Ed Miliband was poor and didn't land a single blow.
He didn't wipe the floor with Blair at the majority of PMQs. William did considerably better against Tony than John Major, Michael Howard and David Cameron combined, but Tony scored some of his greatest knock out blows in the Commons against him.For someone who was wet behind the ears he was awfully good at wiping the floor with Blair at the majority of PMQs.
Im so glad he isn't my MP then. That is shocking!http://www.publicwhip.org.uk/mp.php?mpn=Gordon_Brown&mpc=Kirkcaldy_and_Cowdenbeath&house=commons
Since election in 2010, he attended 3 votes out of 102, 2.9%
For comparison, Alistair Darling's attendance is above 50%.
Cast your mind back to 1997 people. Tony Blair had lead a crashing victory, John Major resigned from the Conservative party leadership promptly and in a dignified manor.
What came next, well the Tories put William Hague in the hot seat. Not the William Hague we have now, but a wet behind the ears version. No one credible wanted the job. Because anyone credible wanted to stay out of the crossfire while the party sorted it's self out. I wasn't till Micheal Howard took the reigns that things really looked steady.
My guess is that the next serious Labour leader will be a front bencher from the Blair era.

I judge him in a much more positive light than someone with an accent from around this area.I don't think William hague is particularly a good thing in the rebranded Conservative party. It doesn't work, as his accent is just so alien to so many people in this country. I recognise its obviously somewhat his own personal quirk too, but I do believe it could have a negative reaction.
