Notice that the Mail on Sunday and The Times followed up on the story broken first on Guy News of the lewd Labour MP and Nadine Dorries.  Guidogram subscribers knew first and got the “behind the blog” back story of last week.

Peter Kilfoyle MP made a bit of a splash in the local paper last week:

As reported he commissioned a study that called for a directly elected mayor with tax and spend power.  Kilfoyle said his aim was to “put the cat among the pigeons” and was attacking “.. a cosy local cabal”.  The study was carried out by a local Liverpool firm, KIP Research Ltd.  Guido called them up to find out more…

Guido Fawkes :  Who commissioned the report?
KIP Research : Well you obviously know.
GF : Who paid for it?
KR : How did you get my phone number?
GF : It is on your website.
KR : I’m not comfortable with this conversation, it is intrusive. [Puts the phone down.]

Guido has tried contacting Peter Kilfoyle via his offices in both his constituency and parliament.  No one there seems to know anything about the report.   Strange because the “independent” research firm is run by, Lucy Kilfoyle, Peter’s daughter.  She used to be his parliamentary researcher before she set up KIP Research Ltd, offering services like, errm, “press and PR support”.

Guido wants to know:

• Did the taxpayer pay for this report?
• If so, how much did it cost?
• In what sense is it independent?

So could someone from Mr Kilfoyle’s office could get back to me, if it isn’t too intrusive, the number is 070 9284 0531…

UPDATE : Precious line in the report criticising the local authorities as a “closed and incestuous shop”.

PM Couldn’t Even Get My Son’s Name Right – Sun

He also met an alien in his local shopping centre.  She was wearing a tutu…

The Guy News broadcast is only available to Guidogram subscribers this weekend.  In it we report on the guys who went to parliament this November fifth and Guido will also tell you about his week from behind the blog.  Gossip?  Well if you want to know the name of that Labour MP who revolted Nadine Dorries with his lurid fantasy you’ll just have to subscribe.  Thousands already have…

While Nadine Dorries has settled her claim for libel against Damian McBride (with Damian having to pay legal costs including for Guido’s time spent serving him with the papers) she has not yet settled her claims against HM Government.

She has until April to commence proceedings, just in time for the whole Smeargate saga to be replayed during the general election campaign.   Sources not a million miles away from the Treasury Solicitor are concerned that while they can argue McBride acted outside the scope of his role, ultimately whether HMG is liable or not will be decided by a jury.  Juries in libel claims can be unpredictable, given the public revulsion with Smeargate and the general unpopularity of McBride’s former boss, Gordon Brown, you can see why the Treasury Solictors might be worried.

The witness box would likely hear evidence from Gordon plus former and current Downing Street co-workers; Liam Byrne, Tom Watson, Sir Gus O’Donnell as well as Damian himself.  Can you imagine the Prime Mentalist giving evidence on oath?  Stammering and squirming with his inability to answer a straight question.  He is bad at PMQs, imagine what he would be like under cross examination…

The government’s lawyers, the Treasury Solicitors, are playing it tough refusing to agree a witness list with Nadine’s lawyers.  This could drag on and on into the election campaign…

In a story yesterday Guido reported that

Guido has been told that three weeks ago Margaret Thatcher wrote a personal plea to her great admirer Václav Klaus, to stand firm, in the hope of strengthening his resolve. It was to be delivered by William Hague.

Lady Thatcher’s office say she did not.  Apologies to Margaret Thatcher and William Hague.

Could journalists not agree a moratorium on asking Gordon to pledge support for our sporting teams?   Last night, as prophesied, Everton fans knew they were doomed to lose the moment the Prime Mentalist wished them well.  Gordon added “I want to see all British teams do well when they are playing against European opposition”. Cursing the hopes of millions of loyal fans, besides Everton, neither Fulham nor Celtic won their European matches…

UPDATE : A fearful co-conspirator alerts Guido to Gordon’s flying visit to the Airbus wing factory yesterday:

Inevitably within hours the Wall Street Journal reported “Blow to Airbus” as 8 aircraft were cancelled losing them $400 million.  Be honest, would you want to fly in a cursed plane?
