1214 From BBC political correspondent Ross Hawkins: Gordon Brown's urging mediation for the postal dispute. There's not much mediation in the House. David Cameron accuses him of an appalling display of weakness because plans to sell a minority stake in Royal Mail to a private company have fallen by the wayside. On the face of it the debate's about the mail. In reality it's about the Conservatives arguing the PM is weak and dithering - and Gordon Brown saying they're plain wrong.
1213 Mr Cameron shouts that the best way to end the strikes is to "show some courage". He mentions the PM's delay last week in describing his favourite kind of biscuits - a pre-prepared gag, one suspects. Mr Brown says the Tories are "wrong" on all the major issues. Mr Cameron's questions are over for another week.
1210 Mr Cameron says the postal workers' union pays "half" the prime minister's "bills". Labour MPs jeer him, as the Speaker has to interrupt proceedings with another warning about noise.
1209 Mr Brown turns his fire on the Tories, saying there is no suggestion a Conservative government would be able to sell Royal Mail. Mr Cameron says union "militancy has got worse" since the sell-off was abandoned, but Mr Brown once more urges a negotiated end to the industrial dispute.
1208 Mr Cameron accuses Mr Brown of an "appalling show of weakness" as the part-privatisation of Royal Mail is delayed. The PM says no buyer has been found yet. Mr Cameron says this is "nonsense", and says the delay was caused by a lack of Labour backbench support.

1206 Tory leader David Cameron rises, to cheers from his own benches. He starts on the planned Royal Mail strikes and asks the PM to condemn them and call on unions to call them off. Mr Brown says it is right to urge reconciliation and do "everything in our power" to reach an agreement.
( I know, how sad is that? ) but the impression I got is that Gordon Brown is accusing the CWU
