Following revelations in today's Times that if there was an Olympic Gold medal for 'chillaxing', David Cameron would win it, Labour's John Mann MP said: "People across the country will be concerned that while Britain was heading for a recession made in Downing Street David Cameron was concentrating on 'chillaxing'. "The Prime Minister should be totally focused on a plan for jobs and growth rather than playing computer games on his iPad."
