BANG!
GAME ON!!!
We MUST have a general election now. These Hoons cannot conceivably foist yet another fucking unelected Prime Minister on us can they?
WHAT ABOUT THE ELECTORATE? GIVE US OUR SAY YOU TREASONOUS TOWER OF TWATS!!!
Guy from DEMOS (communists) is being given carte blanche to promote the NEW new labour party fight back???
WHAT a shower of shits!
Somebody is imitating me and it isn’t funny.
There he goes again! Mummy!!! Help!!!
Dame Dimblebore’s pre-recorded (by the frit BBC) Question Time looks particularly stupid and uninformed today! :-)
i agree,this week it was a wast of time,events have overtaken the programme
If the beeb can’t do QT live, they might as well not bother.
An hour is a long time in politics these days…
Agree. There’s no point in doing that programme anything other than live. Dimblebum has passed his sell-by.
Very funny that it got showed up for being pre-recorded, I expect this was a result of them being embarrassed over the roasting that Beckett and Co got over expenses the over week.
Can’t broadcast the proles getting uppity, now can we?
The Penguin
But tragically: Gordons not going anywhere – here’s why.
The bastard won’t jump (he’s far too fucking arrogant) and he can’t be pushed (the stupid fucking party rules won’t allow it, even if some NuLab MP’s grow a pair).
So, nothing doing, we’re stuck with the bastard. For another year. For fuck’s sake…
As much as I would like to see him go over the weekend, I think I would get even more pleasure watching him go down with the ship.
W.W.
Too bloody true W.W.
We must not let labour impose yet another dictator on us.
Election or NATIONAL STRIKE! we will NOT take this dictatorship taking the piss!
I don’t agree, Brown is a dead man walking.
Et Tu James Purnell
He will be like Mrs Cromwell and I after a visit to Ikea, totally unable to put a cabinet together.
National Strike? If it were a Tory govt, TUC would have called one! Thanks to Labour, union barons are doing fine. Recession – what recession?
“This moment calls for stronger regulation”
Thank God Purnell has gone. If that is what he believes then good riddance to him and all the others of his ilk. The main worry that I have is that Izza Cameraon will reinforce the 3000+ breaches of our liberty that Labour has legislated through, rather than repeal the vast majority of them.
“Politics: its doesn’t matter who you vote for, the government always gets in.”
The only thing for it is a PEACEFUL protest in every major town and city.
The people MUST speak and DEMAND brown goes.
Once he’s gone we can work out HOW we’re going to rid ourselves, once and for all, of the Fascist/Fabian feckers who have ruined this country and indeed, the wider world.
BE CAREFUL THOUGH – they’re just waiting for an opportunity to lock us down.
They’re saying new leader, set a date for a GE.
YUP!
GENERAL ELECTION WITHIN A MONTH OR A GENERAL STRIKE!!!
GET OUR COUNTRY BACK NOW!!!
you are arthur scargill and I claim my five bags of coal.

++Millipede is going to quit tomorrow, so rumour has it…++
Just heard on Sky News that Minibrain has said that he’s not going to quit – what a completely spineless bastard.Still,I didn’t think it was going to be Purnell who pulled the trigger – didn’t think he had it in him.
Nah millipede just said he is staying put,and throws is support behing cyclops.
He has ruled that out, other Ministers are likely to go. It is worth noting that the Flexible New Deal Providers will be announced on Monday, so he may find himself on one of the board.
He is a troughing hoon anyway and will probably lose his seat to the Lib Dems.
Mr Ned says get our country back. How long will it take to repeal the laws that this repressive government enacted?
We are taxed to the hilt,we are spied upon,we are nannied,we fight wars,we can’t smoke,hunt,drink without some jobsworth breathing down our necks. ENOUGH.
The cowards are all expressing support, but I think much of it is weasel words as the await the election results to see how bad it is.
The Penguin
the latch on the back door clicks again ! brown will be toast by next friday THE END IS NIGH !
It’s not another leader they’re trying to claim, Margaret Beckett is on the Beeb at the moment saying that Brown is the best person to lead Britain(!!!).
Christ, if Brown is the best answer it must be a f***ing stupid question.
If ‘Brown is the best person to lead Britain,’ it doesn’t say much for the competance of others in Labour.
she should be called margaret bucket ! because she needs to wear one over her fuckin’ head
For Goodness sake people, let’s get real,
HE WAS NEVER ELECTED BY ANYONE, THE NATION, OR THE LABOUR PARTY INTO THE JOB OF PRIME MINISTER. HE ASSUMED IT, ALMOST AS OF RIGHT!!
SO WHY WOULD WE REALLY EXPECT HIM TO ACCEPT BEING ELECTED OUT OF IT AGAIN EITHER??
The man is a self deluded megalomaniac. A danger to himself, the Labour Party and most importantly, our precious Country too.
As the results start trickling in, it’s already clear that the longer THE Labour party cower and dither away from finally unseating him, the longer the party will remain in exile from the next election onwards.
Nobody has won the Lottery Jackpot twice, Gordon, so why do you think you will??
He’s called on Brown to go too!
The toys are flying from the pram already, and it’s only been half an hour!
Dropping like flies. :-)
no pack to shuffle just a couple of jokers !
Hoon Purnell said his resignation was for the sake of the Labour Party; no thought of the country! Naked ambition! Twat! Who, with any common sense, would wish to lead the Labour Party? Brown is a twat, but Purnell seems even worse. Keep Brown, kill him later in the GE.
The Nokias are really hitting the wall now.
Carphone Warehouse shares are on the up…
Yesssssssssssssssss. GENERAL ERECTION NOW (as they say in China)
http://denverthen.blogspot.com/2009/06/purnell-steps-up.html
Nope.
A general Election is no nearer than it was last week.
Brown going however most definitely IS.
You don’t need to like it but an Election is no more mandatory than a referendum on the Treaty was. We vote for a Party not a President.
Spoilsport
Soilsport
Not true its at least a week nearer is it not ?
Well done sir! It is indeed.
lol
Yippee!
Hide all the clocks, and hide that mobile phone,
The Cabinet’s told Brown he’s on his own.
Prepare the padded cell; sedate the bum
And let the headshrinks in their white coats come.
The cabinet for James Purnell
Had become a living hell
The PM, (self-appointing)
Will need physically disjointing.
Oxford beckons for the pair of you.
So Brown goes, then what?
We get the next EU stooge to sell us out and ignore our wishes.
Dave has been told to lie low by the EU until after the Irish vote is rigged, then and only then can he come out of his cupboard and play pretend democracy.
was purnell behind the e-mail?
Bang, Bang. You shot me down, Bang Bang. I hit the ground, Bang bang. My baby shot me down.

http://thecrownblogspot.blogspot.com/2009/06/adam-boulton-sky-news-lights-have-gone.html
paddy ashdown (question time) :under blair downing street was a vibrant palace of light with pop stars and famous people coming out ! under brown it is a dark place with a single candle burning in an upstairs window with brown scribbling away with a quil burning the midnight oil great !
It reminds me of a line from the Goon Show;
Come in, come in and warm yourself in front of the roaring candle.
brown get back here and face your own D-DAY !
Its all beginning to look a little bit July 20th 1944. The bomb went off but the madman survived with just his trousers blown off.
The Valkyrie plotters didn’t move fast enough and ended up on piano wire meat hooks. Even the ones who backed out of the coup {David Miliband?} and the ones who had knowledge but weren’t actively involved. {Ed Miliband?}.
The coup has 12 hours to run or Brown will survive. Getting ever more McMental, paranoid and dragging the country to ruin.
Who the fuck is James Purnell?
The bloke with shares in Photoshop.
Bang! Sounds like he just popped out somewhere.
Left his mark though.
brown is that annoying turd stuck in the u’bend no matter how many times you flush it just wont go but eventually it will ! my guess is by next friday
Labour MP for Bristol South Dawn Primarolo remained defiant, but said
“But from speaking to people on the doorstep, as I have, it’s quite clear that people are saying we’ve got a Prime Minister who’s got strength, determination and intelligence and Gordon Brown will lead us out of this recession”.
Guido – we thought you’d got lost. Who’s next? Come on….
Spectator reckons the Gurning Banana Boy is next.
and that will be among the best news yet.
Bye bye Milibanana, slip away quietly, never return you teenaged political masquerade.
Agree. He and Purnell are buddies. Going to shape up as a Miliband v. Johnson scrap.
Communist vs Communist – great, they will get to play – who can sell us out to the EUSSR and remove all our rights the fastest!
As was said about Iran v Iraq war – “can’t both lose?”
Flint backed Brown earlier today. Will she change her mind ?
Now it’s a numbers game.
Will they get the 70 from the backbenches ?
They now have a Cabinet member front man and the results still feel as bad as everyone thought (but they still have to be counted) so the probability is yes.
She backed him tonight. She’s showing how loyal she can be to impress the next leader.
promised a big jobbie by Brown
Yeah that’s what I meant sorry.
What I mean is will she change her mind again tmorrow or soon after ?
She’s a woman. She can change her mind at any time and it’ll all be a man’s fault.
Plus it’s been reported they have 75 and rising.
Whip withdrawn means they may only need 69 – 20% of PLP
No she’ll just deny it and flutter her eyelashes at the next dear leader.
it is highly amusing to observe all the tory trolls dribbling with excitement.
Alan Johnson will have a honeymoon period of six months and then will name the date of the general election.
the conservative party has no manifesto and few policies.
it is not prepared for an election and seems intent on trying to pull a fast one on the electorate. dodgy dave is just a fucking chancer really.
note too tory hq: get your policies together, write a manifesto, explain the manifesto to the voters and then you will be ready for a general election.
and then we will have the hung parliament that the country so badly needs.
Thick as Pigshite,
You are a complete and utter LOON.
the conservative party has no manifesto and few policies
Which is a damn sight more than NuLabour has at this present time. All your previous pronouncements are bollox so I give little credence to your Alan Johnson prediction.
Save us from the superficial analysis, you’re far more credible when you’re effin and blindin like a chav.
and you are a cripple!
doctor mick, you are a child killer apologist. you were crowing about Palestinian children being murdered by the israeli child murdering unit.
I will take no lectures from you, you fucking infanticidist.
fuck off cretin.
Niiice. That ranks slightly below ‘I know you are but what am I?’ on the list of great comebacks.
Johnson and Miliband will rip the party to shreds!!!
Conservatives have no policies? They have a hell of a lot more going for them than labour.
You want to debate polices? SIMPLE AND OBVIOUS ANSWER, CALL THAT GENERAL ELECTION!
Your lot will not DARE, you are all chicken shit cowards. CALL THE FUCKING ELECTION NOW!!!
THE PEOPLE OF BRITAIN DEMAND IT!
How the hell can you seriously expect the nation to vote for a Labour party that cannot go for more than 2 years without collapsing and tearing themselves apart!!!
This is the SECOND time labour has collapsed in two years. They are FUCKING USELESS!!!
bad magic?
more like bad English you fucking sp@stic!
The manifesto is whatever the EU tell them it is, everything else will be a lie that they will not deliver.
er, ned, have you got alzheimer’s?
call a general election and then tell the country what you intend to do during a short election campaign?
are you on crack? you sound just like a dodgy fucking crackhead looking for a quick hit.
won’t get fooled again ned.
fuck off idiot.
thankyou.
See, that was slightly better. So endeth the lesson. Next week: irony.
Thick as thieves, you still support this disfunctional party of fuckwits and have the gall to call me an idiot?
Coming from you that is a compliment.
You braindead freak.
At least I am on the side of a vast majority of the British people, on the side of democracy, decency, honesty and good government.
You and any other labour supporting lunatic cannot say likewise. Just like you cannot give one reason to vote for a party that has collapsed TWICE inside one term in office.
So YOU FUCK OFF!
“so endeth the lesson”
you have obviously been reading (and copying) my posts, well done retard.
when you plagiarise it is best to add a slight variation.
fucking hell, people attack the heroic thick as thieves at the same time as ripping of his lines.

I suppose if one is to learn then one should learn from a master of the art.

you are a tory you c’unt. don’t talk to me about the interests of the country.
that is my only concern.
now fuck off to bed grandad.
cocoa for grandad!
My mistake Thicky, I needn’t have parodied you – you are already a self-parody. Even now I have no idea what your objectives are, you seem to have no rational aim or ever seem to get any closer to achieving any kind of meaningful argument or statement.
You are rabid tonight, more so than usual, but what is your point? For all your heroism and delusions of grandeur you do not have anyone in your corner because your position is inherently insane.
the heroic thick as thieves
Wow. As pathetic a loser as Gordon Brown is, it’s sobering to remember that there are people out there more worthy of pity and contempt.
Thick as thieves, you have accused me of being a communist and a tory in the last hour. You are as wrong on BOTH issues as you are on the belief in what is best for the country.
You, like your labour supporting lunatics, are incapable of presenting anything like a rational argument. You contradict yourself and make a complete fool of yourself in the process you dribbling bafoon.
I am NOT a tory or a communist. I am a fiercely independent supporter of British Sovereignty and democracy. Both issues utterly alien to the Labour party and their clearly clinically delusional idiotic supporters.
You claim to care for the country whilst simultaneously being completely opposed to what a vast majority of what the public actually want.
The majority want to see labour slaughtered and they want a referendum on the EU.
You are so wrong on EVERY assertion you make. You are completely wrong, so YOU fuck off, you are a traitor to our Country.
Bloody Hell, the barrel is being scraped! Is this the best they can do, dig up the brain dead tosspot Thick As Shit to pollute the blogosphere as NuLiebore thrash around in it’s death throes?

That is the typical rabid anti-democratic logic of the clinically insane labour supporters.
Answer the question… WHY SHOULD ANYONE SUPPORT A LABOUR PARTY THAT CANNOT EVEN HOLD ITSELF TOGETHER FOR 2 YEARS?
There has never been a party collapse TWICE in one term.
THEY ARE FUCKING USELESS.
Only clinically insane people would support these pathetic fuckwits.
You sack of shit thick as thieves, you are NO man!
I think I’ve got a semi

happy to help.
oh, and if you aren’t going to smoke that bag of skunk I don’t suppose there’s any chance of…….
please don’t start crying ned for fucks sake.
Incapable of answering the question then Thick? Why should ANYONE vote for a party that has uniquely collapsed TWICE in only just two years whilst in power?
You would have to be clinically insane to support this bunch of fuckwits.
Not only are they utterly inept insofar as with a 60+ seat majority they STILL cannot hold themselves together, but they are profoundly anti-democratic too.
They and labour supporters are CHICKEN SHITS.
If you believe that your party has the answers, and are correct, go for that election!
YOU DAREN’T! YOU ARE ALL COWARDS!
Love you.
tat – I am a cripple… and you provide me with a lot of laughs… actually aren’t even labour thieves smarter? (Well, maybe not…). Cue drivel/rant/teenage threats/lack of bantering finesse… etc
ned, you are confused.
I think people should vote independent.
but I can understand how upsetting it must be for you to know that Alan Johnson will be PM.
get used to it.
brown is the most boreing bastard on the planet he could talk his own glass eye to sleep !
Labour has no money for an election campaign. As a company the party would be trading when “insolvent”. Illegal under UK law.
They should go insolvent. They’ve earned it; they deserve it. It’ll be good for Britain (they’ve bankrupted it twice in my own lifetime).
I’ve been a self-employed twidgel smirker for 67 years and I’ve never heard language like it. Scolio pongus!

Apparently he is leaving because he’s a crook. If not that then its to spend more time with his family.
A lot of people are suddenly doing that. Is it Christmas ?
Another few resignations and it might well be Christmas for everyone.
They may do – but I reckon he’d go in a different way if that was the reason. Unless he’s trying to preempt it from the moral high ground.
If Purnell becomes PM they will need to beef up the Downing Street cleaning team, to judge by that shithole he left behind him, which looked like an army of tramps had been dossing in it.
Yes, I fully expect the Smear Machine to be in full “Get Purnell” mode.

Purnell won’t get it. He doesn’t even really think he will.
But he has more Balls than the rest of them. Even the chipmunk.
Behind Miliband maybe?
Better behind than in front of him!!!
Possible. But those who wield the knife like Purnell are more likely to be avoided as they carry some opprobrium while almost everyone secretly wanted them to do it.
And with them at the helm (another ‘Deal’) – even rightier capitalist approach to finance, even leftier socialist approach to ‘freedom’. Hopefully I’ll be living permanently abroad by then.

That was the hint. He and Purnell are thinking of the future. Poisoned chalice to someone nearer retirement (Johnson?), Tories flounder though a protracted recession, an electorate with the memory of a goldfish, they shine up their armour… ta-da!
Spot on Dack! They’ll let anyone else play with the broken toy that is the Labour Party for a while (couple of years perhaps?). Knowing full well that the next election is lost, they’re savvy enough to be thinking five years ahead, or maybe ten. Hopefully fifteen.

Could be an interesting night. He went before the polls had even shut. I wonder who’ll be left in the cabinet come morning? It’s a shame someone hasn’t produced a sort of “cabinet nativity tree”, where the empty seats open up as the rats jump ship, until there’s just one left…..
I do hope that Brown carries on, though. It is essential for the destruction of Labour that he stays.

One of the worst of these is Caroline Flint. Did you see her raving like a lunatic on Sky a few minutes ago?
How did a ranting old slapper like that ever get a place in the government of our country?

the bright side of this is that if wielding the knife irreperably damages Purnell’s “career”…it’s no loss whatsoever to the nation. But if this works, give the fucker a peerage.

I second that emotion.
Fantastic! Whos next then?
Caroline Flint must feel like a complete idiot tonight.
Just minutes after pledging her loyalty to Brown (in exchange for a promotion) Purnell sticks the knife into him and ensures that Brown won’t be Labour leader in a months time.
Flint has jumped on board a sinking ship.
My thoughts exactly !!!
she could always get her tits out for the lads I suppose
A month’s time??? This fokker won’t last a week, let alone a month!
A Johnson coronation is still very unlikely but not impossible.
If a contest happens it will be very quick indeed but those expecting an Election immediately after are adorable.
Until they reform the system (and it clearly DOES need changing now) then there is absolutely no Constitutional reason why a New Labour Leader needs to dissolve Parliament. We vote for a Party not a President. That’s the system.
The public might want an Election though some might want to see what the new guy is like for a while, but those are the facts.
you know nuffink you dopey c’unt.
Freudian projection yet again Thick as Pighshite.
totally non-plussed by your comment.
I suppose the freudian interpretation of that would be:
YOU ARE A BORING C’UNT.
I am independent and I am for a hung parliament.
shouldn’t you be fighting new labour trolls instead of getting your head bashed in by me.
you cretin.
you should be part of a hung parliament…
I want a well hung parliament.
Fuck off thick as pigshit.
What is factually incorrect about what I said ?
I repeat we vote for a Party NOT a President.
Go back to CBeebies juvenile and see if they have Politics for beginners.
Adn in case anyone misunderstands, I WANT an Election as soon as possible. Next week would do me nicely.
But the realities need pointing out. We can’t always get what we want.
You may be right – but I think there’ll be too much pressure to resist it. Maybe Labour will want out – I would. I also doubt the Tories will want ‘in’ for a while.
you can’t but I can.
oh well.
Er, no: in a general election we vote for the individual we think will best represent us at Westminster. This means that we can put a face to the name and have a local target for feedback. Party membership might almost be irrelevent.
Do you want politics where you can’t vote against an individual and where ranking on the party list becomes the aim and objective of the aspiring politico? I don’t think it would solve any of our problems …
scorched earth,
don’t worry, everyone understands that you are a total wanker.
“Wholly, necessarily and exclusively” er, YES.
Is there a Constitutional requirement for a new Leader of the Labour Party to hold an Election. Yes or No ?
“Party membership might almost be irrelevent.” Except it isn’t and you know it. If we vote for a Local representative and he stands under a Party banner then the Leader of the Party with the most votes become the Prime Minister.
It doesn’t matter what we want or what would be nice for Democracy because THAT is irrelevant until the system is reformed as that IS the system. And can you think of a better reason for it to be reformed now ?
As for Thick as Pigshit,
I posted this. Note the time.
Scorched Earth says:

“there is absolutely no Constitutional reason why a New Labour Leader needs to dissolve Parliament.”
Then you posted later..
“thick as thieves says:
June 4, 2009 at 11:16 pm
I was speaking constitutionally.”
So it only took you half an hour to read my post and cotton on ? Duh!
Piss off back to CBeebies little twat.
Anyone who bleats that we should stop picking on him because he is a “juvenile” shouldn’t be on an adult Political site.
It’s sweet that you managed to work out how to use mummy and daddy’s PC but they will be back soon to make you a nice bowl of Jelly.
But people do love laughing at your embarrassing twattery.
So keep it up as we all like a bit of clueless comic relief.
Buh-bye Thick as Pigshit.
Unfortunately your right, we used to vote for an individual to be our representative, the various rosettes were an indication as to where they were likely to spend your money and you voted accordingly, but you knew it was just an indication and your representative would vote according to the wishes of their constituents.
Now, with a few exceptions, the Rosette is all you get.
Gordon is a flawed genius?
Don’t you mean Gordon is genetically flawed?
Sir- He could well be 70% Brassicaceae and 30% Quercus. We could be doomed.
Prof. blah blah etc
I’d like to floor the twat!
He’ll be fucking floored tomorrow when he sees the pile of resignation letters on his desk.
Gordon is floored, genius.
How did a thick, gormless cow like Geraldine Smith get to be an MP?
She’s got nice udders.
Some thick twats voted it in.
Yes ?
They are at it like cat and dog. Whatsername from the NW – cocklepicking woman – on the skyphone howling ‘disloyalty!’.
The Flint makes herself look a stupid Hoon. Strap in, brace yourselves – it might be ugly but it will be fun.
Toenails looks a bit dumbstruck.
Toenails looked like his pet dog had died. Toenails lost all credibility sticking his cock up Brown’s arse every night for the last few years.
Paddy looking good on Qtime… Baroness Ginger looks rather silly
Baroness Ginger Minger – I’d rather have a wank than risk that.
The Penguin
Rumour is Milliband is going to quit tomorrow
Both of him?
No, just the banana
If both the Millipedes make a run for it that’s a lot of legs goin like the clappers.
Who’s yer money on?
looks like Gordon’s cabinet will consist of;
Andy Murray
Susan Boyle
Gaylord Mandelson
The Bollocks duo
And the McCanns
You forget Alan Sugar!!
Jade Goody will be present via satellite.
Gissa job !! I was more popular than Gordon
Oh Sugar Sugar
mmmmmmmmmmm
and J K Rowling
JK Rowling —————–Minister for Culture, the Arts and the Lottery .
What one could do with the Lottery – Let’s turn it into taxation and funding for the NHS!!!!
Oh sorry -lottery funding for the NHS – already done!!!!!!!
JKRowling – Sugar- SuBo-Nick Robsinson for Cabinet Ministers and Lords – Have to wait for tomorrow for that!!!!!
Alex Fergusson
did the Krankies turn him down as well? Fantaba… something incoherent…
Mandelson counts for two – his rent boy votes as well (But he daren’t go on the Tube)
Don’t forget Fiona.
Pantsdown pwning some Baroness on QT over FoI
Does anybody else think Purnell looks like the fat wanker off the Nationwide adverts?
Michael Barrett ?
Fuck off bimbo x .
You ain’t fit to do a keyboard.
Michael Barrett ?
I’m not available for comment.
Isn’t that Shakin Stevens’ other name?
Young Gladstone.
Not for new accounts.
Does this sum it all up?
Excellent!
Fuck off Max
Purnell has proved tonight that he has more bottle than David Miliband, Straw, Hutton, Harman, Benn, and Hoon put together.
They all want Brown out, but Purnell is the only one with the guts to come out and and say so publicly.
Johnson wants Brown out too and so does Denham but they haven’t got the bottle to say so in public.
you haven’t even got the bottle to post a name!
DOH you sp@stic!
Young sir,
You need to do some growing up.
Might I suggest that signing up for Service in Her Majesties Armed Forces may give you the self esteem & respect you so obviously lack?
Live life like a man, not a troll.
Does it matter if “he” post a name ? does ur birth certificate say thick as thieves……or just thick as pig shit ?
ah, join the army so I can be sent by bent politicians to spill my blood for afghan dope farmers?
you’re having a larf you c’unt.
oh, almost forgot: sp@sticus, fuck off.
there, that’s better.
Love you lots.
thanks dude.
Live life like a man, not a troll.
The wielder of the knife never wins.
Purnell showed bottle but he was used by those who would have a far more realistic prospect of the job.
Good Purnell… the slow blade penetrates the shield… but look down. We’d have joined each other in death. However, you did seem to finally get in the mood.
Superb analogy! Kudos Gurneyman.
The Tory Party learned this lesson long ago and it seems to have finally been learned by Labour.
Thatcher wielded the knife on Heath.
Fair point.
But Heath never took her seriously and paid dearly for that mistake.
More accurate, most of the time the knife wielder pays a heavy price.
He probably doesn’t want to be leader now, but maybe next but one, or two.
W.W.
Nice Gurney Halleck One. When can we take the water that is ours?
The man without emotions is the one to fear.
A world is supported by four things
the learning of the wise,
the justice of the great,
the prayers of the righteous and
the valor of the brave.
But all of these are as nothing without a ruler who knows the art of ruling.
# A large populace held in check by a small but powerful force is quite a common situation in our universe. And we know the major conditions wherein this large populace may turn upon its keepers: When they find a leader. This is the most volatile threat to the powerful; they must retain control of leaders.
# When the populace recognizes its chains. Keep the populace blind and unquestioning.
# When the populace perceives a hope of escape from bondage. They must never even believe that escape is possible!
Hydraulic despotism: central control of an essential energy such as water, electricity, fuel, medicines, melange . . . Obey the central controlling power or the energy is shut off and you die!
Walk without rhythm and you won’t attract the worm
He’s young ( how old is he ? ),ambitious and probably thinks his turn will come again in 15/20 years,or however long it takes for this country to forgive or forget.
bloody l*vingstone on soozenight. again. its all the plot by the labour right blah blah blah. smearing away.
Decent chap though Purnell, never wouldve guessed he’d be the first of the cascade.
He’s not the first…
And who the hell who is rational would want to be a in Goverment led by a MADMAN ??!
The government has been led by madmen for over a decade..
decent?
CGT avoiding shit more like
Pay it back Purnell, or sign onto your dole policy
Left his flat in a fucking shit state, troughed like a pig, stole phot-opportunity he was late for – he’s a fucking lying thieving Hoon just like the rest but with added sideburns.
The Penguin
ANY EXIT POLLS PLEASE ?
Nothing anywhere.
Can’t think why ……
Waiting for the postman…..
I’ll be running the country soon.
Shame I have to go to work tomorrow, I want to rubberneck at this car crash all night :)
Purnell told The Sun before Gordon, lol
Caroline Flint has made a complete fool of herself tonight and showed how completely out of touch she is.
She would have been better off staying at home and squeezing her blackheads.
She apparently spent all day dithering and trying to decide.
Looks like you should have spent longer dear.
Perhaps a phone around your Cabinet colleagues would have helped ?
Her first announcement – both feet in her mouth.
Another Cabinet Minister whose Judgement is questionable ?
Surely not.
To be kind…
She is an overmade up, overpromoted and very silly MILF…
Should never have been a Minister..
About the level of a Junrior School teacher…FFS
I’d say she’d just about make teaching assistant.
one that gets the boot for letting the boys feel her up in the stationary cupboard
Not in my school.
Fair comment, but I’d still like her on the cover of Nuts magazine.
How dare you malign Junior School Teachers in that way. Most of my 6th formers could have strung together a more coherent and believable stream of lies that she managed on Sky News earlier.
Not Cover her with your nut juice?
She was such a low flier her civil service nickname was HOVERCRAFT.
All that hot air blowing under her skirts…
Still, if she wanted a position in the cabinet…
I’D GIVE ‘ER ONE .
what, with your strap- on?
why does everyone keep talking bout her blackheads??
This is bound to be a New Labour initiative.
There will be a crackdown. Mark my words.
Exfoliate,exfoliate,exfoliate.
Labour grassroots activists on Radio 5 calling for Brown to step down.
Are there any Labour activists left ?
Just a couple of shady scousers on the make.
Alastair Darling – the Ultimate Eunuch!!!
Davd Milliband – still wanting to be, as you said, Foreign Minister under Gordon for the next FOUR years?????????????
Millibrand is AWOL
Typical….
I think Millibrand (what brand ?) is on maternity leave right now…
Sure he’s not just had a tooth or two out? :-)
Darling,the Badger.
Badgers are being culled because of TB. Well he’s gone so you would think they are safe.
Fraid not now the cull is,yep,you guessed it,because of GB.
Geraldine Smith does indeed have great boobs
She has an *awesome* chin.
Gordon Brown. I warned you yesterday that the public wanted blood but you didn’t listen.
Let me repeat it.
The public want blood. The public wants your blood. When the public are finished with your blood they will want someone else’s blood.
Give the public what they want. Give the public your blood. Then go and find a new career.
Ceaucescu..
Any light in Downing Street ?
Mandy must have turned them off in fear…
I don’t want his blood. Very very nasty it would be.
…..good to see kens outraged over expenses. pity he wasnt more outraged when he was running London.
.. and giving it to any crook that ticked the right boxes – as is the unsubstantiated rumour.
He does not get them anymore. I do
Just listening to ‘Hammer to Fall’ by Queen. Kind of appropriate….
This will be messy. They can’t even manage a coup smoothly and competently.
Am I tiresome, or what ?
Who are you please ?
I just looked up Wiki and it says I’m a ginger “Leader of the House of Lords” .. that’s who I am, but I will go down in history as an arch Labour Party Apologist so I need a right good hanging too.
Your Royall Baroness, you seem to have about as much personality as an old pair of Paddy Pantsdown’s sandals. Be gone, you horrible old battleaxe.
and where exactly is your constituency darling?
Yes you are my dear, have you been drinking?
She’s got the Labour ’swivel eye’ disease. Where’s the nearest lampost?
You look like an anorexic Penelope Keith in a Hazel Blears wig.
With Esther Rantzen’s dentures…
But the point is all these failed New Labour MP’s can apply to the Baroness’s club and be welcomed in to get on board the next gravy train.
She was crap.by the way,on QT.
Where’s Gordon (Our very own Wally)???????
Being held down on his bed by Mandy and some funny toyboy I think…
An end worse than death…
Mark Oaten?
I hope Brown hangs on for a bit longer…another few weeks of his incompetence and Labour will be finished for good.
Err, we’ve had those ‘few weeks’ – I reckon they are destroyed for a good long time. Forever would be ideal of course, but one step at a time.
Nah. I want Brown to have his disaster of a reshuffle, and then have to reshuffle his reshuffle as it falls apart. Moving Balls to Chancellor would be a dream -the Government wouldn’t last long enough time for him to mess up the economy even more, but the hatred Balls would engender in the public and even his own party would be terminal for the Labour party long term.
No resurrection for Labour please. I want them gone for good.
Surely you mean ‘incontinence’.
Oh yes, there will be blood.
Dirty Tricks Brown will be hung from the Mock Tudor Labour beams purchased at our expense…
In front of the People…
…as they eat cake!
Baaaaaaahhhhh
Mooooooo. Eat me.
Liam Byrne on newsnight just now said a change of Labour leader would necessitate a GE…
Has he learned nothing from “Thick as”?
Expect to hear that linerepeated by Mandy and the Brownites as it is the only thing they can think of to try and scare off a contest.
I think thye ought to check what Lily Allen thinks before rushing into snap decisions
Thelabour MPs are terrified by the idea of a GE…
and the more they resist the idea the fewer votes they will get in the end
This is the end of the British Labour Party
SUperb…
To be played as Gordon Leaves 10 Downing Street!
I fear Mr Byrne is in the soup.
Yes, but he will have left detailed instructions as to when he is in the soup and at what temperature.
So that was a threat to the bulk of Labour MPs.
Back anyone-but-Gordon and you put your job at risk.
Go on, make my day.
It came across more as a statement of fact than a threat, but was typing on here at the time. Will have to check on iPlayer tomorrow.
IMHO a GE ASAP would be VG.
Take more Milk and Alcohol.
How can we counter knife crime, sir? Fuckin stab em up. Over.
Broons going going going………………maybe tomorrow any bets gone, well Iv’e going to open the bubbly hopefuly tomorrow. Next week,no! sod it IT WILL BE TOMORROW..
Fuck it Ken the red is on tv I feel sick. patronising piece of shit.
Boy are they are desperate….. Going to hit the sack. Things can only get better.
Labour is finished Wopeeeeee!
” I don’t need a lecture on sleeze from you Ken’ Fantastic stuff.
Stick to Morning TV, Fiona.
You give stupid blonde bints a bad name.
She is totally, utterly DIRE.
Without the autocue and Andrew Castle working her like a glove puppet she’s an abject waste of airhead.
She aspires to being dire.
She was just there to make Royall look comparatively less stupid, a big ask, but she managed it.
Agree.The pair of ‘em a bad advert for women and politics.
OK. Gordon has to go France to the D-day Commemorations on Saturday and stand on a podium with the Canadian PM- the French President and the President of America.
How are they, and their Advisers, going to feel about that??
Prince Charles might be more forgiving – though he should remember – We and the British and Canadian Vets will not.
Guido – modded again!!!!!!!! – over G and D-Day .
I surrender!!! – I give up!!!! –
I just hope that Gordon is going to say the same thing within the next 24 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Modded and shoved to the bottom of the blog – take it as a compliment nell
The only Labour politicians who have come out in support of Brown tonight have been old, past-it Ken Livingstone, ludicrous old fart Frank Dobson, and screeching dumbo Geraldine Smith.
Not a single cabinet minister has spoken for Brown since Purnells resignation. That tells you all you need to know about Brown’s chances of survival.
Liam Byrne did – and made a complete twat of nimself in the process.
On Newsnight just now:
Siobhan McDonagh (Lab) praising Purnell as ’so brave’.
Nick Raynsford (Lab) calling for Brown to step down. McDonagh agreed.
They did NOT have a Lab backbencher supporting Brown… couldn’t No.10 find anyone to put up?
Zilchtown. Maggie’s drawers.
Caroline Flint is crying in her beer for him too
Not forgetting Malik, our highly respected (and suspended) Justice Minister. I reckon the fudge packer committee is the least of his problems.
Not one of them with any dignity, honour or clue.
Barry Sheerman was fantastic on BBC 2 after this broke – measured, calm and matter of fact. Livingstone turned up the volume and then tried to smear him but Sheerman managed to get the last word – along the lines of-
“I’ll take no lessons about sleaze from you Ken. Sleaze is the reason you are no longer Mayor of London”
Marvellous..
In all the frenzy re Brown’s fate, there seems to be an unfortunate undercurrent of admiration for the Cabinet and other ministers who have resigned, but we should remember that they have all personally shown themselves to be complete lightweights in office. In addition Smith, Blears and Purnell in particular have played fast and loose with the Additional Costs Allowanc system- and should not be let off the hook for those offences. All three should resign as MPs and await the results of any more formal investigation of their actions.
And Brown got us to pay for his Sky Sport and flipped his second home partly to improve potential tax position – he has no moral authority to lecture anyone.
‘Past it’s’ who are hoping – Anonymous – by their fawning support – that they will b
e offered, in this last chance saloon, a cabinet post .
What a shower!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me Me Me !
I’m over here and I’m not resigning.
But am I incompetent enough for you ?
I’ve shown my loyalty to my “friends” so why not Me ?
Me too, Nell!!
What’s the problem Guido, aren’t we allowed to remind the punters that the Gorgon will have to leave the Bunker to go to Arromanches on Saturday? Is it contrary to national security or something?
We’re standing by ready to change the locks on No.10 so he can’t get back in…
David Miliband to resign tomorrow:
http://www.spectator.co.uk/coffeehouse/3670948/rumour-david-miliband-to-resign-friday.thtml
As expected
Millibrand leads his troops from BEHIND…
What a coward…
Milliband shot his bolt too soon and made a fool of himself at the Conference and has lost much support since. Johnson is still the favourite. Unless he has a bizarre change of heart ?
Yes Please – But why has he taken so long???!!!
He has already said he has no interest in UK Govt – that he wants to go to the UN – so what has held him back????????
Good spot
This Week – 11.35 pm tonight – with Andrew etc should be good!
Uncork y’BlueNun
Love her or loathe her, Diane Abbot generally has some good inside Zanu info.
Try a Tesco’s South African Red!!
Don’t any of you southerners drink beer any more? No wonder the country’s f*cked.
Newsnight has to rush out it’s Election Countdown, “during the coming months we will be talking to…” worried that the money they have spent on some talking heads will be wasted if the election happens next month.
King Richard III –
A Horse!! A Horse!! My Kingdom for a Horse!!
Wrong King,surely,Nell ?
Richard II is the one who cut off Jack Straw’s head during the peasant revolt.
What the fuck is that dipstick Fiona Phillips doing on Question Time? Apparently she was a TV presenter of some sort – big deal. My God, shes a fucking airhead – every time she opens her mouth pure drivel!
Cameron must table a no confidence motion asap.
The Nats have already tabled a motion for a GE next week that’s going to be supported by the Tories and LDs. Only will need a few Labour abstentions…
He won’t have the cojones our Boy Dave…
He is already shell shocked…
This is rought stuff you know…
Not for the faint hearted…
If he comes back waving a piece of paper in his hand, the hard lads will replace him. The Tory party has always been more ruthless than any other when it comes to leadership change.
Newsnight have launched their General Election coverage tonight. Saying it’s a countdown for the ‘next 12 months’, yeah right…
As in the lyrics of “Queen”
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, Im gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust
Now we just need Gordon to visit another Queen, and hand in his resignation
Jon Sopel reporting on Five Live that he has spoken to a friend of Millipede who doesn’t think that he is resigning. This is all just speculation, of course, but it would be very disappointing now if we don’t see more resignations.
On the other hand, perhaps he’s doing a Purnell and keeping it all under wraps so he doesn’t get leaned on by Broon’s attack dogs…
No. 10 will be all over Miliband to find out his intentions. Must have been some interesting calls – now he’ll either stay at the FO or do a Purnell. He’s got some leverage.
Liam Byrne saying on Newsnight that they shouldn’t change leader because it would trigger a general election and that is apparently a bad thing. For whom Liam? The country or just your fucking party?
THE PARTY
Always THE PARTY
Well, the rest of us are about to have a party – but you lot won’t be there.
Yes and we have a very strict door policy. We’ve decided to turn Parliament back into a Gentlemen’s Club and not the tart’s or fence’s parlour it’s been since ‘97. Got that?
Byrne reminds me of snivelling little corporate IT Heads of in blue chip organisations, one in particular, whose sense of self importance is in sharp contrast to their complete lack of experience, common sense and integrity. Empty vessels who creep around whispering in the right ears and stabbing the right backs. Nasty little shit.
And he looked so short beside Vince Cable and the Tory this morning. We’ve been ruled by evil degenerate dwarves. It was like that John Cleese, Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett sketch.
hehehe !
Who is that shrill labour house of lords harridan they have on QT? If she’s the best Zanulabour can provide, they have no chance.
Oh and I see the word went out after the other week when labour were shouted down by the audience…this week there are extra labour reinforcements in the crowd to provide applause instead of jeers.
The BBC’s bias is dumbfounding…
It is really at the level of Radio Moscow…
IT MUST BE ABOLISHED AT THE SAME TIME AS LABOUR…
Note how when Paddy Pantsdown had Baroness Redhead on the ropes over the expenses privacy votes, Dimbletwerp hastilly went to the audience.
Yeah, but it was like a boxer on the ropes with no way of defending himself.
It was a mercy call – I think everyone was aware of her discomfort as she sat there catching flies with her mouth frozen wide open.
Amateur.
As for Fiona chattering and humming away as everyone tries to make serious points. Is she beginning to show the first signs like her father ?
Ratsniffer
Baroness Royal and she’s the leader of the HoL FFS!!!
Baroness Royall – ghastly red witch. The usual post-menopausal, mad-eyed, Lefty bitch who wears her politics and her sex like two enormous shoulder chips, screaming everyone down. Leader of the House of Lords would you believe – not fit to run a clothes-line.
Obviously brought her own clapping posse with her.
I truly hadn’t realised how low we’d come until Dimbleby introduced her.
What the FUCK has been going on???
Purnell resigns. Frank Dobson made an utter fool of himself live on air
If it is available on listen again, do so. It shows Dobson as being the puffling, piffling fool that he is.
Iain Dale did not make Dobson look like a fool. But he did direct a masterful performance by Dobson.
Excellent: many thanks.
I believe it is time for Her Majesty to call on all Englishmen good & true to storm the bunker & terminate the jock junta with extreme prejudice.
We stand ready Ma’am.
Terminate them with extreme prejudice.
Can’t she just dissolve parliament and call a General Election?
I’m sure Prince Charles will let it be known to her prime minister her intentions on Saturday after taking the D-Day salute.
Watch how fast the brave republican suddenly becomes an ardent monarchist when his fate’s hanging by a thread. Too late.
From his resignation letter.
“The party was here long before us, and we want it to be here long after we have gone. We must do the right thing by it.”
That a fairly open admission that he thinks Brown could wipe out the Labour Party like the Liberals were after WW1
Note:
Doing the right thing BY THE PARTY.
Not a word about the electorate.
No concerns about the country.
Just THE PARTY
Wipe all the b*stards out.
The Party, their only concern!
Absolutely, wipe the bastards out.
They deserve it
If you squander the country’s wealth at the rate of 1% per year, it will take a century to bust the country.
Brown has been going through our money rather faster than that
to the tune of Dion
they call me the Squanderer
Yeah the Squanderer
Gordon Brown Gordon Brown Gordon Brown
How’s that Downing Street resign petition getting on?
Dave Miliband to go tomorrow.
Brown is finished. He’ll be out by the end of the month.
Brown determined take the whole party down with him.
And the whole country if need be…
Father has just returned from his civic duty manning a polling station since 7am.
Turnout 153 out of 850 non-postal votes, a wopping 18% turnout.
Now you know that operation Swine Flu is a success.
At my polling station, by 7pm they reckon they had 35% turnout, inc postal (euro-election only, no council elections here)
256 – out by the end of tomorrow more likely
Ken Livingstone stated in the Gradian 2 months ago ‘Labour will lose voters if Brown stays’
what’s changed Ken? I mean Lord Ken of Livingstone ahhhhhh okies
That’s interesting. Shame the folk on Newsnight weren’t as sharp as you.
This reminds me of putting a ferret down a rabbit burrow.
Little furry feckers bolting in all directions and ever more to come..
Don’t you see some sights when you don’t have a gun handy
with all thats been going on this week, why is QT dedicating time to questions about reality tv?
Bread & Circuses – nothing to see here. Don’t let the plebs bother their little heads about all this grown-ups’ stuff.
Sky is getting every one of Brown pimps on to whore for him.
Purnell has gone!!! – Still trying to cope with the euphoria of that!!!
Is Flint going to follow??
Will Darling now deliver the goods??? – Or will he try to hide??? Remember Darling whatever you do – history is going to remember you for it!!!!
More importantly what is Gordon going to do now???
Oh Gordon !!!!What History is going to do for you!!!!!
i guess you didn’t see flint on sky with her nose right up browns arse, to the point of touching his kidneys
She’s not still pitching for promotion – Is She???
Darling- are you going to do the decent thing and ditch Gordon and his pansy ?????????? Pansies in any case are past their best in May.
She’ll have to get past me first!!
Ooops.
Och aye mee wee chum will be joining be shortly.
‘I dreamed a dream of times gone baaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy…..
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never diiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyy
I dreamed that Gord would be forgiving…..’
Minister for 16 point font has spoken, shutup shutup shutup!
Gordon has issued a statement. business as usual
++ Breaking ++ : Milliband is the next to grow a pair.
Rumours swirling that he’ll resign tomorrow. Not entirely clear what the fuck he hopes to gain from this, and anyway, we already know Gordon’s going nowhere, but fuck, isn’t this a laugh?
APPARENTLY HE HAS JUST SAID HE DISAGREES WITH PURNELL
The Bunkerwhatjamacallitthingyfuehrer at the bottom of the deep pit at No 10 has issued a statement:
I will continue to lead and do what is best for the people of the UK —
~~~
so predictable
Watching Newsnight on BBC. The discussion is the implosion of the cabinet and the Labour Party. ALL Labour leaning guests, it’s like a bad newliar Party Political Party Broadcast. They are discussing all scenarios to prevent Dave & co being elected – strategy for a hung Parliment, we have a year etc etc Pass the fucking sickbag.
One message coming over very clearly – Looneytunes MUST go.
Of course they are all labour arse-lickers. The BBC is labour. It calls on its labour chums when it wants comment. They probably all have a regular account with a local cab firm to run them up to the studios as and when.
spot on, the the implication from that old had shirrrly williams was that facism is on its way if these people keep resigning. you she then b*ggered off half way through to go to another programme or perhaps she needed a pee.
It is all about Labour. It has always been all about Labour and that includes the BBC. The country doesn’t matter. It is a given that no-one wants a Tory government therefore everything must be done to prevent it happening including denying the people of England the right to choose.
The BBC has betrayed us — the ones who pay for it all. And don’t tell me they didn’t know about the expenses scam all along. All those cosy briefings.
Cameron has carte blanche to do whatever he wants with them now.
Maybe this could be a little tune for Dave to be whistling, obviously in a quiet, non-threatening and nonchalant way, of course.
Might help to concentrate their minds about their coverage of a GE.
Newsnight’s Politics Pen
Deborah Matterson – Brown’s Pet Pollster.
Digby Jones – Ex goat.
Greg Dyke – leftie scumbag
Matthew Taylor.
Not representative, not impartial.
As for Newsnight at the moment Seabag Monitfore.
Rupa Huq – lefty blogger (is she related to Connie the BBC Hack)
Shirley Williams spouting bullshit
Why are these leftists getting so many cheques for spouting crap?
And the Left still came out of it looking like shit. What a hopeless rabble.
Its none of our business I suppose. I mean its their labour party government.
Ken Leninstone is an irrelevance. He should stick to doing up his garden. Favours are being called in by the desperate Broon camp, and no doubt inducements are being offered…step forward…praise the great leader…you will be awarded the cross of iron in a ceremony outside the bunker during a lull in the shelling.
Eton Rifles up late, Clash on next…
All this talk of how difficult it would be for a reluctant Prime Minister to be deposed under LP rules. It seems simple to me. Go now, go quietly, or, we’ll vote with the Opposition parties on Tuesday to force a general election through the no-confidence vote.
Paul Clark MP has left the following thread on his blog unmoderated. Go forth and show him what a mistake he has made. Guido, pehaps you can keep acheck on the results of this stupidity
http://www.labourisworking.com/?p=1000
I usually quite like Question Time but fucking hell, Fiona Phillips!
Who said the Brown/Blair Broadcasting Corporation arn’t dumbing down.
Get them sorted out too after the next election and fuckin slimmed down and not dumbed down!
She’s like Jacqui Smith with long hair. From 1000 yards.
She’s as dim as a Toc H Lamp.
QT is finished. Even without Fiona Phillips, Will from Pop Idol and the rest, it’s just a party political fest that tells us nothing new. Best not to watch it, then it will get replaced by mid-week Wipeout Special or NatureWatch.
Like i say in my blog, purnell wants to become PM and hopes that bringing down Brown will improve his chances of being elected. Like I say, I wont bet money he wont go, it is his god given gift to be PM. He has nothing else in his life. He’ll hang on regardless of the contempt. He;ll brow beat the labour party by threatening them with the dissolution of parliament now….since they are worried about unemployment this is a big deal, unemployment in a year with the hope of things improving; or unemployment now! He wont go with grace wont Brown.
Hi Thick as Thieves!
Seasonally adjusted you got 0 votes, sorry
That was Gary Elsby (Bent on Stroke)
So is the jolly to Normandy still on?
SHIT!!! I thought they said it was a jolly to Yor Mandy, that’s why I didn’t ask the bloody Queen
Yor Mandy is a Queen, so there’s no point inviting her madj.
Mandelson has visited to try and persuade him to resign. Gordon is not going to go quietly.
How about noisily?
Nope !!!!
Only way you are going to get Gordon out of that house is –
Sedated –Heavily!!!
and maybe sectioned under the Mental Health Act!!!
and maybe Not Even Then!!!
Sniper. Fire at will.
Toenails Robinson and Creepy Crick look distraught tonight.
They have spent the past few years propagandising for Brown and now their hero is on the verge of being given the boot.
Over on Sky, Brownite witch Anna Botting looks shell-shocked while Kay Burley is probably hitting the bottle somewhere.
Other Brown fag-hags like Mariella Frostrup and Arabella Weir must be crying in their creme de menthes.
Toenails Robinson is in line for being the next Home Office Minister in the absence of any elected MP wanting to take the post. He should be looking elated”!!!!!!!!
never known you up so late Nell! It must be good!x
S’good NewGirl x
Hubby grumbled half an hour ago that it was time for bed. I’ll have to go in a minute.
But history is in the making – We haven’t seen a Gordon like this ever and I don’t think we will ever again .
Jesus, that Anna Botting is a screeching hag.
Gordon is beginning to remind me of Captain Bligh. The Trevor Howard one.
“This is mutiny Mr Purnell. I’ll see you hang from the highest yardarm in Rosyth.”
I think it needs Mr Miliband, in the role of Fletcher Christian, to prepare a lifeboat with some food, wine, water, gunpowder a sextant and a bible.
He can pack Harman, Straw, Darling,Alexander,McFall etc in with him.
“Its Mutiny! You won’t get away with this” shouts Brown. But the bounty has long sailed over the horizon.
More like captain Queeg in the Caine Mutiny
Very good . Exactly like the Caine Mutiny. That might be worth a youtube remix.
Browns Statement tomorrow – hard working families, global economic crisis, small business, getting on with doing the job, what the country wants, speaking to the public, etc, etc bollocks bollocks
Real Help Now. You foprgot that one
or forgot even
To late
He has already issued that at 1030 tonight. Almost word for word ending with whats good for the people and the country
vomit
Don’t forget “it all started in America” and “All parties are equally guilty”
blunkett calls for cabinet to speak up for brown……end game?
My My Ladies…. we are in a tizz…. my lefty brother and I are in total agreement.. we must get on with the job of getting on.. global crisis… started in America. If any one dares to obstruct me…. I’ll call the troops out…. a few dead proles on the streets will concentrate minds wonderfully.
Yes and this evening Radio Four’s the Wold Tonight was live from….Poland and Question Times was pre-recorded, so not a word. Newsnight was excellent though. Get a grip BBC.
The Millipede is going to fire himself tomorrow, apparently.
http://denverthen.blogspot.com/2009/06/purnell-steps-up.html
Brown won’t do jack shit. He will have to be pushed. Let’s see…
it’s official:
worst coup ever!
But a coup nonetheless!!
And it’s going to succeed despite itself!!!!
Newsnight are starting something called The Politics Pen, like Dragons Den only with wankers instead of entrepreneurs.
ie
Greg Dyke – Labour Supporter.
Deborah Mattinson – Gordons favourite pollster.
Digby Jones – Until recently one of the, ‘Government of All The tossers.”
Mathew Taylor – Labour Insider (formerly one of Blair’s bitches)
You’re avin’ a laugh you cυnts.
STOP PAYING BBC LICENSE FEES TODAY
Should be called “The Righteous Brothers”.
Lets see the BBC try and ignore this one then
It just gets better, day by day!
Ohh Sky just said Purnell was offered Education and told Brown to stuff it.
That means Balls was going to No 11.
If Bully boy balls goes to no 11, that will cause even more fury. He is not a well liked man. And he comes across as a smug arrogant turd, which will not endear him to the public either.
Balls is going straight to hell..
Foevever
With Eva..
Poor bloody kids…
Balls IS going to No.11 – It will be the shortest tenure in history. How will he explain that failure on his CV??
Bigger question is what is Darling going to do next ????
Do you think he’d be qualified to be a bus conductor? No silly me, he would need an accountant to help him with the fares, and he’d steal half of them.
No No These people are honorable. Balls wouldn’t keep up with that!!!!!!!!!
Badger baiting’s (foul sport IMO) making a big come back apparently.
Unless someone else resigns, change is not going to happen. Brown having already issued his intent to carry on doing the job, will continue to do just that and face down the current chaos. It needs somebody else…..so come on labourshite, who’s it gonna be? The only thing I want is for Brown to hire a cab and pop round to the palace….
We have been through the Labour TRIBAL PHASE
We are going through the Labour CANNIBAL PHASE
We are now entering the CEAUCEASCU PHASE
This is completely astonishing and is breaking every legal, constitutional and Parliamentary convention in the British Constitution…
It has the hall mark of the Prince of Darkness all over it…
We will have to WRITE A NEW CONSTIUTION NOW
I hope he pays for the f*cking cab himself!
Fair point and there is a danger of getting carried away by the froth of the moment like happened when the chipmunk left.
But Brown is clinging on now.
And the Cabinet might just prove somewhat more brave and less likely to co-operate with his forthcoming night of the long knives.
(Which is fast turning into a night of the plastic spoons)
Tomorrow will see a much clearer picture as the remaining Cabinet won’t be able to hide forever and we can expect to see grudging support or the unsheathing of yet more and perhaps even sharper knives.
goodbye, farewell, adios ole one eyes up poop creek even the rats are climbing over him to leave the stinking sewer.
brilliant
So Brown is in France on Saturday – remember what happened to Maggie when she was in France!
Purnell may have pulled the trigger, but Gordo will claim “it’s just a flesh wound”.
Like the Black Knight in the Monty Python film?
…..as he rest on the ground, no arms, no legs, blood everywhere shouting, ‘come on then, are you chicken?’ – hilarious and painful at the same time (MP and the Holy Grail)
LabourList reporting that Andy Burnham to step down in the next few days.
‘Andy Burnham’? Isn’t that Andy Burnham’s name?
The Last Days of Gordon the Mansey Boy by Mel Brooks.
Everyone – outside Downing st after work §”BROWN OUT” chant
From LabourList:
Rumours Andy Burnham will be next to go; Reports Miliband could follow
By Alex Smith / @alexsmith1982
Rumours are spreading within the Party tonight that Andy Burnham, the Culture Secretary, is likely to resign from the cabinet over the next few days. He would be the sixth minister in as many days to step down after Work and Pensions Secretary James Purnell left the government tonight.
Meanwhile, Radio 5 and Sky News are both strongly hinting that David Miliband may also step down in the next few days.
Brown got rid of Blair by having a PPS resign each day for several days.
Brown will be disposed of by ministers resigning every day for several days.
After hubris comes nemesis.
He who lives by the sword dies by the sword…
The expression is only about 2,500 years old
Obvious…
Burnham has a massive majority. His seat is safe by any measurement – but one of the few.
Boulton on Sky just said ‘coffee house’ normally very relieable reporting Purnell was offered Education before he resigned. Makes the point there is a vacancy at Education which is Balls and where does Balls go ??????
All down to Darling then. Come on Alistar are you a man or a Mcmouse will you be pushed out or grow a pair
There are some people on the pitch they think it’s all over ………..
Balls goes to be drugged up like Guido’s kamikaze pilot before crashing himself and his Boss
Obvious…
This is in the Guardian too.
I starting to think Brown will be unable to construct a new Cabinet.
A combination of his own incapability, lack of loyalty to people who have worked for him, lack of people willing to serve under him, lack of capable Labour MPs…
Brown in France on saturday – remember when maggie was in France !
So lizard lips Purnell has revealed his true character like the ginger minger before him. I have no time for Brown but even less for these pair of slimy twats.
he who lives by the FNORD dies by the FNORD
Fiona fucking Philips, is this the standard of political debate, i hope the stupid slag gets thrush, herpes, vd and vaginal warts.Fiona i never want to see you on my tv ever again.
You fancy her really, don’t you?
Yeah. Protesting too much.
Ok you have got me, dont want to see her on my tv, i want to see her on my throbbing cock……..
Fuck me, Guido still lives!!n Where the fuck do you disappear to?
off for a couple of jugs of Pimms …
Never thought it would be this good…
OMG
never through that would get through the Censor !!
Exit polls?
Any news on the size of McBusts humiliation yet?
Are exit polls being censored by BBC ?
Or the MSM ?
Looks very suspicious
Even more sinister – it’s the EU wot dun it.
Agreed. Got to be good.
http://thebristolblogger.wordpress.com/
some live results here from bristol. Labour have lost 1 safe seat an slipped to 3rd
Steady on, ladies and gentlemen.
No UK political party has put forward a credible plan for cutting or freezing government debt, and they must start with ending index-linked public sector pensions, including MPs, in order to appease international investors, and stave off the IMF with its lascerating prescriptions for indebted nations, like the UK.
What if Gordon Brown calls a snap election because he would rather be voted out by the electorate than be assassinated by his own Party? Of course, he will dress it up as for the good of the country, but really, it will be his last spiteful act, and secure his unearned pension. The Labour Party will lose, and anyone else will win a poisoned chalice: a bankrupt country.
Labour, Cons, LapDumbs: learn basic accountancy BEFORE the next election. Debtor nations like the UK wasted 2008 and half of 2009 on petty provincial squabbles. Chop chop. Wake up. The US and the UK are on the edge of bankruptsy. Politicians are paid servants, the hired help. Best get them to do their job: spend our money better, starting with reducing public sector costs, and index linked pensions which the UK cannot afford.
MPs: you first if you pretend to be ‘leaders’, not troughers. Cut your salaries, gold plated pensions and expenses – all of which exceed what the UK spent when it administered an Empire whereas you now only rubber stamp EU law.
That is a warning, not a request, MPs. My little contribution to international relations ;-)
Sounds like Abbot has more distaste for others in her party than she has for Brown.
This may be more fun than we suspect – perhaps Brown has JUST enough support to allow him to limp on ?
Diane Abbott – good time to angle for a cabinet post ??
never heard her so agitated – and so supporting.
think it may be adrenalin and denial – potillo seems to think so too.
perhaps just premenstrual ?
Portillo talking through the camera directly to Darling was a nice moment. Come on Captain Darling, wrestle General Melchett’s revolver from its holster and fill him full of lead!
Abbot is tribal. She was happy to snipe at Gordon in the past but when the situation threatens Labour she is like the others – party first, country second. Like so many Labour MPs she just cannot come to terms with the fact that Labour is so detested. They delude themselves, find all sorts of excuses and waffle on as though they have some special right to govern us.
Jerry Springer hit the nail on the head. Let the people decide. General Election now!
Disaffected Blairites resigning, Brownites aren’t pleased. Purnell might just have fired the opening shots in a civil war.
This has to stop. It’s time for a general election.
Election now, please.
If Gordon ignores the obvious and stays (and he’s arrogant enough to do just that), we could end up with effectively four parties in the Commons – Conservatives, Lib Dems, Pro-Gordons and Anti-Gordons, the latter two having a private war for twelve months whilst the other two keep demanding a GE. Meanwhile, the country quietly sinks….
The rats know their only chance is a change of leader now, with a few months to go before the necessity of a General Election (as happened with Margaret Thatcher)
The irony is that the longer Brown’s last stand goes on, the bigger will be his party’s loss at the next election.
No rush
I agree… every day he stays on prolonging the agony will remind us all to NEVER take a chance on these obdurate undemocratic chancers again.
Some us never did. Every Labour government ever has ended in complete disaster. It just took a bit longer than usual this time.
Miliband has bottled it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
source ?
Al Ja Beeba
Sky news just reported Millibands full support for PM in a statement from the twat.
Useless,cowardly inept,inadequate,inarticulate,gormless-and this twat masquerades as our Foreign Secretary.
Bob Marshall-Andrews’ description of him as “a pillock on his gap year” sums him up.
Guido,
My comment ‘awaits’ moderation for the first time. Go forth and multiply, and if you don’t get that Anglo Saxon euphemism, here’s the original: Fuck off.
Like many sanctimonious types, you mistook your brief moment of praise for a licence to make money. I see your ads, and thought well done for you because you were wrongly thumped by bunker number 10. Now I see your censorship, and think you are no better than those you criticise. F wit.
Cheers.
It must be automated censorship. Did you put in an offensive swearword or phrase by any chance? I know the word is for sure.
Offensive epithets and profanity are OK, but Guido has to beware, (as do his blog hosts), of possible out and out libel. Both parties would be equally liable.
There are many who would like blogs such as this shut down, so a little understanding regarding moderating is needed.
I am a moderator on an internet forum and see every post made – if a potential liability – it goes.
NHN,
I well understand libel law, but thanks for the ‘heads up’ ;-) Ta ra.
Ta Sir,
My comment ‘awaiting’ moderation by their Lordships contained no swear words, unlike the last one which is milder than the expletives not deleted on this site. No worry. Ta for reply. Gotta go. Good luck.
There is an automatic moderation on that picks up certain key words. Calm down, it’s nothing personal.
Dr F,
Thanks, but no thanks. ‘Automatic moderation’? Stalin’s dream come true, and Bill Gates’. Calm like in Prozac Priory. No thanks. Good luck.
Have a hot milky drink and go to bed. you are overwrought.
Is Piers Morgan two of them?
Obviously not.
Let’s try Alan Sugar.
Charles Hardwidge
No? Fuck.
Oh don’t be so precious.!!!!
We all get modded .
Fun is to find a way around it.
Go away and exercise your mind
Read the FAQs on moderation.
If you don’t like it, fuck off and start your own blog.
Don’t slam the door on the way out.
Toodle pip.
Are you looking for a refund?
Portillo on This Week says each Cabinet resignation makes the next easier. He said No10’s phoning them in their constituencies through the night, but they’ll just turn the mobiles off until they know how the land lies in the morning and the Council elections result.
I think this is the Night of the Dead Nokias. Please let it be the end and a general election… I don’t know about everyone else, but I for one will riot if Labour foist another unelected PM on us.
‘think this is the Night of the Dead Nokias.’
Think it’s part of a trilogy.
Night of the Dead Nokias
Dawn of the Dead Nokias
Day of the Dead Nokias.
Al Beeb claiming that Hutton and Milliband are disappointed by their good friend’s actions. Also implied that the statements are very similar.
Mr Brown said he wanted me to be his new homo sectionary what’s one of dem ?
When Gordon Brown took office at Number 10 he said he would “call upon the better angels of his nature”. It is now time to summon that spirit again, bookend a weak tenure, and – for the good of the Labour Party – step aside and allow the Party to move on.
With Gordon Brown as leader, Labour would almost certainly lose the next election – perhaps so disastrously as to commit the Party to opposition for three terms. With a new leader in charge, that election might still be winnable.
http://www.labourlist.org/gordon_brown_recall_the_better_angels_of_your_nature
and if the labour party is kaputed who is going to pay the overdraft?
“With a new leader in charge, that election might still be winnable.”
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaha
David Miliband not resigning but a whole raft of back benchers are calling for Brown to go. Strange Purnell used DWP letterhead for his resignation and not personal letterhead…?
Its only got one address on it probably so that if a reply comes he knows where to be. Oh no, he won’t be there anyway ‘cos hees resigned. Yes it was strange afterall
Whats the turnout today looking like? anyone know?
most people seem to say it was lamentable
Reports on previous threads suggest patchy – very busy in some areas, quiet in others.
Very low in my area – Labour stronghold
Low here. The guy crossing the names off told me he reckoned it was running at 16%, and might just creep up to 20% by the close.
Busy here in Portsmouth South. (Libdem) My polling station estimated 35% by 7pm, so probably 40% + by close?
Very busy here in East Anglia (Conservative). I know it’s good news because the BBC are studiously trying to avoid the subject.
T h i n g s c a n o n l y g e t be t t e r . . . . . . . . .
The country is in a jam!
Think I’m going to vote preservative at the next election.
++ FORGET THE BREAKING NEWS ++
Milliband fails to grow a pair.
Looked in his shiny trousers, and found nothing there. So he went on 5 Live and denied ever having so much as a cross thought about his Lord and Master.
fucking scumbag
Is it just me or does it seem like he’s trying to hang on to prevent the tories holding a referendum on europe. What’s he been promised to keep this from happening?
Just you. Dave has no intention of holding a referendum on europe until the ukip results are in and even if he did he wouldn’t want a No vote. More likely IMO.
Labour begining to spin that Purnell’s resignation is a Blairite faction plot!!
3 in 3 days Jeez what a spectacle this is.
The laughable thing is the BBC are trying to play all this down and have looneytune GB supporters lining up to say their piece, fucking hilarious!!
Peter Kilfoyle (Jimmy Tarbuck lookalike) nigh on accusing Purnell of treason!!.
They just don’t get it. New Labour as a project and a party is morally
bankrupt, finished, dead in the water. The infighting is deeply damaging to this country and we have a Government that is totally incapable of governing having put the country in a very perilious position.
In short they have fucked it completely and they have been found out
Dissolve Parliament now, early summer recess GE in 6-8 weeks. Come on Brenda, you know it makes sense.
Why does Mandy want Gordon kept in office???
And even the Guardian tonight says Mandy is resolute in his support of Gordon for PM.
What deals are going down that M needs Gdn to stay there at no.10??
There is something!!! Mandy has a reason! (what is it??) for now supporting this man that he, by his own admission, once hated.
Mandy wants the Foreign Office. This is his only chance, and if he has to bugger the country to realise his own ambition, he will.
is it wise to mention Mandy and bugger in the same sentence ?
Fair point. Its late, that’s my excuse.
Its natural.
Mandelson is a great believer in Churchill’s adage KBO
Nell
I have told you before
Mandy has all sorts of personal “deals” already lined up…
He never gave a fuck about Britain.just how much he could come to power with the fraud Blair, wield power, makes lots of “freinds”..sail on their yachts…use their money etc etc
This is all in the public domain as you know
It is a litany of cynicism as I have often said…and can be proven from the moutain of published evidence…
That is all…
PS It Carter Fuck (where is baroness uddin the thief?) want to fight these true statements in Court, I will blow them out of the water…
He has already had to resign TWIVE for dirty tricks…
Do you think he gives a damn about a THIRD FOURTH OR FIFTH TIME
Every time he resigns he buys a bigger house and makes more influentail “friends”..
That is their way…
They are SCUM.
I absolutely agree MI5 – And where is the Illustrious Baroness?.
She and Mandy are two of a Kind!!
I believe the WWF has clased both of them as in danger of extinction!!!!!!!!!!
Alan Sugar for Dictator of Britain!
Sugar better hope his business past is squeeky if he gets in bed with McMental.
Sugar is not that stupid. He will have had the odds worked out on Gordo surviving with 15% popular support in the country and won’t want to wreck a successful TV and business career by getting involved with McBust.
It’s just a pity Sugar didn’t have half the cabinet around the table, chewed them to pieces one by one in front of the cameras, and then fired the bloody lot of them!
Alan Sugar went into commercial property at exactly the wrong time…
It’s just a matter of time now before the debt is impossible to repay.
Hey Guido
I hope your server holds up this time
This is great and big and huge…
We are turning over the whole fucking British Establishment in the name of the People…they deserve it after this monstruous Labour Scam…
This is HISTORIC….
And we will keep on going, as they say..
Well done you Old Rogue…
(even if you do censor me sometimes !)
Keep it strong…
MI5
And we have all the fun of waking up to hear Labour have been obliterated in the elections to look forward to… PARTY TIME! Labour hoods and their molls aren’t invited to this one.
And Gordon will be on prime time world coverage TV the day after tomorrow at D-Day… couldn’t happen to a nastier HOON. Bet he wishes he’d let the Queen go after all now.
Excuse me, but it wasn’t up to him to ‘let’ the Queen go. He should have automatically invited her. And for that matter the greasy frog(ish) Sarkozy should have invited her. McMental finally showed how completely out of touch he is when he said that if the Queen asked him, of course he’d invite her! He needs to be reminded that she is the head of state, not him.
IF Brown goes to the D Day thing
He will obviously be the PARIAH..
Will anyone even shake his hand ?
? Prince Charles who got an invitation direct from Sarkozy ??!!
It’s all quite surreal…
A plane without a pilot
and the PM fielding thieves to defend himlself tonite !!
Never in British history….
Sky ‘ticker tape’ news thingy
Phil Woolas & Liam Byrne have all given their support to Snotty
Miliband has confirmed he’s not resigning
Peter Kilfoyle getting irate about Purnell on Sky now!
Sounds like someones been making some telephone calls
Phil W@@las!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why would he resign??????????
Nobody in the Labour Party other than Gordon would have a use for him!!!!
And Nobody in the Real World would want to employ him,!!!!!!!
Stay and support Gordon. Alas it won’t be for long!!!!!!!!!
Woolas will be booked into the Priory by this time next week. He is right on the edge. Believe me, I know about these things.
They’re putting the girdle on Woolas right now…
Nurse…
What will James Purnell’s expenses reveal?
Is Brown doing a Blairite purge?
Peter Killfoyle on Sky just put a gun to his head and blew his brains out all over the media
Said Purnell was an idiot and never had a job and Boulton quite simply said well Brown promoted him and so must be a fuckwit. Killfoyle had no answer and stumbled on with any further coherent answers.
These guys are all fucking morons they must go right now!!!
He knew weeks ago that Watson was going he says. That’s got to be worth a revisit.
I thought Boulton was a member of the club, too? Or has he jumped ship?
Nick Robinson has an update on his blog to say that David Millipede has made it clear he doesn’t agree with his friend James Purnell and won’t be resigning.
The BBC got that bit of news out quick enough!!
Peter Kilfoyle having an absolute psycho anti blairite shit fit on Sky, he’s looks like a total loon.
He did get a tad irate! :)
Kept accusing the Sky girl of leaking confidential Government business — they really are Barking Upminster and Crouch End… it was one of your own ministers you twat.
Westminster’s like the field of Culloden tonight, total inter-clan warfare. They should have remembered that old Jock saying “never trust a Campbell” in ‘97. Still, it’s all very amusing for us civilians.
Culloden was Scots being slaughtered by the English, not inter-clan warfare, but I hope you’re right anyway.
James Woodward N.Ireland secretary on BBC news must think Ellesmere Port is a suburb of Belfast , he keeps on about car workers there needing Gordon. He metioned the place no less than 5 times and apparently was talking to GB about the place earlier this evening??
Ellesmere Port is a sewer and Vauxhall make shit cars.
WHERE ARE THE FUCKING EXIT POLLS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>????????????????????????????
THEY MUT BE DISAARTROUS! im drunk sorry.
The cabinet is closing ranks (what’s left of them) Form a circle please chaps.)
They’ll be lucky to form a triangle
They’ll be doing circle jerks for the rest of the year.
They aren’t disciplined enough to form a square.
Why won’t shaun trougher woodward fuck off the traitor twat “Obama came to the G20 to learn how Gordon has beaten the global recession”, the BBC have let him say that line unchallenged time after time after time in the last 36 hours…. The man is just lying through his teeth…he is even copying the Dark Prince;s media spin style…. give me strength.
He is of course criminally insane.
quote of night by mathew parris on sky voice link “gordons certainly more damaged now than he was 1 hour ago” way to go mathew have to manicure that line for olde slime head on sunday .
newsnight spat liam byrne reckons labour are going to get a clip round the ear and its the expenses stupid , shows how out of touch the bunker personnel are , most people are fed up with gordons bogus morality , his lack of answer , and the lisbon treaty denial .
caesars wife has had some sympathy for ken livingstone recently , he had been making the right noises about wonk politics and its burgeoning costs and had almost developed an old labour line , he is however a johnson backer and his sentemtality for labour is misplaced as he still lives its socialist roots as does johnson . but since they handed over to PR execs , banking execs and the dark no10 press office , the labour of ken livinstone is finished in as much as labour have created a society that no longer needs it or cares about it .
to put it bluntly labour have ruined the country and the economy to such an extent that politics cannot be trusted to do what it says , long reflected in voter apathy , as gordons staliist approach to policy has made them irrelevent , but then again communism always does make debate irrelevant .
as news night gets all experimental ,caesars wife was optomistic of a good turnout , but this may be patchy and “cant be bothered” seems to have crept in where the euro elections are being run alone , it may be its the poor wards with low turnout. only 4 counts tonight , rest by 1pm tommorow and euro ones by monday . interesting though no boradcaster is giving exit poll predictions which shows its not quite certain .
reading the politico entrails , purnell must be a milliband supporter or fancies a go him self , but being as purnell is not exactly clean in zanulabour thinking and is very much a man of the current wonk socialism run by PR media savvy types . so we have new, fresh labour reaching for the stars on the back of the hamstrung laboursarus gordontriceritops . caesars wife thinks alan johnson would have got trashed at the dispatch box , but it appears they are trying to raise from the dead phoneyblairism clone warriors.
i look forward to either a brief spell of frightfull unstable stalin cabinet, or wonk new kids labour politics . who would want to go up against cameron in this climate , imagine balls and osbourne dispatch box exchages .
whole contsruct is wonk , i am tempted to go for sapper job on , foundations failures , depends if gordon goes by tuesday , lies are catching up on them me thinks
I know it won’t be popular on this blog, but I want the cυnt to survive.
Thanks. That’s popular with me at least.
The hilarious thing is, that Sky is getting call ins from every Brown cocksucker No 10 can ring round for.
Labour does not decapitate its leaders with the ease of the Conservatives. Many MPs recoil in horror. But like it or not, they are now confronted with a half-killed prime minister staggering along with knives in his back. They may be angry with his murderers, but must face up to what a year ahead would be like, limping on to almost certain electoral catastrophe. There is all the difference between losing the next election, and a wipe-out from which many now think Labour might never recover.

Why does Sky allow all these labour MP’s to come on and keep saying that the mental twat has all the financial solutions and the whole world has followed him when it is plainly not the case.
Merkel not 3 days ago was livid with Brown
Lets get a balance here if a Tory said anything like that they would be ripped apart by them
Brown will survive.
No, I won’t.
One more word for our friends at Carter Ruck
Are you still defending the liars, defamers and frauds in No 10 Downing’s Street Dirty Tricks unit ?
Or has that stopped with your defence of the liar Watson ?
The whole Bar is watching you..
We know all that Watson and McBride worked clowely…
We know Watsonn who you acted for, has just “resigned”
But what about the rest of them in this Criminal Unit in No 10 using taxpayer’s money to smear and lie about just Tory opponents but members of the Labour Party !!!?
Or are you in the Bunker with Brown right now ???!!
The Bar is watching you… as are the British Public..
And we will remember you when we speak about Freedom of Speech and the fundamental liberties of the British People…
Diane Abbott is Les Dawson in drag and why does she keep looking up at the sky when she answers a question.
It’s a learned response which comes from working in the vicinity of Brown. Every time she opens her mouth she has to look out for flying Nokias, of course.
Dianne Abbott – I remember her from her totally useless days in Stoke Newington in the 80s. She could seriously convice me to become celibate (or gay – just joking). Some turds float, some sink – I guess she is in the former category.
I remember Les Dawson in drag. He didn’t send his children to private schools.
Have you lot blinked and wiped you memories of the last few weeks. All the corrupt bastards should be prosecuted and the rules changed. Don’t let the fuckers of the hook.

Hardbint on Sky and the smears against Purnell have started with a vengance
Shahid Malik is on BBC?
yeah there’s a good voice of reason, the thieving hoon.
God they are dragging out every shamed labour hack and whore for Brown on Sky, Barbara “i need security” Follett is on now sucking Brown off.
Malik is a slimy stool. Huddersfield is unanimously behind McTwat apparently.
How long before Piers Morgan is made Minister for Propaganda?
No
He’s too muct into living the high life in LA
and thinking he’s important !!
Labour is going to have a shit night
CCHQ is saying they have won St George East, Bristol, from Labour, with a swing of more than 9%.
BBC News 24 has got… seriously… don’t laugh… SHAHID MALIK on defending Brown now.
Sky has got Barbara Follett…
Is that really the best they can do? Of course, we all really trust their judgement don’t we?
What a fucking joke. Must go to bed…
Boy am I looking forward to the election results tomorrow! That should bring a whole new raft of Labour in-fighting into the open. Oh happy days.
I am coming round to the idea of Gordon NOT resigning too, simply because it’s so much fun watching the governing party self destruct in slow motion. Brilliant.
I can’t remember a time when I enjoyed politics so much.
Tomorrow: Ding Ding, Round 7!
Spineless NuLiebor Hoons dribbling out browns arse
OK- Gordon is not going to resign tonight is he.?
This is the letter he has written us to explain his position —
” As a Presbyterian son of the manse, with the only ‘intact’ moral compass, in my government. And being conscious of my, strict and uncompromising father’s views about morality – I can say unequivocably that, I know I was born to be King of this Nation –
And I will lead ,even though no-one wishes it.
I am the greatest Chancellor GB has ever had and I am an even Greater PM .
No-one will ever be better than me.!!!!”
Gordon Brown
Great Britain
Gobshite Bollocks.
It all makes sense, when you think about it.
They have done some good things like the smoking ban, prempting an attack by Iraq and enabling young people to retire upon leaving school for example, but as a whole they need to try harder.
I’ll probably vote for New Labour if Gordon Brown remains PM because I feel sorry for him.
I suppose we should be grateful that Labour did not ban smoking in the House of Commons Bars; it may see a few more of them off, but very slowly.
SHAHID MALIK what an utter c u n t
“Number 10 ’s brown bottle hanging on the wall
Number 10 ’s brown bottle hanging on the wall
And if one brown bottle should accidentally fall
They’ll be nine brown bottles hanging on the wall”
Song that became traditional with children living under the last days of the New Labour regime.
Labour is getting massacred in Bristol council local elections by the looks of it.
CCHQ now reporting that Labour may lose all ten of the seats it is defending in Bristol.
This could be one hell of a blowout.
lol
Tory’s to gain St George East with Labour third behind the BNP? Is it worse for Labour than anyone could have imagined?
The long awaited relief and privilege of being a spectator to the fall of the New Labour regime – a historic moment. The count-down to its oblivion has begun!
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Democracy Shamocracy!
http://tiberiusleodis.wordpress.com/2009/06/04/democracy-shamocracy/
Go on! Tell it to us just one more time.
You wrote a fuckin essay! Why?
“Brown has seen the moment of his greatness flicker ,
The eternal footman hold his coat and snicker,
and in short he was afraid.”
At least get my fucking name right, gompeen man.
lol
Tory’s to gain St George East with Labour third behind the B*P? Is it worse for Labour than anyone could have imagined?
So its not only David Carradine being fucked up by his cabinet tonight then.
Best laugh tonight!
Ohhh. Too Soon Grasshopper.
A cruel thing to say….I wish I had thought of it.
Christ! Is anyone watching Tessa Jowell on Sky News? I genuniely thought a zombie had got into the studio..! watch with caution!
brown will have spoken to geeky miilband before miliband made his statement. want to bet he keeps the foreign office.
brown stating the economy is on course to recovery, and then dump the architect – darling. Putting darling out with the wolves is a risk, and brown dont take risks, only when we carry the can.
My monies on miliband staying, brown is in no position to stick it on him. If he dumped miliband, miliband will run, and brown will then go. darling i dont know, he’s taken on the few jobs where he’s had to clean up somene elses shit, but he’s always been rewarded for it. if he gets dumped who knows.
The fact that brown has had darling badmouthed over the last week is fucking amazing, brown really is the flawed arsehole we all think he is, i can only think messrs balls is in this warped process somewhere.
Who the fuck else is there that matters, i dont know a single name whose left.
browns going nowhere.
These election results will be brushed aside, as protest. the clue will be how badly the tories have been damaged by the expense scandel. if they are damaged at all, brown will stay. if the tories hold up, well maybe,
There must be some economy indicators starting to show shortly, if brown gets even a hint a recovery is on the way it’s going to take a fucking corkscrew to get him out of there. He’s got faults, big ones, but quitting isn’t one of them, i only wish to fuck it was
well this aint a protest vote, the Tories are holding right up and Labour’s vote is in the toilet judging by results so far.
Purnell pulled the trigger?? -
Why didn’t he use a machine gun rather than a hand pistol??
In any case he missed the mark. Gordon is still there!!!
Good Night . God Bless.
BROWN MAY HURT U.K. CREDIT RATING BY NAMING BALLS AS CHANCELLOR
By Gonzalo Vina and Kitty DonaldsonJune 5 (Bloomberg) –
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601102&sid=ajvWZ_SZv3tE&refer=uk
……………..“The concern has to be that in the run up to an election they boost discretionary spending,” he said. “It would be a comic irony if Labour were to screw up a AAA rating. It would be a defining moment they would take years to get away from.”…………………..
Purnell pulled the trigger?? – in an attemp to shoot him in the buttocks and blow his brains out.
The attending physician said “he did not miss by much!”
Conservatives have so far taken a seat off Labour in Lincolnshire, Grantham Borrowby, Labour vote down by 35.1 % & in 3rd place.
Bwahahahaha
actually….
First two results from Lincolnshire have Labour losing two thirds of their vote percentage of 2005.
On Con gain and one Con hold.
Where are you getting these results from please ?
http://www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/elecResultsHome.asp
http://www.bristol.gov.uk/item/elections/?XSL=main&ElectionId=63
Is it clear yet whether the collapse in the labour vote has seen it switch, or are they just staying at home? My polling station (lab area) was deathly quiet.
So what?
James Purnell was in his home constituency of Stalybridge & Hyde at Broadbottom Rail Station. He made a quick dash to a clapped out car with rusty red megaphones sat in the back with 3 other Labour councillors in the area shouting “vote labour”. How the mighty have fallen…
Further thought for you:
Other Labour insurgents (e.g. the e-mail plotters) were keeping their powder dry until the polls closed.
Purnell beat them to the bunch – but they haven’t gone away.
We have lots and lots more fun and games to come spilling out from those folks, not to mention all the new rebels following Purnell’s example.
What was that new liberal leftie blog called? 38 degrees – the angle at which an avalanche can start. What an excellent name…
Along with “go fourth” of course..
1.06am update. Cabinet’s falling to bits. Only question is how long can Brown continue?
What an absolutley dire state of affairs.
Watching Brillo and Co this evening a number of things have really stood out.
Regardless now of whether school-boy Miliband goes or not Gordon has been terminally damaged. Either smacked down by his cabinet or too weak to move them.
Another thing, in the furious briefings against Purnell, including Liem ‘I want to be Home Secretary’ Byrne’s performance, the dire state of briefing against the ‘opposition’ has come to light.
He has, as far as I can see, done anything so badly wrong – he has acted according to his insight and called for the Prime Minister to go. Under a normal premiership, challenges such as these would not be seen as entirely damaging, a chance to renew the Prime Minister’s mandate…
Oh, wait a moment…
http://www.textualrelationsblog.blogspot.com
Tories have held Sleaford but are down 4% but the Lib Dem & Labour down by much more, seems Lincolnshire Independants & BNP have pick up most of the Lab/Lib Dem vote in Sleaford
and another gain in grantham, this time in Grantham South, with 47.7 percent of the vote
This from Con home..
Just back from count of the 6 Broxbourne divisions of Herts County council. Conservatives won all 6, Labour vote collapsed in all but 1 ward. BNP second in 4 divisions and a close third in hte other 2. Labour fell from 2nd to fourth in a number of wards. I don’t have the full figures available at present.
This not only going to be bad but its going to be a massacre.

Hello Guido and freinds
I heard about your blog in the pub…
I ususally use this computer for working out the price of my spuds…
So I though I would just say good evening, I have drunk my medical half-bottle of whisky like the Old Queen Mum (God Bless her) so I am feeling at home with the world… after a fine day in my fields..
But I do see all these odd people defaming eachother, lying, thieving and frauding…
I was taught in school that only the Barbarians did such things…
Before the time of old William the Conq. 1066 at all that..
Quite surprised that they have taken to doing the same thing over 1,000 years later…
I thought we had grown up a bit…half-way civilised at least…
Anyway, sleep well, look after your family and grow a few spuds like I do..
Keeps you happy you know..
Your friend the gentelman farmer
Labour vote down by19% in Lincs so far!!
The people are speaking, now fuck off and close the door behind you.
Seems to me that everyone NewLiar is blaming this collapse on Looneytunes Brown. Wrong!!! they have all participated in the NewLiar experiment which turned out to be a Frankensteins monster.
If they think that Brown’s going will offer them salvation then they are just as fucking stupid as most of us think they are.
NewLiars need to be removed from power ASAP. The game is up. You sold Britain down the Swanee and you are now about to get your just desserts and a P45. Fucking good riddance.
Hear,Hear.
now 21% down in Lincs!!!!
its a masacre there, Tories vote went up by almost 5% so far, Labours is in the toilet.
LOl :”labour is in the toilet” has to be best quote , never should have left it in my opinion
Flush Gordon !
ha! ha! Best laugh yet!
Labour are in the toilet, they’re losing their seats. This should be fun if they’re sh*tting themselves. Serves them right.
They have lost 11 seats so far.
Tories have gained 12, total masacre.
Make that 15 now, 13 of those from Labour.
Wonderful!
On a different note:
The beeb really stretched out some pointless crap about children with imaginary friends allegedly being more successful than those without, and being completely well adjusted (not the loonys we always thought apparently).
Anyway, this all seems pretty drivelly until you think about what’s coming up. Brown thinks he’s about to save NuLab/Britain/”The World” with another pathetic cabinet shuffle.
Given that the rats are already on shore by now, the image of Fuhrer Brown, Ger-Balls, and a room full of empty chairs containing his ‘imaginary’ Cabinet keeps floating before my eyes…
Were the Beeb being used to try to get the idea out that this wouldn’t mean Gordon was round the bend?
(I think I’ve been overdoing the GTA4 tonight…)
why don’t you give us some gossip about purnell, you Hoon?
Lib Dems gain Bristol from NOC, Newliars worst result in Brizzle for 25 years. Tories gain seats too.
BBC just announced that there is no clear pattern!!!!!!
No Dear, your Lords and masters are getting the fucking good hiding they deserve. None of your Media studies degrees can hide or disguise this fact.
Not going very well Gordon is it?
Methinks the oaf Brown has `lost the dressing room.`
HAhahaha.
Yep, I voted for Judge and Jury, not that that will make any difference though for I live in the land of the sheepshaggers.
Eric.

9. David Carradine Dead.
Enough of this shite………
I predict that the story from Lab tomorrow will be: ‘Given the current temporary economic difficulties, which started in America, the results are a definite vote of support from the British people. The electorate always tries to punish a successful government midterm: we have done much better than might have been expected since it all started in America. We’ll do our best to stay within the rules, which we have, and which are very bad but must be adhered to. It’s an imperfect system but we can overcome it by standing firm …’ etc. etc.
The story later today will be “total annihilation for Brown” if the results so far are anything to go by.
This is looking like being a total catastrophe for Labour.
Amazing.
Middle class Tarbucian scouse lard barrel Peter Kinfoyle lost is on SKY last night, ignorant porker
If Parliament won’t do it, maybe we should have a try:
Required, 2 pyschiatrists and an approved social worker, will get plenty of public attention and the reward of a grateful nation. Come on then, where are you?
“In order for someone to be admitted to a psychiatric hospital without his or her consent, an assessment under the Mental Health Act 1983 has to take place. Normally a social worker and two doctors make such an assessment. The social worker has to be an Approved Social Worker (ASW), so called because they have received special additional training in relation to mental health legislation and are formally approved by the local authority to act in this capacity. At least one of the doctors will also have received special additional training and the other one will usually know the person who is being assessed – often it is their GP.
During the assessment the ASW and the doctors will interview the person who is being assessed and also speak to any carers, relatives and others who are closely involved in the person’s life. The law gives particular rights to the person’s ‘Nearest Relative’ but this is not always the same person as their ‘Next of kin’. The ASW will explain this and any implications at some stage during the assessment.
What happens after the assessment?
When the ASW and the doctors have assessed the situation they will decide together whether the person they have seen has a mental disorder. They will then decide if the person needs to be admitted to a psychiatric hospital in the interests of his or her health and safety or to protect other people.
If an admission to hospital is necessary and, the person agrees to this, a voluntary admission will be arranged. If the person does not consent the ASW will make an application for detention to the hospital and will arrange admission. “
I do like that smell of toast in the morning, or at anytime come to that…
I like the smell of rotting Labour corpses.
I see the thick kants in Manchester or was it Birmingham voted Labour back in during their by election.
Is it morning? Is it a brave new world? *inserts coffee drip*
Thinking of Broon’s replacement, be it Johnson or whoever. I couldnt help but think of this sketch
Thanks for that I was crying with laughter, imagining Millipede, Johson et al drinking from the poison chalice pretending everything is business as usual.
Cripes. What did I miss by having to get some sleep?
Frazer Nelson is up early on-the-green outside Parliament. Sky trounced the BBC last night and as this site shows, Guido’s army are on the case. The Gorgon has to go to Normandy tomorrow so the atmosphere is going to get even more frantic. I guess it will be his last big event and fittingly a sobre one
and completely the opposite for many millions of people. Sell shares in Nokia.
Master Baiter appears to be absent! Must have his hands full.
Yes full of brown cock.
Guido – this is probably the moment we should pay tribute to what you achieved earlier in the year.
Watching the msm coverage of Purnell has been heartening because it’s clear that the political correspondents are doing their jobs much more resolutely than they were 6 months ago. The ability of party leaders’ offices – all of them – to dictate the pace and force the coverage has been diminshed to the point where they’ve got to earn their column inches and airtime and they’re all finding it a struggle. Brilliant.
The supine copy-taking from the MSM have we had since 1997 has been exposed for the cosy and toxic conspiracy that it was and the signs of proper political reporting are beginning to reappear after 12 years or so; Sky, for instance has just pointed out that the No 10 drones have been too bluntly coordinated – unthinkable reporting compared with a year ago.
There’s a good way to go – the BBC is looking increasingly interrogable as to what on earth they’ve been doing and the Westminster back briefing is still going on, but at least we can see that clearly now, and reporters are starting to reflect their sources much more honestly.
The game is back on and the general election cannot now be conducted according to the parties’ agenda.
Thank you.
I’ll add my thanks to that, a good post
And it all started with a spilt pint down the Westminster Arms.
Amen to that. Guido’s expose of McBride was the tipping point, the key breakthrough, as this exposed to the public at large the disgusting sleaze at the heart of Brown’s government . It’s been rapidly downhill for Brown, Nulab and his protective ring of cheerleaders in the MSM ever since.
So, McBride has definitely been sacked has he? Any confirmation on date he left the Civil Service?
Jim Knight, who he, on sky news
‘Purnell has made a bad mistake, if Gordon goes we will have to have a general election’
Piss off now then Gordon
He was smarming alarmingly late last night too. He must have slept in his own slime.
My girlfriend makes me do that; she won’t sleep in the wet patch.
Gordon is going nowhere
As the economy demonstrates
D-Day tomorrow – in more ways than one. Or will it be today???!!!
Morning folks. Time for tea.
DAVID CARRIDINES DEAD WUT IS GOING ON.
Labour finish behind Green Party and UKIP. Not good for Brown
Pravda holding back on showing Local Election results – NuLab massacred in Lincolnshire but not yet reported!
Are they waiting for the message from the bunker? Where is Comic Ali when you need him to deny that the tanks are on the lawn?
Will Brown eventually be tracked down to a hole in the ground somewhere in the East Midlands and be dragged out, Saddam style, to face the verdict of the people?
This is all very worrying.
If there really is a ‘nuclear button’ I just hope that they don’t let Gordon anywhere near it.
Section him
Mrs Yvette B on Sky just now saying Gordon is getting on with the job.
Sky saying Yvette is in line for a very big promotion today. What a toady she is!!
Message from Gordon this morning seems to be take me down and you’ll all go down with me and be out of a job by Autumn.
I can’t believe he is still trying to hang on.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She also said:
People she was meeting on the doorstep were showing strong support for GB.
That she “knew nothing” of any cabinet post.
That’s it, boy-wife, start life in your new post as the lying apologist cow that we all know you are.
Losers always tend to back losers. She’s also a deluded opportunist. Stupid woman.
Is she getting the promotion just because:
a. Because she is female (apparently)
b. Because she is Balls’ boy-wife ?
c. Because she has been another (after Ruth Kelly) Treasury Glove Puppet for GB
d. All of these
oh, e. Because she is an immensely talented individual and none of the above are valid.

Darling to stay in Number 11
R5 even
a good scenario would be Cooper gets a top job the the Telegraph does a poo on her head
Sky News says ‘Cabinet reshuffle today, there’s going to be a big job for Yvette Cooper’.
Isn’t she a thief?
What, as well as a slag ?
News on Sky.
Cooper gets Work and Pensions leaving the way for Balls to take Chancellor job.
The end game if true.
Why are the posts being displayed out of sync?
I want to know that aswell.
Darling stays!
What will happen if Mandy doesn’t get his dream job as Foreign Secretary ?
Will he turn on Brown and finish him ?
Darling goes – Balls get Chancellor
Cooper gets Work and Pensions
Is that a Knacker’s cart trundling over the bridge?
Clip-Clop. ” Git alooooong little dogeeeeeeeeeee!”
What joy: caught a snatch of Yvette on GMTV waffling away. Seemed to be churning out the usual stuff. Bring the election on!
SIGH! No election for us til May… This lot can’t even shoot straight at a lame duck. Milliband rushing to McMental’s defence, unbidden, Johnson saying he can’t do a better job publically etc etc.
Plus the only ways to get rid of him are firstly, a leadership contest which must be triggered by the NEC controlled by one Gorgon McDoom and secondly if he resigns as a result of his MPs revolting which, revolting though they are, would mean them voluntarily voting themselves into retirement and taking their snouts out of the trough by coice. Nope we’re stuck with him sadly.
Although, for those of us desirous of seeing the Labour Party reduced to a smoking hole in the ground… It’s a long game worth watching!
No. The MP’s first trigger it with the 70.
And that doesn’t look impossible but it’s by no means certain.
Here’s a quick recap courtesy of The Times…
“Any nomination to replace the leader when Labour is in government must be supported by 20 per cent of the 350 MPs in the Parliamentary Labour Party.
Whether to have a contest must then be decided, on a card vote, by a conference of the party
Party chiefs might decide that they have to arrange a conference anyway if a nominee received anything like the required number because it would deal such a blow to the leader’s authority.
In that event, Gordon Brown would probably walk away to avoid the embarrassment of being brought down by conference. However, the unions, which have the majority of votes at conference, might step in to save him. Some union leaders have expressed disgust at the spectacle of MPs trying to bring down their leader so soon after he took over.
If Mr Brown were to be forced out over the coming days, it is likely that he would, like Tony Blair, stay on as Prime Minister until a new leader was elected. If he decided to go without waiting for an election, the Cabinet, in consultation with Labour’s ruling National Executive Committee, would appoint one of its members to serve as leader until a ballot was held. Harriet Harman as deputy leader is the obvious candidate but someone of the seniority of Jack Straw or Alistair Darling might be considered more appropriate.”
“Purnell Pulls the Trigger”…
…and fired blanks?
Stuff the Daily Telegraph and their poncy expenses list. I have, at great risk and expense, uncovered the only MP list that now matters.
Peter Mandelson – Tiny
Tony Blair – Disappointingly small
John Major – Huge
Brian Paddick – Eye-wateringly gargantuan!
Brown has chickened out and Darling remains in his job

So don’t worry about the nation.
Don’t worry about the nation.
Self-Interest is what the people expect for you.
Now “get on with the job”
The people demand a say.
This is a democracy isn’t it ?
You tell us that self interest is damaging Government and it must stop.
So give us a say.
We are having a say, labour are loosing over 50% of their council seats.
Douglas Alexander on Toady just now (unhappy with Nick Robinson’s angle):
“Robinson spoke to someone to give him the lines to use for his interview”.
I.e. an insider states this is Robinson’s modus operandi. BUT, if Toenails isn’t getting his lines from No.10 now, then who?
Also, earlier Barry Sheerman (Lab ‘rebel’) said during the night No.10 and Chief Whip had been contacting officers of his constituency party to put pressure on him; inmplying deselection? They’re vindictive buggers aren’ they?
Reports emanating about delays for SAT test marking, so that’ll be two years in a row Balls and who will you blame this year?
BREAKING NEWS – DARLING TO REMAIN AS CHANCELLOR – Sky News…
B.B.C. have it as well.
Bottler Brown – once again.
Darling stays !!!!!!!!
Deflection Politics
Take the focus off the local election wipe out by focus on Cabinet implosion.
This is a good day to bury good news.
Doh.
They have done some good things like the smoking ban, prempting an attack by Iraq and enabling young people to retire upon leaving school for example, but as a whole they need to try harder.
I’ll probably vote for New Labour if Gordon Brown remains PM because I feel sorry for him.
The smoking ban is not a good thing, you fascist nanny.
Iraq was no threat to the West, and you are a troll.
If the smoking ban was a good thing, why didn’t they ban it for themselves in the H o C Bars?
More women into the Cabinet ?.
After the best of the best from the all wummin selection process were all disasters and have all gone.
We now move onto 2nd division talent ….
Brown is shuffling but he is short of a full deck.
I will be wearing my “sensible” shoes this morning when I meet the outgoing Prime Mentalist.
And what about the giraffe print dress that was so attractively flaunted at PMQ yesterday ?
http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/Noneofthem/
Having voted yesterday today seems pretty surreal with no news at all on the local election results.
I am aware of why the EU results are delayed but can anyone tell me why the local election results are also delayed
A rapid count and declaration of results is usually to reassure voters that there is no room for fraud.
What does this slow announcment tell us?
So now Gordon has got some idea what Thatcher had to put up with when she was viciously and constantly attacked by Socialists for taking the difficult decisions needed to ensure a better future for Britain. Socialists…. it’s what we do.
We’re naff too.
What about my mock Tudor facade?
Don’t forget me!
You’ve got no class.
I’m on the compost heap and in no position to comment.
What’s going on with this bloody modding? Get a grip Guido.
Hey, I was #813!
No! I’m #813!
Would the real 813 please stand up, please stand up.
Well, this is all fun to watch of course, but does it really make any difference? I still can’t see the Labour turkeys voting for an early Christmas.
Good Post, 813B !

Yes when their all gone!
Following her cringingly arse-licking performance last night, Fiona Phillips has ousted Nick Robinson as Chief Turd Inspector.
She is now to be known as Toenails 2.
Amazingly she used QT as a unique platform to present her severe lack of intellegence.
Prior to last night I had given her the doubt that she was merely “Dizzy”
She mumbled and huffed and interjected like an 80 year old.
With nothing to say.
She left morning TV to look after her father.
Sadly, perhaps the condition is genetic so I’ll give her the benefit of doubt again.
Ferrets in the sack come to mind again today, most cabinet ministers hedging their bets only!
Brown bottles it. Quelle surprise. You’re a coward Gordon.
However, the longer they stay in power and in chaos, the longer they’ll be out of power in the long run.
So, carry on Gordon – you’re signing your own death warrant

Dawn Primalaro after the crushing defeat in Bristol
“But from speaking to people on the doorstep, as I have, it’s quite clear that people are saying we’ve got a Prime Minister who’s got strength, determination and intelligence and Gordon Brown will lead us out of this recession”.
Why oh why do they do this. We know they are lying totally and absolutely. These Labour scum are hated here and no one I know supports them and Brown is loathed with a passion.
I just hate it when a Labour apologist knowing lying start their sentence with
“What the people want ” or ” what the people say ”
and my particular pet hate is < "what the people want is for me to get on with my / the / our job which we were elected to do" which they fucking were not and they know it.
Elected to give a referendum but we never got one
I could have written that one – are you a mind reader, perhaps ?
“……a Prime Minister who’s got strength, determination and intelligence….”, …….unlike me who’s revealed herself as a mendacious, bull-shitting arse-wipe.
Guido, you need a few £ to make bail?

Looking like he might hang on… more’s the pity. No more heavyweights calling for him to go :-(
Instead of exposing my knobbishness quotient by trying to be first comment on the thread, maybe I can move the game on by trying to be the last.
Surely the real reason that Purnell has resigned is to spend more time cleaning his flat.
Alan Johnson is Home Secretary. Looks like it’s not going to happen.
Welcome to Liebour, leave your backbone at home you can write books on courage but please don’t have any,here’s your job and the trough is this way,what a load of weak people we have ruining this country, bye you Liebour sh*ts you will never get into power ever again,New Liebour the home of the sh*t,the home of the coward.
I see that this fallout is painful and protracted.
One more year of payback is small beer compared to 12 years of socialism we have had to endure.
Nah I don’t wanna see Gordon go, I just want to see this wretch endure more of the same.
Pickes on Sky just said that he doesn’t think they should ever be afraid of the electorate.
Troughing Hoon is a tad off course there!
Boulton says Johnson for Home Sec. His track record in delivery clearly stood him in good stead.
Home Secretary.
The worst post possible – almost nobody survives it without disgrace or serverely tarnished.
So – who gets it ?
Not Balls,
Not Cooper
So who ?
Adam Boulton on Sky said this ‘a grubby fight for the PM’s survival’
It certainly is an unedifying sight to watch this ‘man’ try and hold on to No.10.
The thought that comes to mind is that he would superglue his hands to his desk if he thought anyone was really going to try and march him out the door.
Gordon has just pulled his enemies closer, Alan Johnson Home Secretary. You have to laugh otherwise you would cry surely.
I ak afraid,very afraid that Brown will still be there by the end of next week – keeping Darling in place,Johnson to Home Office etc – the amazingly disastrous votes against Labout that are now starting to trickle out will be totally ignored by this crimoinal.
The result?
The hugely frustrated electorate will revolt next week – the sheer frustration of not being heard at yesterday’s ballot box will be the tipping point that brings the decent citizen on to the streets next week.
They better cancel all police leave….
Darling stays.
Night of the long knives turns into morning of the plastic spoons.
Johnson as Home Secretary means the chances of a contest have receded. Milliband either stays and thus pisses off Mandy. (always funny) or Goes and joins the chipmunk and Charles Clarke in the Email campaign.
A 6 has fell off Purnells door.
OMG !! Mandy on Sky now parrotting Gordon’s ‘getting on with our job’.
Why do these people have such a limited vocabulary and limited hearing to boot??
Where’s EdB. Bet he is in his office throwing a paddy because he never got that job he wanted !!!!
Mandy is now busy sneering at Purnell on the Newschannels.
Don’t worry Mandy if you don’t get the Foreign secretary job you will cheer up the Labour Backbenches and the whole country immensely.
Email plot being delayed and they are now saying they may not send the letter round at all. Looks like it is all fizzling out.
what an unholy mess
Mandy staying put.
Boulton:
“Peter Mandelson – who was speaking just a short time ago, has now gone into Downing St by the back door…”
Purnell – he of the fake photograph at Tameside Hospital, The expenses scandal for his flat, the cleaning bill expenses for what turned out to be a dirty flat when he left and in which the landlord kept his £2,500 deposit, also paid for by taxpayers out of his expenses, the 3,000 fridge magnets paid by the taxpayers. This is the smug bastard who wanted to charge 26.8% interest on loans to the most hard-up pensioners and benefit claimants.
A repellent man with lamprey lips and a lizard-like character who oozes smugness. One of Blair’s career politicians he hasn’t done a ‘real job’ in his life. And he is tipped as a possible future leader – God help us!
For all Broons’ words defending his actions and wanting to steer the economy etc. He is blatantly staying for his own egotistical and dysfunctional reasons. He states he is there to serve the public. Rubbish…if he believed that, he would have held a general election months and months ago.
He will go down in history as one of the most unpopular and incapable PMs in ous history.
Cant wait for the yesterdays election results to come in.
Hoping for an unmitigated, nuclear holocaust scale meltdown for Labour.
Spin your way out of that one idiot!!
ON THE SUBJECT OF PULLING THE TRIGGER.
HITLER CARRIED ON TO THE FINAL DESTRUCTION OF HIS COUNTRY BECAUSE NO ONE HAD THE COURAGE TO FINISH HIM OFF
I HOPE SOME CRAVEN COWARDS IN LIEBOUR, THAT MAY HAVE AN IOTA OF UNDERSTANDING AS TO HOW HATED THEY HAVE BECOME, FIND THAT COURAGE TO REMOVE BROWN NOW AND SAVE THE UK FROM FURTHER DAMAGE AND (THIS IS NOT BEING ALARMIST OR NAIVE) SEVERE PUBLIC DISORDER
So Purnell pulled his wire and fuck all happened. Same as when Milliprick tried the same thing.
These are nothing but children.
They remind me of Cameron and Osborne, another pair of bedwetters.
Caroline Flint “Top totty, my type of window candy”
Dawn Primarolo ” I have got to know the woman behind the moustache”
Hazel Blears “Pocket Rocket. Shame it’s ginger.”
Margaret Beckett “She always gets Dick Turpin home at night”
Stephen Pound must be too busy cottaging down in Hammersmith.
Yaaaaaawwwwwnnnnnn.
They think we still care? Not our problem.
It’s like dumping a foul, abusive boyfriend, you wake up the next day and feel amazing because you are FREE AT LAST, and I just know that’s exactly how I’m going to feel at dawn on June 5th. Just wonderful.
Comical Liam you mean.
Sure knuckle dragging Ruane would have obliged if he had the power of speech
Craven Cottage, surely ?

Believe me, that idiot is only ever on TV for comedy value. What a hoon…
Clapham Common actually
She will “flip” her loyalty by Monday dont you worry.
One can’t help wondering why you’d pick a foul abusive boyfriend in the first place.
At least we didn’t pick Gordon…
Mods/Guido – any chance of a new thread, this one is very broken now and there’s lots going on at No.10….??
Seconded.
cometh the moment cometh chaos I suppose.
Yes “Black Labour Monday”
Alan Johnson is better looking!
And more feminine.
