+++ Tom Watson Resigning, Guido Will Miss Him +++

Watson

So many rats are leaving the government ship it is in danger of toppling over.  Tom Watson, the Minister for Mudslinging*, who was named in the one of the Smeargate emails from McBride to Draper, will be particularly missed.  He is cherished by strategists at CCHQ.  If it wasn’t for him the Labour Party would not have swapped a triple-election winning political genius for a voter repelling, election avoiding, malevolent weirdo.  They should, if they could find enough scrap brass, put a statue of him outside the entrance to Tory HQ on Millbank.  Watson also saw off Stephen Carter, someone brought in from outside the Brown circle to bring a wider media savvy perspective, in doing so he probably killed the last hope of sanity in the Downing Street bunker.  Watson of course organised the coup which failed but fatally undermined Blair.  It is to Tom Watson who more thinking Tories toast for the tactical and strategic disasters that have plagued the Brown premiership.  On a personal note, Guido would like to pay tribute to Tom for his antics and attempts to struggle unsuccessfully against the Guidoisation of politics.  Watson will now have more time with his family and Play-Station, no doubt his blog will also improve with him out of government…

          So what?

        • 262

          You might be right. Once the Allies landed in Normandy Hitler’s lackey Keitel phoned commander of the western armies, Von Runstead, to ask what they should do.
          “Make peace you fools” he said before hanging up the phone, and then quitting his job.

          Field Marshall Model took over. A competent regimental commander, but not an army, let alone a theater commander. A bit like putting Balls in charge.

          Ahhhh… History does repeat.

      The point Mr G does not raise is “Why”??

      One wonders if, in an effort to personally survive, Brown is going to give over the de facto PMship to Balls? Just a thought.

      And BTW we should not forget that Balls’ reputation is under a massive cloud following allegations of Lying to parliament over the exams fiasco. I forget which fiasco exactly, there have been so many.

      The Labour party ceased to exist in the 1970’s

      The “New Labour” party was a brilliant conspiracy, contrived as a “front” operation for a highly organised gang of international bankers.

      It has served it’s purpose and they leave Britain’s sinking hulk having ensured that the cargo (The wealth and democracy of our people) has been shipped to foreign lands.

      Lib Lab Con were all paid handsomely for their treachery.

          Hmmm, as a Dr I can state with authority that this fixation with other people’s bowel movements is indicative of an immature personality still trapped in the anal stage. What follows is the phallic stage and fixation on the mother as a sexual object.

          In an adult, definite signs of an Oedipal Complex. The father figure is the ‘Conservative’ who must be fought to take possesion of and penetrate the mother.

          The good news is that this fixation can be treated with a course of psychoanalysis.

          He, like Hardwidge, is a Tory plant designed to wind up any wavering commentators to the point where they will raise the dead and fill out postal voting slips just so they can vote for anybody but Labour.

          Jolly good for them.

          Look what happened to SuBo when the whole country thought it was in the bag. Complacency, lack of voting …. shock result.

          Now, in the case of SuBo it doesn’t really matter but in terms of the economic survival of the Uk it absolutely critical that the pressure be kept up on Brown and his cohort of imbeciles.

          I salute MB for his efforts in keeping our eye focussed on the goal of making Labour history.

          Because while he is reasonably articulate in his faux idiocy it is precisely that mendacious mindset at large in the Labour Party that keeps their ill-educated 22% core on-side. Or is it 20%? Or 18% Or 16%? I forget.

          The Conservitudes have given up on their nice guy partly green modern/progressive image. They’re too scared of attack from the right both inside and outside their rancid superannuated excuse for a political party.

      Nobody voted for him, nobody wants him and we are still stuck with him and his completely discredited party of idiots, thieves, fuckwits and traitors for at least another year.

    Don’t think the conservatives will ride easily to victory in general elctions.

    The coming local and european elections are ideal for those employed in the public sector or on means-tested benefits to tell Brown without too many side effects that he should vow to keep their perks (pensions anyone?) in tact. 28% of UK households get more than half their income from the government. It will not cost them a penny to cast a protest vote when they vote for council or european elections. Most of these households will vote labour in general elections since labour likely will be most kind to them. And remember, in many households there is more than one voter, while labour had 34% of the vote in the last general elections.

    And labour will get a huge chunk of the postal votes, helping their poll tally by 5%points versus the poll ratings prior to elections.

      Steve the Hammer says:

      You’re whistling in the dark to keep your (presumably) Labourite spirits up. Apart from the fact that your Brownian recital of dodgy percentages relates to a much happier era, what you forget is that a huge percentage of those who rely on the government for their income stay in their stinking pits all day and don’t bother to move their fat arses to do anything much, let alone vote for an utterly discredited shower. So it will be much much worse than you suggest.

        Postal Vote says:

        Steve, agree with your staying-in-the-pits comment, but that is why labour invented postal votes.

        You’ll see a huge jump in postal votes at the next general elections – it will be the next really big scandal.

          Steve the Hammer says:

          PV – Do the scrounging classes/underclass have to take the trouble to stick a stamp on their postal votes? If so, you still won’t get them.

          And what you’re not acknowledging is that even these people will still be sick of the sight of Labour – more so in a years time if Cyclops clings on. Granted they won’t vote Tory much but there will be a huge army of abstentions, or votes for fringe parties, which could result in some weird results – probably Lib Dem successes – in places where even a red hippopotamus might have won in the past (and in the case of Tom Watson actually did) .

      Postal Vote says:

      for clarity purposes: i’m not partisan at all when it comes to uk politics, not even allowed to vote in uk elections

      re the conservatives perhaps more than anticipated uphill struggle: the 2.7 million on incapacity benefit account for 40 commons seats when using labour’s votes per seat count in the last elections. And that’s without taking into account the partners and offspring of those on incapacity benefit. Add the 5.5 million working in the public sector and you add another 80 seats, again before taking relatives into account.

      the conservatives need many dooknockers and many postal votes to capitalise on the current turbulence

    In what capacity can Watson remain ‘in Government’ but not be a Minister? This is the very problem that has scuppered Parliament – too many MPs in the shadow of the PM. There are something like 140 MPs who are members of the Government. Add in those who are not above the radar but very much a part of Team GB and it’s no wonder Parliament is useless. The Government is meant to answer to Parliament, well it hasn’t had to for a decade.

    Interesting comment on James Kirkup’s blog (follow “Fear and Loathing at the PLP Meeting” in Seen Elsewhere):

    John @ 12.01 -

    Following Adam Boulton’s interview with Brown on Sky. It takes very little thought to cast one’s thoughts back to pre 2004 and Brown’s thirst for power. It is clear that he and Balls came up with the scheme for flipping and a change to the expenses rule in 2004. This undoubtedly provided huge support and popularity, from MPs (making money within the new rules) for Brown’s push for power against Tony Blair. The whole of this expenses affair can be laid at the door of Brown’s cabal. They appealed to the most mendacious elements of cabinet and backbench colleagues on the Labour party. His anger at Boulton’s initial questioning gives one the impression of yet another ‘plausible deniability’. In my view if this claim can be supported then it amounts to a virtual criminal conspiracy to defraud the taxpayer. It is hardly surprising that the police have not already been involved as they are being encouraged to look at individual claims. (not I may add by the Labour Party). This whole affair stinks to high heaven and calls into question the whole of the political class as well as the government of the day. It may only take pressure on one high profile casualty (Hoon or Darling) to be criminally investigated for defrauding the taxpayer to provide the beginnings of a trail of the worst corruption to come to light in British History. I will not hold my breath however, too many vested interests ensure a resounding silence in the face of the British electorate.

      Master Baiter says:

      Brown did fine in that interview. Boulton kept trying to pick away on that point and Brown said flatly he had nothing to do with the change, the Treasury had nothing to do with the change. Also he told Boulton that if Boulton has evidence to make allegations he must present the evidence. Boulton eventually backed down.
      Doubters look for yourselves at the interview.

      The implication is that Blair brought it in and he’s gone, together with most of his camp.

    Labour are going

    MPs will be given an unexpected opportunity next week to dissolve parliament and call an early general election.
    The leaders of Plaid Cymru and the Scottish National party are to use their allotted time in parliament to force a dissolution debate on Wednesday.

    It aims to put David Cameron, the Tory leader, and Nick Clegg, the Liberal Democrat leader, on the spot on whether they want to go to the polls.

    The timing, just three days after Labour is expected to take a drubbing in the European and county council elections, is difficult to say the least for the prime minister. The move will also put pressure on Cameron, who has repeatedly called for a general election, to show his hand. He will have to decide either to support the move by the nationalist parties or abstain on the grounds that he is not going to let minority parties dictate the pace. Clegg would be in a similar position.

    The debate would take place after prime minister’s question time, where the two party leaders can be expected to exchange harsh words after the European election result.
    Elfyn Llwyd, the Plaid Cymru leader, said today: “We aim to see whether David Cameron and Nick Clegg really want to call an election now or just talk about it.

    “We would also argue that the time has come for changes to our democracy and what better way to have a debate than hold a general election. There are a raft of issues from more devolution to Wales, to reforming the House of Lords, the MPs’ expenses issue, that need to be debated by the public.

    “I don’t want this to be seen as a vote of confidence in the Labour government. It should be a vote of confidence in the whole political system in Westminster which has become tarnished by the expenses scandal.”

    (MPs to get chance to call early general election next week‎ )
    The motion will be backed by Alex Salmond, the SNP leader.”

The move will also put pressure on Cameron, who has repeatedly called for a general election, to show his hand. He will have to decide either to support the move by the nationalist parties or abstain on the grounds that he is not going to let minority parties dictate the pace. Clegg would be in a similar position.

    The debate would take place after prime minister’s question time, where the two party leaders can be expected to exchange harsh words after the European election result.
    Elfyn Llwyd, the Plaid Cymru leader, said today: “We aim to see whether David Cameron and Nick Clegg really want to call an election now or just talk about it.

    “We would also argue that the time has come for changes to our democracy and what better way to have a debate than hold a general election. There are a raft of issues from more devolution to Wales, to reforming the House of Lords, the MPs’ expenses issue, that need to be debated by the public.

    “I don’t want this to be seen as a vote of confidence in the Labour government. It should be a vote of confidence in the whole political system in Westminster which has become tarnished by the expenses scandal.”

    (MPs to get chance to call early general election next week‎ )
    The motion will be backed by Alex Salmond, the SNP leader.”

    The big D says:

    With Mr Balls impending move away from the Department for Children, Schools and Families I was wondering about Labour’s record on child welfare.

    Balls’ time in post has been marked by trying to duck blame for the exam marking fiasco and culminating in the Baby Peter scandal.

    If we look at the Labour history we start with Margaret Hodge at Islington. Then there is Lord Robertson and a Scottish town starting with the letter D, next Victoria Climbie. As a diversion you have children’s courts secretly taking children from their parents and gagging any appeal and then the Balls’ achievements.

    You have to ask yourself why children are singled out for special treatment by this administration?

    Half eyed Scottish idiot says:

    O/T but is anyone a weensy bit suspicious about the ComRes poll, given the wide gap between this and all other recent polls?

    9% for “other small parties and independents (i.e. excl Greens, UKIP, BNP and Nats)?

    Did they give a list of such parties to people being polled? Seems highly unlikely!

    Or did they just say ” or any other party or an independent candidate?

    People will understandably be attracted to the idea of voting for some “Martin Bell” character. In reality though come a General Election except maybe in an odd seat, no such choice will be available ( apart from the usual loonies).

    As Labour has already lost most of its non-core support, such questioning is mainly going to affect only potential Tory supporters. So did the Independent slant the questioning to rig the result?

    DISASTROUS ELECTIONS FOLLOWED BY WHAT IS EFFECTIVELY A VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE. HOW MANY SELF SERVING MP’S OF THE 60 ODD MAJORITY WILL HANG ON?

    • 257

      Dear All

      Here is the Press release from the Scottish National Party.

      The SNP and Plaid Cymru have joined forces in an effort to try and force a general election.

      The two parties are to table a motion next week calling for the dissolution of Parliament.

      The motion comes two days before the European and English local elections and in the wake of a damaging series of revelations about MP expenses claims.

      It will be the first time MPs will have a chance to formally express their support for an immediate election and could increase the pressure on the Prime Minister to go to the country.

      SNP Westminster leader, Angus Robertson MP, said:

      “This dissolution motion is about confidence in the whole Westminster political system which has been mired in the expenses scandal.

      “It is not just the UK Government that is out of step with public opinion, but Parliament itself.

      “The only way to sort this mess out is for Parliament to be dissolved and for the people to have their say in a general election. There can be no argument against the entire House of Commons submitting itself to a vote of the people who elected them.

      “This political crisis was created by politicians, and the SNP and Plaid Cymru will give Parliament the chance to give the people their say.

      “The Westminster Government is crumbling, its authority has drained away and with European elections on Thursday the Scottish public have the opportunity with a vote for the SNP to force the pace on a general election.

      “The time has come to allow people to have their say, and what better way to have a debate than hold a general election. There are a raft of issues from more responsibility for the Scottish Parliament, to reforming the House of Lords and the MPs’ expenses issue that need to be debated by the public.”

    Watson is leaving to spend more time with his food allowance. Labour are going to be left with a load of bed blocking has-beens in their few remaining “safe seats”.

    Brown has about as much control of the Labour party as Captain Smith did of the Titanic as it took its nosedive. All the Labour crew are too busy running around to save themselves to spare a thought for tomorrow.

    Labour are heading for at least twelve years in opposition. None of the current lot are up to even being an effective opposition leader. They are all too soiled by the current mess. The same thing happened to the Tories after Major, too many bed blockers in safe seats kept rising talent out in the cold.

    Everyone is always complaining about the Scottish mafia. During the 80’s Labour lost so many seats in England that the Scottish mafia were a major force in Labour with more young “talented” MPs ready to gain promotion. That is why we have been governed by Brown, Darling, Alexander etc.

      That about summarises it. I have to say that when the Tories got beaten in 1997 I was as delighted as the next man. Little did I realise that with a clean sheet, a soaring economy, the most political good-will in a generation that this bunch of imbeciles would contrive to destroy our economy, our civil liberties, our international reputation and the morale of the entire nation.

      It really did take a special group of absolute fuckwits to screw up on such a monumental scale across such a diverse range. If Al Quadea had been phoning them up every day and giving them instructions they couldn’t have managed to fuck it up more completely.

      True weapons of mass destruction.

      Imbeciles. Every man, woman and child (Miliband) of them. Not a statesman amongst them. All wanting to play at being in Parliament. Looking busy. Fucking things up.

      Couldn’t they have stuck to playing ‘Doctors and nurses’. Oh, they tried that too with the result that MRSA soared.

      Utter imbeciles. Incompetent down to the very fibre of their DNA. Years from now scientists will isolate the idiocy gene and it will correlate completely with the DNA of this government, their ministers and their MPs. It will scream from the DNA record that these people were fuckwits de tutti fuckwits.

    In a unfortunate arrogant experiment , the 3 pigs whilst doing a spiv spin gene spicing , they created a wonk version of socialism (cw notes all versions of socialism are wonk but feels this version by nu labour was more ruinous and mind bending than the previous ones), it was going to be the baddest cleverest monster ever created by socialism , dour but fearful , authoritarian but without legitemacey, publishing ecnomic stats but not allowing questions on nationalised debts . they called it the big bad brownshirt .

    One day the big bad brown shirt heard the pigs , wavering with there support for him and feeling his prebyterian concience offended, he bellowed , “I will huff and i will puff and i will blow your opinions down with bogus morality ”

    and so big bad brownshirt drew in a huge breath and blew , and he blew so hard , that the electorate ran off , mps were caught with there fingers in the till , tom watson and damien mcbrides trousers fell down and were then collared for public indecency and draper for not actually attending berkley university.

    the pigs were scared and regretted creating big bad brownshirt all though they felt a bit better that his attack monkeys were in trouble .

    I met Tom Watson when i was at Hull University. He’d been President of the student union the year before i was there and frequently came back to check up on the place, not least because he’d managed to install his then girlfriend as his successor. There were any number of rumours about how he’d fixed the ballot, or that he’d knobbled other prospective candidates. Who knows which if any of these were true. One thing I do know is that the woman in question was a pleasant non-entity, sadly not up to vicissitudes even that minor office, but polite and good natured to everyone she met.

    As for what Tom was like in person, i found him to be arrogant, overbearing, manipulative, aggressive and dishonest. I remember one evening, when he’d popped back up to Hull to oversee the election for the next Labour Student to be elected to be Student Union President, in the middle of the count some poor girl failed to get him the drink he had requested, he turned on her and spend five minutes berating her with such foul language and wholly unmerited spite that she fled the room in tears. He then turned to some friend he brought up to Hull for the day and said proudly “That’s the way you have to treat these Hoons if you want to get anything done.”

    A charming man i have to say. (Oh and yes he was pretty fat even then).

    Cassandra King says:

    The labour party has just one option left now if it wants to retain at least enough seats to remain as the main opposition after the next general election.

    They now realise they must dump Brown for a ‘clean skin’ caretaker PM then wait for the poll bounce however small and call an election when the poll bounce reaches its zenith, it will take nerves of steel because the bounce may only be five percent or so before it falls again.

    They are certain to lose the election but ditching the Jonah may just save enough seats for them to remain a viable oppostion party, if they dont ditch the mental one straight away they are fucked, they will be destroyed completely!

    The question is will they bite the bullet and cut out the cancer that Brown has become? Its all a question of whether the labour party want to be the main oppostion or whether they are content to see themselves occupy the third party position(or worse)currently taken by the libdems.

    Ooooh how they must rue the day they ditched Bliar for a fucking mental retard vote loser!

      Anonymous says:

      What you say is true and makes sense, but most labour MPs probably won’t use that reasoning.

      They want to stay on the gravy train while they still can. By getting rid of Brown they’d be forced into a general election and lose their gravy train money, so they’ll only do it at the last possible point.

      In fact they may not do it at all, because most of them knowing that they’re fucked anyway would rather not go to the bother of having a leadership election; they’ll just take the money for as long as they can and keep the situation as-is.

      Their own perks are far more important to them than either their party or their country.

      At the time of Brown’s coup I’d also said that they’d rue that day, because as much as I disliked Blair, I knew that Brown would be far far worse (I ditched all my shares on that day). Blair was a buffer for Brown’s insanity; Blair helped limit Brown’s mad policies (likewise, Brown limited Blair’s ability to reform things)

      Blair had a lot of negative aspects to his character/policies, but I have to be honest here; if Brown hadn’t been there to hamper blair’s reforms/ideas, I think Blair could actually have been one of the best PMs we’d ever had. In the end, the Iraq war and Brown turned Blair from a potentially historically great PM to a failed PM.

      Blair was never really the PM while Brown was around him. Keeping Brown in his cabinet instead of ditching him on day-1 was the most damaging decision that any PM has ever made in the uk.

      In 1997, in their first day in power, when Brown refused to sanction what Blair wanted to do with reform, Blair should have just said to Brown “I’m the PM, I just got a massive public mandate. You do what I say or you fuck off right now.” He didn’t say that; he put personal niceties above the good of the country.

      On newsnight last night, Paxman couldn’t bring himself to read any of those headlines when doing the paper roundup.

      He just said “there’s this story in most papers. yes, it’s on that paper too.” He never said what the headlines actually were.

      After having a nice cosy chat with good old Roy splattery, where he didn’t question any of the mad labour line that roy was spinning, he then went on to lambast hague as if he was the antichrist, and then had a nice cosy chat with another 2 pro-labour twats.

      Meanwhile, over in nick robinson land, the reason that all the labour MPs are leaving is because the nasty private media has unfairly abused them all over expense claim allegations, poor dears.

    Less than two years ago, when Gordon Brown was in his early months as prime minister, the Spectator published a long article about how he was doing. The rightwing magazine had always been an immovable critic of New Labour, but now it struck a startlingly different note. “The sense of liberation [in Brown] … is palpable,” wrote its editor, Matthew d’Ancona………

    I understand that some “Tory” journalists may have initially supported Brown as Chancellor then as PM, but their opinion counts for shit as they are not wealth creators, just commentators.

    Ask any West Midlands “Thicko” businessman and their opinion of Brown has been consistent since 1997, he is a fucking liability, a vicious arrogant bastard, how fucking dense are journalist who take 12 years to work this out?

His office is just as useless, reports went to them and ended up in a black hole, probably his stomach, and never came out again other than as crap.

    His tanned totty in the office is also completely useless – can we have this tomorrow? when did you know about it? three months ago…. er are you useless miss tanned totty? yes but I match watson.

    still those that turned down the twittercrat role got away lightly… good judgment on their part that they saw through the watson incompetence and spin facade.
