cameron. >> thank you, mr. speaker. can i join the prime minister in paying tribute to lance corporal adam drane, who was killed in afghanistan on monday? the 100th military casualty this year is a very sad milestone. we should honor his memory. we should help his family. as the prime minister and i have both seen, when you speak to our troops in afghanistan, it is not sympathy and pity that they are after, but support -- not just for what they are doing, but for the mission in which they are engaged. in my view, they are every bit the equal of those men who stormed the beaches of normandy or who fought their way across africa in the second world war, and we should be proud of what they are doing. the new counter-insurgency strategy and the extra troops announced by america last week do show that we have the last best chance to get this issue right. does the prime minister agree that we simply cannot waste any time in getting every element of the strategy in place, including troops, helicopters, equipment, development a

when you find out about that risk, you cameron's of thing about yourself that you might find useful. you can practice better individualize prevention. therapeutically, we are learning that not every case of cancer ought to be treated the same way. you could do a better matching with that particular person's problem. the idea of the right drug at the right dose for the right person may be possible or rational evidence from the genome. classics, for instance, we learned that -- p;lavex, for instance, we learned that for up to a third of the population that will let you very much for. over time, general interest and understanding and the way this revolution coming from the study of the genome can include the opportunity for human health. that is what the book is about. >> so you switch because of your genetic profile? >> i found out that i am at a higher risk of diabetes than the average person. i was surprised. i do not have a family history of that. but all of the people in my family have been quite lean. when i discovered this, i was little less lean. as a conen

i was at a public meeting with a member of cameron's team and they came out and said that was absolutely fantastic, because did you notice how nobody asked me for money. and what we're not hearing and what we probably won't hear that much over the general election, but will happen afterwards, is undoubtedly going to be not just taxes, which i think probably pretty much have reached their limits, but real cuts in spending. and i think we are going to see that across the spectrum. >> i think it's interesting, i talked to a very prominent person in american finance yesterday who said the real question around the world is what the hell is going on in america. so in asia, that's been the case for a while. china has had a sense of kind of growing american weakness for a while and as america's creditor, feels they've got more leverage over the united states, less inclined to, you know, be supportive on other geopolitical areas where we need their help in iran, north korea, etc. lots of south america and latin america, things look up. europe is having a hard time and the united states is having

. >> gordon brown talked about this and david cameron talked about afghan. >> we want our troops to comehome as soon as possible and when the job is done. but does the prime minister agree with me, we don't want to say anything to show that we won't see this through. nor raise false hope among the families of the british forces that would later be dashed. can he support that any suggestions on timetables will be provided by a situation on the ground. isn't the case that the british public want us to do what is right. it's finally mainstream to talk about the need for a big shift in our strategy in afghanistan. when i first questioned the effectiveness of our action there six months ago and called for this step change i was told -- i was told it was unpatriotic to do so. and the change since then is dramatic and welcomed. our approach of our mission in afghanistan has always been simple, we should do it properly or not at all. does the prime minister agree that success is not just about troop numbers, and focusing on troop numbers as he is today, is putting the cart before the horse. ther

questions towards the end of the year, david cameron try to pin the blame on the prime minister. the conservative leader claimed britain was the last country to move out of recession. >> six european countries that are part of the european union are in recession. i have to say to them the purpose of asking this question must be either the policy that he wishes to put forward so that we can do better or simply talking down britain. >> he is reading out lists of countries for australia, canada, turkey and brazil who went into recession after britain but cannot be for britain. france and germany went into recession at the same time but cannot before. can the prime minister answer this? given that all those countries are in growth and we are not in growth, can he tell us what he meant when he said, quote, we were leading the rest of the world out of recession? >> not one policy from the opposition. we have taken action to restructure the banks -- we have taken action for a fiscal stimulus opposed by the party opposite. we have taken action to keep unemployment down as a result of cre
