Max Clifford says…
“Most people want to read nasty things about people, not nice things.”
DisgustedOfMitcham2 says:
Maybe if they really wanted to “decontaminate the Labour brand” with business people, they shouldn’t have totally buggered up the economy?
Just a thought.
I swear to god I just saw the word “cocksucker” in there somewhere…..now it has gone….am I having a stroke? No, it’s just the way I am sitting.
Guess the Staggers should have bought that disk of expenses data – guaranteed circluation for at least a week, and “all in the public interest”
But now we’ve got the information ourselves, Gordon, don’t worry about the Independent Scrutiny: We’re already doing it.
Yup, we’ll take it from here, Gordon.
O/T but this is somthing I posted on ARRSE.
Today Cameron suggested somthing that prompted genuine anger from the Labour backbenches.(in a PMQ’s that it was obviously agreed on before would not be a repeat of last weeks angry exchanges)
Reducing the number of MP’s in the HoC.
I also noted that Brown said that reform to our democracy should not come from the ideas of “one or two back benchers”.
I have also noted that senior Labour ministers have been dropping the number of constituents they represent into their TV and radio appearances.
The government,even with their overwhelming majority in the HoC,seem to be afraid of somthing,and it is begining to show.And this is not simply the fear that they are going to lose an election.
With Douglas Carswell targeting the Speaker of the house,pieces of the puzzle are starting to fall into place.
[i]If[/i] the Conservatives take a hardline with the EU I suspect things will go nuclear,as Labour know [i]real[/i] change is on the way.
Is this registering with anyone else?
Or am I being old hat?
Or does my hat need its tinfoil replacing?
interesting post
I noticed it glaring out of the speech. Damned good idea. PR too anyone?
Cause Lib Dems and Tories could EASILY force a coalition government if they wanted too, Labour are no longer trying to win the next GE oh no their waking up everyday and fighting to stay alive at the very moment. Labour will go along with anything just to stay alive, they have little support in the public sector now even the unions paying for them are starting to say they prefer the Tories, crippling debts, lowest popularity ratings ever and real unemployment figures higher than 1980′s. The EU even slaps them down and sues them more times than not.
Labour know they’ve got to get rid of Gorbals Mick and start losing loose cannon MP’s that could harm the party if they choose too.
Tabling the vote for no motion on Gorbals Mick was the shot across the bow from the Lib Dems and Tories to say look boyo’s we call the shots now or else it will be you next getting no confidence motions.
Such a small amount of money to get worried about
by the way the british economy is fucked
57 – insert-coin-here – I’ve been having the same thoughts lately and think (and hope) that you may be right. The Tory break with the EPP last week leaves Cameron isolated which is probably what he wants. Hague looks very happy at the moment and he loathes europe, so let’s hope they’re up to something. The press buried this story in the dailies and didn’t make a fuss but I’m hoping it is, as you say, a hidden agenda to start the ball rolling for our withdrawal.
EPP – European Peoples’Party – just incase you weren’t sure.

Accountancy is not my strongest suit, dontcha know.
inside-coin-here: I’ve just started reading Douglas Carswell/Dan Hannan’s book, ‘The PLan’. Very interesting;
Under the heading ‘Cleaning up Westminster’they list the following proposals:-
1.Abolition of MPs’perks
2.Transparency for remaining expenses
3.MPs bound by the same laws as everyone else
4.Election of the Speaker by secret ballot
etc,etc..
10. A smaller House of Commons.
CHANGE may be coming to England !!!
How many of those subscribers are universities, libraries etc. I bet the real circulation of individiual subscribers is in the hundreds. The fact is it’s a shite magazine.

Reading that you’d think it was only Tories ripping the expenses off. That man is is an utter disgrace.

Any news on the Telegraph – Balls yet?
Dizzy says DT couples special soon!!
Yep, I thought this would be the way it happened! Labour, Cons, LibDems and then back in to really stick the knife in to the Balls….Can’t wait!
Not forgetting the McNulty supplement
drip… drip… drip… drip… drip… drip… drip… Roll on Sunday.
Don’t forget, MEP’s get £160K a year just for fucking showing up. Watch them fiddle their expenses on VIDEO at my place
I wouldn’t mind watching that Caroline Flint fiddle ‘erself.
With a chainsaw, preferably.
Yes, I could have been a Fiddler but I never had the Haritmetic. I never had the Harithmetic for the fiddlin’. I’ve got half a load of tarmac left though….
Excellent idea. I must get onto my Television people.
Testicular’s 1+2 in the clear Speccie (Teles sister) says!!
Nooooooooooooooo!
They must be guilty of something – are they really brother and sister?
Balls authorised this all to be leaked in the first place, its his way of cementing his way to a takeover of Labour by removing every one in his way. He has spent the last year making sure nothing bad would come out about him.
They would have a higher circulation if they re-branded as a comic.
What’s that you say – they are one already!
They will be getting plenty of input now that the MPs’expenses are about to dry up. Anything for a free lunch or four and perhaps a new trouser press.
A trouser press from Corby?
Corby and East Northants which includes Oundle and don’t forget it because that’s the bit that going to vote him out at the next GE.
Does the Beano sell more copies than the NS i would probably say yes, so it wont be a very good comic either
It wouldn’t be very funny; a post-modern comic, I suppose.

Oh dear how terribly sad and pathetic he really is. Oh, and notice that he has chickened out of opening up his diatribe to comments from readers.
What a cold lump of festering necrotic shit he really is.
Yup, i noticed that, too: no reader comments. How brave…
He and Polly make a fine pair.
It is all the fault of Mrs. Thatch. she caused it all with her and her um. Yeah! It is all her fault which is why smart funny people like me, Jo Brand, and Stephen Fry do not like her.
If they printed it on a roll and wrote “Now wash your hands please” on every sheet it might increase their circulation.
Why do they write “now wash your hands please” on loo role – I can never reach the sink from there?

Per an article in the Guardian Jacqui Miss Piggy, Smith told the Police Federation
“That is why the prime minister and other parliamentarians are very clear that we need to change the way in which they work.
“Where people make mistakes, I made a big mistake, they repay the money and apologise for that, and I have done.”
Have I missed something?
No she paid back the money for the Porn, not for the large amounts claimed for her sisters bedroom being her main home, barbeque, patio heater etc etc
I wonder how much or little work her dear husband Dickie has ever done.
Considering he spends all his time at their second home with the kids I would imagine not a lot, I would love to see his weekly itinerary just to see what he actually does for 40k pa
Dickie has done so much work that he now has RSI.
Yeah, you were mislead by the words ‘parliamentarians’and ‘people’in adjacent sentences.
@48,
He spends his spare time, thats when he is not in front of tv, singing the praises of our wondefull home secertary in the form of letters to his local paper.
I would like to commend Jacqui Smith for popinting out that when people do wrong they pay back the wrongly obtained money like she forced that nasty Hazel Blears to do. Truly she is the best home secretary ever.

“Neo Endogenous Growth Theory”* fucked it up.

It was “post neo-classical endogenous growth theory”. Which makes me think of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I don’t know why.
Hooray! More Dolly! Let’s see more of Dolly.
PLEASE tell me he’s somewhow caught up in this whole expenses scam.

All credit to my talented colleague,he at least cured her of anorexia.
Oh well, I’m sure the PLP will fiddle a bigger one for you Kate… only catch is you have to smother Dolly in his sleep (if he can sleep at night that is).
Are we going to find out who used their expenses to keep a mistress?

Douglas Carswell has just said on the Pravda BBC website:
“”I’m not having a dig at Michael Martin because he is anything other than a decent, honest, honourable man.”
Should that read:
“”I’m not having a dig at Michael Martin because he is nothing other than a decent, honest, honourable man.” -
I have been at the Shiraz this afternoon, so my reading / coherency levels are maybe a little ….
The Left no longer need The NS, Grauniad etc etc because they have the BBC. The debate of ideas doesn’t really happen anymore. The major parties squabble over management of the economy. All other debate is basically not PC and therefore illegal.
YOU HAVE IT IN ONE! Clearly you are a person of perceptive and refined intellect.
And therefore potentially dangerous to us.
One way or the other you must be seen to.
There are two options :
1. Join us Progressives, undergo indoctrination (and assessment before being certified safe).
2. Take your chance

I’ve had a bad day. Could do with a nice bottle of red.
I find that a few fingers of Dettol do the business. (Lemon and ice to taste.)
Irish Merlot. From the surprising wines selection.
Mine’s a home made cider washing down a couple of pickled guindillas – no tax, no duty, no nothing to this rotten government and it hits all the right spots.

Why did Brown claim at PMQs that he had “refused the pension that is given to any serving prime minister”?
He hasn’t refused anything of the sort. No pension is given to any serving PM.
Has Brown gone completely mad or has his lying just become surreal?
I noticed that as well. More McMental than ever.
Indeed, what “pension”?
I think it is a medication problem with McBust.
He has obviously been over prescribed differing sedatives & mood stabilisers.
I doubt if he knows what is actually real & what only exists on planet McMental.
If he were a horse on my land I would have to introduce him to Mr Beretta, poor thing.
NOT ME…
Hail Incitatus!
He has refused me the right to a decent pension, is that what he meant.
Brown’s lies are becoming mixed up with his fantasising.
It started in America
He said a few other “mis-speaks” in that interview. eg
1) He claimed the D Tel had accepted his cleaning bill story now – I beleive thye only accepetd he had prodcued some sort of contrcat and other dcos to rpve he had paid he brother. Doesn’t make cleaning your unused flat a claimable expense does it?
2) I think he said something about Blears having paid expenses back – actually she seems to be saying that she is(and we’ll keep an eye on this) paying some tax she might or might not owe, but doesn’t appear to have offered to pay anything back to the HofC
To summarise: he is a liar.
And his pants are on fire.
I would go with completely and uddinery insane.

IS THIS BLOG INFESTED BY RACISTS?
@291 No matey, it is just that our fellow citizens of sub-continental origin tend to fuck off overseas to their real countries when caught out. One geezer of said origin I once had the misfortune to business with was due to hand over 6000 US Dollars to me, in Kigali Airport, Rwanda for an NGO project. The UN found him in Dar Es Salaam three months later, unrepentant claiming that he had “not made any money in profit” from our 6,000 USD while trying to evoke our sympathy for losing the lot!
Why does one remark among a thousand mean that “this blog is infected by racists”?
Typical Left-wing witchhunting smear tactics.
Uddin still needs to explain. She cannot hide behind her colour or her origins.
15,000? That many. Thats a big circlejerk. Perhaps the Ali Campbell edition was the last straw for the die hards. Thats what happens when you have your political editor sacked in some sort of Stalin pastiche. Perhaps they should so Benn/Chomsky/Pilger/Hobspawn special. That will get the workers parting with their cash.
Off topic: Charlie Whelan has broken cover – spinning for Gordon in the Strathspey and Badenoch Herald.
Money quote
” ‘The Daily Telegraph’leaked the payments ahead of time and, as you would expect from a Tory paper, focused mostly on Labour. They totally misled readers about Gordon Brown and falsely reported some other Ministers’claims though given much of the true evidence this was totally unnecessary.
Not even the so-called “Torygraph” could ignore the Tory greed too.
By complete coincidence, I was sitting next to our local MP Danny Alexander on the plane back to the Highlands last week before the expenses scandal broke and I asked him about the whole process.
He confirmed to me that all MPs had been sent the record of their expense to eradicate any errors. For example, he had been charged things that were for Labour MP Douglas Alexander.
It is all the more astonishing then that MPs so spectacularly misread public opinion….
Only pay for travel, give MPs outside London a fixed living allowance and perhaps most importantly pay them the same as other professionals like doctors.
Remember too that most MPs, especially those here in the Highlands, work very hard on our behalf for very little reward.”

According to a piece on R4 this morning the Left is doing very well in France.
Sarkozy is triangulating on left wing policies and language because of the financial crisis. Funny really since he was elected on a platform of anglicising/deregulating the French economy.
No such luxury for the Conservatives because their base is either bonkers or bankers.
Get on with your French homework instead of playing with yourself you naughty boy – you’re annoying the grown ups
Come on.
No such luxury for the Conservatives because their base is either bonkers or bankers.
Is good.
That’s nice for France. Here the Conservative base is >39% of the population. Enough for a 80 seat or so majority.
The left wing economics of Labour and the BN P are proven failures. Soon, very soon, we’ll start rolling back the failed, grossly-inflated and authoritarian state once more.
I do hope you will find a new job somewhere. McDonalds are always hiring, but don’t count on getting any stars too quickly.
Don’t encourage the lout to join McDonalds – he’ll be doing vile things to the mayonnaise.
No such luxury for NooLiebour cos they’re all workers or wankers.
Is good ?
“According to a piece on R4 this morning…”
So that will be a reliable bit of unbiased non-socialist dogma driven reporting then. Not.
Commment still awaiting modding? Didn’t think it was that controversial!
Never ever discuss the respective merits of bottled and draught Guinness. It’s an absolute no-no.
… ahhh! the memories, ‘A Baby in every bottle!’– and then there was ‘Baby Guinness’: that was when it was actually brewed in Dublin, not in London, and before the Accountants took over all the Breweries, and Distilleries, and filth like ‘Watney’s Red Barrel’took over. Just imagine if they’d got hold of Chateau d’Yquem, or Margaux…
I seem to remember that ‘Draught Guinness’(out of a lump of metal the IRA found very useful afterwards) came in at just the time Diesel Trains did: just about equally palatable.
Watneys Red Barrel LMAO
Oh, come on! As a schoolboy, you must know what prime farting-material it was.
p.s. E.I.P.A. I know about (Simonds’s used to do a splendid one, before Courage and Barclay took over, moved the Brewery…) – but LMAO: ‘London Mild and Old’…?
no that was Theakstons Old Peculiar
I might be Olde, but I’m not Peculier: just ask my Partner!
They had an even worse offering, Starlight or something like that. Came out of a blue dispenser if I remember correctly. Didn’t last long.
Whitbread’s did something vile (Tankard?) But perhaps we ought to start a CAMRA branch here.
p.s. Did anyone see that England’s last Master Cooper is soon to hang up his adze? You don’t see Johnny Frenchman getting rid of all his casks, barrels, and so on: they appreciate the subtle effects not only different lengths of time in oak, but even different lengths of time in different oaks, have on taste. Here, it’s all about, ‘Let’s find a cheaper way of doing it.’
SKY NEWS leads on Torygraph to print names + details of WORST YET expenses claims!!!
Gosh.
Balls and Cooper have been put back until Saturday’s edition. Their injunction was overturned today but has delayed things a bit. Worth waiting for though!!
Wrong!
The Balls are clean.
They were cleared in a thorough investigation of their expenses last year, after similar smear rumours.
The Toeragraph simply needs time to spin a lot of yarn which the Barclay’s lawyers will accept.
Rumours are that the lawyers keep rejecting the copy, no matter how hard the brogueless one tries.
Even Private Eye have been nice to the Balls today, favourably comparing them to Blears.
The game’s finally up!!
Nice try, but no cigar I’m afraid, especially for what will in time be seen as a spectacular own goal!
Troffin Toerag Toffs, You are Dolly Draper and I claim my £5.
“They were cleared in a thorough investigation of their expenses last year, after similar smear rumours.” To quote – ‘So what’?
You really don’t get it, do you? Who ‘cleared’them, and what was the actual post-investigation statement? Was it all ‘within the rules’then?
Why do you suppose that MPs who have previously declared that their ‘expenses’were ‘within the rules’– and therefore OK – are now queuing up outside the Fees Office with their cheques in hand?
These guys are shitting themselves now – and rightly. Why have the Balls suddenly gone to ground?
I think I’ve run out of hiss.
Sky does indeed lead on this:

Ed Balls. Ed Balls. Ed balls. Plus a dash of Peter Hain………………
The dis-honerable speaker? and the three Labour MP’s on suicide watch? Perhaps their day in the spotlight has come?
Do you reckon we could get them to pay for those lawyers that we paid for when they tried to keep all this underwraps 4 years ago and last year.
and a soupcon of The Unspeakable.
Tell me, are you a relative, perhaps, of that heroic Gonzo, who always used to do spectacular things at the start of The Muppet Show? I do so hope so!

There are 9 of the bastards, both Liebour and Cons.
I hope it’s Balls Wintertons Martin.
Oh God, this is fantastic.
If Balls n Cooper really did trough 300k last year then surely to God it must be porridge for them both.
News is Gordon is going to make Ed next Chancellor of the Excheqer and the fragrant Yvette, Home Secretary. Gordon is feeling unwell tonight – he had not expected the injunction to be overturned.
If Brown or any of the Labour party machine are involved in the injunctions, god help them.
They could have a very short tenure en poste…
…and the fragrant Yvette, Home Secretary.
Be nice to have a bloke in charge again.
Hi Nell
Is there any preoof tha
Ed is Brown’s closest ally – they are few far between now. He is on record as telling the New Statesman the he would love to be Chancellor. I have read somewhere this week (sorry can’t remember where) that Gordon is proposing to make him Chancellor and Yvette Home Secretary. Wow!!! what a combined earning potential !!! It’ll put bathplugs into obscurity.
They can scratch all that mallarkey now. Time to update their CVs I should coco.

Hi Nell
Is there any proof that the injunction actually existed?
Rather than the DT just “spacing” the revelations ?
The DT had been very quick to suppress any mention of an injunction or those to whom it related in the comments on articles at their site – until this afternoon. That smells of moderation under legal threat.
I spent literally hours looking for it today – no evidence at all, not in writing anyway
If she is made Home secretary be gentle with her as she will not be in the same league as the incomparable Jacqui Smith, the best home secretary ever.

Two pints of Titbread Wankard, please.
Yes I remember Tankard well. But to be fair, of the KEG beers, it wasn’t the worst.
The brewers thought that the supine drinking public would meekly lie down and accept this Keg stuff. It was a dead, inert apology for a beer which had the gas injected into it as it was poured. The stuff was bleedin’vile but thankfully CAMRA came along and rescued proper ale from the brink. “Real ale” is so widely available now that people will not understand how close we were to losing the stuff forever until the drinking public drew a line in the sand. The Seventies was a grim time, not just economically and politically, but as an ale quaffer, it was desperate. In desperate search for taste, people would mix their drinks to get some sort of bite: mild and bitter; light and mild; black and tan; Bishop’s Tipple and bitter. I even had a mate who just gave up and took to pints of sherry.
But it just shows what the Great British public can do when pushed too far. They said “Enough” of this shite, give us back our heritage! And the brewers had to listen since they had no choice.
So too with democracy. We’ve had a gutful of KEG Nulabour – all gas and no substance. It’s a time to campaign for Real Democracy: full bodied, yeasty, hoppy and honest; as a British pint should be. Seems to me it is it happening now. Parliamnet has to listen; they have no choice.
PS
Ironically draught Guinness is a keg beer whereas bottled Guinness is “real” ale.

But it just shows what the Great British public can do when pushed too far. They said “Enough” of this shite, give us back our heritage! And the brewers had to listen since they had no choice.
So too with democracy. We’ve had a gutful of KEG Nulabour – all gas and no substance. It’s a time to campaign for Real Democracy: full bodied, yeasty, hoppy and honest; as a British pint should be. Seems to me it is it happening now. Parliamnet has to listen; they have no choice.

Ironically draught Guinness is a keg beer whereas bottled Guinness is “real” ale.

Watney’s Red Barrel was truly the worst pint I ever supped.Last place I ever saw it was the Cock in Highbury circa 1978.

Were you wearing the Costermonger’s Armband?
No: I was in full Pontificals, with an Altar-boy under my Soutane, and with a Paul VI medal.
I remember that.
Extract water straight from the Manchester Ship Canal, pump as much carbon dioxide into it as possible and call it ‘Watney’s Red Barrel’.
A tad unfair. The Manchester Ship Canal, even at it’s worst, was never that bad.

Sarko is in reality to the left(*) of the labour party.
He has however made special startup tax(**) havens, and produced a very much simplified tax(**) regime for some self employed people that a sarko-hating person I know praises him for.
But he’s being a wuss about all his promises. And he should have SORTED OUT the fisherman.
(*) yes thats a simplification of left-right spectrum
(**) Social security if your pedantic.
Stunned!
It is interesting to speculate how the left will change or perhaps strengthen in the midst of what is proving to be a monumental economic collapse.
Soon tens of thousands of school leavers and graduates will be pouring on to the dole queue. It should be very easy for the left to radicalise them. This time every one knows/believes it’s the bankers/capitalism that needs reining in.
Communist Party in Japan is growing like Japanese knotweed.
The rest of you dimwits can stick to fluffy go nowhere insults, really they are amusing, but not in the way you think.
I don’t see how any thinking lefty could support what happens in France.
The recipients of most of the state aid end up being the middle reaches of society. Those who don’t need it.
There are many problems in France that’s undeniable especially high youth unemployment.
However they have efficient education and health systems, good modern infrastructure as well as successful autombile, energy and aerospace industries. All acheived with good workers rights and powerful trade unions, not bad really.
Another point made on the R4 programme was about some fast growing new left party/group led by a popular 35 year old. It should be interesting, the French like their food and their politics.
France is a wonderful country – it’s a shame the French live there
It’s the patriotism of the French that makes France what it is, not pinkoe leftieism. In any decision, from top to de botturm, the first question is, what is best for France?
61. You’re obviously pissed.
he’s not pissed he’s just some Student Grant, never had a job or a kid or any kind of responsibility, but with a Che Guevara poster on his wall whacking off to the forthcoming “revolution”.
Could not have named him better myself.
Every party in france including the FN are left wing parties.
The UMP the so called right of centre “conservative” party is more or less identical to ZanuLab, the PS is slightly to the left of UMP, then of course France being France to the left of the PS are the various Communist parties, who still pick up millions of votes.
As for LePens FN their manifesto is almost identical to our own National Socialist party the BNP.
Curiously if you read the Labour party manifesto of 1983, it is so similar to the BNP of today, they could have been written by the same person.
True dat.

What is the £10 000 communication allowance that went through at the bottom of the screen?
The so-called Communication Allowance of £10K was introduced about 2-3 years ago and is just another means of boosting their troughing, a sop I believe that came from from Slack Jaw, our so-called Justice Minister who, when he saw the expenses fiasco gathering steam, suddenly decided to write a cheque for his mistaken claim.

You can see why the Uk Police are shite. One obvious crook in the hall and hundreds of coppers and still they didn’t arrest her.

Surely to fuck someone has to go down. How many criminal justice acts have these wankers passed. Do we have any laws that work anymore.
What a fucking shambles, Britain is a fucking shambles from top to bottom.
The speaker is unspeakable. The Prime Minister is a fucking liar. The Home Secretary is a fucking crook. The Foreign Secretary has to phone his mum every night cause shes worried he’s out so late.

How many copies did Brown’s book on courage sell?
I was too scared to ask
Loads, GB, as firelighters, mattress stuffing and for the BBC’s Green Rooms of course.
Not very many.
I don’t know but I went into my local discount bookstore and there were seemingly over a 100 copies of Brown’s tome on Courage on the shelf @ £2 along with Cherie Blair;David Blunkett and other Labour luminaries
‘appn to notice my book?
It’s very good!
The sequel faired no better, I hear.
http://www.thedailydust.co.uk/2008/11/23/browns-courage-pt-2-fails-to-sell/
Apparently, it’s just “an outrageously poor book!”.
Amazon have a signed copy for £50 or it’s £55.99 without the crayon scribbles.
Yes, our bookshop has loads. £1 each or 50p for three.

7th May 2010 – Labour isn’t working!
http://delivernothinglabourparty.blogspot.com/
It seems that, now their injunction has failed; Ed Balls, Yvette Cooper and their bloated expense claims will feature prominently in tomorrow’s Telegraph “couple’s edition”. Will we see evidence of double claiming for the same bills? Fraud surely and certainly a matter for the police.
Also coming up, I’m told, are those pantomime villains the odious, grasping Wintertons, along with Labour’s troughing Keen’s.
David Blunkett and his unconventional (and expensive) lifestyle, perma-tanned Peter Hain, Little Ben Bradshaw, Wee Dougie Alexander, Tessa, “I luv money” Jowell, and some other Labour spongers may also appear in the next day or two.
As Macclesfield and Congleton are no longer as safe as they were, this could lead to the first tory headrolling, as the tories can’t afford to lose that sort of constituencey a la knutsford.
No Michael Martin??
I love my Shreddies
No way would the illustrious speaker eat those wonderful shreddies that I knit for a living – he’s strictly a champagne and eggs benedict breakfast man – at our expense of course.
Will there be a “Swingers Edition”?
What about me?
I am feeling left out.
What’s it all about.
Hic.
Make mine a large one, Doris.
Don’t panic Charley. Luckily for you, you were always too mullered to fill in any claim forms . Being a total lush does have it’s upsides, dontcha know?
hic
His`n`hers cell time pour le famille Balls? Such nice people too.
So what.
I wonder if the Ed and Yvette “we need it to do our jobs “(what jobs!!!) duo managed in 2007/2008 to exceed the £300,000 expenses that they had in 2006/2007. It’s going to be an interesting read – I hope, if they did seek an injunction over this that the taxpayer hasn’t picked up the bill though I suspect we have.
It’s all within the rules
the in rules within all is
Michael Martin is safe in his job?
Oh yes, safe as houses! Why? Because he is a high ranking free mason and there’s no way he will ever lose his job.
Black ball? Heavon forbid.
Taxi anyone!
He can’t be a freemason and remain a practising papist.
… or he might find himself dangling from Blackfriar’s Bridge one fine morning.
The Freemasons are welcome to keep the ol’tub o’lard. We Papists don’t want him!!
Freemasons are just Girl Guides without the camping skills.
Not under the Scottish Rite he cannot be, aye.
In the Labour Pary the Catholic Mafia are more powerful than the freemasons.
He’s part of the Catholic Mafia. In the Labour Party they’re far more powerful than the freemasons.
So mote it be
Should point out that Papist is a term of honour reclaimed by practising papists. The pejorative term de nos jours is cafeteria catholic – of which the Bliars are prime examples.

Is that why they wouldn’t let Lady Mandy in – because she DID have the requisite camping skills?

I just whittled a balsawood comment and tossed it on the camp-fire of destiny and up came the fumes of certainty.
Did he try and mince his way into The Masons?
B-P
Please tell me he’s not a Papist.

Gordon Prentice has just said publically that Martin must go.
Carswell claims that he has signatures from all sides of the House. Prentice’s statement will harvest a good few.
Martin is fucked one way or the other.
If only Brown had the balls to tell him. Brown scared of Glaswegian mafia. Scared of upsetting Reid also a Papist.
Hang Gortbals out to dry nice and slowly…

Aye but for all their power, Rangers look set to take the league.
Of course – they’re all freemasons.
I would like to see him try and get into my lodge without receiving a sword being shoved through various bits of his body.
I’m not a mason and I would love to put a sword through him, but only if it was within the rules. It’s all the system’s fault you know.

PMQs was OK , i was expecting abit more from clegg this time round , but the labell of the do nothing prime minister is begining to stick .
Mervyn Kings interview was more watchable today , and i got the impression that he had now understood , how gordons ecnomic policy had not set off any alarm bells , when the UK plc was getting rogered to death on labours slave ship .
The growth figures darling gave were suspect to me as he never explained which sectors he expected to see the growth !
Phil Hope hasn’t paid a penny back yet. Let’s wait and see if he does so or if he’s just stalling for time.

Don’t forget me. Hic. Whats the second home allownce by the way. I should be told. Hic. Slurp.

BBC site’s table has Balls and Cooper both claiming just over £90k for staff – the same office? Salter is in the clear – one of the ones to claim bugger all, not even 2nd home.

Just watched Hunhe on Sky.
He was asked if he repaid the money for his trouser press because (a) he was wrong to make the claim or (b) because he was embarrassed.
The answer is clear. It’s both. But could he give a simple yes or no? You got it. We heard the usual garbled non-answer so loved of the political class.
It’s pathetic. What could be easier than replying with a simple yes or a simple no.
Is it any wonder we so deride these people who claim to represent us. It’s a farce.
He was too embarrassed to admit he couldn’t work out how to use it.
Just give us the fockin money.
Isn’t it time we went on tour again, Sir Bob. Oime down to me last 200 Euros, to be sure.
Better ask Bono for some – he’s got loads. as he doesn’t pay any focking tax.
Every time my missus goes to Belgium on Eurostar 1st class(or bourgeoisie class according to Stephen Fry) – she’s not in politics I quickly add – she picks up a free copy of New Statesman (NS) as it makes a great floor liner for of our budgie cage.

Look. it’s really a good idea. So long as you just tell your mates or keep changing the ‘phone number, it won’t cost much at all.
Hold on though, wasn’t there some really nice geezer who everyone liked, had an idea? Yes, thats what I want someone liked …. Why don’t we have a cone line? All those irritat………………………Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
How come the whole of the front benches on both sides are sporting glowing sun tans apart from Gordon (his comes out of a bottle). Whatever happened to the idea that MPs carried out consituency work in between parlaimentary sessions? The Spectator? Llike everyone else scan through it in under two minutes at WHSmith, no brilliant writing talent or compelling features just a rehash of the weeks events, cut and paste from blogs and some weak cartoons… shame really… perhaps it should be left alone….certainly MP’s won’t be buying it now the gravy train is slowly pulling out….
They’ve all got sunbeds. And we paid for ‘em.

As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I’ve got a little list, I’ve got a little list,
Of political offenders who deserve to be underground,
And who never would be missed, who never would be missed!
There’s the pestilential nuisances who write the Telegraph,
John Prescott who has flabby hands and an irritating laugh,
The chap who has claimed for his student daughter’s flat,
Mister Brown who in shaking hands, doesn’t shake hands like that,
As the dutiful Policeman outside Number 10 insists
They’d none of ‘em be missed, they’d none of ‘em be missed!

He’s got ‘em on the list, he’s got ‘em on the list;
And they’ll none of ‘em be missed, they’ll none of ‘em be missed!
Then there’s the senior police inspector who is on the case,
And the toffy moat dredger, I’ve got him on the list!
And the chap who puts on make-up and puffs it on his face,
They never would be missed, they never would be missed!
Then the idiot who praises, our beloved ex-leader Tone,
All centuries but this, and every country but his own;
And the lady from the provinces, who dresses like a dyke,
And who doesn’t think she has to pay, would rather ride her bike!
And that singular anomaly, the wife of the novelist
I don’t think she’d be missed, I’m sure she’d not be missed!
[CHORUS]
He’s got her on the list, he’s got her on the list;
And I don’t think she’ll be missed, I’m sure she’ll not be missed!
And that harried Harman, who just now is rather rife,
The equal opportunist, I’ve got her on the list!
And don’t forget the Moron, with claims to a private life
They’d none of ‘em be missed, they’d none of ‘em be missed!
And apologetic statesmen, all of them such a pain,
Such as Gorbals Mick and Mandy, the Hoon and Hain,
And the Balls-Coopers too and also You-know-who
The task of filling up the blanks I’d rather leave to you.
But it really doesn’t matter whom you put upon the list,
For they’d none of ‘em be missed, they’d none of ‘em be missed!
[CHORUS]
You may put ‘em on the list, you may put ‘em on the list;
And they’ll none of ‘em be missed, they’ll none of ‘em be missed!
It was reported today that 3 Met detectives have been arrested on suspicion of Fradulent expense claims. Oh the irony !!!
Quite right BUT………….. one rule for the little people but another rule for the ones supposedly directing us…………. Corruption big time.
I pointed out above Hazel Blears in 4′ 10″.
Seat 1 F says: ‘Often wondered about the Gruniad. Its the only UK paper I know regularly given away free by airlines.’
Odd, the only ones I’ve been given are the Mail and the Times, never the Guardian. On the New Statesman – it lost its way under Wilson’s government in the 1960s and never found it again. It was hammered by the ‘underground’press (the equivalent of today’s bloggers), didn’t know how to cope with Thatcherism or Blairism. In fact, it’s been an irrelevance since 1966.
Net Jets won’t have it on the plane.

Nigeria has the world’s biggest Guiness brewery! Yes, Nigeria.
And Dulux used to supply the paint for Nigerian police helmets.
When Nigeria changed from driving on the left to driving on the right, to ct down on accidents the commercial vehicles changed over on the first day and priate vehicles changed over on the second day. Talk aboit a car crash.
Rondabouts are called keeplefties, but they might aswell be called keeplefties, keeprighties or keepdrivingstraight over for all the difference it makes.

Just noticed Gove’s hand position!!……….classic.
Any relation to Baiter?
Same page – Mr Opik’s jaw appears to have become unhinged. Perhaps the fees office would sanction the purchase of a lighter lantern?
Opik’s the only bloke I’ve ever seen who could point the finger with his chin. I’ve heard he opens his letters with it as well.
Yes…
Looks like he has just had a mouthful of ‘arpik…
Apart from that
He just looks mad
But that is par for the course for MPs nowadays…
Is Ming about to do a Reggie Perrin?
I read somewhere that he was being whispered as the next Speaker – once, of course, mp’s have found a way to despatch the current obnoxious incumbent off to the Tower.
In that case let’s hope he keeps his clothes on.
Not ANOTHER fuckin’Jimmy as Speaker!
what, run a shop selling rubish. I think he’s already done that.
Ming and Broon are mates!
SO, if you lot of Poncy Morris dancers elect him as speaker, all you will get will be a continuation of martin-eg another liebour in drag!
As a Scot, I KNOW this will happen!
Martin will stay and the motion will only shore up his position when he wins
Maaan. You might be grooovin on the right vibe, dude but that would be a heavy bummer for us mere mortals. If they keep that bad karma-inducing, purple, dough-stealing, sub-titles required, foreign, bread-headed, gas-bag of a hoon on, then I might have to drop this vintage 88 E that I’ve been hoarding, man.
We used to call the establishment ‘straights’, but I’m dribbling into my mushroom tea at that particular irony.
I’m glad I can’t remember much. Peace.

Have we elected a bunch of looneys to run us ?
Hiya honey
No , we’re stuck with the sociopaths . The loonies are waitin in the wings .
Vote Looney – you know it makes sense .
E x .
If we voted Monster Raving Loony party we’d probably end up with a government making sensible laws.
It was Screaming Lord Sutch that got seat belts in the back of cars to be compulsory.
Too right Alieneighty !
I think Lord Sutch died of sheer disillusionment . He was a genuinely clever and thoroughly nice person .
I despair for the future but I watch ….
E x .
Sutch also got the voting age lowered to 18?
Calm down, dear. It’s only a car crash government.
I have lost my horse in all this mess…
I’m afraid John Pressssscott’s eaten it, your majesty.
He was posting earlier today on another thread. Made a lot of sense. Good choice of senator, there.
anyone catch that car crash of an interview on BBC news 24 with two mps wives on expenses? Is Austin mitchell’s wife retarded? I paraphrase ‘we claimed for a bottle of gin, bottle of whiskey, three bottles of wine and a bottle of branston pickle” the press dared to ask questions she scweeemmmmed!! Really? You see no wrong there linda?, you ugly freak? Really?
Is she part spastic? And, isn’t she someone Prescott, i hear, groped at a party somewhere in the vacinity of the Palace of Theiving Fucking Scum Whores?
Of corse Oi did…
I used to grope it all…nice ass that one… Mrs who ?
That’s why they are bonkers as well now
Oh these wives…
They should know their place like in a good working class family…
No wonder she needs to get sozzled. Oh, the awful memories. And pickle for the munchies later. Pickle-breath would deter anyone. (Except, actually, thinking about it… Prezzer).
I think the arrogant Labour bitch was pissed and Prescott must have been when he groped her.
I would be pissed if I was married to Austin Mitchell. Prezza is a silver-tongued lothario by comparison.
I dont’have much time to look at the news..
Could someone keep count each days of how many serious car carashes there are please ?
2009 – 1997 = 12
12 x 365 = 4380
May 13 – May 2 = 11
11 + 4380 = 4391
Plus three leap days makes 4394, according to my abacus.
Ed Balls said yesterday that he is giving an extra £1million to RELATE because ” some familiies are under enormous strain” especially “when the main bread winner loses teir job or they are under threat of repossession.”
Ed for Chancellor!! and lovable Yvette for Home Secretary!!!. Oh Ed think what we can earn now – the sky’s the limit!!
Or ‘offices’in Pentonville perhaps…..
We can but hope!
RELATE..pah….Just like Victim Support…all window dressing but nothing in the shop…………………….

Big ones apparently!

Blears walks into the subsidised Commons bar and asked for 20 pints of Heineken.
20 pints later the bleary eyed Blears is asked why she wanted 20 pints of Heineken.
She slurred “I am the little piggy that goes we wee weee all the way home”.
If she can remember which one it is and where it is.
DT winding up for the biggies.
Balls looked sick at PMQs
Maybe that’s because Gordon just told him he was going to make him the Chancellor of the Exchequer after he has sacked Alastair – Poor Gordon …. think he’s just finding out that life’s an illusion ( or maybe that’s a delusion in his case)
Latest news: Ed Balls and Yvette Cooper to be in the Telegraph on Saturday. Eye-watering expense claims are promised!
Official from Telegraph website – the Worst is Yet To Come!! I’m wetting myself in anticipation.
Roll up roll up the fees office is waiting for your money,the 646 are having to give money back I bet that is hurting them I wonder if they will get a loan from the banks to help pay off the big ones
That’s OK Gordon has already laid in the rules for Northern Rock and RBS to make loans to MP’s easy and at low rates (at our expense of course)
the cash handed back by MPs gives Brown also a good excuse for an even longer recession
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5320564/Telegraphs-MPs-expenses-investigation-will-expose-most-serious-abuses-yet.html

Can you claim expenses on repaying expenses?????
Repaying expenses is “wholly, exclusively and necessarily” required for them to continue in their jobs, so yes.
Please please please let this be the end of the odious edwin bollox and his pet harpy….if there is any justice in this fukin world these two must do the perp walk.

One of those in the frame for tomorrow, having OVERcharged the taxpayer for his mortgage then decided to cover the difference by RE-submitting previous repaid expenditure! All within the rules?
Fabian Hamilton MP – see link in 383 above. Those naughty Telegraph people, they are teasing us!
Definitely some Tories in there – I reckon some not even mentioned yet. Wasn’t there someone with his “Second Home” on the Isle of Man at some point?
Cameron needs to take care. If he knew about his Mp’s scams he might be tainted. Brown is in the doo doo anyway, becuase he just wants to get some committee to review it.

Her isn’t a solicitor. His father was though, and his mother was a judge:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabian_Hamilton
He was a graphic artist, working for Apple in the 3 years before being elected. Now he’s a con artist and Labour MP.
His mother was no judge if she shit him out.
Solicitor? You mean ambulance chasing shyster surely?
Nope cant remember that being the case either. Anyone who makes a living out of sophistry is a lying hoon by profession.
My guess is that tomorrow DT feature will be
Mr and Mrs Balls
Mr and Mrs Winterton
Mr and Mrs Keen
Either Balls’or Wintertons would have tried to get the injunction. I would say it sounds like Nicholas Winterton. He is a Cons shit in Balls category. I hope I am wrong.
Sat we look forward to Hain and backbenchers.
Yeah, but Ann Winterton tells some great jokes though.
It’s becoming the glass of whisky and loaded gun time – along
with a hand written note alongside saying “Aw Fuck – I was rumbled”.
Phil Hope on Sky News looks like he has already reached this point.
Can’t imagine Peter Hain being involved in any of this scandal – he is so sincere, right-eous and true.
Does have to odd memory lapse tho!!!
Top Story from No.10 tonight ( 10 Downing St website) – PM has met with Pakistan President at Drowning Street to follow up discussions on ‘ fight against extremism’(No they are not talking about the actions of the speaker!)

“The mortgage claims were quite an accident. I didn’t realise I was claiming until the fees office pointed it out. It was an oversight on my part and I offered to pay it back I didn’t realise I had a brain and what are these things called thoughts? Oh look, the Good Year Blimp. Byeeee!”

Straight fraud:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5320852/Elliot-Morley-claimed-16000-for-mortgage-that-did-not-exist-MPs-expenses.html
Boot Monopoly piece: Go directly to jail. Do not pass GO. Do not collect £160,000.
Jolly nice of us to help Elliot start a property empire there.
I wish I had a bank account where it could go up by 800quid a month without me apparently even noticing.
As a former police officer I can say that on these facts along there is reasonable suspicion that Elliott Morley has obtained money by deception contrary to Section 17 of the Thaft Act 1968 – THIS NEEDS PROPERLY INVESTIGATING.
Not the 2009 MP Shafting Act, then?
Fire up the Quatro, get round to Morleys house !
No there isn’t and who are you calling a slag! I am the singing version of Hazel Blears and like Hazel I came on motorcycle….
Morley’s just been fingered for claiming 18k in mortgage interest. For a mortgage that DIDN’T EXIST
Apologies, 16k.
AND he was claiming mortgage payments on a London flat that he was renting out to another MP, so he was effectively being paid twice for the same property.
The DT is now progressing beyond instances of “fiddling” to good old theft. Surely there will be some prosecutions before too long?
In some societies this is known as “plunder” and for which there is the death penalty. But no doubt we’ll be lucky to get a few ungracious apologies and vague promises of repaytment.
Who else has been fingered tonight?
is that any worse than a cleaner who didnt exist ?
I believe the cleaner existed. I don’t believe they cleaned Brown’s property however. Or at least not in the proportions claimed by Brown. How does a property that’s not being used get dirtier than a property that’s being used regularly? Makes no sense.
We would like to distance ourselves from this thieving nonce.
The Fabians are the root cause of the problem, middle class up-bringing + rebelling against mummy and daddy = Champagne Socialism
Evening Standard circulation , in a city of about 9 million , is around 250,000 per day.
a bit less that you Guido.
and they redesigned the paper this week and its still utter shite.
John Maples claimed that the RAC Club in Pall Mall was his main home, second home in constituency lavishly refurbished at taxpayers’expense…
From the DT
…John Maples, the deputy chairman of the Conservative Party, declared that a room in his private members’ club in Pall Mall, London, was his main home. This allowed him to spend money on his family’s Oxfordshire home…
Pure class.
Shit, I never really thought I was common. But.
Is that a bit like living over your favourite pub? brill.
He’s getting paxoed right now, and has pointed out that it was for three months after selling his main res in London, and moving into his new one. He put it in writing to the fees office and was okayed. Paxo at his most pompous “Where did you spend Christmas?” Maples: Abroad. Paxo completely thrown!
Paxman acting like a hoon. His attitude is so transparent “you’re a Tory so I’m going to have a go at you even if you’re in the right”
Bet it was somewhere exclusive in the Caribbean as well
Do you know I see stuff like that and I have to admit I just laugh. Sheer fucking class.
Measured against the second home secretary et al it doesn’t really seem such a big deal to me. It struck me that paxo was flogging a dead horse and was desperate to make something out of nothing.
There was I last week asking what bribes thing gang would give to Manchester if they took up ID cards,well I don’t know but Manchester are getting 1 billion pounds for it’s transport infrastructure,the same one they were promised if they said yes to road pricing.
DT:
John Maples, the deputy chairman of the Conservative Party, declared that a room in his private members’ club in Pall Mall, London, was his main home. This allowed him to spend money on his family’s Oxfordshire home.
Stephen Crabb, a Conservative MP, claimed his “main home” was a room in a flat rented by another MP, after buying a new house for his family in Wales and claiming £9,300 in stamp duty. He had previously “flipped” his second home to the family house from another London flat that was sold for a profit after more than £8,000 in taxpayer-funded refurbishments.
Looks like Maples and Crabb took lessons from Jacqboots
These people are crooks! Using non-family members addresses to claim expenses is fraudulent and the best Home Secretary ever, Jacqui Smith, will deal with them as they deserve to be dealt with. All hail Jacqui Smith the best home secretary ever!
If the Yard won’t move on these people then I’m getting ready to do a few citizen’s arrests. Balls in handcuffs? Sounds like an S&M scene.
Arrest for an “indictable offence” under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984.
• Arrest of persons committing, or about to commit a Breach of the Peace under common law.
• Use of reasonable force to prevent crime or arrest offenders or persons unlawfully at large under the Criminal Law Act 1967.
“You’re allowed to restrain them and you’re allowed to use reasonable force, but the word “reasonable” is something that’s used in British law in an awful lot of different statutes and it always causes problems because you have to look at what’s reasonable in those circumstances.”
Unfortunately Hazel Blears cannot be done under the 1967 act. The common law one lloks weak so I would go with the 1984 one.
Bring back the Hue and Cry!
Thanks you legal beagle

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5320852/Elliot-Morley-claimed-16000-for-mortgage-that-did-not-exist-MPs-expenses.html
Elliot Morley claimed £16,000 for mortgage that did not exist: MPs’expenses
He also flipped and claimed for a flat in London which was being let out to another MP.
Did I just hear what I think I heard – Nick Robinson saying that Labour MP’s expenses are “moving into a stage of grief ” and that MP’s believe ” Michael Martin will have to go …”
This is NOT Labour’s finest hour.
Toenails has emerged from his hole, so that his legs are showing up as far as his knees! Can’t remember being this excited since the Berlin Wall came down.
Yup… Martin goes, who’s next? One James Gordon Brown and/or a general election. There is a God.
Even Betty Boothroyd is laying into New Labour now.
Oh bring back Betty Boothroyd as speaker – lovely lady
Can some one please explain to me why the cops have done fuck all about the likes of this Nu Lab Hoon:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5320852/Elliot-Morley-claimed-16000-for-mortgage-that-did-not-exist-MPs-expenses.html
If the details of the allegations are correct, this is fraud pure and simple, bang to rights.
The cops aren’t worth shit in terms of law and order these days. Too busy collecting speeding fines.
Sorry fanny I don’t speak a word of fuckin Belgian.
I don’t think theres a GCSE in that one.

“Nous avons troughe comme des cochons ilya plusiers ans a Westminster. Alors,nous sommes deux candidats ideals pour assister a la grande bouffe de Bruxelles.”
We have troughed like pigs for many years at Westminster. Thus we are two ideal candidates to attend the blowout-troughing-greedy-euro-swine-fest in Brussels.
15,000? I am surprised it is that much! Also, wasn’t it the New Statesman which carried an advert along these lines some years ago? “To receive absolutely nothing by return, please send £xx to Box XXXX”.
Incidentally o/t but of some interest
Council Tax cap announced
Looks like Elliot Morley is totally fucked.
If that one doesn’t end in court none of them will.
Yes just on Newsnight – spoiler with DT front page. Also McGorbal’s position “precarious” and “vulnerable”. “Crisis in Parliament”

My betting that’s all tonight. And there’ll be worse in the paper tomorrow. Just have to wait and see if Guido gets a heads up of what’s going in there.
I expect they’ll wait until the dying seconds of Newsnight for the next revelation – can’t give the competition the chance to get their spoilers out.
Well, judging by Newsnight, the BBC seems to have decided that little blue piggy John Maples claiming for staying at his club while his castle was being fitted with new cannons (or something) is worse than big, fat, red piggy Elliot Morley defrauded us of 16 large for a non-existent mortgage. Fraud squad, anyone?
Maples to Paxman: “Is it because I is blue? Oink”.
http://denverthen.blogspot.com/2009/05/surprise-surprise-mp-doesnt-resign-over.html
Dunno about the rest of you but I’m starting to suffer sleaze fatigue.
The DT should wrap this up now – Iain dale seems to think the big story of “theywhocannotbenamed” will be tomorrow.
In the mean time :
unemployment is up by nearly 250,000 and Brown gets off scot free
manufacturing is flat on its back – and the big unions still fund Labour
and the national debt keeps ballooning and nobody grills Darling or Cooper.
The DT has been a catalyst for change now it needs to give us all a breather so we can assess the carnage and actually make the changes.
Very much agreed. Its time for DT to piss or get off the pot. Time for plod to move. Time for the UK to hit the reset button.
We have got to sort this out for good. The continual drip will become detrimental to this very *soon* if it goes on. Most observers are now becoming very tired. DT please note!
Noted, but my hands are tied. I’m fucked, as are the normal people, but we’ve got so much of this shit. Gotta spin it out.
Mrs. DT Editor: I love you and she didn’t swallow. See you in a couple of weeks. Kissy kissy.
Agreed the Telegaffe are like one of those TV series which start of with a really cracking opening episode but gardually deteriorates till you are left with the second series of Ashes to Ashes.
No No No!!!
This is like the Ring Cycle at Bayreuth – not Britain’s got Talent.
It starts of with a few dwarves – but we are building up to Gotterdamerungen – all hell breaks loose – bints throwing themselves on McBroons funeral pyre – Blair’s Valkyries plummetting to Earth. Jacqboots getting her comeuppance.
The opera’s not over till the fat lady swings.
I suspect you are French because of this excellent analysis Fanny…
Like my wife !!
Hazel Blears is one dwarf too many
just read kevin mcgiure (seen elsewhere)its all maggies fault
me mam gave me a penny i spent it and wanted more so i stole it , its er fault
Sorry off piste, but I’d like to be in Barnsley where you can smoke in a pub.
I was reading Hannan’s latest post on his blog and he and he finishes with:
“Even we Tories don’t want the party of Keir Hardie and Ernie Bevin to disappear entirely. Listen to Polly Toynbee. It’s too late to avoid demolition; but you might yet avoid extinction if, at this late hour, you find the courage to change your leader”
Her’e the news Daniel. This is not the party of Kier Hardy or Ernie Bevan, New Labour is a marketing exercise in control and the party of Bliar, Brown, Campbell and Mandleson. They took the corpse of the Labour Party and created Frankinstein’s monster. As for Pollysocks I think she owes all the misguided readers of the Gruniad an apology for misleading them these past 2 years being Brown’s no 1 groupie.
Extremely well put Sir
Right on…
Is she on suicide watch? I doubt it.
Yoynbee is on suicide watch but they’ve had to shift the Hubble telegraphs orbit and point it not into space but into Tuscany.
No. She doesn’t sunbathe topless. But her maid does.
Bliar,
Brown,
Campbell
There is some significance in the above names but I have not worked it out yet.
Like
Mandeslon
Mendelson
Levy
Funny…
Brawl? Climbable Porn.
Bevan killed more people than Blair did, and they were (mostly) all British since he created the National Death Service.
He thought it would be more efficient! Scrap the NHS before it kills you.
looks like telegragh has run out of ammo
what planet are you on?
I dont think so , perhaps run out of spears , getting round to modern gattling technology .
An analysis on Morley. The Telegraph reckon his is the clearest abuse of any MP outed so far by the Telegraph.
The facts:
1. Has a house in SHuhnehorpe (a crime in itself). Meanwhile he designates a house in London as his main residence, despite the fact that it’s actually being rented out to another MP.
2. His mortgage is paid up, but he continues to claim mortgage interest payments for 18 MONTHS after paying it off.
3. As soon as the fees office demand to say mortgage statements he “flips” houses and starts claiming the mortgage interest on his London residence. This is despite the fact it’s still being let to another MP.
4. He only comes clean about the whole thing when in March 2008 the fees office notice that 2 MPs were actually claiming for the same property.
1. How can you claim to be living in your main residence when someone else is actually living there? Or is there some other reason? How many bedrooms does it have? Or were they secretly cohabiting?
2. The day you pay off a mortgage isn’t something you forget. So how the fuck do you forget to stop claiming the interest on it for 18 MONTHS?
3. A bit convenient that he flipped homes just in time to not have to show the fees office the mortgage statement for his home in SHuhnehorpe. But to claim the mortgage interest on his London home when he’s being paid rent for letting it to another MP puts the icing on the cake.
4. The fees office found out about the double dipping on the London premises in March 2008. Why was this not reported to the Commons? And more importantly why didn’t they demand to see the mortgage statement for the previous home at that time when it was clear he’s a thieving hoon?
See, even Guido’s blog doesn’t like SHuhnehorpe
The Daily Telegraph, taking the c**t out of Sc**thorpe – assuming he resigns that is..
Like Straw perhaps he is “not very good at accountancy”. I’m sure he’ll say sorry and maybe pay some of it back so we can all “move on” and deal with the real issues that concern hard-working families.
He’s refused to say how much he’s paid back, but he insists he’s offered to pay it back. What’s the betting he only made that offer when he saw everyone else starting to pay back the money.
2 weeks ago.
Lets see, what happened 2 weeks ago? Oh yeah, DT announced they had copies of all the uncensored expenses and were going to publish. Hardly the act of someone who made a “mistake” in his claims.
Time for Plod to pay this hoon a visit and take his DNA. If Plod turns up at the Commons to do so I’m sure the Mr Speaker and his pals will them in.
Anyway, enough of the small fry. What’s the deal with Balls – Cooper and the DT? We all know they’re in the Premier League as far expenses go.
Molly Eliott, Labour MP claimed for mortgage payments for 18 months AFTER loans had been repaid. Former Agricultural ‘we don’t want to know anything about rural communities’minister’is considered to be one of the worst offenders in the current expenses scandal. Where is balls??
Ah Morley…one of the many shitehawks to have royally screwed over our fishermen. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer person!
This HAS to go to a criminal prosecution. I see the BBC is ploughing the ‘it’s a mistake, he’s paid it back’(has he?) line.
What’s the chances on a spate of bye-elections in the coming months?
And what is better…this is only Thursday’s revelations. What have the DT got in store for Friday, Saturday and Sunday?
Savour these days…it’s Christmas come early.
guido, this thread is a mess. wake up and start another or we may call on you to resign
I blame the system
system the blame I
Like the Daily Mirror, I blame Thatcher. Without all that north-sea oil, the internet would never have taken off.
It’s a shame – I used to buy both the NS and the Speccie each week, when I had more money than I do now! NS was good in the wake of the Iraq War. Speccie is better now than it was then.
The pathetic Campbell edition was the nadir.
Does anyone really think that NuLabour are really worried about all the fuss about expense? Most of them are resigned to losing their seats. The public are left with the view that the MPs just want to shove as much money into their pockets before they go.
The only thing that really worries them is that they may end up in jail for fraud. Make no mistake, from what the papers say, when they sign for their expenses they are committing perjury and fraudulently obtaining public funds.
Leaving parliament with your integrity seemingly intact is important: it is hard to make a fortune doing after dinner speaking of the audience wants you dead.
Sack everyone who has abused the system – A thief caught redhanded doesn’t get off because he gave the goodies back – I want each and every one who took the piss big time sacked, this time sorry won’t work.
Working for your country should be a privilege and an honour, maybe we need an apprentice system before you are allowed to become an MP. I for one could do a better job, but that is because I would do it for THE COUNTRY and it’s people and not for the greedy self that has become the only part of being an MP.
Troughing fookers.
http://denverthen.blogspot.com/2009/05/surprise-surprise-mp-doesnt-resign-over.html
Someone call the bloody police.
As Jimmy Cricket says: “There’s more!” Well, there will be tomorrow. Meanwhile here is the latest
Nice ‘n’sleazy does it! The Wednesday Evening Expensesgate update
Paxman being a complete hoon on Newsnight.
John Maples actually has a very good argument regarding his “club house”. Paxman is coming across as someone who just wants to make a Tory feel small. John Maples clearly stated that he never claimed the room in his club as his main residence, he was actually in the process of moving into his new main residence.
His attack is completely off target. The question for Maples is not the fact he has his constituency house designated as his 2nd home, it’s what has he actually spent the allowance on.
Totally agree, alien.
Completely agree. He’s on Sky now (I’m abroad and cant get the beeb). To me he’s in the clear, he is going so far as to suggest he had been libelled by the telegraph.
He says he stayed at the RAC for a month as he had to move out of his first home in London but his new house wan’t ready yet, he mentioned this to the fees office that he didn’t have a first ‘home’but paid for the RAC room from his own money.
Morely and Hamilton on the other hand, they’re fucked!
Yup. They are the real piggies. And they must be made to squeal.
Agreed. Maples temporarily staying at the RAC club while his accommodation is being repaired may be ‘interesting’but is neither sleaze nor an abuse. Yet the BBC seems desperate to play up or equate any Tory transaction and downplay the Labour ones.
Maples came across well on Newsnight.
1. Very noble to submit to Paxo-ing in the first place
2. Had a fair case on that particular point, and kept to it – giving straightforward answers
3. Wrongfooted Paxo over where he spent Christmas – hilarious
Many people are left with the feeling that they cannot do anything about the expenses shambles. There is no way to vent their anger.
Well how about picking a day Parliament is sitting and the entire country stays at home? Call it what you like; strike, holiday, sickie, working from home, doing the garden, watching TV etc. Just let the MPs walk the empty streets of Britain and know that they are spurned by the very people they claim to represent.
Joe you were a poet and a seer:
White riot – I wanna riot

On tv tonight :

Mr Brownlove = Frankie Howerd
Ms Harridan = Joan Sims
Lord Manhandler = Kenneth Williams
Jacqui Smith = Hattie Jacques
Mr Miniblair = Charles Hawtrey
Young Cameron = Jim Dale
Mr Truscott = Bernard Cribbins
Mr Balls = Jack ” wahey” Douglas
Douglas Numptie = Stanley Baxter

Angela Eagle?
Gorbals Mick
Prescot obviously !
Great minds . I put my name to it tho’
E x .
LOL !
Prescott ?? Wha ha ha .
E x .
Go away, pea-brain.
I’m laughing at my own comment. I must be pissed.
Best of health to you all.
Dave’s awaiting moderation coz he said p*oof .
Strange world , ain’t it ???
E x .
Prescott should be played by Bernard Bresslaw he always played someone big and thick.
There isn’t any regular member of the Carry on Crew suitable to play Ed Balls – I suggest we draft in the actor who played Piers Fletcher Dervish in the New Statesman. They bear a remarkable resemblance to each other both physically and in their toadying oiliness.
Prunella Scales (in full Sybil Fawlty mode) should play Harridan Harpie
Ed Balls has moved today to ensure that a leading London head teacher has been suspended after he received £200,000 bonus payments for “hard work and excellent results”.
Obviously Ed does not like other professionals being awarded more expenses than him.
what do you mean other “professionals”?
Can someone tell me how does one ‘mistakenly’claim thousands of pounds for a mortgage you DON’T have
Hmmm. That’s a tricky one. You could just act dumb, sumbit the claim and see if the expense wallah signs it off.
When he/she questions it, have a hissy fit until they stamp it. Troughers.
Funny how he suddenly “remembered” he’d overclaimed 2 weeks ago. In no way shape or form do I believe he made a mistake. He knew full well that what he was claiming was fraud.
Yes, certainly. You play your ‘Jackass Straw’ card.
‘Accountancy is not my strongest suit’, smile superciliously and carry on troughing.
Just try telling that to HMRC. Or to the Benefits Agency.
Or, in Elliot’s case to the Judge ( hopefully).
Lights and mirrors my dear boy…simple…
They are all pupils of that great fraud Tony Blair and that Great Circus Artiste Mandelfraud….who are responsible for the collapse of our economy BTW along with the little punk in Drioowning Street…
Tomorrow balls ? yes please!! (Sorry – have to go to bed –see gordon not a hard word to say!)
I’d like to stay and see what happens tonight- but shreddy knitters have to get their beauty sleep – good night, sleep tight.
I, I do, do hope so! I hope there’ll be something juicy for my morning update!

WTF!?!?!
The BBC running an ad for the BNP?
Just showed what a low quality bunch they are – how they had the neck not to mention their racial platform is beyond me. Going for the thick as pigshit demographic, I guess.

MCNULTY CRITICISING WHEN HE IS UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR FRAUD HIMSELF
GIVE ME A BREAK
THE GUY HAS NO SHAME AND MUST BE AS MAD AS HIS BOSS…
The snake has begun to eat its own tail.
Labour’s burning…
I may hazard that Elliot Morley may ‘resign’by the weekend after mistakenly claiming for a non existent mortgage. To the fookin tune of SIXTEEN grand.
Totally OT but:
Murderers of the man who’s body parts were found scattered across England sent to jail.
Chillingly 3 generations of the same family involved in the murder. Finally at long last all the Kray brothers have proven themselves to be psychotic killers.
Sentenced, Charlie Kray, brother of the infamous Kray twins. Norman Jones, Charlie Kray’s son in law. And finally, Joseph Jones, Charlie Kray’s grandson.
I remember Charlie Kray used to come down to the town I lived in and was rumoured to be interested in buying a nightclub there. Not surprising considering the club was infamous for the number of guns and knives that got past security. Mind, the security there was infamous for being mainly made of ex cons.
Grim.
Ha ha. Charlie – nice guy. Used to drink ginger beer shandies. Is he still alive? Who cares? What a poof.
Must motor. My eggs are hatching.
Would the nightclub have been designated his second home ??
You’re lucky that I can be bothered, mate. The Krays were all screaming p*oofters and took it up the arse better than anyone. They were tight with money, humourless, probably Jewish, no dress-sense, cowards and I wish them nothing but grief. Oh, they’re all dead. Nice.
Any Kray ©unt, still living, you are dead fucking meat. Bye bye.
What’re all those comments with no numbers down there? Are they lost?
We’re just floaters.
The unspeakable Speaker:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/may/13/speaker-michael-martin-mps-expenses
He needs to be sacked, not allowed to retire on his own terms
At least the sharks are circling:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1180229/Time-Gorbals-As-calls-axe-Speaker-grow-respected-Betty-Boothroyd-joins-critics.html
Three plots to depose him at least, more Labour voices breaking cover
Five more to be revealed in the DT’s “Worst of all” list. I hope they will be better than the four so far revealed, or do I hear the sound of the barrel being scraped? Maples is a missed target, Crabb and Hamilton are grubby non-entities and Elliott, whilst he may have been reckless, well it’s like shooting your pet rabbit whilst he’s in his hutch. No satisfaction, no sport. I want to see revenge on some real villains – you know who I mean.
That fat Huhne Martin is still blocking FOI requests.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/may/13/speaker-michael-martin-mps-expenses
“Heather Brooke, who led the campaign to release information about MPs’expenses, tells the Guardian today that the Speaker is resorting to a little-known procedure, known as the “grenade clause”, to block further requests for information about the work of MPs.”
Betty Boothroid now calling for him to go
No, but he’s designating HMP Dartmoor as his primary residence for the next 30 years.
Oh dear, it never stops:
“A former minister has admitted he claimed £16,000 on expenses for a mortgage that had been paid off.
Labour MP Elliot Morley told the BBC he had repaid the money and it had been a mistake which he felt terrible about.”
I bet he felt terrible. Right after the details were published. Jesus.

Well said and correct.
See ya later.
Just look at Georgia Gould and Emily Benn who have put in long hours of training to be MPs. These young women are an example to us all and if we had more women like this in Parliament it would be a better place.
Sorry, didn’t see this before I posted.

Two ‘Ts’in quattro you slaag.
I see Guido’s back from the pub
Of course
We need some blood..
The British People are OUTRAGED by all of this…
It took 300 years to create a Parliament which we thought functioned correctly (with all the imperfections we knew).
But now we have a Parliament which practices the very abuses it was established to stop..
300 YEARS OF DEMOCRACY OUT OF THE WINDOW
THANKS TO BLAIR, BROWN, MANDELSON AND THEIR COHORTS OF BARBARIANS…
THE BARBARIANS ARE NOT AT THE DOOR
THEY OCCUPY THE POSISTIONS OF POWER AND NO LONGER HAVE ANY LEGITIMACY
There is no power higher than the power of the People when their representatives betray the trust ioof the People
The People should arise now…
And demand Justice…
Everyone is affected by this
THESE BARARIANS HAVE RUINED THE COUNTRY FINANCIALLY FOR EVER
AND ARE WALKING AWAY WITH MILLIONS
PEOPLE OF BRITAIN ARISE AND SHOW YOUR PRIDE AND DECENCY
IT IS NOT TOO LATE..
BLAIR BROWN AND MANDELSON
GIVE YOUR PERSONAL MILLIONS BACK TO THE PEOPLE OF BRITAIN YOU HAVE FRAUDED
NOW
Interesting point on the BBC:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/thereporters/robertpeston/2009/05/mps_tax_muddle.html
The reason so many MPs are repaying expenses could be because the details are out and the Inland Revenue might be knocking on the door for their 40% cut.

We have to feckin’force them if they won’t go quietly!
So Speaker Gorbals Martin is using ghe “grenade clause” of the FOI Act to gag further disclosures..
It’s Heather Brooke who states this and she is highly credible as we all know
Lord Falconer (Tony’s Crony and former Lord Chancellor for Christ’s sake) who piloted the POI Act thru Parliament says
“”I never envisaged this clause being used in this way”
The Speaker is acting alone and unconstituionally
He MUST BE IMPEACHED NOW…
OMG !!
Too technical , honey .
Can’t we just agree that it doesn’t do wot it says on the tin an get rid of the fat fuck ????
I’m soooo impatient .
E x .
missed kelvin mckensie tonight , he was on with kate hoey , does look like Mr speaker should consider his position , when Lady boothroyd chips in labour wanting to flush the stables in the hope of saving there sorry ass and having some political narrtive to re cycle in the future .
caesars wife has had enough of labour rubbish . jock communist party has sent country to the bottom of ocean , listening to Mervyn King he outlined it is do able to get out of this , but the future is not certain , it is also possible that once this low interest period is over , then interest rates will have to control inflation , so why the worry about inflation ?? sterling is weak as it has to service national debt and the real econmy is still contracting , oil is purchased in dollars and barrel price is steadily rising , so anything made from oil will have a price rise and be purchased with weak currency exchange rate .
thanks Gordon !! whilst his banking cure recieved some applause , he should now cut government spending , not cutting it is creating a risk that we will be stuck in avery long cycle of low ecnomic activity coupled with debt servicing ie a starving real economy . This teaspoons to bail out the Titanic approach is nearly as bad as turbo charging personal debt at full steam with lite touch steering in the FSAs bridge , before he hit the debt iceberg , i say ice berg as most of debt was hidden and we struck it along the length of the economy . So as captn gord has taken us full steam ahead, ignoring the warnings of debt ice bergs , to be the first to reach , the revolutionary harbour of wonk socialism , all i can say is he had better not put on ladies clothing and try and get in one of the few life boats .
Perhaps when history looks back at this sorry malevolent childrens tea party disguised as goverment , someone will realise , you will always need to trade in ways you can understand , dont create and import a client benefit state , dont make a culture of children that lose all ability to be parents for the sake of total political control , dont rig the countries prime debating chamber to becomming an impotent purveyor of inquiries and hand law making to an unelected off shore ,lobby infested council of socialist party affilaites , doubt that the civil society requires its morailty to be held within the person and not outsourced to a computer program , also run and progammed by an unelected council of socialists.
Labour has betrayed this country (again) , it has lied about its true costs and used mind bending third way proganda to make us think it works .
as the cheap labour marketing/proganda drugs wear off and the country faces a economic de tox of immense proportions , remeber that they lied , they decieved made what you think unimportant so that could whield more state power and state authority .Labour is a sham and a hoax i can apprecite it is desperately trying to transform itself into something you could vote for , but it has to have a big bonfire and is so far meddling only with , tin foil home barbecue.
we are in a right old mess , ask darling if hes going to have to adjust his figures for borrowing ??? seems as though genius gordon has no idea how it will work ?? that should tell you a lot
Oh my God, that is like so gross! How could anyone place such an offensive concept in the public domain? Just imagine her minoras and majoras weeping slightly into her female leathers, with each bump along a rutted track, oversized charity cheque gripped between her grinning teeth.
Elliot Morley MP:
Voted moderately against a transparent Parliament.
Voted strongly for introducing ID cards.
Voted very strongly for the Iraq war.
Voted very strongly against an investigation into the Iraq war.
Voted very strongly for equal gay rights.
Morley is Honorary Vice President of the Association of Drainage Authorities ffs!
When they dump him it will be like a sewage farm disowning a turd!
Nothing on Ed Balls or the other couples………… which is a surprise.
…. if I had to guess, the husband and wife teams have followed a double injunction strategy:
1. Send out an injunction in the husbands name – fight it (knowing the Telegraph’s story relies on talking about both husband and wife)
2. If the first injunction fails – then send out a second injunction in the wifes name and continue fighting the Telegraph hoping to drag it out and sink the story.
Surely the Balls-Coopers thing is about ‘quantum’regardless of whether the total level of expenses claimed for was within the rules. Injunction or no injunction, it looks as though the DT is looking for others to do the dirty on the Balls’, which takes the gloss off that paper’s revelations.
I must have missed it, but did the cheeky bastards actually take out an injuctions, or is it just the very very sick minds of you posters
So Eliott Morley claimed for a mortgage that didn’t exist and then flipped his expenses to a home he was renting out to another MP. His excuse ‘genuine mistake. – Defence – I did inform the Chief Whip’s office of my error’— ermm when? – just last week. Wonder if that will stand up in court? Morning folks.
Morning All !!!
I’ve just read the totally unbiased piece of journalism by that brainless twat Maguire. What it made me realise was that Margaret Thatcher is to blame for everything, mp’s being thieves, the fact that it’s raining today in the North West and anything else you can think of.
Wasn’t she also to blame for bringing this country into some sort of fiscal balance, where we avoided spending what we hadn’t got. I seem to remember the Tories passing a pretty reasonable economic position onto Labour. Hasn’t taken them long to fuck it up.
Maguire you and the other halfwits that write for that comic you call a newspaper arn’t fit to lick the shite off Margaret Thatchers shoes so fuck off and crawl back under the stone you and the Liebor party came out from.
What has happened to Tessa Jowell’s husband David Mills? Is it true that he has just received a four year prison sentence ????? Could someone please find out and report back ?????
