        Wouldn’t it be great to have lib dems as leader of the opposition? get these lying scum called labour out of are politics almost entirely

        It now seems that costs of Labour’s smearing operation were not only
        borne by the taxpayers funding McBride but also by the poor saps paying
        for Unite membership and thus funding the venue for the plotting.

        Wight Tory says:

        I have a feeling that the Trade union movement will colapse as a result of this sham. As much as I believe in workers rights, I can’t help but think that all this shit is being laid at the door of unions in general. Would be the end of Labour for good also, without a pay master, they’re toast…

        W Mitty says:

        Wight Tory – I am afraid as always that jack sh*t will happen. It is just one of those uncomfortable situations that can be ridden until it subsides.

        Bear in mind that only .0000000000005 % of the population actually care. The rest wach Newsnight, or follow blogs and get excited or worked up and think “This is it. This the moment that defines and changes everything.”

        Truth is, and I think we know it: No-one actually cares.

        Or rather…

        the ones that do care are not in quantities to actually effect change. And worst of all the govt knows that. Edward Balls is not trying to persuade us that he is the right man for the job. We know he is shite and he knows we know. But sadly most do not. He is just another name that will be presented to the electorate at a time convenient to him and inconvenient to Brown and he will (probably) get it. Even though I UTTERLY DESPISE him and his lack of ideology.

        The problem as always is most people don’t give a shit and as a result the electorate get what they deserve.

        Why the hell are there 500 comments on a non-post??? OK, I bet someone has said this already but who cares.

        Kasou says:

        Hey this non-blog is generating more comments than the Editors Choice n the Telegraph yesterday, maybe Mr. Rayner ( the potential new Senior Advisor to McBRUIN) should take a tip, write nothing and let us have our say.

        Please note Editor of Telegraph stopping comments to your choice article at 13:30 on a Saturday does not show much confidence in your choice of article or senior staff.

        Geoffrey says:

        Mandelson says on the lap poodle BBC that we must all stop talking about this. Ministers he says have better things to to do with their time. Like what? – fiddling their expenses, imagining smears, getting twice fired for dishonesty, failing to supervise banks, pushing stealth socialism? Is the man deranged?

      Sleepless nights for some.

      Is it Watson, Whelan or Balls to go next, so many to choose from, so many deep, deep in the mire.

      Lovely story in the Times about Balls: Ed Balls ‘ran’ Labour’s smear unit

      You are all so, so fucked. The latest poll may show some recovery but I’m guessing that was Snotty’s little G20 bounce, comprehensively deflated by the present shitstorm. Die you bastards, die.

      • 174
        Winston Smith of Airstrip One says:

        SwissBob —- Shitstorm? shitstorm? where did you get that word? have you been listening to the earwax-eating Australian Prime Minister who orchestrates the use of gutter language on national television broadcasts so the public thinks he’s one of the boys.

        A major Stan missive right now would be the icing on this delicious cake, a cake that should never again be left out in the rain .

      • 367
        SwissBob says:

        Mr Winston Smith,

        I have thought that if it becomes necessary I will start a campaign for us all to change our names by deed poll to Winston Smith, that would really fuck the bastards up, but I digress.While not being the most creative writer I feel I’ve made a small contribution fighting ‘the war on terror’ waged on the people of Britain by this sickbag of a Govt. Australia is not a country I follow the politics of and can therefore honestly say I’ve hardly read mention of the aussie prick who has therefore had no influence on my writing, poor as it is.

        I will confess to being inspired by the dead plumber, St Stanislav, who could write a sentence, usually an incredibly long one.

        Greetings to all you Pommie Bastards from Dan Unda. Glad to see you still remember Australia. Always remember that the UK and Oz are united and we are all descended from the same criminals.

        Just to let you know that in keeping with current global trends and not to be outdone by the UK or USA we in Ozzieland also have a closet socialist bastard for a PM.

        And we take offence when we hear people saying our Dear Kev uses gutter language because he ‘wants to be one of the boys’. Dear Kevin IS one of the boys.

        Unfortunately what we need is a man. And I don’t mean that in the sense that we’re all poofters down here, no.

        Remember: Baaa Means No!

        Kevin Rudd says:

        Ploker – don’t go encouraging those poor bastards in UK, because if the unthinkable happens and Labour get back in then all these poms will be down here!

        TomnotBower says:

        Maguire has just been on News24, when the headline showing he’d been at the meeting with Collins/McBride/Draper etc to set up RedRag he was allowed to dismiss it saying “I can’t remember what was discussed”

        Neither of the presenters asked him about it. Typical

        I hope he is in your crosshairs,the shite

        Fine words from the Dhimmi for Oldham East – if his sort didn’t spend so much time sucking up to the Islamists who refuse to integrate into British society, the BNP bastards wouldn’t have a constituency.

      Oh, but little Tommy lied.

      Tommy puffed and Tommy squealed
      He called in Carter Ruck
      Now even Sion’s answerphone
      Says off please, Tommy, fuck

      Poor tubby Tommy Watson
      As bloated as can be
      The pin there poised, himself to prick

      M A Plonquer says:

      Surely NOW is the time while the government is busy hosing down the stable they call Number 10 to call for a Vote of Confidence in the House.

      Who in their right mind – besides Ed Balls who doesn’t actually have a right mind – would line up in the lobby to back Gordon Brown this week? It would also give all those legitimate Labour hoons (the ones who do actually think socialism is a brilliant idea) a platform for revenge. The ONLY way for any Labour politician to get re-elected is to be seen to stand against Brown the Town Clown.

      A Confidence Vote could truly hasten a general election and the good people of Kirkaldy would have a chance to vote in their new SNP MP.

      OMG. I think I’ve justed Saved the World.

      • 523
        Kevin Rudd says:

        MA – you over-estimate the IQ of your average Labour poly. Also, turkeys & christmas comes to mind. I do agree, however, that watching them troop through the Ayes (or would it be Nayes – I’m confused now) door to support Brown would be a YouTube they would want to forget.

      • 814
        Gordon Brown says:

        SNP, oh yes, the Party conning the Scots that they will be Independant soon, Independant of what when 80% of BRITISH Laws are made in Brussels.
        The Scots need to think more than one move deep, Scottish National Party, unless salmond is saying he si going to pull out of the EU then the SNP are an EU Trojan Horse designed to divide and conqEUr the Patriotic British vote

      • 940
        M A Plonquer says:

        Dear Mr Rudd. It is an honour to meet you sir. Being one from Dan Unda meself I think’s great that we Ozzies are not outdone by the UK and USA and like them we have our own closet socialist bastard for a PM. The UK and God’s Own Country Australia have much in common and we’re all descended from the same criminals.

        As for Scotland well that’s a basket case isn’t it. Tories chances of gains there are smaller that Mr Rudd’s pecker, mate and they can’t even play cricket. If I was running the place I’d sell Scotland to China as a wind farm.

    Dr Auditory says:

    Super work, Detective Guido (and any co-conspirators).
    I’m a supporter of Labour – but not of deceit and duplicity.
    This will inescapably (and rightly) burn out the infection of people who thought they could bully, cheat and remain untouched. And those who have supped at these tables.
    Why can’t people find new and exciting ways of presenting the truth (or a convincing case for) rather than cold-bloodedly constructing lies? The former – I guess – is rather more difficult than the latter.

    • 242
      Peter Grimes says:

      The whole edifice of ZaNuLieBor has been built on lies. From the promise of whiter than white through ‘improved educational standards’, lower crime, WMD, ‘we have repaid debt’, ‘best placed to withstand the recession’, ‘it started in America’, ‘I knew nothing about it’ and oh so many more.

      I hope that you are not really a doctor, because if you still support New Labour after all of their deliberate lies, you are quite congenitally stupid and probably unfit to practice.

        Silent majority:

        You don’t have to have ‘true insight’ and ‘knowledge’. You are a citizen (I presume) and a voter. You have an opinion to which you are entitled, as you are entitled to voice it. If you’re angry enough to come here and think about what is said and cheer Guido on, you’re fully equipped to fight this ‘government’ alongside him. Go to it.

        Look – the bastards are so worried that they are counting the blogs against them. Add 1 to their total. Consider the impact of reading a Spad’s report saying something like ’1,000 new anti-government blogs in a week.’

        Don’t you fancy making that happen?

      • 457

        Not only start your own blog, but start Following other similar blogs. I expect the government counts the number and growth of followers as well as the number of blogs in assessing their influence.

    The media already having bitten the hook and given weight to these email based stories they are practically obliged to publicize any weightier info that you now bring to light…

    ….so for those counting in this episode alone you’ve already scalped: one political advisor, Labour’s web-hub, Dolly, Labour’s credibility, -5 polling points, a former Labour MP’s resignation from her party (and countless members no doubt)….

    …furthermore, revealing Labour as the nasty party gives Cameron’s successful efforts to rebrand the Tories a unforeseen turbo boost (alongside legitimate human concern for him personally given his recent tragic loss). I can Osborne is attempting to use the capital to change the terms of debate with the budget approaching. I don’t vote Tory (Lib Dem), but wow…

      • 472

        We already suspect that many of their supporters are ‘ghosts’. The electoral authorities should be pressed to investigate the integrity of the electoral rolls and registers, and the validity of postal votes. The other parties should be more alert and suspicious of Labour fraud, and possible connivance with corrupt officials.

    From the Sunday Times article..

    “According to the whistleblower – whose account was confirmed by a minister who described Balls’s activities as “unforgiveable” – Mandelson is particularly frustrated by the “shadow operation” and is desperate for “someone to bring order” to the mess inside No 10. His preferred candidate is Alastair Campbell, Blair’s former spin doctor.

    It is understood that Brown has made it clear to Campbell that he can have “whatever he wants” in exchange for returning to a full-time role at No 10, including a peerage. Campbell is said to have “flatly refused” as long as Balls has such a strong power base, fearing he will be undermined by briefings against him. ”

    THIS HAS MANDY’S FINGERPRINTS ALL OVER IT.

    He has hired the ‘whistleblower’ – this to wipe out Ed Balls, slip Gordon’s wings and bring back the Blairites, with Alistair Campbell as head honcho.

    Then it won’t matter who is actually Prime Minister as the ‘Dark Lord’ Campbell and the ‘Prince of Darkness’ will be running the whole shebang..

So however much everyone on this blog calls for it – get real – it isn’t going to happen.Period ! This government will probably totter on until 3 June 2010 with Brown at the helm.He’ll have to prised out of the leadership and Downing Street because he won’t go of his own volition.

        Even if Smith does not get the push her staggeringly inept peformance both as Home secretary and dodgy expense claimant is doing the opposition’s work for them.
        As far as the speaker is concerned if Cameron moves for his sacking before the next election the government majority will simply vote in another stooge.
        The mandarin’s,ODonnell,Normington and many others do have a case to answer but until a new government takes the reins they are untouchable.

    Just done some sums and it seems true Local Government (street by street) is the answer. Let’s see – 100 people in my street… Don’t know incomes but let’s say they’re on the average wage of £25,000 a year. Current tax paid by this street would be around £1200000. For that we can hire a doctor on 24 hour call, a couple of nurses, a coupe of teachers for the kids (at 8 or 9 in a class) three or four police who won’t nick me for doing 33mph, and some blokes to mend the road and take our rubbish.

    …and it gets even worse for Balls (is that possible?)

    THE man blamed for last year’s school testing fiasco is to break his silence and accuse Ed Balls, the children’s secretary, of misleading the public by denying any responsibility.

    Ken Boston, former chief executive of the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA), will contradict claims by Balls that he bore no responsibility for the shambles that disrupted the education of tens of thousands of pupils.

    Instead, he is likely to tell MPs that ministers were “active participants” and “in no way at arm’s length” as the problems of tests multiplied.

    Ed vader who would have thought it , “i didnt reall know mcbride that well “declared ed last week , but it now turns out that there have been loads of emails between ed and mcbride , and an unnamed insider with a ringside seat says eds wednesday afternoon group is some sort of spin factory functioning as some sort of internal labour stasi , to clear the way for Ed balls rise to be “tugger timney in chief” sorry i meant right hand man . apparently tried to block mandelsons return , call mandelson what you like , but to say that Ed has mandelsons grasp of politics is a joke .

    even more alarming is that gordon has apparently annoited ed , quite what the cermony involved must be unprintable , but my guess is 50 hamsters must have been force fed grain for 4 months , and then thrown at the wall of the no 10 press office in the cermony known as “not taking anymore calls”

    surely watsons disappearence into holiday time is no coincidence .

    But lets be right about this , these smears were not your usual run of the mill , close quarter dualing , they were a “dirty bomb” with legacy and innocnet victims .

    its all a bit beuna hoonista social club , viva revolution, to keep a wonk ideaology going , it now seems all last weeks spin has caught them all out , gus o donnel looks inept , ed appears to have lied , mcguire caught red handed , douglas alexander all too distant , tom watson seeming not to recall any facts despite his ministerial job title meaning that he must have known .

    but the Ed thing looks so sleazy , caesars wife appreciates that rises to power are often long time periods carefully tended to , but i am struggling to name one speech that ed has dazzled us all with , even his hoon tube vids ae not only boring “travelled to birmingham today to see some kids and its really great to see how much they enjoy school , any how ime just about to brush my teeth and have a kip so see you all in the morning” . i mean if these vids are his media practising for the top job in labour , i cant say as ime all that enamoured .

    but then after whatever barrels of explosive info guido rolls to the doors of no10 , we see a massive media operation going on, hidden tax payer funded wages (the money being paid and the expenses is interesting in its own right) and lackeys , run under the auspices of one gordon brown , he is el presidente after all .

    The whistleblower, who has had a ringside seat watching the bitter rivalries and power struggles inside No 10, was prompted to speak out after Balls gave an interview last week in which he distanced himself from the disgraced spin doctor, referring to him formally as “Mr McBride” as if he were some renegade official he barely knew. “I couldn’t believe what I was hearing,” said the whistleblower. “It was an incredibly dishonest interview. For Ed to suggest he barely knows Damian is an absolute joke.”

Radio5 just gave the softest interview I’ve ever heard to some female Liebour MP who just slagged Guido Fawkes off and the ‘silly boys’ (basically it was an anti male rant from a ‘superior bike riding female who also defended 5 bellies)

    Oh she also repeated the accusation that Guido hacked Drapers email account. I’m surprised Guido hasn’t told his lawyers to have a word with the BBC about that yet.

    Them on BBC news 24 some limp wristed twat from the Independent was in full Gordon defence mode. So god knows what Marr is going to be like.

      Nick Robinson goes ‘on holiday’ just before the scandal breaks and remains silent, a ‘clean skin’ is brought in to do Robinsons job for him, very fishy isnt it?
      Robinson has benefitted greatly from the smear units activities, his scoops could only have come from that source, the question is, was he sent away and ordered to dissapear for a while and say nothing.
      I think Robinson is implicated and I think he is being hidden away by the BBC, I believe Robinson knows all about the scandal because he was heavily involved in it, his scoops on the Osbourne story were just the kind of thing that the smear gang indulged in and Robinson got the inside line straight away.
      Nick Robinson has previous form for going away at just the right time to avoid reporting on issues that are uncomfortable for him.
      IF it turns out that Nick Robinson has colluded with those at the centre of the scandal it will be a very big story and will damage the BBC hugely, no bloody wonder then that the BBC hides him away!

    LAST WEEKS GUARDIAN INTERVIEW: “Giving the first detailed account of the background that led to the weekend resignation, Draper said that the email from McBride smearing leading Conservatives “came out of the blue”.

    He said he had had one previous conversation with McBride about Labour’s web strategy, along with Charlie Whelan, the Unite political director and a former aide to Brown when he was chancellor.

    Speaking from his holiday, Draper said he thought he had been drawn into the discussion because of his knowledge of the internet.”

      The Tories sold out Ian Smith and can be held responsible for that bastard Mugabe.
      They turned the other way the minute Mugabe started murdering which was months after taking power. Some 20,000 and more murdered in Matabeleland by North Korean trained thugs. Shades of Rwanda.
      And the bastard tories looked the other way and left Smith and most of the population in the hands of a Tory imposed Tyrant.
      We don’t all forget.
      Britain’s betrayal of Southern Africa stinks.
      Britain is largely responsible for the murder and starvation in Rhodesia today.
      I hope our politicians are proud every time they see a new atrocity.

    BULLETIN REGARDING THE HEALTH OF THE SUPREME LEADER

    A bulletin has been posted on the railings of 10 Drowning (in Debt) Street by a SpokesPorkPerson, which reads :

    10am, Sunday April 19, 2009

    The Supreme, Beloved, and Glorious Leader remains weak, and in a critical condition following emergency apologectomy earlier this week. The procedure to extract the apology was fraught, and long drawn out, and wearing on both patient and operating team.

    The badly eroded apology has now been minutely examined by a skilled team of pathologists and found to be useless. The Glorious Leader in no way feels better to have lost his apology, and might even try to grow another. But like all apologies, the organ is useless unless used properly.

    Teams of spin, diversity, equality, compliance, and other jobsworths remain on standby lest the Glorious Leader relapses.

    The Deputy Glorious Leader remains on standby ready to take over.

    A further Bulletin will be released in due course.

    Despite Marr trying to paint the picture of people parading up and down the street holding placards after a “supposed Tory Victory” – saying “No Tory Cuts” Osborne put the matter right . “These will not be mine or the Conservative Party’s Cuts – they will be Gordon Brown and the Labour party Cuts – caused as a result of his spending over the time he has been in charge of the nation’s finances – Andrew” (subtext – Now f** off your egregious little Labour creep) – Marr tried a last “attack” by under the guise of getting Osborne to condemn “Smeargate” by saying something to the effect “Well even though the Sunday Mirror to-day publishes details of prostitutes etc…….”

    That more than anything demonstrates what the task will be – Labour’s placemen(ansd women) in the media are now on a “war-footing” and will do whatever it takes to try and ensure Labour hang on to power

    Osborne on “The Marr Show”also revealed that heither he(or more importantly is wife) have received a letter or apology from Brown written in black marker pen or typed or anything else. Brown is a total disgrace both as a human being and a Prime Minister and shames those people who have held his office before him – and there have been some real “stinkers” in the years preceding him too.

    That this country could actually have a Prime Minister and Leader of a political party who cannot take responsibility or blame for anything(even though it happened “on his watch” and who must take the ultimate responsibility as both head of government and leader of the Labour Party – whether he was “personally responsible” or not(it’s called Moral courage” and leadership” – Mr Brown) and cannot bring himself to admit the blame or say what any decent human being would immediately say and only says the word “sorry” (and in a pefunctory manner )when told by his advisors that the whole affair is damaging him electorally and he needs to utter the word for the media(not incidentally for those smeared it will be noted if you re-read the record)and who has encouraged such a climate in the heart of Downing Street no longer deserves to retain that office and should be voted out of power at the earliest opportunity. He and his administration are now a “stain”on our national reputation and no longer enjoy the confidence of the majority of the electorate. They are past redemption and no longer have any moral authority left.

    As Osborne said – politicians have pretty tough skins and expect some criticisms(although “smeargate” went beyond even that)but to attack a spouse goes “beyond the pale”. How would Brown feel if it was his wife getting attacked – no doubt the crescendo would be deafening from our left -leaning media such as Marr and his ilk ?

        You work with what you’ve got ! I have no illusions about politicians from either party but the only way to get rid of Brown is to vote in Osborne & Co and quite honestly I don’t give two hoots whether he and Cameron and half the “shadow cabinet” went to Eton,Oxford or was a member of the “Bullingdon” or whatever – the priority is to get rid of Brown and Labour who are the worst evil at the present time for the countryh and whatever your political slant – The so called “smeargate” WAS a major political blunder by Brown who allowed the matter to gain traction when a few honest words and saying “sorry” would have killed it dead on Good Friday rather than let it build momentum over a slow news Easter weekend and shows the hubris and the heart of Downing Street

        As for “social mobility” that ended in the 1990′s and certainly no longer applies even under a Labour Government who(until the cash ran out) were sending more and more young people to ex-polytechics(I know that was started in 1992 under Major – I didn’t agree then either) to do courses in “Media Studies” or “Creative Writing Skills” under false pretences rather than keeping the vocational schemes going. All we get is over-qualified check-out/McDonalds workers with degrees earning as much as if they’d just left school at 16 but saddled with debts that they cannot repay. Now THAT is a scandal and successive governments are to blame for it. The “golden years” of social mobility were in the 60′s and 70 when the present lot of left-wing types enjoyed the fruits of that time and barring a miracle is NEVER going to return to the same extent. Privilege gains privilege – it’s the “British Way” I’m sorry to say and even Labour are not disinclined to undertake some well targetted nepotism either – Blair or Gould or several other names some going back decades before spring to mind. Barring revolution which is NEVER going to happen we’re stuck with the present system however flawed and have to work within it.

      Brown lacks humanity, courage, moral rectitude, humour,common decency and personal honour.

      Brown is devoid of these basic human traits because he is mentally ill, his dark side has been given free reign for years, sidekicks have encouraged him and surounded him with toady yesmen, the end result is a tragedy for all of us not least ordinary labour party members who are seeing their party eaten from the inside untill only a rotten corpse remains.

    The Teddy Bears’ Picnic

    If you go down to the woods today
    You’re sure of a big surprise.
    If you go down to the woods today
    You’d better go in disguise.

    For ev’ry bear that ever there was
    Will gather there for certain, because
    Today’s the day the teddy bears have their picnic.

    Ev’ry teddy bear who’s been good
    Is sure of a treat today.
    There’s lots of marvelous things to eat
    And wonderful games to play.

    Beneath the trees where nobody sees
    They’ll hide and seek as long as they please
    Cause that’s the way the teddy bears have their picnic.

    If you go down to the woods today
    You’d better not go alone.
    It’s lovely down in the woods today
    But safer to stay at home.

    For ev’ry bear that ever there was
    Will gather there for certain, because
    Today’s the day the teddy bears have their picnic.

    Picnic time for teddy bears
    The little teddy bears are having a lovely time today
    Watch them, catch them unawares
    And see them picnic on their holiday.

    See them gaily gad about
    They love to play and shout;
    They never have any care;

    At six o’clock their mummies and daddies,
    Will take them home to bed,
    Because they’re tired little teddy bears.

    CuttingEdge says:

    OK, confession time. I am an avid BBC radio listener. Specifically (and singularly), 5Live’s Drive 4pm – 7pm weekdays, with Peter Allen and his foil Anita Anand. Peter’s dry wit and cynicism are a joy, and Anita is serious “thinking man’s tottie” material (just don’t let her loose in the kitchen). When John Pienaar pays a visit his acerbic undertones leaves one in no doubt as to his true inner opinion on the imbecilic nature of this government. Given the constraints put on them by the Brown Broadcasting Corporation they do a great job.

    There is, however, a dung beetle in my soup of enjoyment. Maybe in the interests of “balance”, but much to my ire, a certain Kevin Maguire is occasionally given airtime on the show to voice his particular brand of verbal diarrhoea. The microsecond I hear his cheeky-chappie macam sphincter about to defecate to the masses I reach for the off button. You know the feeling: like when Brown appears on TV and the only think stopping you putting the remote through the screen is the fact that your understanding wife has ensured it is out of harm’s way.

    So when Maguire’s “Article 6” appeared last week, along with revelations of his direct involvement with Draper and Hoon McBride my faith as an atheist was tested…maybe there was a God after all? I promptly despatched a complaint to the BBC about their credibility in continuing to use this sewage farm as a source, thinking it would be surplus to requirements, given anyone at Shepherds Bush with even a modicum of intelligence would be way ahead of me…and received the following response on Friday:

    “Dear Sir

    Thanks for your e-mail regarding Kevin Maguire.

    Firstly, I apologise for the delay in our reply. We know our correspondents appreciate a quick response, and it’s a matter of regret to us that you’ve had to wait for so long on this occasion.

    I can’t comment on The Daily Mirror blog as it has nothing to do with the BBC. If you feel it is inappropriate you could consider contacting The Daily Mirror management. (Fair comment – CE)

    However I appreciate that you feel that Kevin Maguire is no longer a suitable person to be on the BBC and so I’ve registered your complaint about him on our audience log. This is a daily report of audience feedback that’s circulated to many BBC staff, including members of the executive board, channel controllers and other senior managers.”

    Yesterday I was still hearing this malignant little scumbag polluting the airwaves. Is he like one of those cockroaches that just refuses to lie down and die gracefully? After you’ve emptied half a can of bug spray on it, that is? A classic example of which is the mother of all cockroaches, Charlie Wheelan.

    For crying out loud, I want my favourite program permanently cleansed of this abhorrence. I’m quite happy for Maguire to carry on at the Mirror – the only “grassroots” Labour supporters reading that “red rag” while he is involved would vote for a steaming turd if it had a red rosette pinned to it, but the rest of us deserve bette, particularly from a media stream we have to pay for.

    May the Fawkes be with you.

    Marr’s interview with Pantsdown was pathetic. The revelation in 92 of his affair with his secretary at the height of his political career was not mentioned.

      Qui Custodiet says:

      HP writes like a Labour media specialist, judging by some of the cut and paste stuff right down to the bullet points – which all makes it sound like it’s all straight out of those comprehensive briefing packs beloved of Labour press officers.

      But it should be noted that Labour’s media handling is significantly improved over the last 24 hours, which may explain HP’s confident assertion here. The uncharacteristically smooth response from Jacqui Smith today – the Hilsboro files story – is reminiscent of the sure touch of Mandelson back at work on his old turf.

      Giving Jacqui the lead in the Hilsboro story (files being released ‘at her request’) is also classsic and much used strategy: a genuine headline (and it is – ask anyone in Liverpool) backed by a real story which they can’t ignore creates the time for the institution to get back on the front foot. Note that it wasn’t Brown asking for the files to be released – that would have been the clunking response a week ago and it’s significant that it’s not been played this way this time.

      Someone trailed a spoiler yesterday about Labour being third in the polls; the actual figures, though bad, were therefore relatively disappointing. It’s an old trick, lowering expectations, and it’s worked in the MSM largely.

      Expect more of the same more assured but equally contrived stuff in the run up to the budget & beyond.

      They will, I guess, be inclined to judge that Guido’s second round of revelations fell much flatter then he might have hoped – no resignations, and no real additional pressure for them yet despite the NOTW headline.

      In all, they might well feel that today’s coverage has been marginally better then they might have hoped. The ‘second wave’, which is usually a killer in political media coverage, hasn’t really had that much effect. The Ray Collins stuff isn’t gaining any real traction on the Beeb or on Sky, and they’re taking Maguire’s denial straight and using an indignant Jowell to round off the report talking about hard working ministers; it all suggests a return of nerve for the politicos.

      The weakness of Labour’s strategy is that it has up to now been based on the reflexes and vulnerabilities of the msm and hasn’t taken into account the fact that Guido is not playing by any rules they would recognise. But Guido shouldn’t think that they’re not very, very quick to recognise new realities and vulnerabilities and they’re likely to be all-out to salvage pride, establish dominance over the pack and the lobby and regain control.

      Guido’s obviously got more – he trailed it yesterday – and the fact that it hasn’t appeared on the blog as promised today suggests a hold up of one kind or another, unless it’s Labour he’s teasing rather than his readers…

      High stakes indeed. And only Guido knows how many cards are still to be played…
