This is fantastic………………..its like watching a car crash in slow mo……….
The quicker the better though
Tyburn is about rirght
Likely suspended for 6 months… it would be a lot more fantastic (and just) if they were to lose their Peerages (is that the word?). Scum.
Suspension is the maximum sanction you can give a peer

Oh. Boo – that doesn’t seem tight… but thank you for saying!
Is Archer still not officially still in the Lords? If they can’t expel someone jailed for perjury then these guys are not getting expelled either!
That’s one (or two) for Guido, methinks.
And the army is up in arms over this too (as well they might be).
Let me get this straight… you take a bung to rig the law and you get suspended for 6 months… and then what? Welcome back to the House Partay! (on ex’s no doubt).
On lunchtime interpretation of events (or BBC News, as it is known) there was an inappropriately forgetful Conservative couple, a distraught Labout ex-Cabinet Minister as well, but two Lords a rigging don’t even get fired on the spot????! Or the odd comment gets made on that odd discrepancy?
Mind you, on the Steve Wright Show it has just been mentioned someone bought Kevin Spacey a Lordship, so the exchange of cash in this arena is certainly thriving.
These days you know anyone with the salutation, ‘Lord’ is filth from the lowest sewer on Earth.
These ‘Lords’ are evil vile dirty thieving corrupt trash with no honour, no humanity, no intelligence, no decency and no good in their black hearts.
Lords should be burned like rubbish.
house of cards are falling all round our great leader
if i remember rightly in the cash for questions didnt someone go to jail, cash for amendments is much more serious ?
Aitken went to prison for perjury, un-related to his parliamentary fiddles.
cheers mitch was a while ago had some trouble with pedlos since
Is P-E-D-A-L-O, freddie. That’s twice in 2 days.
Maybe better to stick to sherry before lunch?
had the sherry before breakfast on the cafferys already
Thst’s Caffrey’s, Freddie…
Freddie with your spelling in mind I hope no one lets you near an expense form you might “mistakenly” claim for a mortage you dont have
Exciting times.
Cheers for the plug, mate.
No problem, I’ve got fucking hundreds of them…
This is better than going to the pictures.
Next please.
Oh sweet joy!
suspended from a lampost by the neck hopefully……
Suspended by the bollocks for a few hours would perhaps help them reflect on their short comings.
After that, there would only ever be very short comings
They don’t have any Balls – he’s on tomorrow
Christ alive – I can’t keep up – we’ve had about 30 years of scandal in 6 days.
Getting rsi on me refresh finger.
If I get Physio for it can I claim it back from HMRC?
Even the BBC “Breaking News” banner on the TV was smoking just now – they will have to invent a “You Won’t Believe THIS One Breaking News” banner……..
…and only for 6 months
Hardly enough time to allow the carcass to fully rot
When is a politician going to stand up and call for Parliament to be dissolved. It is the only possible way that this national disaster can be settled. The only way.
I totally agree. This Rotten Parliament has run it’s course and has nowhere left to run except to the polls when the true verdict on each and every one of them will sound loud and clear.
I’ll go along with that.
i reckon with should convine the court of public opion
Bill, yes we will kick them out and the biggest sucmbags will slime over to their masters in the EU for more troughing at our expense. We can vote this shower of shit out but not the real shower of shit running the show the EU. UKIP at the Euro elections!
I have already taken steps to prevent further breaches of the public trust. As we approach further elections I have taken the advice of my consigliari, Mr Edward “Corleone” Balls, to suspend Parliament and assume the role of Dear Leader. Since I got us all into this expenses mess I am of course the only one who can get us out of it.
(PS, all your Nokia are belong to us)
What a fecking day, today is turning out to be!
Are they gonna be suspended from the nearest lampost in Paliament Square?
Have we really got to put up with another year of these fuckin Hoons?
Resign now and call an election
In the name of God Go!
But I can stay, can’t I, Ollie?
OT
Now we know why Micheal Martin, supported by Gordon Brown, smeared then sacked Elizabeth Filkins after she tried to clean up MPs expenses.
She was sacked deliberately so Martin and the rest of the thieving scum could rob the taxpayer without hindrance.
Apparently even Betty Boothroyd complained about her, which I thought was quite surprising.
And the fiddles in those days were MUCH MUCH worse.
Wot about Snape?
Snape’s the master magician at Hogwarts, so what do you expect?
Guido,
Give us the coveritlive widget you use during PMQs. This is a BIG news day…. let us chat with other co-conspirators….
Forget the expenses scandal, Telegraph is reporting – Kajagoogoo reunite for UK tour!
That’s a scandal in itself
Just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse.
… Mrs Dale likes Kajagoogoo, apparently…
BTW Whatever happened to swineflu?
It was only a week ago that we were all going to die from it!
No, it only affects pigs, and it seems to be culling them by the styload
Don’t laugh, here in Dubai they have banned all pork imports because of swine flu -obviously no local pork here for religious reasons so a bacon sandwich now costs about a tenner.
No-one in the food agency here can be convinced that it’s really nothing to do with unclean pigs!
Apparently it will reappear in the autumn and infect a third of us. Yeah right.
nah that only applies for those who survive the current HoC mucking out
Still waiting for the leaflet.
I think Gordon is globally fucked
Is it his left or right globe?
Given the parttime nature of Parliament, this is a slap on the wrist. Their breech is VERY serious, they should be permanently banned from the Lords and defrocked.
Ohhhh, I will defrock those naughty boys anytime.
Mandy, I thought you were too busy servicing Russian Billionaires to read this stuff.
Good news. But sadly, they’ll only be suspended until the end of current parliamentary session.
That is the harshest penalty that the Lords can invoke. What a bad joke!
Baroness Uddin to be stripped of her Baronetcy? I sure fucking hope so.
It wouldn’t do her much good in Bangleadangalaland where she will no doubt bolt to.
As a good socialist she will surely love it is allahland – after all they treat women so well there. Fucking hypocritical bitch. Get the stones ready boys you’ve got a real porker to belt coming your way!
no she’s ethnic , special exemption…. (Blair – Clause 455 of Liebour Procedures Act – Stuffing the Lords Bill 2002)
Baroness Undid. Make it so!
It’s much better than the pictures cos at last the sanctimonious twats are getting their comeuppance – How dare they lecture us on how to live our lives – from now on if wanna screw the exchequer I will
Well he’s even screwing himself (Stamp Duty etc)
Whi will be next to “resign”?
+++ Lord Truscott and Lord Taylor To Be Suspended +++
From where?
By what?
What with?
They trousered money to bend legilation in the favour of those who paid the bride. Corruption of the highest order at the centre of Parliament.
One of these legislative changes was to allow a US based credit checking agency easier access to personal information about UK citizens.
The treacherous, greedy old sod should be suspended by the neck.
how high
About lamp post hight!
BBC 5 Live mentions Tory Mackay – but forget to state that the two Leaping Lords are both Labourites
Haven’t had more fun since the Jeremy Thorpe trial.
Justice for Rinka!
Rinka was a patsy. It will all come out one day.
Excuse me. Up on Dartmoor she looked enormous. She jumped up in excitement because she thought we were going for a walk.
I am cynophobic and thought that I was about to be attacked by a man-eating donkey. I pulled the trigger in panic. She never stood a chance.
Norman Scott then had hysterics and tried mouth-to-mouth on the brute, the mincing mentalist.
The punk band, Rex Barker and the Ricochets subsequently released a song in honour of the episode, “Jeremy is innocent”. It consisted of the refrain “Jeremy, Jeremy” punctuated by samples of gunfire and a barking dog.
It started in ….. Parliament!!!
Were these Lords, Labour or Tories? You would never know from listening to the BBC, though they make sure to let us know that Mackay is a Tory.
Same old BBC. Cameron must sort them out as soon as he gets in.
yep start with their expenses which we pay for via the license fee
How many issues of the Guardian are delivered to the Beeb every day? Isn’t the Guardian the in-house newsletter?
An end to the BBC. Full stop.
Guido, why do we have to put up with these fucking videos that start every time we reload the page.
Agreed there’er a poxy nuisance & if they don’t stop I’m gonna vent my spleen eleswhere
Fourthed
Count me in
waste of bandwidth and processor
Especially the fucking EU whores Libertas.
have a full refund and stuff off.
use firefox & adblock+
..But the BBC, having removed the article about Labour MP Morley from poll position and replaced it with one on Tory MP MacKay, has slipped in this new revelation about Labour peers underneath, without ever hitting the “hotspot”. Funny that.
Nothing funny about the BBC
Off topic but eeyore on Douglas Carswell’s blog gives us a history lesson on the history of the speaker resignations.
“last Speaker to be pushed out was Sir John Trevor, in 1695. “His sordid rapacity had excited general aversion,” says Macaulay (plus ca change). He suffered the unique humiliation of having to put, from the Chair, the motion that he was guilty of high crimes and misdemeanours. There was a deafening cry of Aye. He called for the Noes. Not a voice was heard. Trevor then left the House and, pleading illness, never returned. King William was persuaded to permit a successor to be appointed.”
Sordid rapacity has excited general aversion – brilliant!
Spot on – gorgeous
he likes the max
Additional Costs Allowance £23,083 (joint 1st) 2007/8
Brilliant scene and this will be a repeat I don’t mind paying my licence fee to watch (or can I claim THAT too?)
Can’t wait for the ol’ tub o’lard to have to stand up and put to the House:
“The motion is that the House has no confidence in me and I am unfit to hold office”
Should be fun to watch!
I’m sordid, rapacious and out of here.
BBC NEXT FOI PROJECT ??
BBC News interview MacKay…not a leg to stand on. Make way in the holding jail for this new inmate. Prison bitch name: Butt Slammer
AH (C)
Just saw it – the BBC guy CRUCIFIED MacKay totally and absolutely,saying that he and his wife had milked the system to get every £ possible.
Judging by the man’s demeanour,I predict he will resign as an MP by the end of the week.
These are the big ones coming out now,strap yourselves in – the big fireworks are about to be ignited in the next 24 hours.

This is really good news.
A bigger slice of the “cash for legislation” cake for me!!!!!!
From the Grauniad:
Truscott compared his treatment by the subcommittee investigating him to the treatment people received in “Stalin’s Russian”.
They don’t like it up’em
Truscott of course has more reason to know about that treatment than most – he has a Russian wife who is the daughter of a former KGB colonel
But he has no bullet hole in the back of his head
He soon will have
Yet…
Vaz gone quiet…

Probably preparing to sell his story to the highest bidder
Being left wing I’ve always thought that BBC bias was a Tory invention & whilst that may have been true once upon time I have say now it’s not – The BBC are now a pale imitation of what they used to be – apparently they don’t realize that like MP’s they are bringing the BBC into disrepute & giving those who want to destroy them loads of ammunition to fulfil their dreams – I strongly suspect that when the Tories get in at the GE there will be a cull of BBC management who have allowed this to happen & people like me who used to defend it can’t because of what is now an appaling & very public bias
It’s very sad, since it’s the only comprehensive radio news service. There was a Hoonette from the upper ranks of the BBC on the media show yesterday, defending the appointment of a Muslim to be head of religious programmes (about which I don’t care a sh it as it’s all fiction) by saying that Toenails’ personal politics are irrelevant to his ability to be impartial as their political editor. It’s absurd to think that someone who is a paid up party member and close personal friends with the troughers is capable of a balanced view.
Cameron needs to force a serious clear out there – the institutional metropolitan “decent” bias that runs through the organisation will ensure that he doesn’t swing too far the other way.
doesn’t truscott have a lenin goatie?
Do you have an equivalent of the US RICO statutes in Britain? The gist is that some organizations, say the Sicilian Mafia, create provably thick racketeering networks and in some circumstances it is possible to indict a person for membership while knowing what the organization was up to. Your entire parliament is a fucking criminal conspiracy! They executed a coordinated plan to defraud the public. They are the first gangsters in history who could have changed the law itself but preferred as if with some atavistic politician gene to steal. Mark Twain was wrong when he said “There is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress.” We have finally found this bastard’s father!
It’s the Mother of all Parliaments
Sounds like a quote from Saddam, that – mind you they’ve been getting nearly as totalitarian.
Perhaps it should be known as the Parliament of Thieves
Now it’s the Mother Fucker of Parliaments
Suppose that you are an idiot.
Now suppose that you are a member of Congress.
Ah, but I repeat myself.
Interesting comment from the US, where “Campaign Contributions” can be used to “pursuade” any legislators to vote for, amend and propose whatever legislation the contributing individuals or companies desire…
Not if I get my way it won’t,,,,
Ha Harrrr Me Hearties – Cap’n Flint on DP from Nottingham(?)
Looks like it’s not slept for a few days and has been twatted by both Klitschkos. Warms my old ticker – fagsnatching bugger.
Wonder if Udders was there at the announcement? Or did she pop in and have another “urgent meeting”.
She needs exposing
Financially obviously, not physically.
Oh dear, I feel a bit ill
she’s in hiding behind her carter -fuc*k screen
Sin’s nude board
Funny. listening to BBC RADIO 5 it appears only TORIES are up to no good.
Don’t worry – Balls will be kicked round tomorrow
MPs and now Peers -
I was enjoying the slow righting of appalling wrongs – but I have just hit a wall of depression – is this what we bequeath our children?
No this cannot stand: we must completely sweep clean both houses
and the BBC
Guido,
Just noticed at the bottom of the Belfast Blogger piece on ‘Seen Elsewhere’ that amongst other winners were
‘…Paul Staines who blogs as Guido Fawkes.’
Congrats
ME
What is it about Blackburn that seems to affect politicians?
Perhaps like one of those East London tower blocks that get demolished – LIVE on Sky.
Can I press the plunger?
Milibrain apologises but won’t be paying anything back.
I think the Tories will sacrifice MacKay on the “MP couples both claiming 2nd home allowances” charge today so that when Balls expenses are revealed,he will then have to go too or Brown will face a revolution.
Bingo – end of Balls
It’s all building up to a big expose’ of Balls and Cooper in tomorrow’s Telegraph. I hear that this will be the biggest yet.
So Brown will get the Balls out? I thought that was Mandelsons thing? And speaking of which anyone else noticed how rent a twat has been missing as well lately? Perhaps Mandelson doesn’t want to be reminded about his own trousering?
Guido – what’s Mandelson up to?
Suspended?
Good. I’ll get my rope.
David Miliband apologises and admits he did wrong but aroggantly says he won’t be paying anything back. What a greedy arrogant piece of shit.
Where are the two biggest crooks of the lot: Hoon and Darling?
Did you forget The Gruesome Twosome, Cooper/Balls?
Can we start of House of Lords allowances and expense claims next please, starting with Baroness Udruddin. The Lord Foulkes. I am sure there are others.
Irons bad nudes.
I guess Richard Timney likes them flat.
Suspended? The thieving pigs should be prosecuted for corruption.
What’s the latest Test score?
Eng 180-1
Suspended by what? I’ve run out of piano wire on the trousering twats in the Commons.
Lay off the speaker we want him in the chair until the end of New F—— Labour in Gord,s bunker with the rest of the bastards.
Abolish BBC tax and all state funding of television.
What’s a’goin on here? ,/b> – all sorts of errors on first two items – can read this though
Should have added -
‘Server encountered unexpected error . . . ‘ or some such
Abolish the BBC tax and all state funding of television. Better still, completely scrap the revolting Brownite/Blairite Brainwashing Conspiracy (BBC).
The only time the Brownite/Blairite Brainwashing Conspiracy ever even tried to oppose the government was when the government was not being sufficiently left wing for them.
Aye, yon skinny hussy st’l roils’ ma’!

Nuthin’s ma’ fult ye min’ ‘n Guido’s lot want me to stay
[TRANSLATION :
I am stilled unbelievably roiled and upset by that slim young woman who wears that red scarf, and dared to ask me a question!!
How dare she!!!
If she were anything to do with me, I would have brought her up properly, and taught her to respect her betters.
And I've a good mind to teach her some discipline now I can tell you!
Anyway, I'm comforted that Guido's bloggers want me to stay. That's right isn't it?
And, just like the other crook who fancies Himself as Leader, nothing's my fault. ]
Alas not by a rope.
SIC TRANSIT STERCUS MUNDI
Can’t wait for the Balls/Cooper expose soon.
A bit off topic but I’ve just had a thought.
Shit’s brown and Brown’s shit. Has a certain ring to it don’t you think.Campaign slogan?
Hello
Remember me?
What do you mean, No??
I’m busy putting up the scaffolding around my bunker. I don’t want it to cave in, so to speak, because people, hard working men, women and children could get hurt, and I don’t want that to happen.
They’re making a fuss about all these expenses but I’m busy making sure the country has a future by dealing with all of the problems caused by the economic downturn.
I’ve been to Ilkeston in Derbyshire today as well. Quick drive up the motorway. Popped into the service station and bought a bag of crisps, charged them to expenses because it was in work time.
I’m getting to like this blogging thing now. I’ve done YouTube, and now this, I’m really getting up to speed. Would you like to contribute to my blog? I’ll read all of your comments, promise.
Lord Truscott has just defended himself on Radio 4 (circa 17.25). Well worth listening to. The man is convinced he has done nothing wrong!
Lord Truscott not only denied he had done anything wrong, he was in bullish mode, and alleged he had been scapegoated and set up by the media. He found the question ‘have you no shame’ (Eddie Mair) provocative and became very angry, saying that the fault lay in the rules, not him.
Another one who just doesn’t get it, does he?
Do you think that Politicians will one day “get” that the banking industry also followed the Rules and indeed in their case had Compliance Officers that not only knew and understood the Rules, but ensured they were complied with! Guess who wrote the Rules? That’s right the Politicians (acting for the final words though the FSA).
They are Peers of the Realm. What they have done is treasonable. Therefore it’s to the Tower and off with their heads!
At least hereditary peers have a sense of duty not like these troughers.
Truscott pasted on air!
Has anybody got the time the interview went out on PM on Radio 4?
If not this programme, how about the link?
Approx 17.25
And Rennard? Getting away with 40K? Disgusting.
Guido why no more on this? Is it just too lengthy to write?
