It was a different Prime Minister who stood up yesterday for his first Commons question time since the summer recess. Gone was the air of defeat, the sheer weariness that marked his last appearance. In its place was the confidence, the command of dense detail (too dense at times) and the sense of authority that we saw when Gordon Brown was Chancellor and the economy was happily expanding.
