Johnson and Miliband Ready Campaign Teams

Guido has been sniffing around and now has positive confirmation that the game is really on.  Jack Straw’s claim yesterday that Gordon was secure in his job and would not be “ousted” shows that it is very much on the agenda.  If UKIP were to beat Labour, Nigel Farage is right, Brown would have to go.  No amount of spin that “all mainstream politics is disgraced” would save Gordon, that would only make sense if the Tories were beaten by UKIP as well.  Just as the end of David Owen’s SDP was signaled by them losing to the Monster Raving Loony Party, UKIP beating Gordon would confirm his demise.

This prospect is viewed with absolute horror by CCHQ.  If Tory staffers could save Gordon by voting Labour on June 4, they would.

The scenario put to Guido goes like this; Thursday June 4 is Labour’s worst nightmare, Labour’s local council low-point goes even lower.  Either the LibDems or UKIP beat Labour on the percentage share of the vote in the Euro vote.  The Sunday press is of course totally hostile to Brown with Labour MPs clamoring openly for him to stand down.  If Sarah Brown can’t or won’t save him from humiliating himself that weekend, he will on the Monday night ( June 8 ) have to face the PLP disarmed of McBride and unable any longer to put the press frighteners on critics as much as in the past.  Watch out for a recent former cabinet member making the Geoffrey Howe speech.  Not Clarke or Byers, it will have to be someone without previous, who has served in Brown’s cabinet, someone like Peter Hain or Ruth Kelly.  For the good of the party and the good of the nation he will be implored to go.  If the mood of the room goes against him, he will fall shortly after, much as the Speaker went.

Guido’s source cautions that we have been here before and Brown has a knack of hanging on by his bitten down fingernails.  Chickens are not being counted.  Campaign teams are however being assembled in readiness with the weekend of June 12/13 pencilled in for them to break cover.  Miliband’s SpAd Sarah Schaefer has sounded out a team ready to go within weeks, Alan Johnson’s unsuccessful deputy leadership campaign team is also clearing the decks.  The game is very much on…

    Sure this isn’t UKIP spin to obtain a bigger share of the Euro votes?

      I don’t care if it is I am not a UKIP fan but I am voting for them as snot gobbler and his party of shits could not survive coming 4th behind them. The press would have a field day and the anti-EU sentiment would make Davey Boy sit up and take notice.

          UKIP represents a sound way of delivering a message to these hoons. All of them.

          Just maybe they will see the welter of opinion against the EEC and politicians in general.

          In almost every aspect of our lives their decisions are contrary to our interests and a vote for UKIP might just bring it home.

          And, if it doesn’t? Well maybe it would be worth risking a vote for BNP next time

        What’s sauce for the Goose is sauce for the Duck House, as it were.

        It is not out of the realm of possibility that UKip could come perilously close to overtaking the Conservative share of the vote.

        Because there is still many days before the Election and if we get days and days more of servants quarters style piggery and Kirkbride hogging the headlines then everything is up for grabs.

        So do any apolcalypse scenarios come into effect for Dave should the worst happen ? Would he have to pledge out of Europe for the Manifesto ?

        Which isn’t to say Brown won’t get a furious kicking in the Euros and Locals.
        He definitely will. But we again return to the question of who would be mad enough to want his job at the moment in the Cabinet or even out of it.

        And the one huge question mark is turnout.
        Far easier for the public to express their disgust by sitting on their hands and saying “f*ck the lot of you” after all.

        The results will be a statistician and pollsters dream though and will be subject to unbelievable scrutiny and interpretation.

          I’d be all for the Australian system of compulsory voting with the one proviso being a box for “none of the above”.

          You can’t lay all the blame on the public for deing dissillusioned with the current crop of crooks and thieves after all.

          Voter turnout has been falling steadily and it isn’t just because people can’t be bothered.

          The Parties carry most of the blame for falling memberships and not enthusing the public or giving them a reason to vote. And a tiny vote would be a slap in the face and a clear signal that the public is definitely not happy with “business as usual”.

          Governments need a sizeable mandate or their support is unrepresentative and merely the grudging acceptance of the best of a bad bunch. Hardly Democracy at it’s finest.

          Independents will do well as will anyone who can convince the public that they are not just spouting the same old platitudes and spin about reform and change, while desperately hoping “this will all blow over.”

          But the fact is most of the public think Politicians are scum now and persuading them to vote for the least fraudulent is pretty pathetic and not a recipe for success in the long run.

          Scorched Earth, I’m with you on that one. Or perhaps we should just change the FPTP system so that the non-vote has equality with the cross on the ballot paper. If there is a less than 50% turnout in a constituency, then the parties have to re-run that particular constituency election with different candidates.

        • 119

          I don’t think we really want Gordon Brown to be ousted as PM by the PLP.

          Whatever happens between now and 2010, to which he wants to hang on, this country could not be deeper in the cesspit than it already is. The job of David Cameron, who will probably form the next government whether libertarians like it or not, cannot thus be makde any more difficult than he knows it to be.

          Of course, people ought to vote for anybody but the Labour Party – with the possible exception of the BNP, although I’d suggest that people who go for them are not the usual sort to be persuaded by rational argument in favour of all the less-statist alternatives – even the Luvvy-Dems: the BNP will become the home of disaffected visceral Old Labour voters who have been alienated by exactly the culture of the supercilious and dismissive, anti-English FabiaNazis.

          Can’t see UKIP doing very much better this time: a campaign with pictures of Churchill and other vintage iconography on it is a campaign directed at a dead and dying generation, sadly. There are too few left to make the difference for them.

        • 122

          Oh, and you can bet 67p that Labour will rig elections, or falsify results, or tamper with not only boxes but ballot-papers. they will not appear to do as badly as we hope and they fear, and perhaps this will be good as Brown may survive to continue the wreakage.

      I know some want Brown to stay as he’s causing maximum damage to Labour. But he has to go now as he’s destroying the country, just as King Midas’s touch turned things gold, Brown’s touch turns things to sewage.

      He’s sabotaged the economy, turned Westminster into a laughing stock, swam up an Afghan creek without a paddle or a plan and now he’s planning to get a lot of BNP and UKIP nutters elected. The man is a walking calamity. North Korea’s Kim has a surer touch.

      • 341

        No no.

        Brown must stay in charge for as long as we can keep him there on the dispatch box. He spells corporeal death for the political wing of the Enemy Class, for even just a little time to allow libertarians and Classical liberals to regroup and try to infiltrate the existing power structures in our Gramscian-turned-upside-down way, that I now advocate, for as long as he hangs onto power.

        I want four things:-

        (1) for Labour to get absolutely chain-sawed to dead meat, on 4th June, totally out of existence – if they kept one Euparl seat it would be one too many, if they kept one council seat they defended, it would be one too many.

        (2) and for him to get ruthless and stay on top of the ant-heap in Westminster.

        (3) in default of either UKIP or the LPUK doing well, for the Tories to clean up.

        (4) Later, if Cameron gets the opportunity, he hsould close the BBC (I said close it, yes I did), throw the staff onto the street (all of them without exception including the junior light-bulb-changers: “only following orders” should not be a defence), sell what copyrights he can, and put the other archives in the Public Domain. Then offer the frequency bands for auction, after the ARRL and the RSGB have cherrypicked them.

      And those who seem to be fairly clean are by definition that bit more honourable and wouldn’t engage in Election mudslinging anyway.

      If anyone from any Party caught troughing tries to take the “low road” come the Election they will be eviscerated.

      Course most troughers will get a hard kick in the polls out of Politics anyway.

        Well you can’t blame them, they are proper GramscoFabiaNazis, who believe what they are saying, and do it with disarming and cheeful frankness: and she is not a serious and proper one of those, does not believe herself, and is cagey.

        That’s why David Camerson should sadly have “disappeared her” about three days ago.

      Indeed, if UKIP can shove McMental’s party of retards and thieving hoons into 4th place, the socialist comrades will hit the panic button big time. McMental will be shoved out and the ‘comrades’ will descend into shredding each other to pieces to claim the pole position to watch their shitty little party smashed to pieces at the general.

      I am voting UKIP and would anyway as I hate the EU, but the added benefit of fucking McMental’s party into the dirt appeals enormously.

      Good reasons NOT to vote UKIP:

      1) Labour come 4th – new leader revives Labour sufficiently to form minority UK government – the hell drags on for another 4-5 years.
      2) Split anti-Labour vote (especially Conservtive/UKIP) allows Brown to come 2nd, hang on and commit further damage.

      Ideal outcome is for Labour to be a poor 3rd behind Conservatives and LibDems.

Gordon has been clever and not done any “nasty Tory” cuts, so the effects of this economic meltdown are not hitting home to most people, yet. Anyway, wasn’t it the fault of Tory bankers chums This latest wheeze has taken the headlines off the recession. So called “green shoots”and the sunshine are making peopler feel not so bad. So headlines read ” Green Shoots, and Tory Toffs Moats. This NuLabour mob still has legs and the election is a long way off… they could still win. Think, even if they win by one seat Brown would hang in there for another FIVE years. Be very afraid, read The Mirror.

        As Cameron only became an MP in 2001 he will have a much larger mortgage. Brown on the other hand bought his flat in a fire sale from Robert Maxwell back in the early 90′s and has padded out his expenses – while possessing a free house in Downing Street to live in – by getting his kitchen renewed, paying for cleaners, gardeners, plumbers, light bulbs and children’s curtains.

    The only problem is I think that the Tory amage at the election will be bigger than we all thought.

    All the electorate are seeing 24/7 from all the MSM is “Tory expense this, Tory expense that” and not a peep out of Labour now.

    What happened to Ed Balls and his man-boy’s expenses scrutiny? Why nothing on them?

    I made a comment about this three weeks ago saying the media would feast on the Labour expenses initially, then draw out the Tories scams much closer to the election, proportionally increasing the damage to the Tories election chances as the electorate have very short memories.

    I’m not sure what the point of replacing Gorgon would be. Labour are finished anyway. Maybe for ever, since the unions are in the process of giving up on them.

    Anybody taking over now would be left with a problem. The whole process would take a couple of months. Do they go for an election right there and then knowing they are sure to lose? Or do they hold out to the last possible moment, Labour’s second unelected PM – then we are less than a year before the last date of a possible election. Would they really want to go down in history as the shortest term in office of any PM?

    Guido – are you sure you aren’t being manipulated? I’m getting very worried by these reports, which smell of disinformation and clever expectations management. Brown is crap at governing the country but very very sophisticated when it comes to infiltrating the press – and we know how hard they’ve been working at the blogosphere. This smacks to me of Glenrothes style media scare stories. After the elections we will no doubt be inundated with stories about how Gordon did miraculously well, while the Conservatives, despite all expectations, were the ones to get a kick in the ballots. The media narrative has clearly turned the expenses scandal into a Tory Sleaze story. I fear Tories will be punished, not Brown.

      It doesn't add up... says:

      There’s a whisper down the line at 11.39
      When the Night Mail’s ready to depart,
      Saying `Skimble where is Skimble has he gone to hunt the thimble?
      We must find him orthe train can’t start.’
      All the guards and all the porters and the stationmaster’s daughters
      They are searching high and low,
      Saying `Skimble where is Skimble for unless he’s very nimble
      Then the Night Mail just can’t go.’
      At 11.42 then the signal’s nearly due
      And the passengers are frantic to a man -
      Then Skimble will appear and he’ll saunter to the rear:
      He’s been busy in the luggage van!
      He gives one flash of his glass-green eyes
      And the signal goes `All Clear!’
      And we’re off at last for the northern part
      Of the Northern Hemisphere!

      You may say that by and large it is Skimble who’s in charge
      Of the Sleeping Car Express.
      From the driver and the guards to the bagmen playing cards
      He will supervise them all, more or less.
      Down the corridor he paces and examines all the faces
      Of the travellers in the First and in the Third;
      He establishes control by a regular patrol
      And he’d know at once if anything occurred.
      He will watch you without winking and he sees what you are thinking
      And it’s certain that he doesn’t approve
      Of hilarity and riot, so the folk are very quiet
      When Skimble is about and on them ove.
      You can play no pranks with Skimbleshanks!
      He’s a Cat that cannot be ignored;
      So nothing goes wrong on the Northern Mail
      When Skimbleshanks is aboard.

      Oh it’s very pleasant when you have found your little den
      With your name written up on the door.
      And the berth is very neat with a newly folded sheet
      And there’s not a speck of dust on the floor.
      There is every sort of light – you can make it dark or bright;
      There’s a button that you turn to make a breeze.
      There’s a funny little basin you’re supposed to wash your face in
      And a crank to shut the window if you sneeye.
      Then the guard looks in politely and will ask you very brightly
      `do you like your morning tea weak or strong?’
      But Skimble’s just behind him andwas ready to remind him,
      For Skimble won’t let anything go wrong.
      And when you creep into your cosy berth
      And pull up the counterpane,
      You are bound to admit that it’s very nice
      To know that your won’t be bothered by mice -
      You can leave all that to the Railway Cat,
      The Cat of the Railway Train!
      In the middle of the night he is always fresh and bright;
      Every now and then he has a cup of tea
      With perhaps a drop of Scotch while he’s keeping on the watch,
      Only stopping here and there to catch a flea.
      You were fast asleep at Crewe and so you never knew
      That he was walking up and down the station;
      You were sleeping all the while he was busy at Carlisle,
      Where he greets the stationmaster with elation.
      But you saw him at Dumfries, where he summons the police
      If there’s anything they ought to know about:
      when you get to Gallowgate there you do not have to wait -
      For Skimbleshanks will help you to get out!
      He gives you a wave of his long brown tail
      Which says: `I’ll see you again!
      You’ll meet without fail on the Midnight Mail
      The Cat of the Railway Train.’

    This all fits with an October election.

    Who is to say this isn’t already planned. Brown draws the poison and falls on his sword. Postman Pat stands forward ( after grabbing lots of free publicity in a Labour leadership campaign – whilst Harriet Harman is acting PM !!! ).

    He then has to go to the country in Oct, but will get respect for doing so ( although the country’s fincaces will actually give him no choice ).

    This gives Labour their best chance to limit the damage and help to weaken the country by weakening the next government and preventing it from aving the country from the IMF.

    Wealth destroyed, country ruined, Tories reputation destroyed – socialism’s job is done. ( Even Broon would approve ).

    Let’s face it, at least 15% of the electorate will vote Labour no matter what. So, the chances of them finishing behind UKIP/Lib Dems are not as great as some seem to think. So, a tactical vote for anyone else is probably going to be wasted or help Labour.

    Also, Labour party rules make it virtually impossible to replace the leader unless he jumps. And McSnotty being McSnotty, I can’t see him doing that.

      HMP Brixton says:

      Great name!

      I agree. Brown will have to be (metaphorically, if not literally) dragged out by the men in white coats. I genuinely think that if he could find a way to prolong this Parliament (eg. Civil Contingencies Act) he’d do it just to be PM that little bit longer.

      More generally, all politicians want only to be in office. Forget the cant about serving the people. They just want to be “important”.

      Labour abandoned any pretence at electoral reform as soon as they got into office. Carmeron is thre same: because he thinks he’ll become PM under 1st past the post he’s against PR. If he was told he’d only be PM as leader of a coalition under PR he’d soon change his tune.

    This risks becoming a disaster. If McBroon goes and the ascendancy is quiet and well managed then the poll honeymoon could well last until October (before the clocks go back). Could even result in a hung parliament.

    The only way we can insure that Labour goes into the wilderness for a generation is for Brown to stay on until the bitter end. It simply has to happen.

    BUT, and it’s a nice big shiny but, Gordo the loony has more arrogance in one strand of his DNA than a billion Peter Hains; so, what options does he have? Stand down as the worst Prime Minister in history? Or go down with the sinking ship blaming it on events?

    He’ll cling on to the spinnaker with every drop of his strength.

    Gordo still thinks he’s saving the world – and no novice or postie is worthy of the role.

      Surely if we all withhold our votes, none of the tits can claim office and we shall be saved…

        EUSSR doesn’t care about votes. Well votes that go against it anyway. Vote, vote, vote again until they get the result they want.

        Britain is too small to survive on its own. Lack of size doesn’t seem to hinder Norway, Switzerland, or Singapore.

        The EUSSR only wants the UK so it can be taxed and provide squaddies. It likes us to take an active part in the US’s wars as not only does it subject our forces to attrition it also conveniently keeps them half a world way from Europe.

      If they have, why are they keeping it secret ?

    Until the Zanu BBC is utterly eradicated then Nu Labour will never be removed. Just look at the bias in the reporting betweeen Labour and conservative troughers. Its only the Tories that are highlighted.

    This is the same as Mandleson staying on a yacht and Osboune visiting for the day. Who got 3 weeks of crap? We it wasn’t Mandy who by the way also has very dodgy expenses but funnily enough not mentioned by Pravda.
    Masterbaiter even mentions it as Corfu Osborne but no mention of that lizard Mandleson

    If we want rid of Nu Labour we have to stop the BBC first. The people will be swayed by that organsation. As we all pay we have a right to balanced report not political broadcasts on behalf of the ruling elite

    Nu Labour Forced Me To Become A Rentboy. says:

    Gordon Brown NEEDS to stay until the IMF loan calls.

    Surely you’s all understand that. The man would be ruined, having to crawl and beg on his knees to the IMF after slapping them down for years. The so called finance genius will go bonkers having to admit he was wrong and got no creditbility. The old tired excuses of ‘it’s a world wide recession worse one since ww2′ would be void.

    Most of all Labour would be finished for good.

    Old Labour already crawled to the IMF, Nu labour having to repeat the same move would reinforce the point home with voters and finish them for good.

    I know it’s hard and everyone wants to see Gordon and Labour out of office as soon as we can but we can’t give the Labour Goons any ammunition to use in future like ‘Dave and the tories where forced to go to the IMF’ ‘oh no it wasn’t our fault’ etc.

    We got to hold on a little more and let this happen so the leftie bastards get utterly demoralised and wiped out for good.

    The country is being propped up at the moment with funny money anyway so a trip to the IMF is inevitable they know that already hence talk of Autumn elections so they can get out of power before they’re forced to walk the plank to the IMF loansharks.

    Wiping them out on June the 4th will be great as well, we just got to play our cards right and make sure they keep Gordon and end up wiping themselves out forever.

      Plus the public sector and unions will go apeshit when the IMF sets those loan restrictions like they did before which will give Dave the perfect cover to take a hatchet to them like never seen before and blame it all on Labour.

    Careful voter says:

    Does anybody know what plans Dave and the other parties have in place to monitor these elections?

    I was once employed as an observer at an overseas election and each participating party had two representatives sitting round the table watching the counting very carefully while another two were passed the voting papers to agree who the vote was for. Another two supervised the register marker who was producing the running totals as they were counted. So at the end of the count everybody agreed the totals for each party and a supervised “runner” conveyed the result and all the papers to the carefully supervised central elections office.

    We may need something like this, as well as multiparty supervised security arrangements to ensure the ballot boxes are completely safe before counting starts – especially if they are to be “stored” overnight before being opened.

      anonymouse in the Treasury skirting boards says:

      Euro elections are not counted until polls close across the EU, so the actual counting of votes takes place on Sunday afternoon/evening. There is a “tally” count, to verify that the number of ballots in the box match the number issued at the polling station on Friday and a series of openings of postal votes.

      Each Party/Candidate is entitled to nominate up to four people to attend to monitor these counts, plus all candidates and candidates’ spouses/partners may attend.

    That Libertas totty looks like an excellent successor assuming she comes through a rigorous vetting by the Whip’s office.

    I’ve been saying since last December that Brown wouldn’t last until the Autumn.

    The paths open to the Labour party are reducing with every day.

    A new Labour leader and an immediate general election is fast becoming the only option for them to retain a decent number of seats.
