2008 in review

Andrew Neil | 10:42 UK time, Friday, 19 December 2008

So we have finally reached the end of 2008.

The house has risen and MPs are off on their Christmas break. It has been a remarkable year. christmas.jpg

We will be looking back at the year and testing three leading politicians on their memory of events.

Employment Minister, Tony McNulty, Shadow Arts Minister, Ed Vaizey and LibDem Treasury spokesman, Vince Cable will be the MPs in the spotlight. But to give them and you a little headstart here is a clue to some of the big stories of the year:

12 months of Cleggy
11 spinners sniping
10p tax band weeping
9 MPs revolting
8 per cent GDP borrowed
G7 coffers slimming
6 backbenchers braying
5 by-elections to campaign in
4 bailing banks
Mandy's third return
2 yachting foes
And a Barack Obama presidency

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
