Browndemonium
This reshuffle is all about survival, Gordon Brown’s survival. He is trying to buy off his enemies, placate cabinet colleagues who could destroy him and stabilise his government. It looks like he is too weak to be able to put Ed Balls into the Chancellorship, so all last week’s public dithering about Darling’s position was pain for no gain.
Yvette Balls looks set for promotion so the bunker team is not without advance. Guido can’t help wondering what Mandelson is thinking. The serpent could, if he wanted, strike a fatal blow at any moment…
Taraaa………
Boom boom, let me hear ya say Wayyyyy Ohhhhhhh…..
Old Enoch was right – all political careers are doomed to end in failure – extra funny that Brown is failing so desperately and spectacularly.
Malevolent old trougher Prescott has a funny crack about Purnell being more Careerite than Blairite…
Be interesting to see what happens on Monday now that the reshuffle is brought forward to today.

Any truth in the rumour that Prescott has started a new blog called Come Fourth?
Is that what happens when he has 3 secretaries in bed with him?
“Two Lavs” Prescott
…Prescott has a funny crack…
So I’ve heard.
Well it looks like he is going to survive.
Good, he is going down with this ship.
Personally I think this is a disaster for the Labour, they have bottled the last chance to get rid of him.
Lib Dems will be Her Majesty’s Opposittion
He will go down next year, and take the Labour Party down with him.
Neither he, nor them will be missed.
W.W.
I’ve just resigned from Labour List and nobody cares.
I see that Postman Pat has been ‘promoted’ to the Home Office that well known graveyard of political ambition. Say what you like about the tartan muppet but he can be very vindictive.
Amazing! How the likes of Prescott and Martin rise to the top in British politics. Wonderful role models! No need for homo sapiens to have a brain at all.
BLAIRITE , BROWNITE , FULLASHITE….WHATS THE DIFFERENCE?
Can someone point me to a website that shows the election results in full. The BBC just lists the smaller parties as others, not good enough.
brown is in office not in power
that is a copied delivery, freddie, but who cares when it’s apt
Brown is in office and should be plugged into the nearest power
In celebration of the late triumphs enjoyed by Nu Labour in the local and European elections, my fellows and I in the ‘community’ where I live have been lost in the blissful revelry of satisfaction. Election Day was itself full of countless, empyrean pleasures registered by sense or inspirited in mind, and, without forsaking the Tao command of modesty; it would exhilarate me here to retell it to you proles.
Awoken early by the pungent warmth of an uncontrolled intestinal discharge, as usual, I struck my head thunderously against the padded walls until Nurse came in with my “calming fluid”. After being hosed down in the washroom for thirty minutes, and after drying, being given my morning “happy-time” electro-jolts, we breakfasted on orange water and mashed peaches, looking out from my thickly, steel mullioned window onto Crowthorne. It was then time to embark for the local polling booth, in preparation of which I was treated to some lollies, and I remembered nothing more until finding myself conscious again in the Nu Labour ‘Victory Rally’ enclosure. There, I reencountered many old friends, who greeted me with reassuring toothless grins, vacant stares, shrill screams and spontaneous crotch-wetting, though embarrassingly almost all of us were attired in the same garb, plain white jackets fastened at the back, and face muzzles. I was quick to engage my close chum Pete S with talk of Fidelity Graphics, which I invented you know, and DSPD. This was all, evidently, after the polls had actually closed, and if I didn’t remember voting, the lovely, kind-faced dyke unionist told me that such was my excitement I had filled out three thousand postal votes and stuffed thirty ballot boxes which I had now forgotten.
But now, (and I write at approximately 1:00pm) Nurse informs me it’s time for bed, so sleepy bye-byes to you all Tory nonconformists…
You had me for a minute Chuck
Good lord.. Are you THE Charles E. Hardwidge?

Charles never forgets his ‘E’ when poncing on about graphics fucking fidelity. An imposter, but an amusing one.
WAYYYYYY OHHHHHHHH
By the way-o, HUTTON RESIGNS!!!
“And another one down, and another one down, another one bites the dust YEAH!!!”
All morning the BBC has been an open mike for labour delusionists to patronise the public with the insane notion that the disastrous election results and the hatred in the country are a cross party issue to do with the expenses issue, and that is all over and Gordon is in control and he is the best man for the job and and the hatred in the country is nothing to do with labour per se.
BULLSHIT! Labour created the corrupt expenses regime and gave the fees office their leeway to be lax and allow prima facie cases of fraud by way of obtaining a Pecuniary Advantage by Deception.
People are angry with all parties, but they are angry most with the incompetence, greed and sheer nastyness of the party in Government.
The labour MP’s claiming that we are suffering economically because of a global recession that has nothing to do with Gordon’s policies is just plain bullshit.
Canada has not suffered like we are. Brown used the boom to create even more borrowing. Now the collapse has come (as he was warned repeatedly that it would) he is trying to borrow our way out of debt. INCREASING our national debt to a projected one TRILLION pounds plus. That will need to be repaid with interest. What will happen to any of the current runtish, thin and fragile greenshoots then?
How can the man who created the deepest UK recession for a century be the man to get us out of it properly?
His ‘boom years’ were entirely a mirage built on debt! There was no real productivity behind it. In fact in each of the years of the labour ‘boom’ from 2001 onwards, productivity in the UK decreased!
Any signs of economic recovery, to which labour MP’s are clinging to for dear life, are mirages too.
Now Hutton Resigns. We have lost a minister a day, and Brown and his delusional acolytes are claiming the party is united and strong???
Comical Ali in Baghdad claiming the Americans were being slaughters and driven out of Baghdad had more credibility.
You missed a boom.
Gordon got the ‘bust’ bit though.
I’m dying of cancer and all people do is laugh. I’ve got maybe 6 months. Can’t people be nice just for 6 months?
Everything comes from within. I go without.
real CEH, probably I’m missing the clue but what’s supposed to be funny about your comment?
“Purnelldemonium”
Any reshuffle that puts Cooper and Elvira more in the public eye has got to be good news for Tories.
Just what is Sugar (and his off shore bank account and Rolls Royce Phantom) going to do.
Alan Sugar: estimated wealth £830 million, telling us how to run our lives while the country and most of us in it are up financial shit creek.
More pearls of wisdom and keenly-honed judgement from the one-of-these-days-I’ll-get-something-right (perhaps!) Brown.
The Tories will have a field day.
Brown……..you’re fired.
I’d take advice from Alan Sugar before I took any advice from any fucking politician.
The man made his own money, didn’t just steal ours.
The Penguin
Wot, like David Cameron the thief claiming interest mortgage payments to build his housing empire?
Bloody millionaires stealing from the taxpayer. Whatever next.
Very dodgy character.
Enterprise Tsar – FFS.
The bloke always gives me the feeling of a ‘dodgy barrow boy’.
Hey, Penguin,
‘The man made his own money, didn’t just steal ours.’
Well, yes, he didn’t steal it directly but stop for a moment and think. It still came from us, and for what ?
The Penguin says:
“The man made his own money, didn’t just steal ours”
So you didn’t buy an Amstrad PC then?
1) Sugar has nothing to do at all with Amstrad any more. His only IT interest is in Viglen.
2) His ‘wealth’ is based upon a property portfolio evaluated in 2007 – so very unlikely to be worth that amount of money today.
3) Sugar pretty much echoes New Labour – Amstrad went from a £1.2Bn company in the 90′s down to being sold for around £100m in 2007.
I wouldn’t take ANYTHING from Alan Sugar.
His amstrad products were a pile of shite.
He was on the BBC today saying Gordon Brown is the best thing since sliced bread. With judgement like that at the helm, I would be selling all my shares in his enterprises.
The “apprentice” show is worthless and only pits the most useless fuckwits ever to drag their knuckles along against each other to publicly demonstrate their utter incompetence at everything they try.
I would not offer an interview to ANYONE on “the apprentice” let alone actually give these incompetent, amateurs a real job.
His wealth comes from bankrupting IBM UK (look at the size of their stock right downs when he undercut them by well over 50% and changed the pricing model for PCs in the UK.
That said it was a geat mistake.
If he had continued with a word processor that carried only tested software he might have been richer than Bill Gates by now and we’d all be using derivations of Amstrads, CCPM and Netscape.
I used to buy Viglen pc’s for a major retailer in the late 90′s…..should’ve seen the returns
Real fear from the Tories about Sir Alan.
He’s popular. Politicians ase most definitely NOT.
Yes, not even the Tory ones I’m afraid.
Wait and see what call me Dave says about Sugar.
You’re going to be very disappointed if you think Dave or any of the Shadow Cabinet will attempt to pour very much scorn on him.
Remember them ? The Shadow Cabinet ? No. Neither does the public.
They know who Sir Alan is though.
#426
So Sir Al is going to being something like Gordo’s human shield then?
Most people see him for what he is, a brash barrow boy with a big ego who’s done alright for himself.
@423
That’s not limited to just Viglen. The number of Dells I had to return until they changed the rules on returns was pretty bad too.
So, #426, you pillock. You really think the great unwashed will be happy about having yet another un-elected placeman stuck in the House of Lords just so he can be made a Minister in the Great Gorgon’s Government of No-Talents?
Brown’s answer to electoral, political, social and economic meltdown? Just appoints more non-elected Ministers!
Pathetic.

He was on the BBC today saying Gordon Brown is the best thing since sliced bread. With judgement like that at the helm,
I think there is a case for a sidebar, separate site or whatever, just logging the various ‘great, good and all round goofy’ who seem to think going on record as saying stuff like that in what have seemed/seems a good idea then/now, and then available to call up in evidence from their own mouths in the future when been interviewed of judged for office, etc.
A bit like a FaceBook picture, six sheets to the wind, mooning a nun at the office party. Only a tad more damning as booze cannot be used as mitigation for such howlingly poor judgement.
An oligarchy rebadged as democracy!
Would the Noble Lord Mandy call his friend Deripaska as well?
Sweet!
Just another instance of Brown and New Liebore sucking up to celebrities. Particularly celebrities who donate money to them. A charmless, egotistical, Tottenham supporting oaf. The downside for Pa Broon is that if Sugar disagrees with him, he won’t hesitate to tell him in public.
Sugar is a celeb, a bit of a dinasour, not a great role-model for educating yourself and going to university etc, and generally a bit grumpy. I can see why Brown picked this shining beacon to join his team for the next few days – suits his style and depth of character assessment perefectly, next we’ll have Jeremy Kyle in the cabinet and Fiona Phillips will be asked to …er….sorry , that’s already happened.
Sugar once was a good business man when he made things recently he has become a property porn king and is heading for a hard landing. One of his mates (a rough tough interviewer on prior yrs Appretice) was mysteriously missing from this years: ah yes he is bust.
Perhaps Sir Al needs another re inflated Brown property boom (like when Brown reopened the money taps in 2004) to save his skin… Come to think of it there are plenty of craven corrupt property speculators in the cabinet…. another boom any one please?
Listen to twat Woodward and you would think the economy is now heading back to the black.
Paddy hit the nail on the head last night about the brown not having any celebs around to #10 for Tea and Scones. So what doe’s Mandy organise, someone who’s semi liked by the public and a supporter. Sugar Lips.
Alan Sugar is a very shrewd niche operator who made a stack of money and employs other folk while paying a shedload of tax over the years. No-one forced anyone to buy his Amstrad Low Fi or his low range PC’s, people had a choice and made him rich by choosing his products instead of others. I was part of an audit team looking into Amstrad plc shortly after the massively hyped and mega-successful floatation, I’ve been sworn at by Alan Sugar and survived!
I’d sooner have him in charge than Jonah or Voldemort.
The Penguin
He’s the Apprentice-Prime-minister.
A job that carries a six-figure-salary, working for someone who “controlled a vast business empire” (once…)
Can we put a leash on Gordo to stop him “spunking our money up the wall”?
I had a dream last night about Nick Robinson.
Something strange happened in my pyjamas. Mummy says it’s normal.
Brown is hoping the economy will recover and he can piggy back off that.
There are very contradictory signals. For example City AM shadow MPC said QE was starting to work – but the evidence, quote Reuters 2 days ago said that QE wasn’t working because M4 lending only increased by 0.2% in other words dwon from earlier in the year before QE. So I think the shadow MPC are talking aboiut non-QE. It’s obvious banks are just filing their balance sheets at the moment with large margins on loans and will be looking to pay the Government back sooner rather than later. So either way the banks performance will improve – with a V bounce later in the year. Having said that we are in a retail-hit recession with shops and consumer services being hit hard. So this will not pick up so fast.
What does this mean for Brown – well interestingly Conservative areas – such as the S.E. will pick up better than the Labour areas, which will bear the brunt. So I think Brown may hope for a recovery but he will be wrong because Labour areas will be hit harder than they are now next June.
The city will NEVER recover; it is f***ked!
All you hear at the moment about ‘green shoots’ is nonsense. It is either false propaganda put out by Mandleson and his many very rich friends or dodgy figures released by government quangos or nationalised banks. The FIAT monetary system has done full circle and cannot possibly recover. We need a new system.
The markets are slightly up because the big investors know everything is f***ked but they can still make small amounts of profit by playing the markets before everything finally crashes big time (probably in the autumn 2009). It is these wealthy people who are manipulating the markets and making even more money while we all suffer.
You speak the truth, at the moment the firm I work for and its clients are still looking for said shoots. The decline has stopped but no recovery yet.
I cannot see how dumping a few hundred billion into the banks to lend out could NOT have some effect on the economy and create SOME green shoots. However it is even more of a mirage than the boom years that were funded entirely by debt.
The enormous amount of debts being built up by the state will need to be repaid. That will KILL any green shoots dead.
When we should be coming out of the recession next year, we will now be heading even deeper into one.
The banks are keeping hold of any money given to them by the govt as their collective toxic debt is a lot worse than they are letting on. I reckon the final plunge for our economy will be in September this year.
By printing money this hopeless govt have simply delayed judgement day – and what is more – their fiddling will make the final fall much worse.
Well done Brown the clown and his idiotic sycophants! How to trash a country in 6 months!
There’s city and city. The froth sector of investment banking and flaky derivative trading has been blown away, but the insurance market, the big law firms and commodities markets are still very strong, although seriously irritated by Brown and Darling making a complete crock of shite of public finances and the tax system. Put simply, if you are just trading any old shit, real or imaginary, you are dead, but if you have a real business things should be different.
I am a big fan of apocalyptic nonsense, especially if executed with conviction on a large CGI budget. This post (232) is a promising premise for a City-based disaster movie which will blow its promise by the disappointing Act Two climax.
If stored value has finished its ‘grain vault’, ‘physical asset in hard-won metal’ and ‘fiat money-as-embodiment-of-promise-to-pay-on-demand’ phases, does the poster have any suggestion for a successor?
The Linden Dollar has promise as a parallel currency tradeable within the community of Second Lifers. There’s an episode of South Park where the kids game the system to get maximum benefit for minimum effort (even subcontracting labour to China) – its just like real money, only the assets are all represented as binary digits on a server somewhere.
Just like ‘real fiat currency’ is.

LONDON PONDERS ITS FUTURE AS FINANCIAL POWERHOUSE
By Landon Thomas Jr. Published: April 28, 2009
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/29/business/global/29city.html
“………………….“By 2010, the U.K. will have the largest budget deficit in the developed world,” said Richard Snook, a senior economist at the Center for Economic and Business Research in London. “The problem is that the financial services industry has been a huge cash cow for the British government for the last 10 years and now it is going into reverse.”
The country’s budget deficit has soared to 12 percent of gross domestic product; its public debt burden could soon reach 80 percent of annual economic output, a figure that would leave it roughly in the same position as Greece…………….”
…………“Lord Adair Turner, the chairman of the Financial Services Authority, agrees that London as a financial center will be in for an adjustment and says that a large portion of the banking industry’s profit contribution to the economy was “illusory.”…………………..

WEAK POUND BRITAIN’S BEST HOPE FOR RECOVERY
By Ian Campbell, Breakingviews.com Published: 1:04PM BST 05 Jun 2009
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/breakingviewscom/5452188/Weak-pound-Britains-best-hope-for-recovery.html
“The axe over Gordon Brown has sharpened investors’ perception of the risks facing the UK and sterling. The pound has fallen – and needs to. For sterling weakness gives the fragile UK economy its only hope of growing out of trouble”…………….
This has been driven by markets’ willingness to embrace risk once more after a winter of fear and selling. But the UK’s acute risks have been overlooked in the rally. The country’s fiscal deficit may be of the order of 12pc of GDP this year, four times higher than the limit imposed by the Maastricht treaty.
The government is likely to need to issue some £200bn of debt – many times higher than in the past. This mountain must be sold by a nation whose triple-A credit rating is under threat and a government whose credibility is already gone……………”
Brown could learn a lot from David Carradine. Climb into a wardrobe, put a noose around your neck and have a quick one off the wrist. After all it worked for Stephen Milligan ..
Even his hand would disown him at the moment!
Reminds me of that old joke:
What’s the defintion of rejection?

He is so fucking jinxed, the rope would snap, and the wardrobe collapse around him.

Quantitative Easing is legalised asset theft.
You magic money from thin air at a touch of a button, then you “spend” the fake, fictitious money on buying assets. Your asset has thus been stolen, purchased with imaginary funny money. But because New Labour did it, it’s all perfectly legal.
BASTARDS!
That is the basis of fractional reserve banking of fiat currencies anyway. It costs them 4p to create a twenty pound note. That twenty pound note has absolutely NO value backing it whatsoever, but merely an empty promise to pay value at some undetermined point in the future.
All money is created by the click of a mouse as a loan and then interest is charged upon that. The problem is, for every pound created, the interest owed on that pound is NOT. Therefore there is never enough money in circulation to repay the capital, plus the interest, unless another loan is created.
The whole thing is a fucking big scam!!!
Gillian Tett at the FT says the ‘recovery’ will most probably be like the Pitman shorthand for the word ‘bank’ (spooky).
Steep down stroke, followed by a shallow ‘u’ then a horizontal line forever.
Alan Sugar to become peer and get some sort of enterprises minister role – sources (the ever so unbiased Guardian).
Susan Boyle now looks likely to get peerage as well and become culture minister. Same for Beckham and sports.
Last-ditch efforts before complete meltdown?
The Tories will be laughing their socks off, especially when some drone stands up and asks “What is the PM going to do about the Opposition’s second careers?”
very sharp indeed!
Also: Mandelson, Vadera and Sugar, all lords doing more or less the same. No wonder UK productivity is so low!

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.
Mandy won’t be Foreign Secretary!! Every cloud has a silver lining!!!

His dream job undone because of the plotting of the Blairites.
How’s this for a wheeze!
Give Mandy the job he wants as Foreign secretary then send him out to Iran and rescind his diplomatic imunity.
Sharia law can be useful sometimes, they might just show him the quick way down from a high building. :0)

Labour simply do not and never did have the faintest idea how to run an economy.

So Darling’s now got Balls’s balls in one pocket and Brown’s balls in the other.
From above they look like Darth Vader’s spacecraft spinning into the void.

I can’t believe Alan Sugar is on the brink of coming in. Total populist politics from a weak leader.
Alan Sugar – bought millions of Woolies shares days before it disappeared into a cloud of smoke. Anyone remember Amstrad??
The bloke has a little talent for appearing on a shite TV program that doesn’t relate to real life, or an effective recruitment drive, and that deserves a place in Government.
Shite.
Ignorant shite.
You’re fired!
You’re in the mire !
“Your fired!”
Hmmm that’s going to go down well when thousands of car workers are being laid off and unemployment rockets to 4 or 5 million over the coming months.
Not exactly a vote winner is it?
About Alan Sugar, Labour has always been dazzled by showbiz and money; remember Harold Wilson and the Beatles? This is the last throw of a gambler who has lost and lost and lost, but will receive an index-linked pension when he goes, that we, who will have no choice but to pay for his wrecking the economy, will also have to pay for. If Brown really did have Presbyterian principles, he would have gone long ago, would not have lied about how well he was running the economy, would not have boasted about ending boom and bust. He brags about his moral compass, but the truth is that he has no morals at all.
OUT WITH HIM NOW AND HIS ROTTEN COHORTS WITH HIM!
LET US HAVE THE PROMISED VOTE ON THE LISBON TREATY!
GIVE US THE GENERAL ELECTION WE WANT AND NEED!
After his success as presenter of Celebrity Cannibal Wannabees, Sugar Babe is to star in the role of Lord Levy in the new production of Love it Labour Lost.
He could also star in a new Carry On film as Sid James.
He’ll get a six-figure-salary of course.
Is his firm down to six figures yet? used to be nine (….”eight hundred million pounds”…heavy breathing by FVO…)
Alan Suger *wanted* to buy loads of Woolies shares but couldn’t complete the transaction because of the Icelandinc banking collapse.
Alan Sugar created Amstrad which had a market capitalisation of well over £1bn and a leading market share of the home computer market in the 1980′s, but because of his pathological inability to value investment and creativity, as well as an unusual proclivity to piss people off, lost most of that and sold the business for a fraction of that. He has a leveraged property portfolio bought at the height of the market and makes the bulk of his money now from selling cheap freeview boxes that expire after a few months usage. In a sense he is a bit of a metaphor for Nulabour’s Britain. I just hopes he gets to say “Gordon Brown, this is a complete shambles and you’re a lightweight. You’re fired!”
Alan Sugar did extremely well and has more business acumen than all the cabinet put together.
The Penguin
Yes, but to be honest, so does my cat.
I wish my cat had Alan Sugar’s fucking money.

Sugar is well remembered from his early days, selling shoddy hifi components from a room upstairs from Brentwood Taxis. Arrogant little sh*t in a striped shirt but what could you expect from a family that flogged goods of doubtful provenance from a market stall.
Leave Sugar alone me and him are drinking buddies down the Nags Head.
Ps Alan see you down the market tomorow morning, Cooshtie
Yes, I agree. He personifies exactly what is not great about Britain. God help us if the establishment thinks he’s our best role model (On the opther hand the House of Lords is full of such nonentities).
Is the vulgar, bullying Alan Sugar really to represent the New Labour model of industrial relations? Heaven help us!
There may be a swift peerage in this for AMS.
…told you. Its just been announced for the new Business Tsar.
Sugar better be squeeky, because all his past will be under the spotlight. I have my doubts he will last the course.
Don’t watch Apprentice as all the people seem, well,soooo common and useless.As for Alan Sugar…saw him last night on Room 101.He is so full of himself and so chippy.Paul Merton ran rings around him.He came across as very petty.For somebody who is supposedly an incredibly successful businessman he appears to have a massive inferiority complex with no sense of humour.Should fit in well with Gordo.

Let’s not forget that it really should be Alistair Darling. He changed the designation of his second home four times in four years. The taxpayer paid for the stamp duty on his third residence. Such a Chancellor has zero credibility. Not firing him is an act of breathtaking expedience.
They’ve had very good news today from Scotland Yard and the CPS.
David Dumbleby still banging on about that f….g duckpond with no mention of this group of thieving lying Labour b………s

John Hutton
Of course I predicted it all. !!
But did you predict John Hutton resigning this morning? I know you think it’s irrelevant, because he didn’t glass Brown with a broken bottle first, but that’s another one you missed!
Bring me sunshine…………………………..
What an idiot we have for PM, not trusted by senior cabinet members, not trusted by a huge swathe of his back benchers, and not trusted by the public. The converse is also true, he doesn’t trust the public enough to call a general election.
Lord Sugar of Hackney Marsh to be Minister with Responsibility for Shit Computers
Baroness Casey to be Minster in charge of letting prisoners out early.
Any chance of an elected prime minister appointing elected ministers?
Democracy? Yeah, fucking right.
Baroness Uddin for Housing?

It will be wonderful when Lord Handlebum of Boy is out of office.
My father knew his father and said of him that he was the most awful person that he ever met. It has continued to the next generation, but thankfully, with his predeliction for the male member, the line stops with Handlebum
“Just take a look at what you could have won…”
I’d be quite happy to give them all ‘BFH.’ You can’t beat a bit of bully – how appropriate…
Nothing for 3 in the bed.

All democratically elected governments have but one task. To end in calamity.
True – and ALL Labour governments run out of OUR money.
Should add “again and again and again”!
I am sure that with each passing minute, the lower the respect the public will have for the Labour party. They will eventually have to listen. By which time they will be out of power for a generation. Is that a good position to arrive at?
It is an excellent position to arrive at. The thought of Labour being in no position to bugger up the UK for at least 2 generations keeps me warm in bed at nights when nursey has time off for bad behaviour.
What they have done to Britain has buggered it for at least 2 generations already. Furthermore, I fear the buggery will continue in opposition, if Lord Fondlebum and Ben Bradshaw are anything to go by.
Fucked or buggered?
Brown will carry on. This lot know that if he goes, an election will be called and most of the fodder will lose their seats. My money is still on 2010 for a GE. They are the most useless bodies of idiots I have ever known.
Anyway whats the current bun talking about with its green shoots of recovery? Tossers
John, you are correct. It shows the weakness of the intellectual pygmies in the Liebour party. The good news is that the longer this goes on the less chance we will see the Liebour tossers again. Its killing the country, but eventually it will rise again (I hope) but probably not in my lifetime.
Goodness things aren’t that fucking bad, a lot of money got wiped out, but it’s nowhere FUCKING NEAR the worst case scenario envisaged a year ago, cheer the fuck up, the country is not nearly as awful as you all seem to suggest, stop being such a bunch of dramatic pussies.
It’s either the Nulab or Eton Front bench, makes little difference, the same corruption will be in place, the tory FB has very little to offer us either, I’m no fan of labour or brown but I think you have to avoid presuming that the tories are going to fucking sort it all out.
We need a different system of government, not one devised before transportation was available, before phones were available, and before the fucking internet was available, that’s the problem, the system is an antique and we still expect it to work in the modern world.
Can’t you all just vote for me, I promise I’ll make this country less of a shit tip.
Sure we’ll vote for you, I might even start going door to door for you, tell us more of your FANTASTIC IDEAS.

Looks like less of a reshufle and more of a case of just backfilling cabinet posts of those that have recently resigned.
Johnson to Home screams of a move for the sake of appearing like a reshuffle but it would have made more sense to have bumped denham to home.

Parliament Notices
Found: On Westminster Bridge in the early hours of this morning.
One spine.
Could D.Milliband please report to the Lost and Found Office to reclaim it.
Shouldn’t that be Liebour the home of the spineless.
Wooo plop.
So he bottled getting rid of a Chancellor who changed the designation of his second home four times in four years.
Every business that follows the Chancellor’s tax code, every individual feeling the squeeze when they give £2 to the Treasury for each £1 of petrol in their car, will remember that all the money goes to a good cause. Paying for the stamp duty on Alistair Darling’s third residence.
That’s right Phil! That just how it is!
He’s taken his cock out and pissed over 60 million people.
I think the serpent probably deeply regrets leaving the gravy-train.
No, he does nothing without reason, odious cock sucking turd that he is, Gordo will be quaking, waiting the fangs to strike as they surely will.
I think the serpent has no regrest and is enjoying the game, he’ll strike and they’ll be no antidote. Odious p*ick
If Brown was replaced as PM it would downcast the Tories.
That is why they are pushing for a general election instead.
Nah, if Brown went Labour would be in turmoil. They would have no choice but to call an election. Following the expenses scandal, the electorate simply wouldn’t accept a second unelected PM.
Ashdown had it right last night – the expenses backlash will be bigger later rather than sooner. Keeping Gordon hanging on…just… is Cameron’s best strategy. It looks like he’ll get his wish.
Nice and overcast here. Olive nymph or damsel fly?
Quite fair, but it doesnt leave the Labour party what would be the sensible option for any politician in such a position – get a new leader, get a few months for things to calm down.
As it stands the turkeys in the Labour party have to alternative hellish versions of christmas to go for: Keep Brown for up to a year, or have a general election.
Baron Mandy on BBC News saying he supports the only “heavyweight in British politics.” Purnell didn’t resign because he disagreed with policy, just because he didn’t like the GB. In short Purnell was a silly boy.
briefing against Purnell, much as I hate the bastard, began in the early hours. Even Barry Sheerman is now seen as a ‘rebel’ FFS
So Mandy’s supporting Prescott, then?
Why, is Prezza coming back?!
He still hasn’t brought my scotch on the rocks, the little bar-steward.
Mandy loves Pickles.
…he’ll take that as a condiment.
You should see how many mini gerkins he can shovel
Looks like Purnell has been set adrift by his ex cabinet colleagues. Is he the only one who’s got any balls? (Apart from Gordon, that is, who has got two basket-Balls for the price of one – what a vile pair.
Gordy has only got one eye
He has a nice brown eye – so does Tone.
that will make him one blank then?
Purnell’s playing the long game. When McMental and cabinet henchmen have been poleaxed at next GE he will emerge as new Moses to lead New Zanulab out of the wilderness.
I assume Millipede and Darling had a pact that they either both stayed or both would go.Brown bottled it again.No Foreign Office for Mandy-will he go nuclear?
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quite likely.
How much longer can this go on….everyone except Gollum can see that he’s finished.
More and more, he reminds me of Monty Python’s Black Knight.
“It’s just a flesh wound!”

The current situation is pretty serious for the country.
The position of Mandelson the Unelected seems to be pivotal in it all. Talk is he is expanding his department. As Johnson moves to the Home Office and Darling remains the die is cast for a long bitter period as, unsurprisingly, New Labour puts itself before the country. Its needs are obviously more important than the needs of a nation in dire economic and political straits. Brown is briefing against colleagues as I write, despite his precarious position. The bunker ‘elite’ are performing their hound-dog actions, all to save Brown. If ever there was somebody who deserves a kicking, it’s Brown himself. He is a traitor and a liar and I just hope someone will emerge soon to rid us of the deluded and dangerous arsewipe.
Mandy likes to enlarge the circle of his friends.

by circle of friends you mean daisy chain(ing) dont you?

Pity the poor Labour grassroots, watching the sad demise of a great dynasty as they struggle to eke out a living in Islington, Primrose Hill & Tuscany !!
It is frightfully hard nowdays. I have taken to only buying organic mung bean tea from the co op (so much cheaper and fair tradee too, which as I tell Tarquin and Tabitha as I pack them into our chauffeur driven Pirus is sooo important nowdays).
If this carries on I shall have to let our Romanian au pair go and cancel my suscription to the Grandiaud.
I do so hope Labour get back in at the next election to save us all from this terrible poverty.
Run that past me again… No, still no pity.
Most will still vote for them!
Alan Sugar – the ugly face of Labour politics
Nice One Knacker.
SAS took AMSTRAD public, made pots of money, couldn’t hack the corporate sector, buggered the share price, took the company private again and left 1000,s of small investors with a thumping loss. Sounds like a man after Browns’ heart.
Exactly – and isn’t it a sign of the utter cultural abyss that Britain’s fallen into that everyone latches desperately onto fifth-rate “personalities” and squeezes the life out of them? It’s the same with food. We have some of the best in the world and the majority lives on chewing gum and kettle chips.
…on the back of Brillo brown nosing him in The Sunday Times every week for ten years.
94 – Grumpy Old Man.
Could we see Gordon on the Apprentice – Has he every had a “proper job” maybe he ‘s going to start training for a job outside Government.
Has Alan Sugar been in number 10 to tell him “You’re Sacked?”
Or is Gordon just sucking up to another celebrity whose’s made a few quid?
The idea that this loathsome character should have any unelected say in running our country is truly appalling. I thought we were supposed to be moving on from the days of get-rich-quick property speculators manipulting the economy.
But perhaps Sugar is bringing a big bag of gold with him to make him more attractive. He has already ‘contributed’ over £200,000 to the New Labour cause.
Being the man he is though, he’ll want a cut-price Peerage!
And a rebate.
The Penguin
Peerage coupons and Peerage raffles this summer!
He donated £200,000 to Labour in 2001.
Will that suffice?
Good luck Sugar. This could be the biggest mistake he’s ever made once the press start digging into his business dealings.
Lets hope they are already on the case. The man is appalling and yet another unelected socialist like Handlebum of Boy, Uddin, Brown as PM and the whole ship of fools
Hm. Not so much a proper reshuffle as just replacing all the ministers who resigned this week.
This would be funny if it weren’t for the tragic fact that these goons are actually running* the country (or pretending to).
* Not sure if I spelt that right
RUINING, you mean, although there is little left for them to ruin.
Didn’t you mean ‘RIMMING’?
Who’s got the Trident Codes?
Have to ask Barrie Obermeyer nicely to use those.
On a laptop in the siding at Clapham Junction is my guess.
Where the fuck are the polling results?
A few results dripping out here and there but the suspense is killing me!
Counting acros the country isn’t starting until 1000. Council workers need their beauty sleep and can only work 37 1/2 hours a week – ah bless.
We’ll not be told.
Anyone who is still in doubt about the state of our democracy, should remember today. No-one gives a flying fuck how we voted.
Democracy is for foreigners!
“Business tycoon Sir Alan Sugar, who has been tipped for a government job, also backed Mr Brown saying: “We are in an emergency situation as far as the economic conditions go… I can not think of a better person to be in place.” BBC.
From seller of truly tacky consumer electronics, to presenter of Celebrity Cannibal Wannabees, into the bosom of New Labour to whom he has donated at least £200,000….
How truly vile! How truly New Labour.
So Gordon has sent Johnson to the Home Office. Hmmm- every Home Office Minister in recent times has come to grief because of this poisoned chalice.
Gordon is clearly hoping to finish Johnson off here before he can mount his leadership challenge.
But what game is Mandy playing ???? Why is he still supporting this loser???
It wouldn’t be a poisoned chalice if the minister who was given the responsibility for the HO had any nous or competence.
ALL of ZaNuLieBor’s attempts have been late term abortions!
Wow!
What power Mandelstein has!
Hasn’t he lived for this moment, and how can he use it to avenge his grandfather?
Mandelson + Rasputin = Mandelsputin.
Power behind the throne or what?
Vladimir + Putin = Vladimirputin
He will do nothing to bring Brown down. He knows if Brown goes, Labour surely follows and will no longer be in power. Mandelson will do what it takes to make sure Labour stay at the helm, God help us. I am so pissed off that this seems to be sizzling out but, as has been said before, Labour just do not get rid of PM,s end of story. Stuff the country, is their cry, we don’t sack PM’s
Mandelson doesn’t support a faction. He has to do everything in his power to help Labour stay in government. Without them, his seat in the Lords is worthless, because his real brief is to deliver our Post Office to the “them” at a nice knock-down price.
Am I wrong?
Power behnd the throne aka the hand that wanks the captain steers the ship.
How appropriate?
Mandelsputin = Dustmen in lap

Cooper was only being a good comrade – HIps are an EU diktat. I hope Labour were fucking annihlated at the Euros and the Euro hating parties get masses of seats.
If Brown was really smart….he’d call an election right now and crush all those gits who are blaming him for the mess they are ALL collectively responsible now. Sending them all into oblivion.
Reshuffle?!!
Gordon should do a shuffle as I do; a £10 order and a shuffle of the wrist.

Alan Johnson is currently reaping what he sowed. By speaking recently in favour of proportional representation he forced the NuLab luddites to rally round their badly maimed leader. The fatal blow will be dealt by the backbenchers instead.
Paul Waugh now says that the rebels may not send round their “secret” letter after all. Fucking Huhnes must have read Broon’s book on courage!
Beware the Snakeheads they have a way of obtaining revenge for crossing them, Gordo, beware this could get very, very nasty, a blood of blood spilt and they move quietly.
It never ends – more snouts in the trough. These Huhnes never do what is best for Britain, only what is best for them. Why cannot the Blairites get fucking organised? Useless wet farts. We want Broon’s head on stake now, but the chances are slipping by the minute.
Brown has just shafted the Postman
Yes. Mandelson is now the most imporant man in British politics. He has the power to destroy Brown and bring about aregime of his chosing or control Brown and bring about a regime of his chosing.
can mandelson be bought with a top job in Brown’s cabinet? On previous form then yes, Mandy would sell his granny if he could see a self benefit.
Blair is controlling Brown through Mandelson.!
Woodward to Defence! You just couldn’t make that up.

Guido must have been the only person not to have trod the No. 10 boards these past 12 hours, judging by the selections so far advertised. Yvette Cooper a potential cabinet minister?!??! she’d have been laughed off the candidate list of milk monitors at my old Comprehensive, FFS.
Watching ‘Vette mangling the English language on Sky this AM couldn’t help wondering if she’s got a tramp stamp. (Anyone seen her in a cozzy?) She’s got the sort of diction more usually heard falling out of an Ibiza disco in white stilletto’s with its knickers in its handbag.
“falling out of an Ibiza disco in white stilletto’s with its knickers in its handbag”
Peter Mandelson – the early years.
Thank you so much for that mental picture. I was actually having a pretty good day so far … Labour badly trounced in the elections, Purnell fisting Brown so hard that Brown can trim his fingernails with his dentures, Alan Johnson desparately taking the poison chalice of Home Office … and then someone conjures up the image of The Slimey One knickerless in white stilettoes emerging pissed and unsteady from an Ibiza rathole..

“Margaret Beckett in an Agent Provocateur advert?”

Despite everything, I think Brown is going to hang on. The election results will be terrible and will be ignored, Purnell resigning will be ignored, the plot is fizzling out.

He won’t make it past Wednesday (99% chance).

So he either disappears or his life is a ratcheting misery? Works for me either way.
I kike the way they will blame the voter, ‘temporary,’ backlash on ‘the expenses episode’. If that isn’t reason enough for FS! Never mind they are just plane incompetant and arrogant and had fucked the nation up long before Guido & DT came to balance the bbc propaganda. I fear he will hold on and only a tax or general strike will change things now.
‘I kike’ – bravo Sir!

Instead of all that weekend magazine posing, after make-over, in slinky red dress, perhaps she’ll do a photoshoot in a slinky nurse’s uniform. (Oh, and then blather on again about not wanting to be seen as a sex-symbol.)
Guido, Mandelson has got where he wants to be – all that he wants now is to become the grande dame of Labour, protector, king maker, eminence greaze (think KY jelly) and trusted chairman of the machine. It really is amazing how much Labour disintegrated and given itself over to this creature who now preens himself as its top powerbroker. As Kinnock would say, ‘Things can only get better!’

5. Nothing to plug leak?

What appears to have slipped under the radar is the fact that Blears, Purnell & Smith were BIG Troughers all – the Fiddlers Three.
They were all happy to support Gord MacBeth when times were good, when they could trough at will but they all signed up to and presided over the collective collapse of the countries infrastructure, democratic values, education standards, impoverishment of the elderly, increased command and control sovietisation of all levers of government, the pernicious bullying of left wing PC ideology, the selling off of our reserves at a knock down price, the rise of vain celebrity conscious politicos, the appeasement of criminals & terrorists, the utter shambles of an “immigration” policy, the human rights farce and a creeping authoritarianism that started with Handlebum & Blair and just gets chillingly worse……….
Now they have all been found out, they are all suddenly “noble” and to quote D’Acona “potential leaders” – of an outdated late 19th century class war socialist ideology well passed it’s sell by date.
Brilliant analysis as always. Glad to see you are back Reaper
When is The Telegraph going to start the Expenses releases again?
Yes I was wondering that.
It would be interesting if they had something revealing to report about Gordon’s expenses wouldn’t it? And I read a rumour somewhere that they have.
If they have, this might be good time to publish.
I think that they will wait until the dust settles form crap poll results, crap reshuffle and when Gordon is at the “top his game” – a sudden kick to the gonads and spill the beans on his “new” cabinet..
Even more interestingly when are the other Tabloids and Broadsheets going to get the Data ? Because if anyone thinks that disk is going to stay exclusive property of the DT forever then they don’t know journalists.
Tomorrow with any luck…
Maybe starting with a resume of all the troughing attributed to all members of the ‘Re-shuffled ‘Cabinet’. Including the self dealing, one eyed chief croupier, himself.
Just in case they thought we’d forgotten all about it. We haven’t.
Bring it on, D Telegraph!

Am digging out my suitcases from the attic,emigrating to a far off land – Brown will continue to ruin this country before the election next March
The most unbelievable thing about Brown staying in power is that he will deliver the complete and total annihilation of his party as a force in politics for years to come. He’s also going to hand the keys to every single bank in the country to the Conservative party, boxed and wrapped up and tied with a bow, imagine the fun they will have!! For the hard working socialists in the outlying regions, life is going to get incredibly tough under a conservative government redressing the balance. All those government jobs in places like Scotland and Wales, what do they imagine will happen to those?
Poor old socialists, in every sense of the word!!

Be careful what you say here, there are far reaching implications in saying this kind of thing and we don’t really want to waste the mountain rescue teams time having to recover your body from half way up a Scottish Mountain.
There’s a good chap!
Gordon Brown is the best man to lead Britain, and the world, there is no-one else at all who could come anywhere close. He works incredibly hard behind the scenes, and he was most excellent dealing with all the flooding at the start of his premiership.
In fact nearly everything that God in his wrath has thrown at him, he has quietly dealt with on all our behalf’s without any thanks. Its irrelevant whether he is capable of the job, lacks any charisma whatsoever, is arrogant, conceited, or stuck the Knife into Tony Blair, an election genius.
Let him get on with destroying his party and country through his thick-as-pig-shit ego. We’ll all be the better for it.
One cannot help noticing how far behind the eightball this blog has lapsed recently.
The posts trail the Telegraph’s findings or “Newsnight”. The “Seen Elsewhere” section has not been updated for days. The Quote of the Day rarely alters either.

Is Guido too drunk to do a proper job of work? Is he in trouble with the Irish police again?
A very disappointing performance.
Guido has been travelling and plotting. Please accept a full refund and fuck off.
Hate to be the Brown-noser here but there is only so much one man can do. The expenses leak needed an army of lawyers. Guido will show his stuff once these awkward headlines have filtered away from the mainstream front pages.
Keep fighting Guido!
Guido – don’t know if you caught Barry Sheerman on R4 this morning. He had been over to a TV studio in Leeds last night to put his view that there should be a secret ballot amongst the PLP to determine if they wanted Brown to continue.
He gets a text off his local constituency party chairman saying “well said” returns home (or second home who knows) and is woken by a call from another member of his local party to alert him to the fact that Yvette Cooper (!!) had been on the phone from the buner at number 10, to members of the party to haul Sheerman in over his comments with a view to starting a deselection process…
Incredible.
Smears for Sheerman to follow I guess………..
Yes, I heard that too. Not picked up by the R4 team. It’s hard to tell which Ball hangs lower.
Yes I heard that. It was mentioned on Sky but the good things is Sheerman isn’t going to take that lying down.
Just shows you what a bunch of nasty bullies the Brownites are. We really do have the absolute scum of this country in government.

Odious cow.
What’s happening with that backbench email that was circulating yesterday?
And there’s still that SNP motion to dissolve parliament coming up next Wednesday.
So there’s still hope, isn’t there?? that we can get rid of this loathsome oaf.
All the country have signed it apart from the hoons at Westminster!!
That will be interesting – backbenchers may not vote for the motion, but they might just abstain.
Even a close run result is another kick down.
Problem is he like bloody Dracula, you cannot kill the f**ker and he keeps making more bloody vampires.
Brown is boxed in and he cannot face up to Darling’s threat to resign if moved from Chancellor so Darling gets left where he is and Darling stands to gain from this as he shows he is stronger than Brown.
However cunningly, Brown persuades Alan Johnstone to take the poisoned chalice of Home Secretary so that his ambitions to become PM are ruined.
Overall this is a demonstration of just how weakened Brown’s position is.
Tories will be glad though that Brown is staying as Brown is their golden ticket to power at UK General Election, and SNP will be delighted too as they see him as Labour’s greatest weakness here in Scotland.
Yes, yes we must look to the long term. Initially this a Labour fuck up so redolent of all the other fuck-ups they’ve instigated so many times before.
A nasty civil war, briefings, smears, the appointment of the incompetent, the celebration of the inept, whilst the country slowly bleeds to death.
But…
The longer this goes on and the longer the madman stays in power the mightier the massacre when an election is finally called.
This was Labour’s last chance to avoid total wipeout – Purnell sprang to the top of the trench and the cowards waved him off.
Election 2010 is going to make 1997 look like a neck and neck, 4 re-count nailbiter.
They’re going to be ripped to teeny weeny little shreds. There’ll be no coming back from this one.
I’m off the Sporting Index to get on Labour < 100.
I would vote for any fucking party including BXP if they promised

You will have to vote UKIP then as they are the only mainstream party to take us out of the EU and HIPs is an EU diktat, just like ID cards, so Dave can whinge all he likes both will be back as our masters in Brussels do not allow national parliaments to make rules.
Bloody Hell. These politicians just have lying and denying reality so deeply ingrained in their very being. Have you just seen Shaun Woodward on BBC News? He says that the reshuffle has nothing whatever to do with Gordon Brown’s political survival and that the people of the country really want Gordon Brown to keep running the country.
Just how much more deluded could he be?
Those statements are not lies.
The reshuffle has nothing to do with political survival. His survival is not under question. That would be a Labour party issue which can not happen. Or an election issue that can not happen for a year. In his position his future is ruined, so it can only get better the longer he waits. So he might as well stay. All that is happening is people are walking away from him. Makes no difference.
That the “people of the country really want Gordon Brown to keep running the country” is true too. It is not like we want him sell the UK to the Russians. It does not say we want Gordon Brown. It says that the people want him to really run the country. Something that he has singularly failed to do.
True “keep” has a air of an existing situation. However it does not say how long. 1 minute!
Just how much full of shite can tyou be. Labour are fucking dead and buried. Problem is, we are still going to be ruled by socialist superstate – the EU. Killing that one will be much much harder as politicians of all stripes get on the gravy train big time.
Sadly very true.

Just another attempt by the man who makes a dead body more exciting,to try to connect to well known figures (I have to say Sugar is a bit of a spiv nowadays and The Apprentice is a sign of everything that is so bad about Labour,when a woman who does not know what the turnover in her own restaurant actually is,gets to the final).
But then again, we have a Justice Secretary who ADMITS he cannot add up and runs (ruins?) a dept that allows a thug to roam the streets and murder two men – it is simply a never ending catalogue of ineptitude,fraud,shameless morons taking the piss out us,the hard workers paying their salaries and fraudulent expenses claims.
Absolutely. This is the government that should have resigned in shame several times over as scandal followed disaster but they just keep going, aided and abetted by the media, especially the BBC, now reporting “a sharp drop” in Labour seats in the local elections ffs.

*Cough* Lord Archer *Cough*
That was then, and look what happened: 12 years in the wilderness. This is worse, so let’s say 15-20 years.
Archer was a scoundrel, but also in his time a popular and energetic Louth MP who was indefatigable promoting his Party on the rubber chicken circuit. A very funny after-dinner speaker too. Sugar is a semi-literate bully and chancer who has tossed some money at Labour, produced some mediocre products, made (and lost) most of his money in property. No way should the little tosser’s ego be inflated further with ermine.
You know Archer went to jail and paid the price. He did the crime and did the time something not one single Labour MP has done despite doing things as bad or if not much worse. Spouting your bullingson crap you would well remeber that and just get over it.
Labour is utterly dead finished and these new ministers will be lucky to get there arses on the office chairs.
HAIN IS BACK????? FFS that through the bottom of the barrel

You forgot Tottenham Hotspur Eric.
Good job that Spurs got you in from Portsmouth ‘Arry.

From the SCotsman
‘FIRST results from the English council elections overnight showed Labour losing seats – though the party was given a glimmer of hope with victories in two council by-elections in Scotland.’
Do we English have to continue this sort of Labour mindlessness from Scotland.
We need liberation.
Wait till you see the drop in their share of the vote in Scotland, particularly in the Euros. I think you’ll find even their last strongholds are beginning to crumble.
Shades of Glenrothes… time to start looking into ballot-box tampering, postal votes etc. This is the heartland of ZanuLab crookery we’re talking about here.
Glimmer of hope in Scotland? Check those postal votes!
The “Humpty Dumpty” plan is in full motion in the Bunker. Putting Labour back together again, they have been wiped out in the local government elections so far. Just wait until the star spangled banner of Europe get started on them. The parade of Brownies on Sky this morning has been like comedy hour. “The people will love us again” is their mantra, they need more time to get to know Gordon better, we are listening they are saying, forgive us now. Labour backbenchers are probably down the pub already.

This is all getting so confusing.
It is sinister the way Downing Street rounded on rebel Barry Sheerman. He says they had Yvette Cooper phoning his constituency party in the early hours suggesting they harrange for him to be de-selected.

It’s the war of the Roses. The Red Roses are fighting the, er Red Roses.
There every herd, by sad experience, knows
How, winged with fate, their elf-shot arrows fly,
When the sick ewe her summer food forgoes,
Or, stretched on earth, the heart-smit heifers lie.
I was impressed by Sheerman. I would even consider voting for him if I lived in his constituency which , as I have never, ever voted Labour (even in ’97) is saying quite a lot.
It’s nice to see Labour apparently getting creamed in the local elections. But why on earth are people just voting Tory instead? Have they already forgotten the tales of moats and duck islands?
I think the days of moats and duck islands are over and hopefully the non-existent mortgages, flipping and other excessive allowance claims from all parties are over as well.
I voted Tory because this is the most effective way of getting rid of this dead “duck” government.
Hogg and Viggers didn’t actually steal any money for moats or islands. They tried it on, and were turned down by the Fees Office. End of story. Unlike the ministers, and others, who did actually steal.
So they tried to steal, but didn’t get away with it? So not only are they dishonest, they’re not even very good at it.
I’m not for a minute saying Labour were any better. They’re a bunch of crooks too. But there are more than 2 parties to vote for. I find it really depressing how few people seem to have woken up to the fact that both big parties are as bad as each other, and we don’t have to put up with them.
Hogg admitted late on that he did get paid for the moat.
Viggers did get a hell of a lot of money to maintain his “second home”.
“What the public want”, “what the voters want, what the electorate want”, “what I have heard on the doorstep”, “the public want us to”.
WHAT THE PUBLIC WANT IS A GENERAL ELECTION.
“clear up the the mess for the next Parliament” “Public is angry, so any vote now would not be representative” etc etc

Gordon Brown Does D-DAY
Yes, Gordon Brown will once more be grinning like a porn star’s pussy as he pays tribute to our fallen of WW2.
Meanwhile, in the background, several other world leaders including Obama will be standing upwind, hoping not to be infected by the curse of Jonah.
I just hope he steps on the only remaining unexploded bomb left over from WW2 battles – judging by the way he is so totally unlucky,it could happen LIVE on TV.
As Obama was good enough to sort the Palace mess out, perhaps he would be kind enough to step in and sort our politics out?
Langley, if you are watching, perhaps you can brief your man on being seen to be too close to our Dear Leader over the next few days?
True. It would be a shame to see Obama’s halo smeared with Brown shit.
Nah, everyone will step to ones aide to avoid him – and they will end up standing on the bloody thing.
he’s like a fucking vampire – nothing kills the bloodsucking fucker, unfortunately not even the bloody sunlight.
I hope the veterans turn their backs on him for his disgraceful treatment of the Queen and use of this event for personal grandstanding. Trouble is the Huhne is impervious to what decent people think.
Get a fucking big saw from B&Q and cut the bloody Scots away from our lovely England.

“Well”, said the big Croc, “What have you been eating”?
“Politicians just like you”, said the small Crock, “Hmmm. Well where do you catch them?
“Down the other side of the swamp near the parking lot by Parliament House”.
“Same here. Hmmm, how do you catch them”? “Well, I crawl up under one of their cars and wait for one to unlock the car door, then I jump out, grab em by the leg, shake the shit out of them and eat ‘em!”
“Ah!” says the big Crocodile, “I think I see your problem. You’re not getting any real nourishment. See, by the time you finish shaking the shit out of a politician, there’s nothing left but an arsehole and a briefcase.”
Good one!!
John Hutton gone but according to Pravda he remains loyal to Brown.
Thats the same John Hutton that said Gordon Brown would be a fucking disaster is it.
The BBC are showing their true colours as a mouthpiece of Brown and Nu Labour.
He’s not condemning Brown, no. Not yet. But before Brown was elected he said to a journalist brown would be a fucking disaster. He was right.
I don’t remember Brown ever being elected.
Brown really is like the Black Night from Monty Python. Such is the size of his ego and his desperation to salvage something of a legacy. We have reached the point now that the more he clings to power the more people will want a GE.

Now what might that be Newspeak for?
Perhaps to beat the stampede for proper jobs by hundreds of ex Labour MPs soon to join the dole queue.

Sugar as “enterprise tsar”. What a joke. It seems that it is confirmed that the only enterprise in this country is property development.
Just wait Labour is creating the affordable house gravy train. Why not make builders give you houses at cheap rates with a law that makes it compulsory to sell these houses to 5 year tenants. That is 5 years as anyones tenant, army etc.
It is compulsory to build the houses and sell them to an agency. So the agencies are specifying higher standards and openness than the full market rate houses. As long as they stay united they can get whatever they want. It is a closed shop run by the “friends” of the elected.
Not even the officials doing the deals know where the sale money will go. It will be siphoned off. Just ask them, they do not know.
what are you on about?
are you referring to some sort of scheme?
Dunno what anon#363 is on about, but there is something very shadey about the build programmes where I live.
This already happens in the so-called housing associations. Look at the scramble to spend the budget before April.
That’s hutton just resigned to spend more time with his family – but he backs Brown’s leadership

What for????
Lord AmCrap ?

He’s going to be an Enterprise Tsar!!!!!!!!
Are we living in Alice in Wonderland??????
i hate that socialist shit. can’t bear him. arrogant tosspot. how dare they foist another of their unelected labour luvvies on us? does Brown think this is suddenly going to give him a mandate? these people make me feel physically ill. i was having a philosophical fag last night in the garden, wondering what Brown was doing at that moment, and having some human feeling for him cuz I’m soft. Then bang, wake up, he’s still clinging on, they are all still scurrying around like cockroaches, and my rage is unabated. how the fuck dare they? when humiliation comes i hope its crucifying. bastards.
“Government” + banks + corporations = Pin Stripe Fascism.
Not all fascists look like Mussolini…perhaps even Alan Sugar doesn’t ‘know’ he’s being used – however his ego will be greatly rewarded for services rendered. The sick thing is using popular culture such as ‘The Apprentice’ to further the fascist agenda….stinks to high Heaven but why am I surprised?
Just another ‘act’ in the live production towards global fascist dictatorship.
He has to be made a Lord to join the govt if not elected.
Ask the impressive “Lord” (I didn’t know, it wasn’t me) Paul Myners
We all know what happened to the last business type pushed up to the HoL – he couldn’t stand working for this govt, and I doubt that AS will either.
Sorry, brain fade – Digby Jones of course.
Digby Jones has some integrity. Sugar will say whatever shit he needs to say to close the deal, so he will be a good fit for his troughing chums in the Lords. The Apprentice is a caricature of real business life, and NuLab is a caricature of a government, so they will get on fine.
Alan Sugar couldn’t stand the crap you have to go through running a plc, so he took Amstrad private again. I don’t think he’ll like being a junior minister. He likes being in charge, no-one to answer to, living and dying by his own decisions.

On Thursday 8th April 1974, in his Private Eye Column, the late, great Auberon Waugh wrote the following about Edward Heath:
“Readers of the corrupt national press may have been puzzled to learn of the leadership debate inside the Conservative Party. What is there to debate about? Grocer has been a disaster. Not only is he an unattractive, almost universally disliked man, but he has learned nothing from his mistakes and seems determined to make them all again”…….
….. “Colleagues should urge the Grocer to die…”
He was right about the Grocer at the time, and his words are right about the Gurner today, with a few necessary changes of word.
The Grocer, communist agent, poofter, and traitor,

Finding it hard to see any written stats, but listening to Dale there seem to be some huge results for the Toytown Nazis.
They seem to be coming ahead of Labour in some wards – some shares as as high as 30% !!!
Well down Gordon Brown, seems like you have created an economy and society where people have given up on your pathetic party and and are going to the racist socialists. Bloody hell…
That is the tragedy behind this mess. Brown won’t listen, so the public make the biggest protest they possibly can by doing exactly what the Government has asked them not to do.
If the B N P make massive gains across Britain only one person will be to blame: Our Dear Leader Kim Il Brown. He should re-read Purnells letter, it contains the only words of truth he will hear for the next few weeks.
Yes, but the muslims still love me and vote for me and ther is soon going to be more of them than Nicky Griffin can muster.
So what job has has Gordon given to Susan Boyle ?
She’s become his personal mental health guru.

PS he can retire today, Prince Charles can handle tomorrow in France
just go please

Some good news from Sky:
Labour will lose 139 seats and be swept from power if early indications from the local elections are repeated in a General Election, Sky News can exclusively reveal.

It says ZNL would still have 210 seats, leaving the Tories with a majority of 32. What the fuck? 210 seats??? I don’t beleeeeve it.
Don’t know if their model is right, but if it is, ZNL get a higher percentage of seats than of the popular vote almost regardless of the voting figures. Even if they collapse to 13% and the LibDems get 25%, they will end up with more seats.
Even I have to admit my beloved Labour party has become a horrible joke.
I blame it on those horrible Tories, spoiling Gordons party, nasty old Tories………….boohooooooooooooooo!!!!
Bit early for MB and all the spellings correct. Nice try though
Don’t be too hard on yourself….every polical party has become a joke

The recent triumphs for Nu Labour in local and European elections, sure to be fully revealed by the end of counting on Sunday, have embellished the already splendid, unparalleled reputation of Gordon Brown as the first sage, bursar and champion of our age. Likely to resemble a veritable portrait of Scotch beauty and courage when he emerges from his resplendent lodgings of state at Number 10, to celebrate victory and the certainty of his eternal reign, I am reminded of the Tao proverb that great lions do not prowl the fields for a meal, but for a feast. My old meditation master, Chu Bangguo, spoke of the majesty of aspect, and the grace of manner to be shown by
These elections, aside from their resounding reaffirmation of Gordon’s rule, prefigure the imminent collapse of the warlike and corrupt Tory establishment. The incessant, illusory carpings snarled out by the BBC, a creature of Thatcher’s cunning, and the ultraconservative Guardian were all for nought. Gordon still stands, none desire his removal from power but those few among us who covet his glory or begrudge the lavish fortune he has showered down on his people. Having admonished you proles of the error of your ways, the decadence of savings, the wickedness of budget surpluses, the futility of free speech and evils of public protest, it was no wonder that lesser men in Nu Labour, seduced by libertarian lies and Tory gold, should betray the hero. But this was all foreknown to Him who is faultless, and predetermined so that the Oriental prophecies might be fulfilled, “And though his conduct of the national accounts were balanced, and his second home cleaners legitimately claimed for within the rules, they did hate Him without a cause”, as says the sacred Zhengyi Tao. But matters proceed, with calm precision, according to Brown’s plans. The perfidy of the aristocratic Purnell, and seditious murmurs of the fat thought-criminal Clarke, was known long before these wretches hatched the designs themselves.
Think you such plottings could escape the all-seeing omniscience of Brown? Him who saved the world, abolished poverty and exiled pain?
Apart from the prognostication of the Tao, I foresaw all that now transpires in the mid-70s, when, after a few years as Michael Foot’s live-in lover, I sought enlightenment at the centuries-old monastery for heuristic techno-computrics at Mount Miyazaki in Japan. There, under the tutelage of the aforementioned Chu Bangguo, I learnt to separate mortal anxiety and recursion hyper-threading, from infinity and digitized virtual private networks, renounce the mean cares of this world for integrated graphics processors, the forerunner to my invention Fidelity Graphics, for which I was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1996 but lost as the eventual winner, East Timorese patriot Bishop Ramos Horta slept with the female judges. Now, Gordon too has it within his grasp to educate you proles to the futility of resistance, and blessings of Caledonian autocracy.
As when Gordon was a wee, comely shepherdess tending the flocks in the Scottish meadows, so now must Nu Labour, in consonance with the Tao’s precepts and audio interchange file formats, to build a fairer, happier, more Socialist Britain.
O Gordon! Great patron of Liberty! If not in name, then in manner and worth, a King whose virtue and renown astound the wide expanse of the world.
You on drugs, Charlie ?
Praise be the great leader (piss upon him)
Superb – please, please post this on LabourList where the real Hardwidge still lurks.
Is ‘recursion hyper-threading’ the cabinet euphemism for forming a fairy circle?
Any other Charles Hardwidge is but a shallow fraud when compared with these words of true prophetic majesty.
Now we’ll have to read all his shite so that we can truly distinguish the words of the great master (Bater).
Charles E Hardwidge is dead. Long live Charles E Hardwidge.
All a bit of an anti-climax really.
I feel like I have bolted my load too early and need to wait for another six months for some gratification.

He’s refused to budge. He defied McMental and thwarted Balls.
McMental will hold that grudge and will mobilise McBride et all to smear him and he’ll resign under pressure and deliver the position to Balls in a month or two.
If Brown survives.
Yes – I think Darling is fatally stabbed – he is a Geoffrey Howe grenade with the pin to be taken out at any time.
At least it means that Adolf Ball’s will never be Chancellor if an election happens circa October.
Unfortunately the voting figures coming through today mean that we will definitely not be getting a General Election. Brown knows that something might turn up, anything might turn up, that could help them raise their vote share a bit over the next ew months.
Fuck the country. Fuck the voters. Fuck the economy. As long as a couple more Labour MP’s get to carry on troughing it’s worth trashing the entire country for.
The IMF will turn up; that’s what.
Out of the frying pan into the fire.
Swine flu will turn up in the Autumn
Brown will declare he is taking action to eradicate the disease – sending Adolf and Eva Ball’s in to shoot anyone infected.
Ball’s – as a reward for NOT getting the Chancellorship – will be getting £4,000,000,000 per month food allowance – move over Eric Pickles (if you can actually move unaided) – Fatso Ball’s is here!

Just heard on local radio, from a Liebore apparatchik :
“It is important, at this time, for the whole country, all the people, to support Gordon at this time. He is the only man in the whole country capable of leading us all forward into the future.” Glorious Leader, indeed.
Where are these nitwits coming from? I truly despair!
They’ve been flown in from North Korea.
I hate to say it, but I think Brown’s safe until the general election.
There are only 3 types of labour MPs:
1) Those in 100% safe seats where the constituents all have the attitude of “I’d vote labour even if they cut off my legs”. For these MPs why bother to rock the boat because they’d keep their seat regardless.
2) Those outside “core labour” areas. They know they’ll lose their seat at a general election no matter what they do to their leader. For these MPs why bother to change leader when it’d just mean they’d lose 12 months of gravy train money.
3) Those like Purnell who have some kind of conscience. These MPs are so rare in the labour party that they can basically be ignored.
Unless Darling or Miliband resign, Brown’s safe, and we all end up with a paralysed government for the next year who nobody wants headed by an unelected leader/PM, who are intent on continuing a scorched earth policy out of sheer spite to the tories.
I fucking hate labour. They really don’t give a flying fuck about the country, they only care about their own seats and trying to convince the uneducated masses that their sick/twisted ideology gives them a god-given right to remain in power no matter how much damage they do.
Purnell didnt have much of a “conscience” when he was fiddling his expenses did he?
Nope, nor when he left the rented ( Taxpayer funded ) flat looking like the pig sty he troughs in
Hear hear.
It’s worse than that, it seems on early results in the locals that many of the ‘uneducated masses’ are deserting Labour for the Toytown Nazis. This could get worse if Brown and this government persist for another year.
This will be Brown’s legacy.
I pray that when all the results for locals and euro are out that I am proved wrong.
Yes.

Unfortunately, this sounds about right.
Brown will not heed anything. He is unelected. He has fucked up the country and his party. He is massively unpopular. The country is broke. ‘Labour’ has actually succeeded in increasing the jobless total. His child poverty hobby-horse has coincided with the UN and the EU both telling us we live in the worst G20 country for raising kids.
But he actually believes he is doing a good job.
The Labour party continues to be so soviet in its organisation that it is practically impossible for a serving PM to be ousted by its paying and despairing members.
If Brezhnev succeeds in shutting up the cabinet, it would then require 70 MP’s to break cover, find, agree on, and get behind a single candidate, even to force a leadership election.
The hypocrisy of a man who has never had a single vote cast for his ‘leadership’, talking about constitutional reform is repulsive.
Put the Krug on ice. The sun has gone in, and I fear another year of fucked-up government.
I also fear another year of this. Unless something completly out of leftfield happens, Brown will cling onto office (not power, clearly!) until either the men in white coats or the men from Pickfords come to take him away.
The only thing Brown cares about is being PM. Nothing else really penetrates his thick skin.

Fraser Nelson was brilliant puncturing the pomposity of febrile/senile Michael White on Sky.
I am not short on words, so please bear with the length of this letter. To begin with, what I wrote just a moment ago is not the paranoid rambling of a naive wacko. It’s a fact. While ZaNuLab’s semi-literate ramblings might be of some interest to specialists in child communication, we were put on this planet to be active, to struggle, and to extend the compass of democracy to pestilential lowlifes. We were not put here to create new (and reinforce existing) prejudices and misconceptions, as ZaNuLab might maintain. Plainly stated, we must understand that at the end of this journey, I want to be able to say that I tried my best to carve solutions that are neither benighted nor wicked. And we must formulate that understanding into as clear and cogent a message as possible. In all fairness, some reputed—as opposed to reputable—members of ZaNuLab’s terrorist organization quite adamantly insist that ZaNuLab can scare us by using big words like “eulamellibranchiate”. I find it rather astonishing that anyone could believe such a thing but then again, when a mistake is made, the smart thing to do is to admit it and reverse course. That takes real courage. The way that ZaNuLab stubbornly refuses to own up to its mistakes serves only to convince me that it says that it was chosen by God as the trustee of His wishes and desires. That’s its unvarying story, and it’s a lie: an extremely nit-picky and obstreperous lie. Unfortunately, it’s a lie that is accepted unquestioningly, uncritically, by ZaNuLab’s devotees.
Fortunately, if you ever get into an argument with some of ZaNuLab’s lieutenants about whether or not its dangerous, unpleasant tractates have been found incompatible with personal security and the rights of property, I have an excellent sockdolager for you. Simply inform the other party that invidious and disorganized, ZaNuLab’s assertions resemble a dilapidated shed. Kick in the door and the whole rotten structure will collapse, proving my claim that ZaNuLab’s associates have learned their scripts well and the rhetoric comes gushing forth with little provocation. I’ve already said this a thousand times and with a thousand different phrasings, but ZaNuLab contends that it understands the difference between civilization and savagery and that, therefore, diseases can be defeated not through standard medical research but through the creation of a new language, one that does not stigmatize certain groups and behaviors. This bizarre pattern of thinking leads to strange conclusions. For example, it convinces bleeding-heart franions (as distinct from the polyloquent, raucous hellions who prefer to chirrup while hopping from cloud to cloud in Nephelococcygia) that we should avoid personal responsibility. In reality, contrariwise, we must rouse people’s indignation at ZaNuLab. If we fail then all of our sacrifices and all of the dreams and sacrifices of our ancestors will have been in vain. The key is to realize that I decidedly cannot believe that ZaNuLab would consider impetuous humanity-haters as inane egotists. Or, to express that sentiment without all of the emotionally charged lingo, I suspect that my criticisms regarding scabrous spongers, while far from complete, will take a strong position on ZaNuLab’s intimations, which, after all, cause one-sided ultimata to be entered into historical fact. (The merits of ZaNuLab’s apothegms won’t be discussed here because they lack merit.)
We have a dilemma of leviathan proportions on our hands: Should we move as expeditiously as possible to tackle the multinational death machine that ZaNuLab is currently constructing, or is it sufficient to lift the fog from ZaNuLab’s thinking? The complete answer to that question is a long, sad story. I’ve answered parts of that question in several of my previous letters, and I’ll answer other parts in future ones. For now, I’ll just say that if ZaNuLab wanted to, it could let self-satisfied weasels serve as our overlords. It could set the hoops through which we all must jump. And it could censor by caricature and preempt discussion by stereotype. We must really not allow ZaNuLab to do any of these. In short, ZaNuLab’s blatant indifference towards the feelings of others is due to intense misunderstanding, suspicion, and fear. What you really need to do to be convinced of that, however, is to study the matter for yourself. I’ll be happy to send you enough facts to get you started. Just write to me.
Very good! Dare I ask if you have copied accute these observations to your normal outlet too? I would be very entertained and grateful. Thank you.

Max Mosley’s already got the job. Previous experience by all accounts.
And Allan Sugar to be ennobled. Can you believe it, this fucking barrow boy who insists on people calling him “Sir Allan” will now be able to insist on being called Lord fucking Sugar. Fucking unbelievable
Sugar is a piece of spivvy shit – totally unsuccessful and a terrible example to our children.Typical of the criminal Brown to go for such a lightweight wanker.
You may not like him, but you cannot believably say he is not successful.
The Penguin
He has made money only for himself. By floating high and taking his company private after the shares had collapsed (because the results were shit) he has made far more money for himself than for the poor suckers who invested in him, let alone the people who worked for him.
In my business, we made top returns for shareholders, paid our staff way above the market rate, and still had enough left over to make some money for ourselves. That’s because we were selling a product people wanted at a premium price, unlike Sugar who sold shit so cheap that everybody else in the process – customers, shareholders and staff – all had to be legged over for him to get rich. Like I said before Mr P, a perfect match for Brown. After all, he has also been successful in that he has fought his way to the top job in Britain, but like Sugar he has done it by crapping on everyone rather than being any good.
Fuck off plebs. You wankers know that we’re the paramilitary force of the British Oligarchy. Pay your taxes, submit your DNA and go to jail.
Scoland Yard have decided to take no action on MP expense fraud.

Bubbles the Chimp to replace Paul Stephenson as Head of the Metropolitan Police.
Also
what is going on at the Beeb? – never have I heard so many people phoning in to plead support for Brown. I am sickened by it. What it does for me is merely confirm we live in an UNELECTED DICTATORSHIP. Maybe it’s time to leave….
5 Live…
Words fail me.
Isn’t it strange how that can happen when they can’t be bothered to vote?
Depends who gets to choose which callers are allowed on air.
Typical Beeb sort of trick. You can guarantee that the vast majority of people ‘phoning in are anti Brown but the calls that make to air are considered to be “more representative” of all points of view by our pro Labour national broadcaster.
Alot of positive texts for Brown got through on Question Time last night, conversley mine did not.
Trevor – you forgot Sugar’s helicopter. Wonder how long it will take for Blair to get one?
Huh !!! I always sponge off other people
Helicopters do have the habit of falling out of the sky,don’t they?
They don’t glide very efficiently, shall we say?
The Penguin
Perhaps Sugar can be persuaded to take Brown up in his helicopter… then fingers crossed.
The CPS/MET are as corrupt as the MP’s.
My advisors have taught Paul Stephenson well.
there was a reason the telegraph went easy on balls and his missus. my “guess” is that if his missus gets thru without the expenses debacle pulling her down he will risk her husband. but too risky to put him straight in, as the telgraph has the evidence to nail him and another expenses disaster about those two would pull brown down, if he promotes someone PROVEN to be on the take.
am i wrong?
Hope not!
No, but almost incomprehensible.
Yes, you are wrong. He would have moved Balls to HMT if Darling agreed to go to Home Office or resigned.
He is indifferent to the Balls/Cooper expenses scam becuase they are close friends and supporters of his. He has no moral authority to do anything to them because of his own manipulation of property ownership and second home expenses for his own ends. End of.
Yes you are wrong. Andrew Porter is a close personal friend of the Ballses, and their expenses while moderately grubby are not in the same league as Darling’s or Hoon’s. So he can justify going easy on them.

Former London minister Nick Raynsford said: ‘I personally have considerable respect for Gordon Brown. But his leadership is now so seriously damaged that I can’t see the likelihood of him leading Labour successfully into the next general election. It’s now appropriate for the party to look for a new leader.’
Here, here, all very cilvilised good chap, but it’s a good old fashioned march to Downing Street that is really needed.
“Gordon, Come out with your jaw up. Oy, you, We’re waiting outside to give you a petition on top of the one we had in the euro and local elections”
“a 1 a 2 a 3 ” Gordon is a moran, Gordon is a moron…..”
Yeah, right.
It’s the cabinet of “un-electeds” it seems. Mandelson, who voted for him? Sugar, who voted for him? Watch this space how many more TV celebs will be given peerages and parachuted into government. Brown needs treatment, the British public need to show Brown in a general election what they think of his “British government’s got no talent” contest. What next “Big Browner”.

++ Plod says no prosecitions likely over expenses ++
… apparently there’s not suifficient evidence that any of them misled the fees office. (except that questions remain in around 12 cases…
Disappointing; I think they’ve asked the wrong question. given that it was not simply the fees office that was defrauded but the public purse, i.e. us.
I wonder whether it would have produced a different outcome if they had looked at the fees office as well and asked whether there was sufficient evidence of conspiracy between the fees office and MPs to defraud the taxpayer; instances where the fees office knowlngly paid out on claims they knew to be false, specious or at best overstated or misrepresented might lead to a liability either under conspiracy or malfeasance in public office legislation.
Still, twelve potential prosecutions is better than a whitewash …
That the Fees Office allowed Andy Burnham to classify his windfall from Dolphin Square as an expense (as opposed to a capital sum derived from an asset) is clear evidence of their complicity in defrauding the public purse.
With all due respect, TWELVE POTENTIAL IS A TOTAL FUCKING WHITEWASH.
Fucking banana republic.

More Toenails propaganda on Aljabeeba:
Brown will fight and win any leadership contest
It does beg the question:-
What’s in it for Toenails?
its very simple he blows with the wind…. to get those nice cushy interviews with the PM, exclusives, the kudos of flying with the PM on foreign trips.
He’s essentially a go along to get along groupie, without the wierd sex, and he would be up the arse of whoever was in power. He’s also lazy, a proper journo, with some self respect, would work a little for his stories rather than being spoonfed by Browns creeps. The bloke on ITV, Bradbury, puts the boot in good and proper.
He hasn’t done it before!

Aaaah Ann Botting. Saw her last night. Missed her giggling with Bob Friend.
Nice girl, put some tough questions, but to be honest every journalist out there is having rings run round them by Labour spinmeisters.
Notice how Brown nicked Camerons idea of more public members being drafted in to parliament and the feedback to zelebrities like Ester Rantzen standing. Old Gordon thinks he’s pulling a shrewd move but just doesn’t get it once again.
He’s got to look at the “Z” list of celebrities now. He’s running out of parliamentary candidates fast.
was I a late choice ?
No. You were the only person who might still be speaking to me.
You have to marvel at the flexibility of our unwritten constitution. We now have a situation where the executive operates with the sole function of propping up the leadership of the major party. Some might think that was sort of the wrong way round. In the solipsistic world view of our (soon to be ex) Prime Minister it’s the natural order of things.
Re Shuffle what a joke, this reminds me of a drunk gambler in the saloon, who has dropped his hand on the floor only to catch his head on the table trying to pick his cards up knocking the pot and other hands into one great pile of disarray, then drunkenly trying to sort it out.

One law for corrupt MPs and one for the rest of us.
This is the final death nail for politics in this country.
These people are beyond reproach and beyond the law. They made the rules by which they abide so it’s no small wonder no action is being taken.
…and where is Yates of the Yard? He would have been dogged about this one.
What’s the point when the CPS say insufficient evidence, not in the public interest etc etc?
It’s the final death knell of any public co-operation with the Police too.
I didn’t see nothing officer.
Why are election results so slow! Where is the TV coverage of the counting. I want to see it. Just for a warm feeling that corruption would require too many people on the inside. I used to love watching the counting during the night. Sad, I know.
It is another difference to when I left the UK after Blair was first voted in. It is hard to understand this country after being away for all those years. It really did fall off a cliff or was it because I now understand other systems and their advantages. I think it time to leave again.
I may not be missing watching any counting, but it sums up the state of the country that we are still waiting for results. Is everyone watching the TV who should be counting!
What have elections got to do with it?
The results are slow cos Jack fucker Straw got the counting contract for his entire family – and they have the genetic inability to count.
LOL LABOUR CAME FOURTH BEHIND B&P IN A MAJORITY OF THE LOCAL ELECTIONS LOL LOL LOL
Oh dear……..Gordon must be going through boxes of Nokias today.

I agree Sir Robin , honey .
Bein listed as Udders don’t forward the state of democracy in this country .
E x .
Planet Gordon is so far removed from any reality it would be funny if it were not for the fact that this bunch of cowardly, tribal lunatics are supposed to be running the country.
The utter spineless quality of Labour Mps beggars belief, they cannot even get it together (for the good of the country) to rid us of this damaged and discredited fool at the helm. These frightened nobodies know Gordon will lose it for them but know they will receive their undeserved salaries for just that little bit longer if he stays. A nasty pox on them. If they had any guts, more of them would stand up to Brown’s bullying blackshirts.
Brown is in Captain Ahab territory as he clings on with his stumpy fingers to the wildly out of control ships wheel, that is supposed to steer the ship of government. History has already passed judgement on you Mr Brown.
Lunacy doesn’t come near describing where we are now.
We should be planning to sack every single one of them for gross misconduct whilst in office – not only for their expenses but for the heinous crime of misrepresenting their electorates, and undermining democracy – the rule of the people.
The fact that they think they will save their beloved party by turning their backs on the people of the UK is stupid in the extreme. We don’t care who they think is best to lead the country – it is who we think is best to lead the country that matters.
Come on, we all want Gordon to stay – Dave certainly does, whatever he says in public.
There is going to be nothing better that watching this complete waste of space presiding over an imploding cabinet.
It is a shame for us in the country to have an unelected leader but I am taking great delight in the pain he is going through, long may it continue.
He will hold out until May next year when nulabour will suffer a humiliating defeat.
He thinks the job is his by divine right. The labour party constitution has so many hoops that they have to go through for a change of leader, including gaining union support, that it will not happen. The only reason he got the job in 2007 without a challenge is because his pack of dogs warned everyone of.
There is money to be made betting that he stays until the GE.
Oh yes, – I lick any fucker’s arse – if the Price is Right – is that the show I’m on?
….er….where are we?
Up shit creek
What I find really nauseating is creeps like Sugar and Flint using this crisis to try and advance their own careers.

Mandy pontificating on Sky.
He’s stressing the point that ” Gordon is remaining calm” !!!!!!!!
I wonder why he felt he needed to emphasise that point???

Up shit creek without a Purnell.
Geert Wilders Party made huge gains, BNP vote base estimated to have doubled or tripled, mumblings of other right parties in the EU doing well, lol good bye socialists and commies.
Are Mandy and Ballsy scrambling Gordo’s head?
If Brown turns in on himself, do you think that he would spot ‘Toenails’ & ‘Further’!!!
I find it very very sad for our country. Held to ransom by an autocratic unelected despot and other arseholes, designed to save their own skins. Fuck the public again, politicians are much more important than the little people. And to think that that c u n t brown will be attending the d-day celebrations this weekend. What did those people fight and die for, those who gave their lives for us to live free in a democratic society? So the labour party can destroy this country as they have done for the last 12 years. I can really understand now how countries have civil wars. Such an utter utter despairing situation. Ordinary people are finding it really hard to manage now in this recession. All we get are these c u n t s looking after themselves.

How dare Mandelcrook and various other Labour MPs keep saying “What the public wants is..” and then proceed to catalogue Gordon’s wish list. Its clear that none of them know anything whatsoever about what the public wants. What the public wants is the opposite of what Gordon and his cabinet wants. How dare they presume to speak for the public. Mandelsleaze even says there’s no evidence to show that the public want a general election. Liar, liar, liar.
give me strength! Burley is too bias even for thye bbc

Everybody stop what your doing and leave your offices, shops, businesses. Everybody go home immediately, or better still go to Parliament Square and sit down in peaceful protest. We need a complete shutdown of this country and we need it NOW!

It’s getting near pitchfork time, gentle folks.
How do pitchforks match up to those big black motherfucking machine guns the cops carry at Downing Street, just out of interest?
They are a symbol. So are machine guns.
You really think those or any other cops would think twice about killing British demonstrators?
When you see the way they carry on at most demonstrations it’s obvious they would RELISH the idea of littering the streets with dead bodies.
Baroness Prosser (Labour) says Brown’s position untenable.
Also made a very good point re Brown appointing Sugar – she referred to Sugar as a terrible example for businesses.
This is not over yet – yes Brown looks safer,but I feel his ability to clutch defeat from the jaws of victory,could change things as the totally TERRIBLE election results drip in.
The local councillor’s are going to stick the knife as will their local MP’s.
Gordon’s remaining calm?
Well what has he to worry about? Six major ministers are resigning and two others have successfully defied his attempts to oust them from their Departments to make way for his supporters. The PLP want him out and the whips are having to fight a damaging rearguard action to try and stave off a full rebellion. In the council elections declared so far Labour have lost around 55% of the former seats that have been declared
Oh yes and the pound is going down the tube again as the markets realise that he is a totally busted flush
So nothing at all to worry about then. Just stay calm and do everything Gordon tells you. It will all go away.
“Every day in every way I’m getting better and better”

More morphine would be better.
Still live chatting the local election results and Brown’s funeral. Live Chat.
The Metropolitan police have also released an update concerning the MPs expenses investigation. Police Statement.
I haven’t even read the statement but I can tell you what it says.
With the possible exception of the myopic Vulture of Blackburn, Mandelshit is the most odious piece of slime on the face of the planet. He’s in it for himself, 100%. If he thought he could take over, he’d stick the knife in Cyclops today, even though there’d be constitutional problems with his status in the Lords. With his innate animal cunning he knows he’s loathed by many in the NuLiabour ranks, decent people who find back-passage boys utterly repellent. Shit-stabbers are even more vulnerable to scandal than heteros and his reluctance, so far, to move against the One-Eyed Scottish Idiot says more about his faecally-spattered background than it does about any political reluctance to go for the biggest brass ring of all.
Or that any possible successor of Brown would be rid of Mandy like a shot.

Additionally, there will be evidence in respect of water, gas,electricity and telephone bills. Council Tax payments would also make interesting reading.
A more clearer cut case of fraud/theft is unimaginable and yet no action will be taken by a Police Service that is highly selective in choosing what laws it decides to enforce. Should this state of affairs continue it will lead to anarchy, and rightly so.
Well surprise sur-fecking-prise.
The Met seem to think that they need to prove that MPs had an intent to deceive. Now correct me if I’m wrong, but if I make a mistake on my tax return, isn’t just the fact that I made a mistake, no matter what my intent was, enough for me to be convicted of fiddling my taxes?
One law for us, one law for them.
Let a jury decide
Boris….looks like we need another Chief Con
“highly unlikely” Of course it is. It has nothing to do with guilt. It is that no one will dare step forward.
A politically connected person tried to kill me. The Police did all they could to hide the case. It was not until much later afterwards, after waiting to go to court, that I found that it was brushed under the carpet, but no one told me. They had no intention of doing anything. I found out, that the person, went on to taunt me publicly but I was away so I never knew.
Do not expect any police to take any action against any government connected person. Unless they have been ordered to do it.
Hardly a surprise Uddin, Malik and the rest are on the fiddle. All the Asian imports are at it, all over the country. It’s a way of life to them

On QT last night who was that red headed bitch gurning about poor Gordon and how evil and misunderstood we all are for picking on him and she’s meant to be the head of the house of lords as well LOL
Where did they dug her up from to give her a peerage for licking Gordon’s arse.
She is Miss Blow Job 1909 – just missed going on the Titanic (had a trick in Mayfair) and now she is making up for it by being on the HMS Titanic 2 – her speciality is claiming all is well as she drowns.
Calimed to be Baroness Royal (sic), Lead of the House of Lords. What a shocker! In her view Brown is Master of The Universe and all on Planet Brown was hunky-dory. She is clearly stark-raving bonkers. God knows what she did before she got into the Lords, but I hope it didn’t involve being responsible for anyone or anything – best argument yet for an hereditary second chamber where numpty PM’s can’t just indert their tame mates.
MP’s get a whitewash on their expenses:
Metropolitan Police (motto: “Helping You Trough for a Safer Westminster”) statement:
“The panel’s view is that, unless evidence is available which shows individuals deliberately misled the fees office, it is highly unlikely that there could be a successful prosecution. Many of those complained about appear to have provided accurate information and therefore the MPS will not pursue a criminal investigation into allegations against them.”
Alan Johnson quick off the mark there then I see.
Nothing to see here. Move along. Its all within the rules

Lets hope this sort of thing never happens to Brown. Millions would be put off their Breakfasts which is, as we know from Nurse Dawn, the most important meal of the day. If it did what sort of people would be in the photo’s ?
Harriett and Mandy have been holed up in No.10 since this morning.
It almost seems as though they are the two doing the reshuffle.
When did we last see Brown.???
Is he just sitting on the sofa, biting his nails and vaguely watching proceedings whilst Mandy and Harriett dole out jobs and interview potential candidates????
Odd isn’t it that both of them coveted the Leader’s job and neither of them have the wherewithal to win it and now they’re the one’s wielding the power.
Neither of them want to lead Labour at the next election. They don’t want to do the Iain Duncan Smith role.
Hattie will be the next Labour Leader IF the whole party votes.
“Hattie will be the next Labour Leader IF the whole party votes.”
Just about the only way they could do worse than keep Brown.
But the feminist/lesbian lot that run the party machine want Hattie regardless.
As far as I saw Brown didn’t even go and vote in person yesterday. In every democracy in the world, and a fair few which aren’t really democracies, you normally see the leader voting on TV.
This really shows the contempt he has for democracy and what people think.
He’s probably on the sofa watching Tricia.
Mandy “holed up”?? For pity’s sake, this is no time to be into that kind of thing, there’s a crisis to spin.
Breaking News SKY
Tories take Devon from LD
First Somerset now Devon. The targets are going down like dominoes now.
And yet the BBC still report that “Conservatives AND LDs making gains” as is the two parties were doing roughly as well as each other.
From what we see so far, the big winners are the Tories, its must be a big disappointment for whatsisname, the lib-dem chappie, Compo is it? If the LDs can’t make hay under these conditions, what will their excuse be?
cream teas all round !
What is all this nonsense about Alan Johnson as a successor to McMental? He and all the other ‘men’ got their backsides kicked by Hattie Hatemenperson in the deputy leadership bid.
Let me make it clear. If the next leader is selected BY the Labour party as a whole it will be Hattie. Most of the grass roots in Labour are ‘wimmin’ and they have their feminist agenda.
or it could be the lovely Glenys
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8086207.stm
Glenys Kinnock is to join the government as Minister for Europe in a surprise appointment.
The wife of former Labour leader Neil Kinnock is to be elevated to the House of Lords to enable her to take on the role vacated by Caroline Flint.
Where is the best place to go for council election coverage, BBC is fucking SHIT, they are about 3 hours behind, are they outside drowning street? Seems that nobody is interested in the results, I am. I want to see lots of orange and blue on a funky map with interaction and stuff, maybe a live feed?
Are’t too many results coming in yet – but Sky looking good
I’m looking at the Sky twitter thing. Conservatives doing well going on that.
Worth listening to Iain Dale on internet. Not covered by ofcom restrictions and quite funny.
Yep, I’m listening to that too. They just had Boris on.
They need extra ballot stuffing/rigging time?
WTF? why the fucking huge delay in counting, what the fuck is going on here!
Waiting all fucking Huhning day for a handfull of results, the BBC and toenails bleating about all the parties suffering, how the fuck does he know with only a few results?
Maybe they’re looking for an empty room in which to put a few boxes.
Jack Straw on Radio Pravda BBC now:
“We have to be allowed to fix the system before a General Election”.
That is like letting criminals fix the criminal justice system.
And Jack, you have not been “out on the streets”.
How do I know?
No-one has punched you out.
McStalin is just like one of those Soviet era dictators who is already dead, but the Party are not telling the people.
General Election – NOW! This is now a matter for the people & the ballot box.
I so agree with this, well said that man!
Ditto!
Allow you to fix the system, Jack? Why should we? You’ve fucking well fixed everything else!
I can confirm that I have been offered the position of Home Secretary by the Prime Minister.
I have told Gordon that I will be more than happy to stay at home, sit on the Prime Minister’s lap and let him fuck me occasionally.
He really does love me you know.
No, no! He’s mine. All mine!!!
Something that made me really angry, even by the standard of that last few weeks, was an interview with a Labour MP (sorry, missed his name, but maybe someone else will recognise the interview and fill in the details) on The World At One earlier.
He said that it wouldn’t be right to have a general election now, because people’s votes would be swayed by the expenses scandal and that might distort the results. Sorry, pal, but that’s called democratic accountability. You behave like a bunch of crooks, and we don’t vote for you. That’s exactly the way is should work. It makes me so fecking angry that these people think they have a right to carry on the way they do and the ordinary voters should just have to put up with it.
Have you noticed: They’ve gone and got away with it.
While we’re all distracted watching that bastard sack of fucking weasels that is our current Government scratching and spitting and fighting for their survival, last weeks huge, world-changing, unseen-ever-before, only-in-your-Daily-Telegraph story is quietly being used to wrap our chips.
We thought Blear, Darling et al were criminals : now we’re slightly impressed that they stood up to Brown, and pissed him off.
How quickly we forget…
Very good point this!
To be fair, the expenses scandal was front page news for nearly a month with Brown counting the minutes until the election wiped it from the agenda. I can’t think of many stories that have been front page for that long.
The public attention span is generally about the length of one episode of Eastenders, so be grateful.
It does seem though that once information has reached the sub-conscious of the public it does tend to stay there for a couple of weeks, hence the drubbing Labour are getting today.
All we need now though is for the collapsed economy to be talked up, the housing market to start to lift, and all will be forgotten.
Cretins.
I disagree that the general public are no better than sheep. They are actually no better than a shoal of tropical fish.
If Brown moves left, the shoal turns left. If Brown moves right, the shoal moves right. If Brown swims into the mouth of a shark, the public swim into the mouth too.
It seems that it is far easier to brainwash a nation than Orwell predicted.
Where’s Guido, has some ZaNuLab crim nicked his laptop

Whilst our attention is being occupied elsewhere I see Gordoom has obviously decided that this is a good day to bury bad news.
MPs above the law.

Now we just need to bring on the election so we can vote out all those who dipped their fingers in the public till.

No. And she shakes like a shitting dog when she interviews people.

She did make a few useful comments on the programme,but very odd to want to be associated with Brown – perhaps a question of power (no matter with whom) corrupts?

We have now officially reached the bottom of Labour’s barrel
No you have n’t !! Keep scraping, I’m further down with Keith Vasoline
Bob Ainsworth is just another pigswilling trougher so he has all the credentials – friends with Nick Brown and talks utter tosh
Leave my fake oak beams out of this. I am exceedingly popular with the armed forces, and the latest and greatest in a distinguished line of wartime Labour British Defence Secretaries.
FFS, when are these council votes going to be “official”.
Want to see toenails trying to spin an utter collapse in the labour vote and Tory gains across the board.
They don’t want the irish voters to get any fancy ideas probably. Irelandland are voting today.

Labour anally shafted in Lancashire – held by them since 1981 – lost to Tories (tbc)
Cons take Staffs too
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.
Sick of hearing Jon Pienaar on Radio5.
His pro-labour ripostes are tedious in the extreme. Nik Cohen certain that Milliband, Darling and co entirely agree with Purnell but have singularly failed to show any backbone in following Purnell and removing Brown. Fears are that this scenario will repeat itself somewhere down the line. Obviously doesn’t matter to New Labour that the country is going down the pan. Their removal is the only chance we have to get some stability NOT their continuing in power (which is after all want Brown wants, for ever….)How much more do we the great (?) british public have to put up with????
i was quite surprised by cohen for once. he seemed to have a good grip on what the general public were thinking. unusual for a lefty but nice anyway!
You’ve all missed the point. He can’t sack Darling until Mandy’s had his wicked way with him. He’s being coy. Likes being chased, does Alastair.
If Alan Sugar gets into government will he be able to buy razor blades on expenses?
The girls love a man with a face like sandpaper – ask my missus.
Did your beard grow at Berkeley, in Berkeley or on a Berk ??
The Sugar thing is hilarious – Sugar, a barrow boy who revels in his title (yes sirallun) gets to become lordallun, whilst el Gormless tries to ride on his popularity. Could it look any lamer? Has mandy serioulsy told him this is a good idea? If so, he’s either losing his grip or, more likely, it’s all part of the plan….
Plan more likely. Meddlebum, repulsive as he is, is a master politician.
Thank you sir for the compliment.
P.S. What does Sir Alan make? I’ve never bought anything of his nor has anybody I know? How does he make his money – it’s a bit worrying.
…like most of his north London mates – property.
What ever it was it never worked; I think he has a property portfolio now, so that had a hammering, otherwise, this is a joke appointment. A talentless government.
Don’t you remember the Amstrad PC? I used to have one back in the early 80s. It was crap.
I think he makes his money these days by appearing on the telly pretending he knows enough to tell other people how to run a business. But soon he’ll make his money with expenses claims.
Amstrad was sold to BskyB
His property business is Amsprop (?) and I think he still owns teh PC / IT co. – VIGLEN
plus a couple of other businesses.
It’s more than worrying, the best that yesterdays comments could come up with was:
Amstrad Lo Fi x 1
Car Radio Aerial x 1
Amstrad ‘e-mailer’ x 1
Way back when he got started with money he’d accumulated by growing beetroot in his nan’s back garden, boiling them, skinning, slicing, pickling and eventually flogging them to local traders, he went into electronic components via car radio aerials. Basically a market trader, but he grew his business into a bit of a monster, making Low Fi – all in one box, no wiring issues except power plug and speaker cables, lots of dials, switches and lights, cheap (but great margins ‘cos the stuff inside was not AAA-quality components), put together in a factory in Tottenham. Then the workforce grew to a sufficient size for the fucking unions to get involved, and for strikes. This was the bad old days. So Alan Sugar told them, you go on strike and you’ll all be sacked. They thought he was bluffing, he sacked them all and shipped the manufacturing toi Taiwan where he was buying the bits, and shipped finished goods instead. Profits went through the roof, he got bigged up in the press, so he went plc and made a mega-profit on a massively over-subscribed floatation.
Diversified into televisions, made another fortune on CB radios (flogged in advance of even being made), then into PC’s and eventually telephone email thingys.
Got fed up of the rules and regulations of public ownership, so collapsed the share price and bought the company back to run privately.
Sold out to BskyB I think, and moved into property. Still has Viglen I think. You can check it on Wikipedia probably.
A lot smarter than Gordon the Moron.

More details of the rolling disaster that is the Labour Party
Sky News sense predicting a Conservitude majority of 4 in a general election.
What’s the betting on their not making it in to power?
Labour gangbanged in Staffordshire – lost to Tories – held since 1981.
Still,the Cabinet are ok so that all right then.
Labour lose control in Derbyshire Tories on course to take overall control only Notts left
PM Gordon Brown: “I’m completely fucked, Suralan. Are you going to fire me?”
Lord Amstrad: “Don’t give me all that completely fucked shit. I’ve been sell completely fucked shit for years. Go back to the house you useless Scotch twat.”
If Liebour are wondering why they are loosing council seats in their normal safe industrial heartland, dont look at expenses or parliamentary reform, its because their is no more industry left and so NO FUCKING JOBS.
Not entirely true. There is industry left, but it’s changed completely. The old days of unthinking, repetitive, unskilled jobs have all but gone, and the firms that remain are lean, mean, highly productive and modern – they have to be to survive in the global economy. They want to employ people who can think for themselves and work unsupervised, often in a very high-tech environment. Finding good staff isn’t easy, and partly expains why the no-hopers are collecting benefits. But the employed ones tend to be the brighter ones, and you can see beginning to be reflected in their voting patterns.
Surely the best way for the Cabinet ministers to act is to resign AFTER the cabinet has been “re-shuffled” today – perhaps after the world record awful results of today and Sunday come in and justify their resignations on the basis of these appalling results.
That would then be goterdammerung for Brown.
My cat has more brains and common sense than the entire cabinet. And just as much balls. Used to have considerably more balls than the cabinet before we took him to the vet.
Vote Tory to wipe the smirk off Dimbleby’s face.
If Labour want to make a thing about ‘millionaire’ MPs having second jobs – Lord Sugar will be the perfect riposte. Yet again, they really haven’t thought this through, have they?
The usual headline grabbing gimmick with no proper planning or substance.
The Penguin
It is quite simple Guido
You are wondering what I am up to…
I am backing Brown
1) to smell good when the wole shebang collapes – in a day, month or year..
I will then be regarded as a senior stateman of the Labour Parety (des^pite having had to resign twice etc and all my personal wroing doins)
2) More importantly, ro remain Business Secretary (and now responsible for “Science” – High Tech as well). I have direct access to any business person in Britain or wanting to trade with Britain…I can “trade” this power of subsidies, approvals, etc (billions of £ worh) later into an IMMENSE fortune (and you know I have nothing against the “filthy rich” I said it publicly)..there are dozens of “public relations” firms (many run by friends of mine) knocking on my door every day…That is New Labour…They “organise”‘ favours…contracts, licenses, etc…
So I will be offered literally DOZENS of positions when I leave goverment…just have to wait a few months (like Hewitt and the medical companies she dealt with while Minister of Health) and I canl become one of the richest men in Britain..Just wait and see..I will pay off the mortgage on my Palace in Regents Park in a few months..then I wil think of a villa in the south of France like our good friend Ronnie Cohen, perhaps even in New York (or Russia with Oleg) like him as well..and of course I have my UK government handouts, EU (tax free) handouts, and everything else I have managed to “network” in recent years
I know it all totally cynical and Britain is up shit creek..
But that’s the way I am

I’ve just suffered the humiliation of being beaten into 5th (last) place by a Nazi. I didn’t expect to do well, even though the division used to be a Labour one, but I did not expect to be beaten by the fascists.
Who’s to blame? I’m sure there’s more we could have done locally, even though this was the first year we have contested all the seats in our district in many, many years. Our little band of activists have kept the party going, but we are short on resources (especially human resources) and we did what we could. We confronted the B&P and many of the local policies we championed were locally popular.
