The Glass Box is where the PM team meets at 18.00 every weeknight to discuss the content of the programme. If you want to let it all out in this virtual glass box, be my guest. Tonight's PM editor Mark Frankel will read your comments and may well add his own.

    That's either a much smaller box than normal, or that bunny is incredibly large! I'm tempted by theory 1, but that would also mean the apple is rather diddy as well (crab apple?)...

    I think the Master got at the glass box with his miniaturisation thingy. Where's the Doctor when you need him?

    OHHH, a second playing of the TW theme tune! How can I bear the excitement? And what if it is played a THIRD time? - Better get the paramedics on standby.

    Yes !! Vindication !! An admission that vetting and barring law is badly drawn and confusing.

    So why, in talking about the supposed need to cut back public spending, has PM only invited two people who agree on this need and talk about whether Labour is sincere in promising this, rather than somebody who opposes this idea? Isn't the BBC supposed to be unbiased on the issues of the day?

    Here's an idea: why not PAY ATTENTION while the forecast is on the radio! Then one can whinge about it being wrong.

    Disappointed you didn't touch on the Lehmann Brothers story at all. Waiting for the weather with bated breath.

    ...yep, when the forecast comes on, I'll be glued to it. I'll take in every detail...

    Am I fed up hearing about the Lehman bankruptcy?
    Not nearly as much as I'm tired of hearing the name mispronounced as "Leeman" when it should be something like "Layman".
    Yes it's German but surely the "h" is some kind of clue. "H" does not equal another "e".
    Hats off to Nick Clegg, (was it?) who appeared on the programme a few minutes after the Lehman article. He got it right!

    Please pass on my apologies to Sarah, or was it Susan, the weather forcaster. Totally drifted off again, and I was trying to make a concerted effort to pay attention this time. I FAILED AGAIN! :(

    Ooooh - it's Harvey! I guess he is kind of a gnome Big Sis - he was around in our childhood garden before I was, though he used to be cream and maroon. Someone gave him a paint job a while ago, and seeing him in this light I see he's about due for another :-)

    Why make cuts?

    Why not reclaim more of the government borrowing that worries people so much, by buying it up through quantitative easing?


    It's what Mervyn King, Governor of the Bank of England wants to do, to the tune of 50 billion more, right now.

    What is it with his Monetary Policy Committee? Why doesn't he just over-ride them. He's the Governor after all, the Committee no more than a team the Bank appoints and treats its opinions as binding.

    But it can ignore them and should in this case.

    They are very staid economists when compared to Mervyn K's verve, creativity and courage in proposing this brilliant remedy to fears about borrowing.
