Where’s Julie?
Dale has put up a defence of Julie Kirkbride. It falls down unless we are to believe she knew nothing of her husband’s financial arrangements. It would help if she came out and defended herself.
Guido does not believe she was unaware that they were as a couple over-claiming and milking the system. In the light of Ed and Yvette Balls being spotlighted over their claims they should have known this was an issue. Ed and Yvette had the sense to claim considerably less than Andrew and Julie. The fact is the double-claiming had been remarked upon previously with no satisfactory response from the pair.
UPDATE : According to Cameron Julie Kirkbride should meet he constituents and explain her position:
“She does have some questions to answer as many MPs have questions to answer… The best thing to do, and I have said this to all my MPs, is to get out to their constituents, hold meetings, talk to them, listen to them, explain what they have done – and hold their hands up if they have done something wrong…”
first
Twat.
Seconded.
Richard Needham said she was an old cow and he wishes she would resign.
Mwahahahaha
Do NOT feed this troll.

No he hasn’t. That fuckwit can take a running jump. Over to you Old Nick
Special place reserved for that bastard!
The first thought upon reading that was of Alberto y Lost Trios Paranoias’ wonderful ‘Jesus Wept’.
“…..until that fateful evenin’ friends, when I was returnin’ home from th’ Upstairs Gang Suck, Fuck Dope Den, when a voice from the sky yelled……THIS…….IS JEHOVAH….over…!”
Almost Goldsmithian Dolly.
There were two ‘mes’: one getting wrapped up in all that rubbish and another trying to be a therapist.
Aha! The old Schizo Defence.
Anyone who says “totally brilliant” to some shite delivered by their boss or client is a supreme brown noser of the first fucking water.
Oh Christ how fuckin obvious the charlatan turns to God. I can see him as a TV Evangelist I really can.
Just seen Julie on Sky. What a deluded, haven’t done anything wrong statement she made. These lot just don’t get it do they. This expense thing is the straw that broke the camels back. Are we not sick of this Punch and Judy show while we are taxed till we squeak. Deflection and abrogation of responsibility for the economy. No body still made the connection to the War have they? This Gov has knicked all our money and spent it on non commercial activity. Lets employ a few more Social workers so that we can have a public enquiry every time the fuck up
The Kirkbride statement is outrageous and will not be beloeved by anyone. The facts are:
1 the brother has lived at no cost for 12 years (not 5) in publicly funded housing.
2 the brother has enjoyed quality shopping at taxpayers expense for 12 years.
3. the sister has been paid for `executive secretarial work` for 12 years in a salary range of £10,000 – £20,000 – no-one in the constituency has heard of her
4 the expenses fraud with the husband dates back 12 years not 4.
5 the lateness of the statement beggers belief, if it was genuine why was it not made before now.
6 Kirkbride`s full expenses need to be examined VERY closely.
The whole thing is a disgracedul pack of lies which fools no-one. Kirkbride should not only resign she should be prosecuted.
Cameron has just said that Kirkbride has given a good account of herself.
What judgement! How can what she has done possibly be justified. This will all drag into the elction campaign if he gets his way. Does he not realise that in Bromsgrove its not just about expenses, its also about Personality Kirkbride and what this scheming woman is all about. Is there more to this than we know? It beggers belief!
Sir Peter Viggers is currently staying in his £1M Mansion in Burgandy after returning from a £59,000 trip to the US last week to discuss the recession
I kid you not
Nice work if you can get it!
Poor Iain Dale. He sure knows how to pick em don’t he ?
First Madine Dotty Now Piggy Kirkbride.
Beware Conservative MP’s.
If Dale rushes to your defence then you are truly fucked.
Course it may only be those women MP’s who he wants to sit on his face.
But best not to chance disaster antway male MP’s and steer well clear.
Jonahing is people is my job and I am very capable at it.
I am not sure it’s fanny he wants on his upper lip….
This support for Kirkbride is incredible. What`s it all about? Just look at the scale of opposition in Bromsgrove, more than in any other consituency. This is a clear-cut case of fraud, how can it be defended?
Oh, Dolly! You are such a scream!
The old poof should be sacked now, along with all the even bigger crooks in Brown’s cabinet.
You talking about me?
Rather like Gerald Kaufman and his £ 8,500 TV and £ 2,000 Persian carpet…
They don’t give a shit about democracy or the people they “represent”…
Just carry on as if nothing had happened…
That must be one hell of a television.
Some of the young men who visit him like to watch it, he rarely bothers.
It’s one of those fancy Swedish TVs like Jacquiboots husband has got, with a windscreen wiper and a drip tray.
Perfect for a little “me time”.
Hey watch it Jimdee. Don’t start on us midgets or I will bite your kneecaps off.
Um, actually with the recession and everything I suppose what you are suggesting is in fact a job creation scheme for midgets.
In which case thanks Jimdee, nice one!
Don’t forget my request for an £ 18,000 book case !!

If these lot really did have to run the economy can you imagine how bankrupt we would be. Comment 2001
We are bankrupt. Financially, socially, morally and ethically.

She knows that she has done wrong. Enough said.
Why Dave supports her, I know not why…
Perhaps part of a behind the scenes agreement, hubby walks if wifey stays?
Surely not! Our MPs are honest and upright. Sorry, that should read, warm and upright.
She will have to go. The longer he holds back the greater the damage. I really don’t want to see this current crop sneak back in as result of lack of resolve on Dave’s part, or through some fluke of split voting. With enraged people firing their votes of in all directions only to end up with the worst possible result. Could anyone stomach the sight of Gordo being driven to the palace to be asked to form a government? The stuff of nightmares.
The reaction could be a swing to Lib Dems in safe Tory seats at the General Election. The split opposition vote will put NuLabour back in power. Can you imagine the look on Brown’s face when he realises he’s done and won! Go on think about it!
Poor Queen, fancy having to let that raving old poof kiss your hand. It was bad enough with Edward Heath, but at least he used to wash.
Yes. And didn’t chomp on his own mucus…
Indeed Nightmare,
And postal votes may just do the other 50% of the trick for the prime budget deficit runner.
Luckily I will not have to pay taxes to clean the mess. I do know already I will vote labour because I’m on means-tested benefits after pissing all the money away drinking, smoking, gamblinjg and attending footy matches.
Ah, got you there. I’m not in the UK anymore. Not a benefit scrounger. Just relaxed at whatever the outcome of the election may be. Although labour back in power would be a nice new opportunity to short sterling/gilts.
My wholehearted agreement.
This bunch of wankers have to go AT ALL COSTS. Whilst I don’t think Julie is any better or worse than the others, on all sides, she simply can’t be allowed to detract from the issue of paramount importance – getting rid of the New Labour shit.
Sorry Julie, I’d slip you a crippler, but the fact is – you have to go.
Financial misconduct = Conservatives
It’s the commercial
Prehaps she has done an Edwina Currie on him.
There must be some blackmail going on here
Otherwise Cameron’s and Dale’s “support” quite inexplicable…
yep, let’s get a rumour started, that Cameron’s bike was stolen twice outside everyone’s bride london residence
Dale must like Oranges too.
I think it was a ripe satsuma.
Its a can of worms. Every politician shitting themselves to pull one in case more pops out. The old Bill also shitting themselves as they didn’t get any where with the Cash for Questions through high level blocking tactics. I mean not in the Public interest, that we are At it mate. Phew some one has dropped one almighty bollock with all this getting out eh/ Well done the judiciary the last bastion of the rule of Law thank the Lord something still works around here. Shame all judges don’t have the same moral code.
The trouble with Cameron is that, despite being a PR man, he is always just behind the Curve…
Boris Johnon and William Hague have a better feel for politics and public opinion…
Perhaps it’s because her slimy bastard of a husband knows where a few of the Tory bodies are buried.
Yes, but Cameron is a fool. Kirkbride will come back to haunt him.
Its a good question, Why?
As HIGNFY pointed out last week, she put the phone down on her local radio station back in 2007 when questioned about her personal arrangements.
The chance she didn’t know what was going on – zero, nada, 0, nothing…
Dave, please withdraw the whip from her, she is the worst Tory thus far in this whole sorry mess.
Of course she knew what was going on but then again so did virtually every MP. Under the theory that you resign if you knew what was going on we would be left with a couple of dozen MPs who must have walked about with their head in the clouds.
Brown’s home improvements and property flipping have probably cost the taxpayer more than MacKay & Kilbride combined. Why are the media chasing her but not Brown or that Labour couple, not Balls, the other one. Has any Labour politician fallen on their sword?
Fingers crossed there might be a couple this afternoon
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5392860/MPs-expenses-Labour-MPs-go-before-star-chamber.html
This “star chamber” is a joke.
They will throw a couple of people under the bus to “show” they mean business and then clear the rest. This will then be reported on the BBC as Smith, Brown, Balls take your pick as having been cleared of any wrong doing.
Albeeb will then return to obscure Tories charging for an extra paper clip.
Headed up by King Rat Keith Vaz? Not a snowball’s chance in Hell.
“Star Chamber”
Is that Gordons glitter-walled toilet?
“The star chamber was meeting for the first time today, with the three-strong panel of senior NEC members — Cath Speight, Ann Black and Sir Jeremy Beecham — beginning deliberations over the first MPs referred for consideration over their expenses.”
Three NEC members? That sounds fair enough!
Alan & Ann Keen were claiming for a £350000 mortgage on their London home and £170000 for a mortgage on their Bedford home. This is pretty similar to what MacKay/Kilbride were doing. Why is no one chasing them around the country with pitchforks?
Why are two similar cases being teated so differently? The Tories get hammered, Labour politician carry on as if nothing has happened. Brown will do nothing to them because the media have not placed the spotlight on them.
Totally agree.I thought their other home was in BRENTFORD,a hop a skip and a jump from Westminster.Like Dawn Dreadlocks,that is a scandal, having TWO homes in London.Why are we only concentrating on the Tories?? The Keens have made shedloads of money.It seems the meeeja are only concentrating on the Tories, WHY?
Don’t get tied up with the Punch and Judy show. I mean Labour Liberal Tory Cac. That is a deflection tactic to stop you discussing how we have lost our democracy to a bunch of non elected Whitehall mandarins that treat these so called defenders of the masses like a bunch of twats.
Once again the headlines on BBC News after a quick mention of Labour MPs it’s on to Julie Kirkbride.
Why are there no petitions in Labour areas? Presumably because either only Tory voters have any standards or because the media are playing down all the Labour scandals.
The Keens are unknown to virtually everyone in the country while Julie Kirkbride has become one of our most infamous MPs overnight yet they have both done similar things.
Only Tory voters have any standards
cinq! Bravo a moi!
What language is that then?
Tis the language of fine wine. great cheese and tree-lined boulevards so the Germans could march in the shade. Any wiser?
And the General Staff learnt German to be able to “discuss” matters after the Germans had used the tree-lined boulevards…
I think he’s that monk with the hunchback in The Name of the Rose.

Sorry guys, I thought I was being funny but I clearly hadn’t scrolled down far enough.
Yes, I am a dick.
Leave me alone thick as thieves.
Siktir git, hoon.
Currently being well roasted on R4. If Cameroon gave her a cliff to hang onto, the BBC is stamping on her fingers. And no mention of the the new law suit against Five Bellies.
Where are all the Labour politicians? Why is it only Tories who are on the radio getting their ass kicked?
Just keep publishing that list of the top twenty troughers.
The Telegraph has done a great job in clearing leading lights of the Government from our airwaves. Where is Jacqui Smith, Tony McNulty, Ed Balls etc? I’m getting worried that we won’t see them again.
The Telegraph switched off their lights !
Quite a few more to “do” though…
Have Blinky Balls or Eva spoken in public recently ?
Their lights seem to fading fast as well…
I’d like to punch out their lights!!!
What amazes me when reviewing expenses related to Cabinet members is that the statement “THey’re all at it”, is basically true: The Cabinet: Who’s who of Thieves.
Looks like Alan Johnson and Ed Milliband are the only two MPs in the cabinet who are clean – obviously a shortlist of two for the next leader then!
Yes, if “clean” means you only claim around £130, 000 expenses every year on top of your ministerial salary of about £150,000.
How much do you think it costs to run an office?
Let us be careful not to throw the wheat out with the chaff.
And you 31 are definitley chaff.
In the case of Tory MP Phillip Hollobone it costs zero!
Let’s wait until we have all their expenses disclosed
We are still only about one quarter of the way through all of this theft…
One.
Any member of the milibananas clan is a gonner thanks to berk David’s fruity photo.
Goodbye milibananas both, come back when your bum fluff mutates to stubble.
If all these arses were disqualified from office, I think that would leave Timms next in line to the throne!
Prime Minister Timms. Last of the Mohoonans
Really disappointed that neither of the Millibollox brothers aren’t up to their necks in it. They have the sort of face just asking for a slap!
The problem is that ladymen like the miliband nancies have such slender necks.
Scrawny necks like that will snap straight away when they are dropped and there will be no tap dancing and jerking of the hanging body.
Indeed, their thin necks may well be ripped right off by strong, good quality English rope.
The hangings of these dogs will be no fun at all for the crowds who will barely be able to hear the traitors jelly like necks snap.
I will have to throw the corpses to the crowds to tear apart just to keep the mob happy.
‘The Cabinet…….’ site very interesting! The plot sickens.
Iain Dale is a fucking wanker! Why he defends stupid greedy Hoons is beyond me. He shows poor judgement like the Hoons who take taxpayer money!
That’s not very nice.
Nor is using taxpayer money for purposes it should not be! Dale defends – Dale gets slated!
Iain Dale couldn’t find the bollocks on a bull.
Wanna’ bet?
Shouldnt that be Iain Dale behind the behind of a bullock!!!
hopefully if he gets selected to stand as a potential MP, voters in the constituency will let him know what they think of his apologist actions.
dicks
She is hiding in the Pig Stye.
Dave has thrown her to the wolves.
Cameron: Kirkbride should meet constituents
‘It falls down unless we are to believe she knew nothing of her husband’s financial arrangements.’
This is the ‘Jowell defence’. It worked for her, though she did have to pretend to dump Mills as well. So come on Julie, time to get rid of the ugly fucker.
That nice David Mills worked for the equally nice Silvio Berlusconi whereas Kirkbride worked for The Telegraph, which is not The Grainuda, and that David Cameron who is not working class.
Worst excuse EVER
Guido
You’ve photoshopped the snouts but forgot the wings as in “pigs might fly”.
New nothing my arse!
In contrast with CGT, there is nothing that stops spouses nominating different second homes for the purpose of ACA. Julie Kirkbride cannot therefore be culpably ignorant of her husband’s property transactions in the same sense that, say, Tessa Jowell was.
They were within the rules. It goes without saying that they should be placed in the stocks but they were within the rules.
Not within the spirit of the rules nor within the letter of the rules of the Court of Public opinion.
June 5th is going to be pretty fucking interesting.
that`s Julie Kirkbride`s birthday
Now we know why Iain Dale has never been successful in his attempt to be a Conservative parliamentary candidate, and why he never will be.
He is a fucking nob end! Good job he is not in the commons, i dread to think what he would have claimed for! Very poor judgement indeed!
Iain Dale is a wanker
nah nah nah nah………
Dale is a drip. He’s more to the left than most Lib Dems.
Better get used to it. Dale is the future of Conservatism (for a while, anyway).
Nothing to explain here. So long as New Labour crooks Balls & Cooper remain the darling of New Labour, and so long as nothing happens to them over their frauds, then nothing should happen to the Tories either. One law for New Labour, one law for everyone else. Here, I’ve just given you my New Labour Masonic handshake, that should keep me out of trouble.
New Labour Mafia handshake more like…Especially North of the Border…!
I simply do not recognise that handshake.
Be fair
Tessa Jowell wasnt aware of her housing payment arrangements
Why should Julie have troubled her pretty little head either?
But Jowell was aware of it and so was Kirkbride. They’re both fucking liars.
Good job I am a truth teller who won a truth telling competition two towns over as then they could be fucking me!
Hey Guido
Let’s start on another few Labour thieves like Levine please…
Let’s have some perspective.
Tory troughers get hammered by the media while even bigger crooks in the Labour government go to ground and keep their heads down:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1187508/RICHARD-LITTLEJOHN-If-caught-stealing-work-wed-arrested-So-Alistair-Darling.html
I have to agree here. Yes Julie’s a bit of an idiot, and nowhere near the spirit of the rules, but as far as I can see she’s done nothing illegal.
Contrast her behaviour with that of Moron, Morley, Gibson, Hazel, Hoon, Hain, Darling, Whaqui etc, the first few of whom are definitely looking at a chat with Plod.
Are we now seeing BBC-style anti-Tory bias on the blogs too?
Iain Dale has gone a little far in his defences of a few idiots (Nadine) but I see a bit of a complaratively lame witchunt here for Julie.
To Dave, she still needs to go – I think her constituency party should see to that now though, as happened with hubby last week.
Steve said
“I have to agree here. Yes Julie’s a bit of an idiot, and nowhere near the spirit of the rules, but as far as I can see she’s done nothing illegal.”
Well you must be a criminally minded character then as well as an idiot.
Ever been inside?
You sound like you have Steve.
Don’t feed the troll…
Don’t feed the troll…
Oh, so you got banged up for being a football hooligan.
Watch your step Steve, keep your nose clean.
Don’t want to get in trouble again, now do you?
If Trougher Ms Kirkbride, (why do so of these MP bints use their husband’s names – is this the case for most married women today?) LIVED in her constituency she wouldn’t have to go there to face her constituents she would already be there!
Why can’t Dave or any other party leader insist that MPs LIVE in their constituencies and only STAY in London.
If I was re-writing the Rules I would require 5 years immediate prior residence in a constituency before you could stand for election.
Who agrees?
Er – I think you’ll find that she is not using her husband’s name.
5 years, some party associations don’t select their candidates till a year before a general election.
I agree in principal. However, some of us move around a lot. I don’t think it is fair to have any time requirement on previously living in the constituency. You should certainly already be living there to stand as an MP though and you should be required to live there for as long as you represent the area. If you move then resign and stand in the new constituency.
Can you imagine Shaun-I’ve-got-zillions Woodward living in St Helen’s. I don’t fink so..
He has an amusing terraced house there;such a divine change from his other 6 residences.
You beastly person.
Why did Gordon Brown claim thousands of pounds expenses for a London flat that he didn’t live in or use?
Isn’t that illegal?
Because he’s a moron…
So what!
Shut the fuck up and get back to talking about Julie Kirkbride!
Did someone say Julie Kirkbride MP (Con), notorious wife of Andrew MacKay MP (Con), and ex fiance of mandardin sucking auto eroticist Stephen Milligan MP (Con)?
Something to do with double dipping?
Kurr lass sick!
Let’s see Bromsgrove, next door to Redditch – might have been Richard Timney said it. Do you know him ?
teaching your granny to suck eggs or your husband to suck oranges.
in all the photographs of Kirkbride she is wearing the rope necklace given to her by Milligan. I don`t like oranges!
This is indeed a problem. The Tory troughers are being headlined whilst the New Labour troughers seem to be ‘walking on the other side’ to quote the infamous leader Brown. This is not acceptable but not surprising given a compliant media with its own agenda.
this was a response to 321
It is within the rules. Have I had my money back for that lightbulb by the way? No more risible an expense than a fucking bathplug iof you ask me. How can a lightbulb be ‘wholly’ for parliamentary duties? Was it the bulb that went in his ‘wholly’ for parliamentary duties room?
Every other room in the house being ‘just a little bit’ necessary for parliamentary duties?

It’s within the rules; anyway, accountability is not our strongest suit.

If you were innocent would you go and hide?

He has to sit in the garden with the french windows open to watch it.
They call it surround vision.
It’s a big box with real life midgets acting inside it.
And the weakness of Cameron is exposed for all to see.
If he cannot bring himself to take the strong action required when the evidence is overwhelming you have to ask questions about his judgemnent, leadership & actual personal strength & gravitas to be the PM.
It is absolutely no use Cameron just waiting to be crowned PM, he has to show the elctorate he is worthy.
Defending the little piggies who are close to him whilst withdrawing the whip from others shows an absolute double standard.
The sand underneath his platform of “Vote for me because I am not Gordon” is washing away – along with the support of dormant Tory voters like myself.
Will Her Majestys opposition please stand up?
Dissolve Parliament.
No10 E-Smear unit at it again?
I beg your pardon?
I am a dormant Tory voter increasingly underwhelmed by DC.
Ok?
you got this one right mrs righty right.
jono is a fucking moron.
it is becoming far too common in this place for tory and new labour trolls to go around accusing other people of being trolls.
a general election is looming and if that is the best strategy that the tory and labour HQs can come up with then we are definitley drifting towards a hung parliament.
and after all dave’s bleating he is going to look very silly indeed because he will end up being a prime minister of acoalition cabinet.
dodgy dave has got far too big for his boots and he will have to be brought down several notches.
a hung parliament will fuck dave real good.
good one, innit!
note to dave cameron: stick your constitutional reform up your arse you fraudster. the people will not take lectures from a thief like you.
stop claiming allowances that you do not need and that are unnecessary for you to do your duty. your allowance claims are extravagant and unnecessary.
pay your own way you millionare skinflint benefit cheat.
face it tories, cameron’s a total c’unt.
It is commendable that Iain Dale thinks to defend ANY person BUT, and it is a big but, Julie McBride cannot have been innocent in this affair.
She has “double dipped” into the ACA allowance claiming the maximum along with her husband. Logic would say that HALF the maximum is what was required as they were married and would only need one second home not two.
It is in the nature of what they did as a joint enterprise knowing the issue of ACA allowances was contentious… there is ample evidence to suggest that this issue bubbled along in Parliament for many a year and is acknowledged in official reports as an unsavoury practice.
She needs to explein how she was honest for any chance to allay public perception of troughingh from the public purse.
Ahem….Julie Kirkbride surely…..shum mishtake?
Well spotted…. must have had a ‘senior’ moment.
I thought she had you with a strapon!

Brown is a fithy dirty troughing bastard
That is really appalling. I was under the impression he was merely a war criminal, usurper, usurer, hypocrite, congenital liar, traitor, and racketeering gangster with a psychological problem. No point praying for his salvation then.
And he bites his nails.
That statement is also true if you replace the word ‘nails’ with ‘pillow’
…….and, he bites his nails.
Lets just start again and dissolve parliament……
A blogger on our site came up with this idea…..feel free to use it to get these parasites out and a general election asap.

Her Majesty The Queen,
Buckingham Palace,
London SW1A 1AA,
United Kingdom. (The date)
May it please Your Majesty,
As a loyal subject and citizen of the United Kingdom I ask Your Majesty to dissolve Parliament with immediate effect and prevent any sitting Member of Parliament from standing for election in any subsequent election.
Parliament has been compromised and corrupted by the greed and self interests of those that I have had a hand in electing to high office in this country. As a citizen, I have the right to expect that the elected political representatives perform their duties with the highest of morals, without self-interest and wholly for the benefit of the electorate and the Crown in return for an open and transparent remuneration.
As a citizen of the UK, I no longer have any confidence in the honesty or integrity of those elected representatives. I also believe that this may tarnish any dealings they have with dignitaries from other nations.
By generous convention you have allowed us the people to elect our MPs so that they may govern in Your Majesty’s name for the benefit of the people. They have signally failed in this responsibility and are now governing to the detriment of the country, the citizens and the crown.
I therefore respectfully again ask for the immediate dissolution of Parliament with the aim of a General Election to allow the people to elect completely new Parliamentarians.
This would send an extremely strong signal down through the ages to keep Mps focused on their true functions.
I have the honour to be, Madam, Your Majesty’s humble and obedient servant

I’m not going to defend any MP who has been troughing or looks as though they’ve been troughing but I am concerned by the lack of focus in the media coverage at the moment.
There are cabinet ministers holding a fair amount of executive authority who are still in office despite having driven a coach and horses through tax law and through the spirit of the House of Commons rules.
The Tory leadership has been much more open about expenses than Brown but surely the media should be going after cabinet members at least as stridently as they’re going after a Tory backbencher.
How can you tell an MP looks as though they’ve been troughing?
They’ve still got the slops around their mouth!
For cows it’s that scouring there round t’other end. For sheep like, it’s that big fat belly which is nowt but wind from scoffing so fast. Politicians, seeing as they be so fond of their beef and crown roasts, I’d say it would be a combination of both. Wouldn’t mind keepin a few myself for when I have to the muck-spreading and the tractor breaks down unexpected – tether them out in the field, and wait for them to explode.
The piranhas have scented blood and are having a feeding frenzy. Once they’ve devoured their current victim, they’ll look around for the next.
The Conservatives are being more open, so they are suffering most at present. This whole saga has a long way to run, and with Labour’s Star Chamber just starting it’s work, there’s not much blood yet on that side of the house. If Labour try any sort of cover-up or whitewash, public opinion is such that the media will turn their spotlight full on them.
I think you will find there is an active spin campaign to turn this sorry saga into a Tory Sleaze issue, hence the good old BBC is heavy on Tory expenditure but almost silent on real fraudulent corruption, such as claiming money for mortgages that dont exist ect, and dodging tax, which are mainly Labour. Unfortunatley the media is again showing how appallingly biased they can be, and lets all face up to this – These MPs have got away with this because the media has been arse lickin compliant.
They have’nt got away with it yet.
The media aren’t interested in anything other than keeping the ‘nasty party’ out of power for another generation.
The Labour spivs and crooks have ensured that the wheels of commerce at the upper end of the scale are well oiled.
Know what I mean??
Free the Syrup of Fig Two and the Fivebellies, er, One!
Just listened to World at One, surprisingly balanced coverage of MPs expenses scandal. Heavy on the Julie Kirkbride situation (constituency petition organiser didn’t sound too convincing) and intervieved Paul Kenny of the GMB union. He said he would be very surprised if fewer than 100 MPs across all parties did not have to stand down, including some cabinet members.
The opprobrium is universal across the political spectrum, it seems.
It seems? You sound 100% like a BBC hack. You’re next, after the troughing politicians.
No hack me. I was surprised at the degree of balance.
BALANCE!!!!
We DON’T DO BALANCE!!!!
Sack that man
Notice the news agenda is slowly being switched to follow “tory crooks” line. Why? Because the ZaNulab spinmeisters are quite happy to let Call Me Dull keep on feeding stories about his porkers while the labour crooks keep their heads down hoping the flak will be drawn away from them.
The BBC, of course, is delighted to pursue this line, and is doing so with the full vigour of a state broadcaster, as fairly and impartially as ever.
Agree.
Its right for Cons to lead the initiayive on a clean out but there ought to be more effort in making the point that Liebour swine trough on untouched despite cynical Star Chamber hearings and other procedural red herrings.
Any sightings of the lesser spotted Brown cabinet or were they forced into an unnatural habitant of The Bunker?
Brown, Hoon, Darling, Balls, Straw are hardly whiter than white, and so far they are clingining on to office. Isn’t it odd that no bricks have gone through their windows. But perhaps there ought to be FOI requests on Cabinet Income Tax returns, but then again they may only be shelved as works of fiction.
The President of the Unites States and Cabinet members have to publish their income tax returns
Why not the British Prime Minister and Cabinet members ????
Iain Dale makes a spirited defence of Julie Kirkbride on his blog but he has completely missed the point in all this and whilst I would commend his “gallantry” in defending Ms Kirkbride her situation has now gone too far and the only recourse now to salvage the Bromsgrove seat at the General Election for the Conservative Party(and let’s face it THAT is the crucial matter if we are to get rid of this disastrous Labour Government and to enable the country to be put on the route to economic recovery because certainly Brown & Co would be catastrophic for the country if they were elected for another 5 years)is for her to stand down at the next election and announce that now – to-day !
I agree that perhaps there are worse offenders than Julie Kirkbride(?) both within the Tory ranks and most certainly in Cabinet but Cameron needs to sanitize the Party and thereby show the electorate that unlike Brown he will not hesitate to bring pressure on his MPs to stand down at the next election.
A few days ago a commenter on this blog compared the present situation to the “Terror” in the French Revolution which whilst over-dramatic certainly is a neat analogy. The public’s desire for “blood” has not yet been assuaged sufficiently and like the “terror” innocent heads will roll with the guilty or guiltier I’m afraid. Nobody is listening to reason although a few calmer and saner heads in the mediaare starting to say enough is enough – having probably realised that the “witch-hunt has now gone too far and is in danger of de-stabilizing our democratic process and deflecting the energies of politicians from attempting to deal with the worst economic recession/depression for two generations
It is the country and Parliament’s mis-fortune to have at this time more than any other a man as partisan in his approach as our present Prime Minister who cannot comprehend the magnitude of the crisis and command the respect of the Commons and the Electorate(or dare I say even it appears his Cabinet) and further appreciate that the only way to draw the poison from this affair is for – firstly all MPs to face re-selection and then call an early General Election(certainly by September at the latest)whatever the expected outcome for his political career may be by that action
We’re only jealous because they’ve got big houses.
Actually, you’re right mate. I’ve always wanted to live in a big house. With a big door into the hallway. With a grand circular staircase down which Salma Hayek walks, slowly, with a-rumblings going on all over the place, every night before dinner…….
It is not the “witchhunt” which is “destabilising our democratic process”
The democratic process has been DESTROYED by these criminal Ministers and MPs
And democracy can only be restored when JUSTICE IS DONE AND SEEN TO BE DONE
Try and be logical please
It’s not the “witchhunt” that is destabilising our democratic process. The destabilisation occured when the politicians stopped acting in the best interests of the people they represent and started stealing from them instead.
We do not have a democratic system anymore and there is no faith in parliament. The system is gone and needs to be replaced with something that works. Pretending it’s actually all OK and people have just got a little bit hysterical is pointless.
For fcuk’s sake. When the Daily Mail calls for the “public execution” of politicians, you know damn well what they mean is to heckle, barrack, and maybe handbag them if you see them in Sainsbury’s on a Saturday. In some countries the present conditions might produce civil war, in others executions of a few as an example to encourage the others.
The wonderful beauty of this country remains, despite the attritions of zanu liebore’s 12 satanic years. Well before then we succeeded in transferring the literal to the metaphorical, without any loss of reality, and with significant gain in meaningfulness, and also in entertainment value.
I therefore do not hesitate to call for a General Erection now – the general erection of scaffolds, gibets, guillotines, bonfires, etc up and down the land. The troughers then have two choices. Either to recognize the synecdoche, or to find themselves mounted on said erections. The loss of sensual pleasure to the people in not seeing a troughing politician roast or dangle is compensated by the intellectual pleasure of watching them play out a failed game to the bitter end. The only condition is that Justice must be done.
IF JK faces constituents she will be quickly herded to the large wooden pole in Bromsgrove centre that is surrounded by timber and firewood, tied to it and set alight.
I think Cameron knows that… talk about saving himself the the task of pouring petrol over his naughty MPs.
Indeed, CCHQ did a deal with the husband, he goes and the wife will be spared.
But, she will never ever survive a public meeting. She’s done. DC is playing it smart.
I hope so.
I do not ask mr chevrolet how he affords our various agreeable residences because it is, quite simply, absolutely none of my business. It is his job as my husband to look after that sort of thing. I may be an mp but I know my duty as a wife. Besides, I am a female woman, so if spoken to severely I shall be forced to weep, faint and stay in bed feeling sorry for myself all weekend.
So gutless Dave leaves it to Kirkbride’s constituents to do his dirty work for him.
Delegation. Excellent management.
It’s not good management, I agree,
But its better than Labour principal of management which is
the MUSHROOM THEORY OF MANAGEMENT
“KEEP THEM IN THE DARK AND POUR SHIT ON THEM”…
Indeed.
I am increasingly disapointed in cameron.
“Vote for me I am not Gordon” seems to be his only strategy.
In the target rich environment he is in, Mcmental should be, by now, begging DC to take the job.
Yet he hardly lays a glove on McBust.
McBust is down, and not just down in the bunker. It is not reasonable to kick a man when he is in the process of spontaneously self-destructing. Who wants to be blamed for something that was no fault of theirs?
Thank you for your invitation for our Queen for June 6…
Even if Trash Gordon didn’t pass it on to her…
You are stuck in the groove, No10 E-Smear man/woman. Fuck off back to Labour HQ and prepare to be thrown out of office, wanker.
Troll,
I am a Tory, a dormant voting one.
Today you have posted just twice – just having a go at me for writing what i think & believe.
Now go and form some origianl thoughts or go and fcuk yourself.
I do not mind which.
And another thing, pray tell, when was it demanded that I be compliant & not speak my mind in the Tory party?
Now you can go, you are dismissed.
“Vote for me I am not Gordon” seems to be his only strategy.
…..He really doesn’t need another one, does he?
Julie must have something on Dave?
yes I agree, but its more likely to be MacKay.
It’s called democracy, Hoon.
Breaking News
Labour’s so-called Star Chamber has cleared Ian Gibson and he can stand again in the next election.
Next up is Margaret Moran.
When are Brown, Hoon, Darling, Purnell and the rest of the crooks in the cabinet going before the star chamber?
When? When the world grows honest.
Do we know who sits on Labour’s “Start Chamber” ?
It sounds like criminals judging criminals in some sinister farce…
Or just a whitwashing Chamber ??
More like a sewerage works, go in smelling of sh1t and come out smelling of roses, it wont work in the court of public opinion though.
You’re right, the constituencies will decide.
The minutes of this meeting would certainly make interesting reading.
Haven’t checked, but an earlier poster did say old vazaline was running it ! You can’t accuse labour of lacking a sense of irony can you .
Betty Boothroyd would have cut their goolies off – I mean OOORRRFFFFFF!!!!!
That’s good, it can now be made absolutely clear to everyone that he has done nothing wrong. No need to worry about holding a public meeting because he is clean as a whistle. Who said so? Why, Labour’s “star chamber” said so. Why are the media putting up with this farce?
When do the Keens appear? When does trougher Brown appear? Are these public hearings?
Tories are lynched in public, Labour MPs get the all clear in private. As Bill Clinton would say “give me a break.”
What did you expect?
Liebour on Liebour just equals twice the amount of Lie and Spin.
Star Chamber b*llocks
(a sinister name – overtones of Nazi Holocaust)
The test surely is – whether the electorate will clear her. I suspect the ‘court of public opinion’ will regard this as a bit of a whitewash.
Most of the electorate don’t even know people like Brown are amongst the biggest troughers of the lot because for some reason the media have decided to hide his troughing from them.
Star chamber, they call it. Now, would that be a 5-pointed star or 6-pointed? Which star do they have in mind if it’s a celestial one (do they know why that might make a difference)? Or do they mean star as in Posh and Becks? Or maybe they merely wish to be like Henry VIII, and think they can be, by merely aping him – like primitive sympathetic magic, so to speak?
I think it’s the sort that Dirty Harry would recommend using as a suppository.
It’s the one between yer arse cheeks.
“She does have some questions to answer as many MPs have questions to answer… The best thing to do, and I have said this to all my MPs, is to get out to their constituents, hold meetings, talk to them, listen to them, explain what they have done – and hold their hands up if they have done something wrong…”
Hardly constitutes resolute, dynamic & strong leadership does it?
He knows her constituents will fry her. He doesn’t have to do anything to help that process along.
Indeed – a very clever tactic. He’s not going to get tarred with the long knives brush by allowing pissed off constituents to do it for him.
Democracy in action. Remember yesterday Cameron talked about local power for local people – well that’s what he’s doing right now.
He just seems weak to me, not clever. There are times for allowing events to take their course & there are others where you must be seen to be leading.
Now is that time.
Where is Cameron? And anyone falling for his “power to the people” nonsense needs their credibility chip re-calibrating.
Dissolve Parliament.
Plato, get real. There is more to this than meets the eye. Cameron has made himself look stupid. Why does he think there is such a massive movement against her here in Bromsgrove, and the strongest opposition is from Conservatives. She is a clever actress who has taken Cameron in.
This gigantic fraud is clear cut and nobody in Bromsgrove will be fobbed off by cleverly rehearsed excuses. If Cameron has his way, this sordid business will be carried into the election campaign because it will not go away. You give an explanation for his behaviour but I am not convinced.
She is going down!
are you watching them mess up your petition over there on No 10 Drowning Street?
on me?!!!!
Kirkbrides toast, cameron screwed up defending her. dump the terrible ones and let the others fend for themselves. Sit back, watch and be ready to pick it up again when the dust settles, see whose left.
Instead he defendes Kirkbride, the press have a field day on the tories, as always, and cabinet ministers scamming are 5th in the news. Stupid, and a bad move. 0 out of ten for that dave, must try harder. You haven’t won it yet pal.
Understand this our dave, loyalty is rare these days, it’s good that you show loyalty, but to who. We are the business dave, us, the people on Britain’s creaking fucking streets, show us some fucking loyalty for a change, then if you win it, we will let you keep it
This changes things, all this nonsense, you politicians are going to find out who really runs Britain, and it isn’t you. So listen, when the public want someones head, fucking well give it to them. The public wouldn’t want it without good reason.
You are right
Since the Police and CPS refuse to do their duty
We the People will have to do it ourselves…
I bloody hope so!
I hope that Kirkbride is toast. The mass movement against her in Bromsgrove reflects the popular view of this malevalent scheming woman just as much as her blatant fraud and deceit. Cameron is stupid to back her and will regret it. This certainly changes my view of him. He will sink with Kirkbride.
Yeah, it changes things all right. Cameron has lost it.
If it has to fall to Guido and conhome to get JK out so be it. Keep up the good work Guido and keep going until all of those who stole money from the taxpayer are gone.
That’s fine get rid of her but give equal effort to getting rid of the Keens, McNulty (all but forgotten about now), Brown himself – for his expenses, I know he’s destroyed the country but I’m just talking about expenses here. If you don’t you are just doing Labour’s heavy lifting for them.
Kirkbride is the worst of the lot. Guido is right but what can we do when Cameron is so foolishly backing her?
i’m not fat, it is my glands
I’m back!
http://www.petrolprices.com/
you ain’t seen nothing yet!
So it seems. Cameron backing Kirkbride is incredible.
Oh hurrah, a scroll down at the website below will show you the fine sort of folk who are orchestrating some of the protests against, it would seem, Tory Mps in particular.
http://www.socialistunity.com/
The lovely Louise Marnell the Chair of Julie Must GO!
Kirkbride must go, but don’t lose sight of some of the smelly shenanigans going on on the left, unleashed by this. I wonder if Browns Gestapo thugs are standing on the sidelines.
But don’t forget, the far left always hate the centre-left as much as they hate the right, if not more so.
…and the lying creepy toady insisted on WATO R4 that she was “not a member of any parteh” just a fed up constituency voter.
Turns out she’s a looney lefty.
And WATO fell for it – or were they already aware??
Absolutely totally brilliant.
There are a lot of Tories against Kirkbride too. Like me, they have signed the petition.
Good grief. That website is stark staring bonkers.
The Old Communists had to go somewhere…
After all they wound up the “Party” !!!
Now this is MORE LIKE IT…Take note Dave, this is how to lead.
“Former Tory treasurer Lord Kalms has called for “retribution” against expenses-hit MPs and a ban on them standing for Parliament in future.
“It is the whole attitude – a total lack of ethical behaviour, a total lack of integrity, a total lack of understanding of right and wrong, a fundamental requirement of politics. These people who have taken advantage of the opportunitiesmust pay the penalty,” he said.
Action already taken by David Cameron was “a starting point” but was not enough, he said.
“David Cameron must make some major decisions and decide whether he can allow some of those worst claimers to continue in their role as Conservative MPs.
“First we have to take away the temptation and create a scenario where there no opportunities to fiddle the petty cash – then retribution,” he said”
http://page.politicshome.com/uk/kalms_cameron_must_ban_expenses_mps_from_standing.html
Good…
But is he just giving “arm chair” lessons to Cameron ?
Or is he denouncing the Criminal Labour Party as well led by Brown and Mandeson ?
It would be nice to think that an ex-Tory Party Treasurer (who does not like Cameron’s and Hague’s position on Isreal) could at least be even-handed ?!
I bet he “fixed” some good things when he was Tory Party Treasurer
All those undisclosed payments to the Tory Party…
He must really know what political finance is all about
Like Ronnie Cohen for Labour!
Does Kalms expect “retribution” for undisclosed funds paid to the Tories when he was their Treasurer ? And of course not linked to any “titles” !!
Curious double standard…
Dale’s defence of the odious Kirkbride boils down to saying she was just another thieving toerag among many others. Why don’t you leave her alone and pick on somebody else. Sorry but she and her twat of a husband need to spend some time with Inspector Thick down the local nick.
Too right. What is Dale on about. Did he do the survey and then get into trouble? Kirkbride and MacKay are the worst offenders, both in monetray total, and in conspiratorial terms. Guido`s description of the Kirkbride Family Business was accurate. Nobody has yet looked at Kirkbride`s expenses closely nor looked at them in the context of total amounts of misuse and fraud over 12 tears.
More evidence of Jonah Brown’s inverse Midas Touch.
Gordon can seriously damage your wealth
Dale has now picked up on Heffer’s blustering lie:
http://tinyurl.com/pr4pd6
I believe Cameron is right to send his MP’s to meet their electorate. The troughers must be shitting themselves.
If they can successfuly justify themselves, OK, if not hang them (out to dry).
That is good management. Let the shareholders (jo public, us!) have their say. Also make sure the reliable press in, not just Labour’s BBC.
That will clear the crap out……. What’s the betting that arsehole Brown won’t have the guts to follow suit?
That would make great TV, send them out with a rope to the nearest lampost!
Kirkbride will rig the meeting through a selected admittance. Cameron now supports her.
Yeah Dale is doing a wonderful brown nose job trying to defend the indefensible as well as doing a great job as all of the three monkeys all at once – the guy is a total asshole and has to moderate the posts on his blog to keep the criticism of his point of view minimised….needless to say my highly critical and rather accurate comment of Julie and Cameron never got published OWELL
surprise i am NOT!!!
my reply was published ,and i want miss kirkbride to go ,and go as soon as possible…..perhaps if you moderate your language,michael.
We wrongly thought that Cameron was going to do something about all this. Look atKirkbride. What a joke!
Kirkbride.
Class.
Heffer is vile pompous old fart. His brand of Tory was toast long ago. Part of what’s wrong at the Telegraph, along with the tipping off of government about McBride etc etc.
Be fair. He’s a vile, pompous middle-aged fart.
Simon Heffer loves John Redwood
Go and get on with your homework.
He should have been shot when he pretended to sing the welsh anthem.
nmha mma mur err mmmh, mur mur mmm fanan nah nah…………………….
What the hell is behind all this, great stink about certain Conservatives at the moment, relative measly quiet about the numerous abuses by Labour (yes folks, they are in government) ministers etc etc.
If I were you Guido, I’d delve into the matter in addition to what is going on now. Potential smoke and mirrors going on, are you fooled by it?
Usual No 10 Gordon Brown organised smears and Goebbels operation…
We’ve seen it all before
But it fools no one now…
Don’t under estimate just how stupid the average Brit is.
Yes, but that really boring bloke from the local / golf club / constituency party, has picked up a ukip leaflet and spends the whole day on here criticising Cameron.
Simon Heffer is a fat ginger Hoon ! .. and the Telegraph has become so poor.
We may be losing sight of the most important fact to emerge from all this fuss, to wit, that backbench MPs don’t really do anything. They may be as busy as one-armed paperhangers but they don’t actually have anything worthwhile to do. And, y’know, as the proverb says – the Devil finds work for idle hands. If they have nothing important to do, what they do have to do, e.g. claiming expenses, becomes important.
Agreed.
It beggars belief that in the middle of the country’s worst economic crisis in living memory, they’re all sent on holiday because they have insufficient business.
The next elected House has to take back some power from the Executive by demanding that it fully debate, on the floor or in committee, the legislation put before it and the issues of the day. Otherwise, we sink further into elected dictatorship. Call Me Dave’s ideas announced yesterday have some merit.
Pathetic comment, pah!
N
Is that your manifesto?
Nnn
Oi Heffer gerrorf!!!!
What is Dale smoking? Defending greedy troughers and that crazy Nadine while attacking young Tories for having views that contradict the official party line, what is wrong with him?
Trying to get into someones good books so he can have a go at the Norwich seat?
If he backs Kirkbride no-one will elect him.
The excuses verge on the bizarre:
A Labour MP has admitted ‘estimating’ the interest he paid on his mortgage for his second home allowances.
Mark Hendrick, MP for Preston, is said to have found it difficult to calculate how much the interest came to on his London flat and ‘tried to work out an average for the year’.
If he is unable to do this BASIC task he is not in a position to hold the office of MP and needs to be fired by Brown immediately. Of course figures where worked out in his favour.
Regarding Julie Kirkbride, “not knowing” is never an excuse, in fact she should be even more severely dealt with for “not knowing” – as an MP, not knowing about her own personal affairs is totally inexcusable. She needs to go now – together with a few others!!
Dohhhh!
When you get a mortgage statement every year, it tells you exactly how much you paid every month, the total for the year, how much the balance was at the beginning of the year and how much it was at the end of the year.
May be this prat only recently obtained his 17 GCSE Grade ‘A’s and 7 A* ‘A’ levels. That might explain it.
A product of NuLiebour educashun policy? Semi-illiterate presumably…
His view of Kirkbride is sound anyway.
“and make sure you hold the meetings when the bulk of the electorate is at work”—nice one Dave.
Brace yourselves for Bill Wiggin MP (Con) de Frigging in der Rigging, have a look at his ACA record.
He claimed 23 times for a non-existent mortgage and has no expenses for his other ACA claims, what a fishy wishy exEton boy, just like his leaderette David O’Cameron.
Additional Costs Allowance
£23,083 (joint 1st) £22,110 (joint 1st) £21,634 £20,902 (joint 1st) £20,333 (joint 3rd) £19,722 (joint 1st) £18,009 (joint 2nd)
Well you can’t be 1st every time.
He won’t be first at the next election either.
Oh humblest apologies (wring hands a la MacKay, lick lips a la O’Cameron) that should have been “has no receipts for his other ACA claims”.
So very, very sorry, most humble of humble apologies, so sorry etc etc etc………………….
Ps: Oh someone give me something worthwhile to do, posting Labour propaganda on this site is a pretty sad old thing to be doing. I’m lonely. I’ve not been well. Oh God.
I caught a fly at PMQs. The cameras missed it because I’ve been moved out of range.

Breaking news:
0% inflation in Germany.
According to the official statistical service, Destatis, consumer prices were unchanged in May compared to the same month last year – CPI year-on-year 0%.
Compare this to UK’s CPI figure of 2.3% in April(highest in western Europe), plus food prices still rising around 10% YoY and petrol having risen 15p/litre since start of year.
Sounds like a case for raising the minimum expenses, sorry wage.
So’s Germany mater.
Germany Tuesday confirmed its gross domestic product posted its sharpest decline since records began in 1970 on weak investment activity and a sharp drop in net exports.
First-quarter real GDP shrank 3.8% from the fourth quarter of 2008, data from the Federal Statistics Office confirmed Tuesday.
That was the fourth straight quarterly decline in GDP, underpinning the view that Europe’s largest economy will contract by as much as 6% this year.
And as German exports are the only real tangible asset propping up the Euro………
Yup the Germans will end up in a much better shape than we will, in ‘Light Touch Regulation’ loony deluded Gordon’s wasteland.
Twat, UK’s GDP has not collapsed greater due to the fact that UK Government spending is constituting approaching one-half of national income and government spending is still growing! Germany and Japan’s GDP have collapsed as they still run sizeable productive economies(manufacturing sector>20% of GDP), which are now mostly in short-time working. Once UK Government can no longer have one of its arms buy debt from another with printed money UK govt. spending and therefore national income will completely collapse by hundreds of billions of pounds. Whether this happens through a new austerity govt. or by the IMF is the only moot point, you nasty, deceiving prick.
But the key thing is that this inevitable outcome be deferred till after Labour lose the election. Then the Labour-chimps will wander the land claiming that they were marvellous stewards of the UK’s finances for thirteen years and after only (say) three months of the Tories the IMF was calledin/inflation was at 30%/the currency collapsed/all of the above.
The whole Labour ‘big push’ now is to avoid tackling the problem while it may still be possible to do so and poison the economy so thoroughly that it will collapse with absolutely catastrophic effect on somebody elses watch. It is pure politics being played out with the financial well-being of the entire nation but Brown et al don’t give a shit as long as they can defer the inevitable collapse until after they’re out.
Pure evil is now at large in the land and it wears a red rosette. Beat them up in the streets if they dare show their accursed faces.
I think the first thing the Conservatives should do if they win a GE is immediately change the A-level grading back to the banding of 15 years ago.
ie. C – 55-65% ; B – 65-75% ; A – 75%+
Then stand back and watch as the number of passes and ‘A’ s plummet. It would make a start in demonstrating just how much the figures have been fiddled in every sector of public service. People would have a hard time blaming someone who’s only been in power a few months.
I buy a very drinkable red wine for 2.49 euros a bottle from Aldi in Germany.
One of the cheapest places to live in Western Europe, since the euro!
Cameron thinks Julie Kirkbride can save us all.
Completely off topic, but I couldn’t help laughing at this:
“Disillusionment with mainstream politicians over the MPs’ expenses scandal and fears over jobs and immigration could lead to a surge in support for the BNP, with the party hoping to gain more local council seats and its first MEPs, according to political experts.
The controversy comes after the party admitted that it was investigating claims that one of its European election candidates had made overtly racist comments on Facebook. Eddy O’Sullivan, one of the BNP’s north-west candidates for the European elections, admitting writing comments such as “Wogs go home Gurkhas very welcome” on his Facebook page, but he denied they were racist. The page has now disappeared.
He told the Manchester Evening News: “It was supposed to be a private conversation between individuals. I also may have had a drink at the time. I don’t believe those comments are racist. I’m not a racist and that is that.”
I’m still fond of Gordon’s cheesy helmet scrapings!
‘Ere stop messin’ about!, see you round the back then?
No lad, just for clapped out followers of ghastly ghoul Gordon I’m afraid. Oh, my wife left me several years ago.
‘Ere stop messin’ about!!

Guido,
I am getting fed up with all this Tory expenses crap. I think with the tories the moat dredging etc is to be expected but should not be accepted and I think if I had my way they would all be whacked Guido Fawkes style. No one seems to be pursuing Balls, Cooper, Darling, or Hoon with the same vigour. But I am sick of this. ….you kind of wonder just how long the Telegraph is going to run with this s#*t. Anyway changing the subject to more current issues anyone notice how Susan Boyle resembles Gordon Brown. Both Scottish, same hair and build. On the Mail website she even through a tantrum….next she will be throwing nokias and printers about….maybe that’s her next act.
You never see them in the same room together….
Guido is actually a member of our secretive Bunker Club, where every month he gets to bounce up and down on saggy old Gordon’s knee.
Why else is he being such a tedious stuck record about this? Long live Gordo, die Tory scum!!!!!!!! (and everyone outside the Bunker Club).
‘Ere stop messin’ about!
Ken and I’ll come and sort you out soon enough you big pussy.
Gordon Brhoon and Susan Boyle cannot POSSIBLY be the same person.
She is, after all in a show called ‘Britain’s Got Talent’.
Brhoon and his lickspittles would qualify to star in ‘Shameless’
Kirkbride is the worst of the lot. Dreadful woman. Guido is right.
As I said above I don’t care and neither do the British public – if they did there would be mass protests at and in the Commons. People are outraged but powerless. By the time the election is called no one will be bother and Brown will get back in by any means necessary (glenroathes).
The fact that one MP is considered worse than another based on the amount they have fleeced the tax payer is hardly the way to look at things.
it can shine the light to go forward otherwise the whole sordid business will stick into the election. For Cameron not to act against Kirkbride is a sisaster – for him!
The tories have simply spotted a weakness in the rules and quite legally and cleverly exploited it.
This is quite different from the Labour troughists, who are just low class money grubbers.
You are bizarre and full of horse manure, obviously wiff a bit of class coz you is obveyeossly sew bloomin posh intchyerr? Probbly werk four yer half sisstah on dah side oo is a Tory MP with knee pads, nah daht abaht it.
The lower orders can never get over the fact that there’s a natural superiority about tories. It’s what made them tories in the first place.
These socialists, with their dogs and tattoes and cans of lager, think it’s just about money.
But we know it’s about class.
Julie has made the following responses to emails from the Telegraph re expenses. Her replies were not published.
Between 2006 and 2007 you claimed £548 for electrical equipment, including a digital camera and printer, which was bought by and delivered to your brother Ian. You had already bought and claimed £220 for a digital camera for your office in 2005. Why did you think this was justified? Was this equipment used for your work as an MP?
These items were exclusively for my use as an MP. If you look at my website or at my constituency office window you can see that I record my work as an MP in pictures. These items were bought by my brother, on my instructions, on the net to find the best value deals.
The total amount claimed on IEP expenses for electrical equipment bought by Ian Kirkbride was in fact £927.73, between March 2005 and October 2007. A further £72.79 was claimed for a wireless router in April 2005. The receipt for this was filed among others for purchases by Ian Kirkbride. Was this bought by Ian Kirkbride?
In all Miss Kirkbride claimed for four wireless routers in four years. Please could she explain why. In December 2005, Miss Kirkbride claimed about £50 for 200 correspondence cards ordered by Ian Kirkbride from a printers in Bromsgrove. Other receipts submitted by Miss Kirkbride show that she used a printers in Dartford , Kent , for her House of Commons headed stationery. Were these correspondence cards for Ian Kirkbride?
I often ask my brother to source IT equipment for me on the net. He has to use his credit card. In those years router technology moved wireless. I bought one for the Bromsgrove flat, one for the Bromsgrove office, one for London and one failed. The correspondance cards were printed in Bromsgrove and had my parliamentary header but my Bromsgrove address.
I use a printer in Kent for my A4 stationery delivered to the Commons.
In 2005 you claimed £500 for a television. In 2008 you attempted to claim £765 for another television. The latter claim was re-directed to your ACA expenses. Please explain why the claims were justified.
With the introduction of digital TV and 24hr news I bought a small TV for my desk then later a larger TV so I could monitor the news – which is clearly as important as reading a newpaper for an MP.
In March and May 2004 you claimed £1,000 for two sets of publicity photographs. Please explain why the claims were justified.
March 2004 – XYZ in Solihull – £500 day’s photography for publicity photographs
May 2004 – XYZ in Solihull – £500 for day’s photography for new constituency birthday card and another October 2006 – ABC photography. A photography session and various prints for £1,020.
Julie agrees there was £500 for a photoshoot in March 2004.
The bill for £500 in May 2004 was submitted in error and no payment was made.
New pictures were taken in 2006 after the General Election and the Fees Office paid £540 of that bill.

Does she do ‘specials’
Does she do anything?
“I record my work as an MP in pictures”
Doesn’t say much for her constituents does it?
No but it says a lot about Kirkbride. If you believe that lie you will believe anything.
MP’s must have all the latest gizmos and large TV’s because they say they need them. Perfectly acceptable answer for a crook. This is woman staggeringly out of touch and will find out just how much if she ever dares set foot in her constituency again.
The disgusting weasel words and pathetic egotistical self justifications of a piggy caught in the trough.
Well, hate to say it, but that looks reasonable.
Her career as an MP and journalist is still well and truly fucked however. Perhaps she could take up a second career as a psychotherapist? Any idiot can do that.
No wonder Ian Dale is acting like a puppy, she looks just like Joan Bakewell.
It might look reasonable but its a blatant excuse and lie. Kirkbride is a clever actress. She has fooled David Cameron.
Strange that you have apparently claimed that your 59 year old batchelor brother is a carer for your son at your tax-payer supported Midlands residence. According to ther reports, you drop him off at school each day in London. Your broher must be an ecceedingly clever, caring and fast man to get to London so quickly each day.
Sorry, Julie, but your stories don’t hold up any more than your hsuband’s did. Leave and try to do so with a bit of dignity intact. After all, you and the husband have done very handsomely out of the tapayer and will no doubt be claiming fat pensions now the secrets are out of the bag and you are obliged to go.
Kirkbride`s excuses are transparent nonsense yet Cameron says she has given a good account of herself. Her brother has lived in no-cost housing for 12 years, now admitted by Kirkbride whereas previously she had said 5.
No rent or mortgage, no council tax, no fuel bills, for 12 years! Taking Dave`s crackdown on housing expenses to `only` £1250 monthly, that means Ian Kirkbride has taken benefits in kind totalling £180,000, but the real cost is of course much higher. He has also enjoyed quality shopping at our expenses for 12 years, whilst his sister Karen has been paid £210,000 over the same period. Presumably she has paid the stat. postage etc. for her `executive secretarial work` out of her own pocket. Kirkbride`s full expenses over a 12 year period need very close examination. Meanwhile, Dave says ……. she`s given a very good account of herself. Incredible!!!!
Wrong questions, wrong facts, deceitful answers. No wonder Kirkbride is off the hook.
Readers Wives Julie on BBC New Channel defending the indefensible
She’s claiming to be like every other working mum. And says she ‘does understand’ why we ‘don’t’. Patronising trougher.
She also understands our confusion. She’s very understanding.
Silly bitch on Sky now trying to defend herself again, says she would love to be re-elected – NO CHANCE!
Can’t wait to see her get the same treatment as was dished out to her husband last week, under Dave’s “Transfer of power back to the constituencies” initiative
She’s not going as she’s spending the day with her little boy. (Her son I assume). Presumably her brother’s busy.
I thought that when politicians said that they “wished to spend more time with their family”, that was a polite way of being fired?
I reckon she’s hedging her bets. She did say she’d go if Dave asked her to. (That’s called a gift horse Dave).
Dave has asked her to stay. Unbelievable!
Doh.
She wants to run again!
My god, If she gets through re selection, I hope she looses her seat.
You seriously think she will get selected again?
She just said on Sky News that she won’t go to the constituency meeting ABOUT HER SELECTION on Sunday as:
“Sunday is the day I spend with my little boy”
Silly bitch – just resign before Dave sacks you!
She sounds like she will go on, although Thatcher said that and look how that worked out!
I’m going to set myself up selling rotten tomatoes outside constituency grovel gatherings. I’ll make a killing.
Good idea Dack Blog
Anyway, I’m out of here, off to watch the match. Come on Barca!!
This is the most appalling bad manners and bad strategy on her part.If she doesn’t turn up, Dave should withdraw the Whip from her.
Steve, Dave isnt going to sack her, he`s backing her. She will never be elected but she will be selected through rigged meetings, sychopants, and Dave`s support. This sordid business will now be central to the next election.
The obvious is denied, is there something we don`t know?
Don’t worry, mate. She’ll lose and lose big time.
I have been reading Iain Dales Blog and I think he should stand in her place.
He would be brilliant!
I couldn’t disagree more.
Having read his blog for the first time today I couldn’t see anything more than woolly logic and lame excuses for supporting Kirkbride.
He knew he would get it in the arse for that blog, and lo and behold….
What can we do?
do what can we
She surely will. Tories will be campaigning against her. Kirkbride is the pits, Cameron has made himself look a fool, or worse.
As far as his opponents are concerned David Cameron’s doing a fine job.
Nadine Dorries anyone?
Breaking news: she’s in Plymouth and ready to make a statement.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5394327/MPs-expenses-Julie-Kirkbride-will-stand-down-if-David-Cameron-asks-her-to.html
Julie Kirkbride, the embattled Tory MP who faces questions about her expenses, has said she will stand down if David Cameron asks her to.
She plays the ball back to DC….
Time to go madam, then we can return to the expenses fun and games from the party that is currently running this country, oh and the mess they are making of it.
Yeah. I mean between them in tewlve years they must have built up a decent pension pot and ‘property portfolio’ like practically every Labour cabinet minister. They won’t be missed. Cameron will just get another lobby chimp on 63K a year plus expenses to do as they’re told.
Seriously, what has any individual MP brought to government for the past 12 years. Apart from Blair and Brown the rest have been remarkable only for their incompetence being overshadowed by the venality and evil of their Prime Ministers.
Name one good minister in the Blair/Brown vichy. Name one department ‘turned around’. Name one policy success that couldn’t be traced to the Tories. Name on policy failure that doesn’t have Blair/Browns idiot thumb prints all over it.
And then name one good Prime Minister since 1997. Take your time. Take as long as you like.
We will work in partnership with business to create the dynamic economy, the competitive economy of the future. The one that can meet the challenges of an entirely new century and new age.
And it will be a government that seeks to restore trust in politics in this country. That cleans it up, that decentralizes it, that gives people hope once again that politics is and always should be about the service of the public. And it shall be a government, too, that gives this country strength and confidence in leadership both at home and abroad, particularly in respect of Europe.
It shall be a government rooted in strong values, the values of justice and progress and community, the values that have guided me all my political life. But a government ready with the courage to embrace the new ideas necessary to make those values live again for today’s world — a government of practical measures in pursuit of noble causes. That is our objective for the people of Britain.
Above all, we have secured a mandate to bring this nation together, to unite us — one Britain, one nation in which our ambition for ourselves is matched by our sense of compassion and decency and duty towards other people. Simple values, but the right ones.
Actually that was from Tony Blair’s acceptance speech in 1997
Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose
If DC is consistent, he’ll stick to his “go and face your constituents” line. If she refuses, she rather forces DC’s hand, and she’s toast.
Think of the child! Poor mite regularly turfed out on a motorway lay-by into the arms of her waiting bro’ according to her. He’s a decent bloke as well, apparently. He did her website for free and it won an award! Didn’t cost me a penny! Cheers Jules.
Not sure with the DT…is that she will stand down if Heffer tells her to?
Julie didn’t know what hubby was up to??? Do us a favour. They’ve enjoyed putting as much as they can on the taxpayer. She should be booted out and the pair completely shunned. It’s theft and the police should be called in.
She should be sacked and so should Brown and half his thieving cabinet.
The police should be called in. Its clear-cut fraud. Now we`ve heard Kirkbrides excuses, Cameron tells us she`s given a good account of herself. His increible support of Kirkbride will come back to haunt him.
Labour MPs Margaret Moran and Elliott Morley have both failed to attend the Party’s so-called Star Chamber this afternoon, both claiming to be “sick”.
Ian Gibson MP attended and was given the all clear to stand in the next election.
‘Star Chamber’, usual Brownpants macho name for a load of old ineffective crap. Somebody just shoot the wretched man.
Whitewash Chamber more like.
Blear’s is “totally unacceptable” one day then the next day Brown has “full confidence” in her. Pathetic!
Its certainly whitewash. Just look at Kirkbride!
Moron and Morley should both be in jail. Sick, my arse.
Quite so. Do a Maxwell on them. What is this kangaroo court assembled to judge me? Me? A representative of the people. By whose authority do you seek to judge us honorable members.
Our constituents will decide.
We can but hope.
Typical Brown/Blair tactic. Convene a ‘review’, stuff it with loyalists, decide the answer before you ever start and then use your rigged ‘independent’ review to justify your decisions. Very Nu Labour.
Very cynical – and completely accurate.
Just listening to PM programme. Apparently the Star Chamber is in session, but nobody knows where it is, who’s sitting in it…..
Pure, unadulterated, whitewash.
Yes, look at Kirkbride!
Ian Gibson’s appearance in the Court of Public Opinion is eagerly awaited.
I have already copyrighted “Double Jeopardy” as a new reality TV show.
The Wheel of Fortune will cease as will the spin (since these lilies toil not).
Henceforth, I will represent Respect, and you can address your silly remarks to George Galloway.
Nothing would surprise me from you, you silly bitch.
What a wrong move.
Not attending the constituency meeting in Plymouth ?.
Her brother seemingly not available to continue his rent free child minding services?
Goodbye Mrs Mackay or Miss Kirkbrideoffrankenstein.
My husband told me to do it…
the dead one or the one with the wig.Could you please stop breeding you political groupie your dna is proven faulty.
and she still wears Milligan`s rope necklace on every single photograph we see.
if her husband told her to do it, isn`t that more evidence for the police?
Julie, you just dont get it do you?
The public want blood!
At the moment they want your blood. When they have finished your blood they will want someone elses blood. Just give them the blood they require Julie, then look for a new career.
Have you considered joining the Police Force?
Apparently the expenses are pretty good, there’s plenty of overtime, great food, a great selection of cameras to choose from and you are entirely your own boss.
MacDonalds have vacancies. You and Andrew Mackay could practice all the fliiping there you’d like and even get overtime but you’d have to work and not just put it on expenses.
the career I would suggest is unprintable. no its not what you think, it involves broccoli.
Bond girl?
Are you sure?
The spotlight and heat are on Conservative MP’s while Labour MP’s and their Panel of 3 Just men keep a low profile.
Heat is on Cons because of a robust and outraged bloggers who are tougher on their own troughers than Labour. This is a good thing and demonstrates the difference between right wing blogs and the lickspittle Lab/Lib equivalents.
The more Con MP’s that are torched the better. This will expose Brown as a ‘do nothing’ moraliser whose moral compass is embedded up his ailementary canal. If Cameron can clean his stable quickly, he can move on to political reform and the economy. He must show Brown a clean pair of heals.
I have just listened to Ms Kirkbride’s interview/statement to BBC from of all places – Plymouth(?) – is she on holidays ? I’m afraid that whilst her arguments were reasoned and cogent it won’t save her despite her intention to soldier on and stand at next election. Her constituents in Bromsgrove are less than impressed as they are with her saying that she has no intention of “making herself available for meeting in her constituency on Saturday as this is when she spends time with her son as a mother(which is extremely laudable if these were normal times but they’re not).I fear by that statement she has sealed her fate with her constituents and despite her being in Cameron’s words “an extremely able MP” she will be de-selected and if not she will lose the election.Judging by the anger in Bromsgrove that is being reported that seems absolutely certain.
A great pity but once she gave the impression of “couldn’t be bothered”(which is probably very unfair to her) and that she would not be attending the weekend public meeting in Bromsgrove( although she may well attend others later) she was toast !
You do not understand this woman. Of course she could not be bothered, she has described those who oppose her as `sad losers`. Maybe she was in Plymouth visiting one of her exective secretaries, I`m sure we paid the mileage. Or was she there becayse the pr`media company who devised her statement at Cameron`s behest based there. She will be selected but never elected. Tories like me will never support her and it makes it increasingly difficult to support the party. Cameron has done a very silly thing in backing her.
She truly is a trick-ass buster!
Kirkbride the actress was always dodgy.
1000 officials to be arrested in Iraq for corruption by anti-sleaze watchdog.
If only that would happen in the UK, if only…
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/8070721.stm
Yes
When they take more action against corruption in Iraq than in the UK
We know we are fucked..
WHERE ARE THE BRITISH POLICE IN ALL OF THIS ??
They have put it out for consultation. (daily mail, police spend £70 million on consultants at the expense of front line 0fficers)
They just finished and the gay outreach conference, but there’s a conference on how to waste money on Police Horses in areas that don’t need them, up next.
They’ll check their schedule and get back to you.
They should arrest Kirkbride.
Some of those officials are probably MPs moonlighting during the recess.
I have been trying all afternoon to find the link for Shakin Stevens and “Oh Julie” Kirbride – I hope some posh boy has not been having a laugh at my expense
Deregulate the mortgage market and thank god for Julie Kirkbride the best cover we could have asked for.
Ooow! Look over there a bird being roasted, slowly look, look!
My Nikki is a friend of Julie.
It started in Bracknell and Bromsgrove. Sorry, Julie, but we’re tough on crime and the causes of crime and, besides, you ain’t no Joanna Lumley. She has integrity.
Agreed. Kirkbride has to go.
Dolly’s found God! Thank God I’m an atheist! I see Mrs MacKay has been defending herself and her family business arrangements! This woman has been caught with her hands in the till, her brother and sisters hands in the till, her husbands had his hands so far in the till there sticking out the back and she somehow thinks she can stay on and trough more readies after the election next year (assuming chairman Broon grows balls and calls an election that is) The woman is as daft as a Dorries! Surely she can take a hint and fuck off!
Any links where I can spend a day flicking through the complete receipts of those thieving Huhnes who have been exposed by the DT?
I’m bored of snippets.
we need the full details of all Kirkbride`s expenses.
40 Ministers were fingered by the Telegraph, isn’t that nearly half of the current government?
Kirkbride is a distraction from the endemic corruption of XanuLabour’s ministers. Follow the money and get rid of McBroon.
Have any of the troughers from the rarely spotted cabinet been sighted in public, or have all off them been imprisoned in the bunker? At least Kirkbride and McKay face the public unlike Straw, Balls, Brown, Darling, Hoon.
Julie Kirkbrideoffrankenstein – thanks no 314!!
Stephen Milligan? Andrew McKay?
Any expert on facial disfigurement will tell you the next on this list is undoubtedly Gordon Brown.
They’ll kick a couple out, but give them a discount rate on a peerage to keep them sweet.
Dolly’s found Gord – now there’s a headline.
So Mrs mackay would like to be re-elected-so would mr Mackay I suspect. NO DEAL!
Absolutely no deal. The Bromsgrove stable needs to be cleaned now not during the election.
As does nearby Redditch. What could I possibly mean?
Heffer pedalling backwards furiously:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5394947/MPs-expenses-Simon-Heffer-still-considering-opposing-Alan-Haselhurst.html
No mention of his claim that it was him wot got the money paid back
Have just heard Mrs Mackay on radio saying she would like to be re-elected.
Brass neck or what? Dave was wrong to back her on tv.Charming background to the Euro vote on 4th. Does she have any other relatives on the payroll that have not yet come to light?
I am sure so. Needs investigation, but she has destroyed a lot of the evidence.
Will Bromsgrove prove to be the ene of the gravy train line.
Where’s the stuff about the Labour cabinet pig troughers and five bellies Jacqui Smith?
Some BBC researcher did the work to show she knew full well her husband was claiming 3 years ago.
Episode 5 of have i got news for you plays and an interview with miss Kirkbride where the question of double claiming is put to her and she hangs up sharpish.
She has nowhere to hide!!
GOODNIGHT JULIE KIRKBRIDE SLEEP TIGHT THE BUGS WILL BITE
Cameron say’s they must go to their constituents and hold up their hands if they have done something wrong? How about hold their hands out , now do you cuff them behind their backs or in front of them in the UK ….. l dont know, l’m an honest man
