+++ Exclusive : Purnell “Will Stand” +++
Unconfirmed, Guido is checking – a source has just phoned, claiming to be at the drinks reception for North West Labour Party parliamentary researchers, where James Purnell has just told them that, if no credible candidate comes forward by noon tomorrow, he himself will stand..
You read it here first…
UPDATE 18.54 : Have just texted Purnell, no response. Can’t get hold of his former SpAd either.
UPDATE 20.27 : Looks like this will stay exclusive, Guido got punked, guess we will know for sure soon. Never wrong for long…
Good news at last!
Think he’ll get the signatures? How long until Brown feigns an illness in the Commons – maybe falls off his seat and then stands down due to ill health?
He doesn’t need to feign anything; at this rate, he is sure to be sectioned under the mental health act?
One can at least hope!
Gordon Brown is a man of integrity and Purnell realises that. Purnell’s resignation was a clever attempt to encourage the Labour Party to rally round Brown. He will be back in the Cabinet in months and will be there to see Gordon Brown lead Labour to a fantastic victory in 2010.
Ha. Nice Hardwidget… you remind of someone. Its uncanny.
Brown appears safe. For a few more months.
The plotters are all still there and they still want him out the door and they have a lot more company.
but they now realise they must strike far closer to the Election as they think the winner of the contest must announce the Election date immediately after winning. So they are stepping back and letting things cool down for the moment. They won’t chance an Election right now but later, later, as the date gets closer and unavoidable anyway and they have nothing to lose, they will attack.
Around autumn as Mandelson tries to shift Milliboy from HIS job in the Foreign Office and Balls thinks he can move on Darling it all begins again but this time three will be no stepping back.
Please look out for people impersonating me.
They fall into the trap of being clever, correct and polite. I am neither of those.
Oh Please can Gordon at least stay until PMQs on Wednesday.
noooo! it cant be true! Ive got 10-1 at paddy power that this PMQs brown is wearing a dress and an Obama ’08 campaign hat
It time for Jonah the Jinx again
Jonah Brown has just had his first UK wide elections as supposed Leader of the Labour party. It notched up a number of notable firsts.
* First Loss in Wales since, well for about forever.
* First Loss in Scotland since, well for about forever.
* First BNP person elected in a National Election since, well forever.
* First time Labour have come third in a National Election since, well for about forever.
* First time as third party of local government in England, well for about forever.
* First time under 20 per cent vote share, well for about forever.
I’m sure there are more.
SOONER THE BETTER THE BEST NEWS ALL DAY .WHY DID HE NOT GO TO TONIGHTS MEETING AND SAY IT THERE THE REBELS WERE BY ALL ACCOUNTS TIMMID AND SOME EVEN CAME UOT KISSING HIS ARSE I COULD STILL BE ON FOR MY PREDICTION THAT HE’LL BE GONE BY FRIDAY !
@Goingdownthepan.
Gone already, it would seem. Here are the marks for your latest pieces of work, which I have tried to judge gently.
Spelling. 2/10
Punctuation. 3/10
Presentation 1/10
You really must try harder, and pay more attention. As a very vain and mendacious man once said, “Education, education, education”
listen you twat i’m dicklicksick
Elby, stones … glass houses … people who …
Check your own punctuation, squire!
and you need to learn to spell proper like, it’s EDUKASHUN, EDUKASHUN, EDUKASHUN and has been even since the ‘O’ levels were replaced by GCSEs to enable work-shy working class arseholes to go to Uni, become Labour M.P.s. and put their lavatory seats down to expenses as well as wrecking the country.
not much of a teacher just look at the fucking drongo’s your school’s are turning out !
I met Purnell once.
He stank, like a heavily soiled carpet.
Not really, i believe that one can safely assume that the bottom of the barrel has now been reached.
The hoon is still a Trotsky Marxist fuckwit.
Purnell has been a part of the problem! and is not the solution?
doesn’t matter if he stands it will get the ball rolling and it could snowball.
Keep scraping, we’re further down !!
We’ll all accept a peerage and a non-job in the Cabinet if the others have enough courage to resign.
am sure the Labour Freinds of Israel will mobilize on his behalf and the zab’s (zionists against Brown)
WTF?
pop over to labourhome.org and vote in the should the Gorgon go now!
Purnell’s a troughing hypocritical parasite and a streak of weasel-shit.
“Getting tough on benefit cheats” whilst flipping, avoiding CGT, charging accountancy fees to the public tit along with his collection of fucking fridge magnets. Whilst supporting every repulsive little nulabor wheeze cooked up by Bliar and McBroon. Never a proper job either. PPE graduate, IPPR, BBC, nulabor.
And this doink is their great rainbow-coloured hope?
Basil, where’s your brush?
Anon 136.
Stuck to my coxxyx. Where’s your balls?
On Gordon’s platter………
Boom Boom
Why are there so many Basils now? Hmmm ….
He speaks highly of you too
)
Pourquoi est-ce que les goélands suivent le chalutier?
Wouldn’t there be a strange satisfaction in seeing a troughing Hoon like Purnell bring down the Scottish Cnut, who’s also a troughing Hoon and just happens to be the worst “PM” in history and one of those utterly discredited arseholes who make you wish their mothers had gone for a back-street abortion? If it must be Purnell, then so be it. The only downside is that Dave will have a smaller majority.
What’s more he’s the worst Chancellor in history!
i dont give a flying fuck if the put up” sonic the fucking hedgehog ” so long as we are rid of Mc twat. once he’s gone theyre fucked ,headless chickens and the party go’s into meltdown there is no one capable of running their party so they will have to call an election . bye bye !
It will take courage and competence to unseat McTwat. Labour are utterly devoid of both!
“And this doink is their great rainbow-coloured hope?”
More like shit-coloured enemy of the working class.
Sounds about right.
The weasley fucker needs to get his hands dirty or even claim benefits.
Then he would know how bad the system he presided over has become.
Fucking hoon. That Hunt IS part of the problem. He has helped to drive the working class into the dirt.
Basil, there’s no need to be bashful — please tell us what you really think of Purnell.
Raised by the NWO political class conveyer belt system of rent a stooge, placed in positions far above their capabilities and therefore servile and constantly in fear of the next replacable on the conveyer belt.
Did anyone catch the end of Bremner, Bird and Fortune last night? The song that Brown sang at the end was brilliant! “I tried to go on the telly, ooh ,ooh but my looks were too bad…”
You can or you want to?
But do you have any corroberation or are just just a loony?
The Penguin
Sorry…just to clarify…I was referring to Gordon Strachan resigning as Celtic boss. This happened a few weeks ago. Please do keep me informed about the Gordon Brown situation.
Love,

We know who the loony is.
Look, this is really getting tedious, why don’t you just build a bridge and get over yourself, he, whom ever he is, is entitled to his opinion.
Or build a bridge and get under it. And have that Attention Deficit Disorder seen to.
Or find yourself a handy park bench. Not this one, though, it’s reserved.
Purnell has as much chance of winning an election as Gordon Brown – i.e zero.
Purnell knows he has no chance, and I doubt that he is standing (if he is indeed standing) to win. He is putting down a marker for the post-election scenario. NuLab is heading for a long and dark night of soul-searching, and he is developing the Purnell brand for use during NuLab’s protracted spell in opposition. He’s young, and can afford to play a long game.
+++ Exclusive: Dumb Paddy fished in by student hoaxer +++
fraid not, the cowardly selfserving bastards of PLP are overwhelmingly supporting brown, we now have to see if any of them grow any back bone or find integrity, or remember they are there to serve the people, thats all the people of their constituency, and their conscience, and do the right thing and vote for no confidence, the pigs will still be troughing, looks like it will have to be the people that decide for them.
Look at the anti-facist (far left = labour supporters) mobs up north they are rallying against BNP surely there must be an appitite for the majority to get rid of of this beginings of a dictatorship, mandleson should also be told in no uncertain terms he has no power in government, go get elected if he wan’ts some
LMFAO! – not such a good source, eh Guido? I was refreshing the page, knowing deep down and dreading that it would be a hoax.
I am not spooked by Purnell….I too will stand
My second term as President of the United States is up soon
this is fookin messy
It could be argued that Gordon Brown’s continuence in office and NuLab’s dissarray is not a bad scenario for David Cameron.
David Cameron’s problem will be revealing his manifesto when a GE is announced, with all the full horror of the necessary medicine this country will have to endure to repair the crippled economy, which NuLab are continuing to propogate with Darling’s irresponsible borrowing.
too true.
The labour party will lie to the people and make out that the economy can carry on swimmingly with the extra TRILLION pounds of borrowing they have lined up.
They do not think it needs to be paid back obviously!
but if hes honest and non spinning he might get some where
Get with the programme Freddie, Dave’s dodgy, can’t be trusted.
‘E’s a benefit cheat.
Thieving pig.

Well good luck to him. The knobheads at the PLP meeting have just cheered the Scotch twat as he entered the room. It just beggars belief.
We English do cheer losers. Eddie ‘the Eagle’ Edwards ring any bells? Of course, cheering them and not stabbing them in the back are two entirely different things …
Gordon “the Dodo” Brown has a certain ring to it, a bit like Mandy’s butt.

Doesnt look like it
not even close
Did they not teach you to count at school. That is an eight, so you were 8th.
His numeracy is outstanding.
He scores 139%, being marked down only for lack of punctuation and anonymity, innit?
“Oxford & Cambridge A-level Board says:

You owe me glass of very nice Merlot, no actually i owe you one…I’ll pour it as soon as I’ve cleaned this screen
who cares? Mandy didnt back him before so he has no chance
when you say ‘Mandy didn’t back him…’ do you mean what I think you might mean?
Oooooh.
Hopefully so….
Milliband must be kicking himself, or perhaps eating a banana.
Milliband will follow. Purnell is at best a stalking horse.
But which one? Bananaman or Father Ed?
Harriet will be with the foremost.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ……………………
I am the Stalking Horse
Nayyyyyy, I am the stalking horse
Nayyy! *I* am the stalking horse
But has he found out how to open it yet?
Last I heard he had referred the problem to the Smith Institute.
Surely everyone learned – in Junior School – how to do it: One skin…;two skin…; three skin….. ?
One serial trougher verses another.
Stand? He can’t stand unless he has the support of 70 MPs.
Dickhead.
He doesn’t stand a chance.
the people may decide this one, if Purnell does put himself forward, I do not for one second believe the Labour party would be allowed turn him down on a one on one with Brown.
Is the source sober?
Miliband = Portillo too frit to stand against McBroon.
Good, at least he has spunk. Much table banging at the PLP meeting and a number of people locked out! Tossers
Spineless swine the lot of them
“Ooh, you are awful!
But I like you!”
cant even organise a fucking room big enough to hold 349 troughing scumbag shithead tossers . liebore party conference this year to be held in the back room of the ” duck on the moat ” public house !
doesnt he need 70 signatures before he can stand
easy – just get Frank Field to sign 70 times
After last week they don’t have 70 elected members left. Its a scam. There aren’t enough signatures left to challenge Brown.
No problem, ask for a postal vote.
I now know of three people from the north east who applied for postal votes well before the deadline and none of them turned up……..strange…..
If the story is true then unless he’s a complete oaf he will at least have some signatures lined up from the Blairites and other disgruntled MP’s. 70 out of over 300 does not seem an impossible target even from that crew of yellow bellies, especially as there must be many who realised they are doomed or have simply had enough and no longer fear the wrath of Nick Brown [difficult to picture, I know]
In any case he will be putting down a marker for the future and hoping to eradicate his otherwise assured place in history as the only MP who both had his nose in the trough and lived in a sty.
Why is anyone afraid of that fat poofter? After all, just don’t bend over in front of him.

please god don’t tell me that’s the best you’ve got.
fucking hell.
what a let down.
you’re shit.
it’ll do. When Brown goes you’ll have to buy your own tissues. Or go back to using a sock.
still shit.
getting warmer though?
How very dare you!
70 signatures yes, but they only need to come from 35 addresses. It’s called signature flipping.
That’s all right then. Looks like labour will now be in position six, after the Conservatives, Lib Dems, UKIP, BNP, and Independants.
How reliable is this source? Sounds very iffy.
Possibly a Pimms-related story. Will the turkeys of the PLP vote for Xmas? They know they’re going to get stuffed eventually, but see no point in heaping themselves with Brussels sprouts and bread sauce just yet. After all, at least 95% of them are completely unemployable.
A Labour MP’s priorities are these (assuming you can have more than one priority, which offends against etymology but is sadly, in these illiterate days, a commonplace usage):
1. Self
2. Self
3. Self
4. Self
5. Party
6. The Gorgon
7. EU
8. Unions
9. Labour voters
10. The country
Complete bollocks. None of them give a stuff about the country.
first! I met that Purnell once and can confirm his slipperiness.
oh well not first then
First!
600th. Man, if I ever get close to the top, I’m going to write in there ’27th’. Just imagine how much that will impress people …
Keep Brown in place…every month he remains gives the conservatives another 5 seats…
The BBC claim he is at the PLP meeting in Westminster -
I see the thought police are alive and well here. Get a fucking life will ya.

Purnell is not at the PLP meeting, fact.
has he got a big dick?
Not as big as Andy Burnham’s.
Purnell is a slippery little shit.
Did Stanislav ever write a description of Purnell?
Don’t know but you could ask him as he’s does come here and Old Holborn’s blog, Swiss Bobs blog Daily Politics where you can still find samples of his current writings,I think call me ishmehal or whatever is his blog
Philistine!
http://mrishmael.blogspot.com/
Here’s his take on Purnell, from The Daily Politics
James Purnell – Soap Dodging Thief
James Purnell, the Work and Pensions Secretary, avoided paying capital gains tax on the sale of his London flat after claiming taxpayer-funded expenses for advice from an accountant, The Daily Telegraph can disclose.
The Cabinet minister saved thousands of pounds after informing the parliamentary authorities that Manchester was his “main” home while the tax authorities considered London to be his “primary” residence. Mr Purnell claimed for a £395 accountant’s bill that included “tax advice provided in October 2004 regarding sale of flat” on parliamentary expenses which are intended to cover the costs of running an MP’s office.
A Swift for our times
Nice scoop !
I expect Team Brown to carpet bomb the media with “he sleeps with baby lambs”-type smeers against Purnell before the night is out.
Purnell sleeps with baby lambs.
p.s. Labour Trolls finish at 5pm when they stop being paid.
No no — Purnell sleeps with the fishes tonight.
Wont there be mention of his expenses? There’s fertile ground for attack.
I can’t stand Purnell, he’s the worst of the Tories in Labour colours!
yes yes Dr Nuts, you are quite right.
there definitely is fertile ground for attack over david ‘dodgyfuckingc’unt’ cameron’s allowance claims.
he is worth thirty million pounds but he still set up his affairs specifically so as to maximise his allowance claim.
why is a multi millionaire claiming housing benefit in the first place?
and why is the claimant making fraudulent applications to maximise that handout?
david cameron is a dodgy scrounging millionaire motherfucker.
he is a c’unt like blair.
two cheeks of the same backside.
can’t be trusted.
As is Shaun Woodward..SHAUN WOODWARD ……SHAUN WOODWARD.You know the man with his own butler and supermarket and SIX houses.
Agreed.
He is on the list.
Purnell might very well stand,but can he deliver ?
I doubt it,banish him to the backbenches
Ooooh, ooohhh…your money or your liiiiiffffeee!!
Thanks Adam..
Not quite, your money and no benefits! He’s another private pensions attack-dog!
Not gonna happen. Brown’s safe.
Purnell will be at the bottom of the Thames with concrete shoes by midnight…
Don’t you mean the Irwell?
err, well – guess you’re right!
At least he’s doing something. Probably too late as who will ever vote Labour again apart from my fellow Geordies?
Ronnie Campbell for Speaker!!!
… and Ronnie Kray for Father of the House!
Now there is a seriously stupid man.
I would say he is the most stupid of all MPs, or in the words of Esther Rantzen ‘… unless you can tell us differently …’.
Not in Newcastle, they won’t. Council’s been Lib Dem for a few years.
“a source has just phoned..” = One of Mandy’s henchmen shit-stirring.
MP’s cheer Gordon. Wow what a bunch of sycophantic cowards.
Even if this is stage managed then that statement still applies.
Question asked on BBC: what will people make if he survives until the end of this week? The people will think exactly what they thought at the beginning of the week, before the council elections and before the Euro’s. The verdict on Gordon and NewLiars may have to wait but when the people speak in the next General Election then maybe the spineless ones will understand what the people really think.
I reckon 16% is about right for NewLiars in the next GE. They are down to core support and will stay there or decline further.
and If Dave says “100% EU referendum in first month of office” then he could get 44.2% of the vote…
That’s all the Conservative + UKIP votes.
Does Dave want a landslide victory more than keeping his rich friends happy?
And if Dave doesn’t say “100% EU referendum in the first month of office” as a part of the Conservative manifesto then I, and an awful lot of others, will most definitely vote UKIP at the next election.
me2
…and I might even break the habit of a life-time (no, not that habit!) and vote Cornish Nationalist – even though it’s full of second home, wealthy incomers.
‘Goes without saying.
If you do that, Labour have a fourth term in office.
Or the Conservatives take power with a majority of ziltch
The only vote he’ll lose is Ken Clarke.
Pity, he’s a capable bloke and would be the better Chancellor but he’s expendable at the same time.
Anyway, thinking /clarke is very very quiet nowadays is he not ?
Dave’s only in it for the cash.
As soon as the thieving c’unt got in he was maxing his allowances.
Dirty fucking benefit scrounger.
You Tory trolls seem completely unperturbed that your leader is a
A FUCKING HOUSING BENEFIT CHEAT.
What a fucking carry on.
and here he is again!
Keep quiet about house benefit cheats, you wanker !!!!
yeah, good one, innit?
dave’s a thieving fraudster.
and you, 381, are stalking a juvenile.
fuck off nonce.
Well, actually, old chap, you know, toffs are usually pretty well off already, old thing, so aren’t in it for the money. Do calm down, you”ll do yourself a mischief.
oh dear, elby.
I fear you have solicited your soul. others, more unkind than me, would call you a whore.
but you have stumbled onto a good point.
what sort of a fucking scumbag multi millionaire would claim housing benefit and what sort of an imbecile party supporter would condone such obvious nonsense?
you just don’t get it, do you?
I’ll spell it out – dave is a skinflint c’unt who entered public life to stuff his pockets with hard earned taxpayers cash. dave was only ever in it for the money: check the record, dave maxed out quicker than a smackhead with a prescription pad. what a greedy fucking c’unt.
note to dave: fuck off out of it dave. you are not fit to hold office.
you are a fucking joke cameron.
ditto gideon.
a pair of fucking useless, self serving arseholes: benefit cheat and beggar.
As bad as he is, please keep the useless twat Gorgon in place. I’m enjoying his daily suffering and humiliation immensely.
It’s also a guarantee that he will be booted out at the election when they crash into oblivion under his stewardship.
Heaven forbid those NuLabia bastards come up with a ‘credible’ replacement.
I use the word ‘credible’ in the sense that more plebs and idiots will actually vote for this shower of shit than those deluded souls that do so already.
Agreed – keep Brown in – at least I can get my former pension’s worth of his humiliation and the annihilation of the Labour party.
Keep your pensions safe, do NOT vote Labour!
what d’ya want? One party state? That’s weird. (insert gag here about already being NK ______)
Our highways are wide enough and LDV rocket carriers will lead to employment
“a source has just phoned..” = One of Mandy’s henchmen stirring.
This has been on my mind since the weekend hence my question earlier. It sat kind of oddly on the blog Guido – like a picture that isn’t straight. Good spot. He’ll go absolutely…….more mental!
He is apparently facing an emergency Constituency meeting on Friday – notionally, local complaints about his commitment to the local party, but obviously about his resignation and calls for Brown to go.
The PLP are spineless – although I could be proved completely wrong in the next couple of hours. Whatever else you think, a one party wipeout and further emasculating of parliament ain’t going to be a good thing.
Cruddas made me laugh – no need to change leader because there’s no alternative policy programme. Ha ha ha. Plonker.
I hope it’s true but somehow I think it won’t happen. I do believe that when the time comes for Brown to vacate No 10 they’ll have to crowbar him out. The first PM to be removed from No 10 by men in white coats???

Without doubt the situation is a national emergency, Brown MUST be kept in place to ensure a Tory landslide next May.
We must keep brown and mandy in place as this is the best hope to distroy nu Lab for 25 years.
That’s like enjoying Chernobyl because you’re against the idea of nuclear power.
time ticks tock tick…….
come late summer the current upturn in ftse and house sales stats the mini boom come spring bounce will have.. died a death… unemployment will be pushing forth and the pressure on gov debt (gilts) will be such that interest rates will be on the way up in the states and pressure to do same here.
Its about the economy……
Brown and Balls engineered UKs deregulated banks and are charged with responsibility for getting us where we are.
Come late winter 2010 the current 18% of popular vote labour currently enjoy will be testing single figures!
The “upturn” in the FTSE is inflation anticipation.
And thousands will find themselves bankrupted mid-summer holiday as the £’s plunged through the floor. They’ll be hitchhiking to the nearest airport home as they can’t afford a taxi.
This government is now beyond parody.
Next we’ll have Livingstone and Galloway running against Brown!
that would be fantastic!
Listening to the leader of some anti-fascist, smash the B&P party blah blah blah – yup, he’s a Scot.
They’re not Anti-Fascist, they just “prefer a different victim group” fascist.
You can see they’re Fascist by their tactics.
Just listened to the Scottish anti-fascist fascist talking on Sky News! I am not and never will be a BNP supporter, but in a democracy I believe people can vote for who they want – even the idiots who voted Labour on Thursday!
*Giggle*
I like the fascists . They make me feel even prettier than I am already x .
E x .
obviously PLAN A hasnt worked–RESIGN–others will follow–QUICK KILL
PLAN B–dont think there was one
BROWN and MANDELSON are going too eat him ALIVE
Yuk.
Good. Labour will still loose – that’s almost certain – but they should still be able to be an effective opposition if they change leader. Our system relies on there being one. A post-election with Brown party will be heading for meldown of the worst kind.
No opposition there. All I saw tonight was a flock of pre-programmed sheep all told to say the same things. Even Boulton was struggling to look interested.
Nothing will happen except for being told how many tractors were assembled during the meeting.
Yep, to be repeated ad-nauseum by the BBC.
Nick Robinson will explain how this was such a wonderful day for Britain. I’m sure there’s a labour dictionary of Double-speak!
Of course: that’s what the letters stand for : Before Brown, Chaos!

Anybody else remember when Dumblebore pointed out that one of the questioners wasn’t asking what was on his card – when in Teeside. I spluttered my tea across the room, and over the other half – it was just so obvious… and since then…
‘We don’t know what the questioners are going to ask’. Hah!
No they choose them first. Each person at QT is asked to prepare a question and the BBC pick them on their ‘topicality’.
My sister went to one in Cambridge after there was some furore about wounded soldiers being shat on by the NHS and Dannant saying Labour had broken the military contract, and hers was, “In view of Gen Richard Dannant’s comments, is it any wonder that over a third of the mentally ill homeless are ex-servicemen?”
It wasn’t picked as it was not relevant or topical according to Beeb.
‘Clarke gives Brown a Bashing Ear’
Purnell would be brilliant but Labour MPs would never vote for him. He should start up a splinter party with Frank Field and Hazel Blears.
Brilliant idea – split the vote, Labour will never get elected!!

Feeble and transparent attempt to manipulate the betting markets for personal gain…
Well Guido lost a lot of money to Dan Hannan on Labour coming 5th in the South East, so he needs to try to claw some back.
…but he made a lot of money with the emails from Draper on Sunday, I don’t think he’ll be too worried about Hannan having a few quid off him!
I wish my attempts to manipulate the betting markets worked
If you knew the betting markets you’d say nothing and take the opposite position to Fawkes. Clearly though, you don’t.
Nah keep the wee broon christian til next May then Whicker Man him for the fertile good of the economy
Burn him in a huge wicker cock, like the paedophile in Brass Eye
Bit off topic but just saw this quote from Harriet Harperson on the BBC website and it made me chuckle.
“Our obligation is to sort out the economy and protect people and sort out the expenses problem and we will do both these things.”
Says it all really.
I’ve heard that bullshit spin 500 times today !!!
Is there a prize for getting the most brain-washing in one day, if so I claim it ??
All while dressed like a fucking giraffe too .
Impressive Lady for a freak circus maybe.
I believe her implicitly.
I believe her implicitly.
I believe her implicitly.
I believe her implicitly.
I believe her implicitly.
I believe her implicitly.
She promised us we’d get the pension back from Sir Fred too, remember love ?
Oh, fuck it, we’ll just do the economy and expenses stuff – much easier that and the court of public opinion can just go back to sleep.
NEXT !
Wow. So the Labour Party is going to have a crack at being led by another product of public school (Royal Grammar School, Guildford) and Oxbridge (Balliol).
The way results went last night they could elect a cat and it would poll more votes for the PLP than McMental
Purnell is a Tory plant!!
I do hope he says what he wants to do promptly. it is unfair of him to expect me to give up my cushy EU job if I cannot be certain of drawing a handsome salary, sorry I mean serving, a good term as a Minister.
I think he is being very selfish.
Is that the Baroness Kinnock of Bedwetting ??

Kindly re-arrange the following phrase or saying :
OFF FUCK
Geraldine Smith
She is former pupil of Morecambe High School on Dallam Avenue and Lancaster and Morecambe College on Morecambe Road in Lancaster, where she gained a Diploma in Business Studies. Her first campaign was supported by the Communication Workers Union, for whom she was formerly an officer. Prior to becoming an MP she was a Lancaster City Councillor and worked for the Royal Mail from 1980-97. Born in Belfast.
Parliamentary career
After the Labour Party’s poor showing in the local government elections of 4 May 2006 she was linked to a campaign on a timetable for Tony Blair’s departure as Prime Minister and also expressed a preference for Gordon Brown to succeed him. She also found “outrageous” the survival of John Prescott as a government minister following the reshuffle. For this criticism of the Deputy Prime Minister’s behavior, as well as for her defence of the Chinese Cockle Pickers rights in her Morecambe constituency, the right-wing critic Richard Littlejohn described her as a “heroic MP” on the BBC’s Question Time programme on 4 May 2006.
She has said that she believes William Hague will be the next Conservative Prime Minister rather than David Cameron.
Another Labour MP who has never had a proper job and just lived of taxpayers money.
Adam Boulton has just talked of rumours involving James Purnell coming back against Gord!
Boulton talking about it now – as a rumour. Is he a reader?
yes
whos miranda?
Don’t you remember an Inn, Miranda?
Miranda Blair? Tony’s nickname when he was in chambers (apparently). Rumour says he played for both teams. Obviously before his dalliance with the charming Cherie.
We’ve always said that Prescott and Mandy both knew about this. Perhaps that’s why they both stayed in office for so long……..!!
Easy to believe. After all, his taste in women isn’t that good, is it?!!
I’ve Googled in vain so thought I’d ask here. Just seen a pick-up truck in Greenwich, south-east London, full of about six short-haired men wearing brown shirts and brown shorts. (I know about the shorts because one of them got out at the traffic lights.) Are these Combat 18 or neo-nazis? They really creeped me out, seeing them for the first time now after the EU elections. What do they do when wearing their brown togs?
Way to go, nooo Labour, giving comfort to the far far right.
Boy scouts ?
Too old and brutal-looking to be boy scouts.
The militant wing of the Boy Scouts.
I heard, and instantly answered, My Country’s call!
Omaha’s protection team, probably. His immediate was in Lundin today.
Its the Met 5-a-side team (and sub).
Escaped McDonalds enforcers? (“EAT that burger…)
The boiler room went at the chocolate factory
Scoutmasters?
C18 have no fixed uniform. Other groupings do, but I can’t see those members that I’ve met wearing shorts, maybe union jack shorts somewhere like Marbella but not here.
Strippagrams for Mr, sorry, Lord Mandelson?
The bmp are lefties, you pillock.
Greenwich Council wheelie bin spies on overtime ?
Toenails said that this meeting would be identical to all the others.
MPs will clap him in, bang desks, cheer, hang on every honeyed word from Brown’s mouth and walk out content that the world has been fixed – until about Wednesday.
I think he was giving a coded message: nothing to see, move on, just another PLP head in the sand moment.
Make no mistake, the orchestration behind this coup exists inside Brown’s tent not outside.
Without this there would be no conciliation figures able to (at least partially) unite the party after he is gone
The dark horse returns. Not much left of Gordon to stand against.
Like the idea Guido but these bunch of spineless gits stuck in that room with the man who writes books on courage but has non himself won’t let it happen,GE still next year
BBC – Blunkett has told the rebels in the PLP to challenge in the next 24 hrs or put up and shut up
Moo
Does anyone actually pay any attention to David Spunkit or is he part of Gormless’ ‘Z’ list of potential House of Lords’ candidates and substitute Cabinet members ?
Oh good, I’m just sick of Gordon, so need someone else to vent frustration on. Purnell or any other labour candidate will do until they see sense and call the general election.
C4 News on now – Bob Ainsworth, Defence Secretary – this must all be a bad dream – we have an adult pop. of 46m – are there no better candidates? Very depressing.
He looked like a bus man on a day out in the big city.
This is better than any soap opera; sad but true
Sounded like one as well, I do despair.
He might have looked like a bus man on a day out but he sure knows how to “trough”.
he used to work on the nightshift at LDV(Freight Rover). He was in charge of the ‘snatch’ Sherpa line.
Is it true that he is ‘affectionately’ known as Bob Ain’tworth-Atoss ?
I’ll bet the boys in Afghanistan are thrilled.
You know the government could’ve used the LDV factory to make some MRAP vehicles that the army are desperately needing.
Funnily enough the MoD bought an overpriced death-trap called the pinzgauer despite it’s unsuitability.
Whoever wins the election, the MoD needs a thorough cleanout.
On behalf of the people of Coventry, I apologise that we have that twat representing not only us, but not our armed forces.
This is, after all, the man who, as Armed Forces Minister, couldn’t be bothered to attend the RAF homecoming parade last week.
And McTwat promoted him.
[...] Guido is reporting that James Purnell, the minister who resigned when the European and council election polls closed [...]
Alex Hilton on Sky doesn’t look as if the brainwashing worked on him
First find a brain to wash. Houston I think we have a problem here.
“if no credible candidate comes forward by noon tomorrow”
IF?
What the hell is wrong with politicians today? They have no convictions. Elliot Morley and David Chaytor might soon though…
‘They have no convictions.’
- I thought half the Labour Party were due to be done under ‘Operation Ore’. High correlation with those who voted for the Iraq war. Odd that.
still think we will have a general election by xmas – they are too thick too realise that the longer Labour stays in government the worse it will be for them at the polls. Its the economy stupid!
Is that parasite purnell at the meeting because they havent reported this on the Brown Broadcasting Company.
Wonder if Gordon has had Blears snuffed, stuffed and made into a nice little foot-stool. He can have that on his expenses with no grumble from me.
4 so far have said stand down—pmsl
The “another year of salary and expenses” theory for the PLP not to act against McDoom is ok (and may still be proved correct) but politicians are not psychologically driven just by money, otherwise they would all be tycoons. The other factor is status and on that they are hurting badly and may not wish to endure more of that hurt.
If there are 70-100 ZaNuLab MP’s with reasonably big majorities (they will have worked out their own maths) and who are relatively unscathed by the expenses row they may well stick the knife in.
A new leader and an election, regardless of overall outcome, would then give them another four career years at least, plus their self respect and status back, and let’s be clear very likely a fairly easy time of it too, especially with no prospect of the McDoom troubling them on their mobiles.
That or endure maybe 10 months of being called a complete hoon up and down the country and their Dear Leader publicly humiliated almost daily and the same (or worse) as a likely outcome anyway?
If I were a ZNL MP I know what I’d do…
…And they could even do it in secret:
Secret Ballot Requested
Byers now calling the election results “a disgrace”; come on, come on…
Yep, I’m waiting for the re-election count, when the votes are centrally determined as us minions are obviously too stupid to vote for ourselves.
“otherwise they would all be tycoons”. Who are you kidding? Have you ever met Tessa Jowell?
5 MP’s told Brown to go – Clarke, McTaggart, David Cairns, Dr Tom Harris + a 5th.
Sky say Barry Shearman ?
Barry Sheerman
might as well be Barry Manilow for all the good it will do
He done a song about Lord Peter didn’t he.
Your views do not count. It does not matter what you think. At Westminister your views are sought every five years unless Parliament is dissolved by the Prime Minister before hand.
Other than this, you have no right to have your views heard or considered by the executive. You can huff n puff as much as you like but the Prime Minister does wield the power. It’s the hard truth.
You need to understand that their livelihoods are at stake, not yours.
The good news is that this will guarantee a Conservative landslide and destroy Labour for a generation.
The bad news is Brown will haver to go to the IMF for money soon.
That could be a good thing if the inevitable clamp down on gratuitous public spending – child trust funds, 5 a day advertising, translation services to help Russians use the NHS etc etc is then seen as a requirement of the IMF rather than Brown and his creepy supporters trying to make the gullible believe that he would spend (sorry “invest”) forever but evil Tories would starve poor children to death.
But surely he can be forced if there is a vote of no confidence in the government
Werl, no. Yes, if a vote of no confidence succeeds, but given that 1) ZanuLab have a majority in Parliament, 2) the vote of no confidence on Weds will be whipped more than the arse of a Brazilian boyfriend and 3) the Commons benches are full of craven cowards to whom the words “integrity” , “bravery” and “public interest” are as foreign as the concept of a straight expenses claim, no.
You need to understand that their livelihoods are at stake, not yours.
Why people who are paid 3 x national average wage think that they are entitled also to free food (even in the Parliamentary recess), I will never never understand.
If they need food they should get meals on wheels like pensioners
Have some sympathy. Without free food how would they end up looking like the Reet Onnerable Member for Hull East?
“You need to understand that their livelihoods are at stake, not yours”
My livelihood was at stake with the scrapping of the 10p tax, and the introduction of top-up fees, if only I could earn £60,000 as a basic wage!
The elections on Thursday were for the council elections and for the European Parliament and not the Westminster Parliament. So they don’t mean a thing to Brown or the Labour party at Westminster. Their power continues unabated.
Spot on Anon 149 – a system built in and for the Home Service radio genertion. Redundant and anachronistic today, for the WiFi and digital era.
Fivebellies likes her iPods.
PISS OFF
George Foulkes-Pygges needs to be kept away from the media when in his cups.
Clarke has told Brown to stand UP now;
So he can fit the noose properly – he is holding a copy of Mr Pierrepoint’s autobiography and it’s being held open at the photo’s pages by another rebel.
The voters spoke, as one they said
The Labour project now is dead,
Twas such a great joy to behold,
As not one Council did they hold,
CHORUS
Let’s wave the Labour spin goodbye,
The time of their defeat is nigh,
Our hearts are set, our motives clear,
We’ll chuck New Labour on its ear.
Look ’round, they’re in their final days,
Infected with a deep malaise,
No praises are for Gordon sung,
Most people think he should be hung,
CHORUS
And as among themselves they fight,
We watch with thinly-veiled delight;
New Labour’s lies we disavow,
We must must have an Election now.
CHORUS
Now Labour’s time is clearly past,
And we have hope for change at last;
The votes were cast, the message plain,
We want the Tories back again.
CHORUS
The Cabinet are weak and base,
Their minds are fixed on saving face,
They cringe and fawn to Gordon Brown,
Though he’s the one who brought them down.
CHORUS
We want this Government to fall,
We want them out, Brown, Balls and all;
Their chances of survival grim,
This song shall be their parting hymn.
CHORUS
Let’s wave the Labour spin goodbye,
The time of their defeat is nigh,
Our hearts are set, our motives clear,
We’ll chuck New Labour on its ear.
Full marks, Dame Vio!
Obviously not a product of post-Harold Wilson education: you rhymes all rhyme, and your metre all… metricates!
Add a Bar to your Dame’s Order.
Heard that Telegraph are going to ramp up their expenses scandal in order to destabilise the new cabinet. Despite the cowards in the Labour Party giving up on the coup, Brown shouldn’t think it’s over yet.
BTW has anyone been having difficulty getting on to PB lately. Has it crashed?
www2.politicalbetting.com still has a dns problem
Govt dirty tricks?
No one of those things that happen,the gizmo fell over and broke the slaphead spring
Buy The Telegraph like I do.

++++ Breaking News: Gabon leader’s death confirmed ++++++
Editor to reporter: Can we pump this up into a major headline story to divert attention?
Reporter: Not sure. Terrorists not involved apparently. Where is Gabon anyhow?
Surely Gabon SOUNDS like Gordon?
Have they got the right person in the Commons meeting room?!
West Africa. An ex-French dependency and so French speaking.
I’ve been to Libreville, the capital city, and it is one of the biggest shitholes in the world.
Neasden is enough a fact finding for me. The arse of the world

“Decent McDonalds” – oxymoron.
1/3 of French oil comes from Gabon

Genius, man, Genius!
Michael Gambon is dead?
No: Micheal Gammon – he was an old ham, anyway.

Guido, is this true? I’ve just done a sex wee and I’d had to have soiled myself for no reason.
Still no official denial from Purnell?
You peeple wiz you stupid democratik rules. In my Country ve vould haf sorted zis by now – permanently.

yes he would. too good to check, it seems.
Cue muppet theme tune. Best to stick with the BBC in future, much more accurate :-/
I have faith in Guido. Sword of truth etc etc
… the blind shall lead the blind.
[...] More a rumour than a story at this point. [...]
Labour sticks together shock! Shows over, everybody move along….. Roll on next June
GB should , as Mandlebrot suggested, be more true to his inner demons.
For eg, he should have all rebels & nay sayers & unbelievers in his own party taken outside to college green & shot.
Arrest all leaders of opposition parties and relocate to tower pending investigation for contra-policy activity & slandering the great leader.
Third, survey all emails & mobile conversations to root out traitors to New Labour Britain and quietly have them either re-educated or liquidated.
Posters to be put up all over the country with Big Barmy brother’s gruesome mug on them with slogan “The Big Yin Is Watching You ( For Your Own Good )”.
The Robotic Monologue henceforth become the only acceptable form of political dialogue ( eg : “A New Set Of Policies For a New, Fairer, More Modern Britain For All Our People ” thunderous lobotomised ovation .. etc etc… )
Speaking one’s – true – mind will become something so long forgotten that it becomes a literal impossibility.
No-one seems to get that it is GB’s birthright to govern.
For all our people.
From Labourhome:
“Spare Gordon! – written by Frederick James
Please, PLP members, let Gordon Brown fight on.
He should not be allowed the luxury of sneaking out by the back door, invalided out on “medical grounds” or kicked upstairs to the Lords, to let some poor sap carry the can for him at the general election.
I want to see this sagging, bloated sack of putrefaction, this canting hypocrite with his “moral compass”, his “vah-lues” and his “Presbyterian conscience”, this scheming, authoritarian bully to limp on in the office he has debased until your stinking administration exhales its last poisonous breath, every day a torment of thwarted ambition, of starting at shadows and of fear of betrayal, until at long last he can dodge an election no longer and takes most of you down with him to a legendary defeat, as you richly deserve for foisting him on the country, to be remembered forever as the man who destroyed a once-great party.
Don’t give him an easy way out.
See:
http://www.labourhome.org/forum/?p=5656
I couldn’t have put it better myself!
Yes – this corrupt,fraudulent,ignorant,thoughtless,woman bullying,thieving,abusive lump of nothing – the first Prime Minister to be booed by war veterans on the very beaches they stormed 65 yrs ago,this conman,this walter-mitty,this gruesome,ugly and uncharismatic nonentity and most of all;
THIS LIAR
Lets watch him limp on with his criminal stooges – Cameron,refuse to do PMQ,media refuse to attend Press Conferences.
It would make for a better election night, watching the BBC swine-o-meter explode. I can save my November wake fireworks for the 21st century equivelent
My daughter is keen for Gordon to hang on until October. That way she’ll be able to help vote Labour into the Dark Ages.
funny that same here
Looks like it’s over; Twittering suggests tomorrow’s headlines will be:
“Welsh Windbag Saves Scottish Shitbag”
Or something.
The plot is dead and burried. Sky-some woman in a 1960′s outfit. “Want change” I used to get change from a quid on a gallon of petrol in ’78. Maybe they are taking us back in time?
Load of rubbish.
Roll on next June when this bunch of crooks are consigned to the history books.
They’re a disgrace.
These stupid, bloodsucking leeches were not cheering Broon, they were cheering another year of MPs salaries, perks, lifestyle, and fiddles, because they know if they dump Broon now and there’s an election, they will lose. What does an ex labour MP do? Answer: they sign on. By keeping snotty for now, they get to keep their jobs.
But they also ensure that labour, under Broon, will be wiped off the face of the political map when there is an election next year, so it’s something to look forward to, at least.
Ha ha!! BBC: “I was told it (kinnock’s contribution to meeting) was a kinnock masterpiece in how to give a speech…”
Says it all really. The windbag is back.
A Kinnock speech would make a Broon speech seem like a Churchill speech.
Kinnochio – and Brown is Geppetto
Self interest – the Kinnocks have changed gravy trains at Paddington. Goodbye Brussels, hello London.
Why oh why did my parents encourage me to get a proper job?
Troughing’s coming home!
Ahhll riiighht! Ohh yeahhh!!!! Uhuh. I’m all shook up. (c) Lord Kinnock (my wife’s a lady, you know)
Apparently he compared Brown to a bloody prophet. Fuck me they are all mad.
That’s a proFIT. What they’re all continuing to milk from the public in salary and expenses while they piss about pretending to have meetings about emails considering whether they might consult about forming a committee to plan a movement to discuss the feasibility of…
Only 8 spoke out against Brown in the PLP meeting, and kinnock called Brown a prophet.
I was eating when I heard that on C4 news. … Prophet? or Profit?
I guess the second case would be true for the troughers in the HoL’s, now who’d be in there to take advantage of unimpingable troughing oppotunities?
> kinnock called Brown a prophet.
Aye.
The Oooold Testament Prophet McBroon is amongst Ye.
Bare your heads and kiss the bare earth whereupon he walketh for he is exalted of the Lord and big with a Policy Child that shall be Marvellous in our Eyes.
Nail his detractors – & there are many – to the wall of righteousness & let us pray :
Our Father
Whichart in Downing Street
Hallowed be thy name
For yeah his touch they say doth cure leprosy.
And santified are those who touch the hem of his garment.
I’m going to vomit.
Blessed are the cheesemakers.
Fuck em I say
…and the curd-manglers.
…and the whey-strainers.
…and the Rind-hardeners.
yes he’s a prophet all right, Jonah
Sheerman is now back onside, but Byers has told another meeting that he should go.
Jesus how many meetings are there ?
Meetings are metastasising all over the bloody place.
What do we do when faced with a crisis ?
We have another f*rking MEETING…
The Byers meeting is the Progress Meeting on the Go Forth (and multiply) campaign. Not everyone is happy at either meeting; a bit of muttering still going on.
Metastasising eh?
Time for the Brompton mixture methinks.
There is a meeting for those without another meeting to attend, at the south side of the bike shed NOW
I think this might have something to do with Sheerman coming back onside:
http://www.examiner.co.uk/news/local-west-yorkshire-news/2009/06/06/huddersfield-mp-sheerman-called-to-account-by-local-party-members-86081-23804506/
Maybe a certain communities block vote was threatened to be withheld at the next election, ensuring Sheerman lost?
If Clarke and MacTaggart are leading the revolution ,then some cunningly placed pies will see Gordon safely home.
Cry Havoc!
and unleash the lemmings of westminster!
Gordon Brown’s courage has to be admired even if you disagree with him.He’s shown stoic determination which most Scots can relate to.
you confuse the difference between Brave souls in the forlorn hope and the officer who cannot lead sending all those in his charge to their deaths from a position of safety
the analogy is misleading,i was simply making the point that the overwhelming criticism and abuse he has faced is in any view excessive not least the racist references in this blog.It takes a degree of courage to carry on in this overwhelming personally hostile environment.
Er, do you think the Scottish are a different race then?
er, The law in Scotland makes such comments racially aggravated behaviour.S50(1)A of the criminal law consolidation (sc) act 1995
Yes, that’s it, Little Labour Voter, accuse anyone who disagrees with your horrible party or who can see through their lies and deceit of making racist references.
There is not one single thing about Brown that I admire. Courage would involve him putting the country before himself and his ghastly party and giving the people a General Election. Don’t confuse arrogance, delusion, egotism and selfishness as being courageous. He faces anger and he deserves to.
S50 covers police powers of stop and search for offensive weapons. Give me another Act to go on. No, don’t bother; because I won’t.
Racist?
Is Brown black?
Perhaps you mean “xenophobic”?
When I lived in Scotland the law never stopped the fucking Scots continually having a go at the English.
Kindly fuck off back home.
I couldn’t give a toss whether Broon’s a Scottish twat, an English twat, a Welsh twat, an Irish twat or a twat from bloody Jupiter. He’s a twat. Trying to excuse his twattishness as a Scots trait does the brave nation of Scotland no favours at all.
But the piece of shit is ruining our country – don’t give a damn about him – I care for my kids and my country and my job – don’t care if he chokes on a fish bone.
if Neville Chamberlain had this courage you speak of also what then?
Chamberlain at least had the courage to admit to himself he was not wanted.
The man was a bloody moral GIANT next to McBroon.
Seconded
Twas my point
this is not the sort of contribution you can expect you kids to be proud of,assuming they are not already in care
so your critics kids are in care because they hold a different viewpoint?
I could devastate you with my riposte but won’t because I’m a human being
Stoic determination; I’ve seen rabbits doing that too, when caught in headlights.
Psychopaths are always committed to their desires – without any thought of the negative impact they are having anyone else. He has no conscience.
I don’t see how that’s anything to admire.
Gordon Brown’s courage? Oh you’re talking about his book are you? Must be because certainly he’s got no personal courage – he’s just a big bullying feartie from Fife. Gordon’s Mantra ‘It wasnae me, it wasnae me, a big boy did it & ran away’.
“He’s shown stoic determination which most Scots can relate to.”
No we can’t, we hate him, he’s completely hatstand. Anyway he doesn’t like Scots, he’s a Britnat.
You are an idiot. It’s not racism (Scots and English are not races and if they were they would be the same) or xenophobia (Scotland and England are in a nation, Scotland is a quasi-nation within a nation).
And even though it makes no difference (ie an English person could have said this and still be correct) I am Scottish.
Brown, Darling, Martin, Faulks etc are all a disgrace to Scotland.
Apparently, according to the current legal definition of racism, it is. Bonkers, but there it is.
Don’t forget the Myopic Vulture. He’s a disgrace to Blackburn, and the whole country. He’s a bloody self-serving voyeur who watches with his beady little eyes and drips shit on our freedoms and has no more guts than Springtime for Hitler Balls. Heil Cyclops!
Not courage, Hubris.
tom harris put boot in–sky news
its not over till FAT LADY sings
The fat lady has been gagged by self serving MPs who want to hang onto their jobs for another year.
But surely J Smith has fucked off back to her 3rd house?
Welcome to Labour party we will be here until 2010 and then we will disappear forever,we are the wimps that will lead you into the future well until 2010 ,well after we have finished troughing and getting our pensions
Oh dear. The fat lady sings.
I don’t know about you, but I am getting tired of this 648 round boxing match.

Utterly suicidal behaviour from Labour.
With Brown, they’re going down.
Hey, that rhymes
This arranged euphoria for Brown reminds me of the days in Mehico when I wandered into a town square and there were about 5 people watching a prospective el presidente making a speech. As he finished the sound of thunderous applause of thousands filled the square, cheering and clapping erupted over the speakers on either side of him.
Quite startling. My horse nearly bolted.
Spin can be life threatening.
That’s not spin that’s the New Reality.
Get used to it.
quote of the day on BBC
‘the room was filled with an air of reality’
nurse!
Nurses! This is a big one.
Wish it had been Cyclon B
Sorry.
Bad taste.
Let’s hope Merkel gives him a German gift

Realty (No I)
See – I’m still in control of my destiny.
Purnell will be forgotten by morning – or I’m a queer
Ha! Balls on the BBC now.
Loved his introduction. Looked like a panto dame.
Mandelson would prefer to destroy the Labour party than to let an election happen because that might trigger an election and allow the British people a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty.
Mandelson, the Kinnocks and co have moved on from the Labour party – well they set about destroying it. Labour MPs are being played for fools and will be the ones who see their party decimated.
Gordon is safe = Labour are finished.
…and so it was the Labour MPs sealed their fate.
Balls: “Gordon Brown said ‘I will get us through these difficult times’….”
Same old garbage.
Like an ostrich does
Hilarious, Balls denouncing the dark arts. Followed by the sentence, ‘today I met with Lord Mandelson to carry through the necessary reforms’,
Demand loyalty from the juniors more like.
So, any news of Purnell?
It’s all bollocks. Amazed there’s no retraction by now on the blog.
Anyone old enough to remember the days when the odd politician had principles ?
Ah, happy days.
And so the lies flow. Balls blinks rapidly.
‘I wanted to stay at Childrens…’
Where’s George Orwell now we really need him ?
My gramps did him a while ago. He sends love though (hat-tip: Mystic Smeg)
Balls: “The sunday times was 100% wrong on that story” (about balls “going nuclear” over not being promoted to no 11, and having a row with mandlesnake)
That means it was true.
100% wrong is hoon-speak for not wrong; if they mean actually wrong they say “110% wrong”. In which case to you and me that means possibly wrong but depending upon which day of the week it is. Or who they are talking to eg Daily Mirror to its readers says “Gordon is the right man for the job” but to its mates says “Gordon will never win an election”. Hoon-speak, you know it makes sense. Or not.
Sorry. Been away most of the day with drunk Ukip members.
Who EXACTLY is James Purnell and what does he do?
He models seventies fashion, sweetie. Corduroy, paisley, shagpile…..that sort of clobber.
Oh, THAT James Purnell. Looks a bit of a nice boy to me, but he does have
strange eyes – but then again so does Brown Gordon.
Ah well, no NuLab revolt today – can sleep easy in bed tonight.
Fuck me do these MPs think we are going to belive this crap they are spouting on SKY its total bollocks
We’re proles.
We’ll believe anything.
Time for a General Strike.
When are other media sources going to take this up? Not just the blogs.
This is massive news and an epic scoop Guido.
Hate to double post but wouldn’t it be in your enemies interest to try and feed you bullshit to discredit you? Has anyone done this yet?
Sky reported this as a rumour.
It does appear to be just that, at the moment. LabourList have challenged the news. No official word, as I type, though from Purnell.
Incidentally, isn’t he hosting a drinks night tonight?
Watching this Labour coup is like watching the blind leading the blind. I would not have thought Purnell was the right man, but at least, it seems, he has the balls to have a go and attempt put us all out of the misery that is Brown.
Just come in from dinner – all I can think of is
Woooooooooooooooo Hoooooooooooooooo!!!!
You missed an ‘e’ off the end and an ‘n’ off the end there.
Wooooooooooooooooooeeeeeeee Hooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!
Good enough?
Better.
all the same mouthpieces coming out with the same old spin, god this is pathetic when are these labour lot going to use their brain instead of acting like a bunch of teenagers at a gig.
TH just phoned from Westminster Bridge. The traffic noise was loud but the jist of it is…
Mandy and the whips have spent most of the day warning Labour MP’s that the supposed rebellion was not an option. The meeting, which finished a few minutes ago, was a foregone conclusion.
However.
An aide of Mandy’s, a little worse for the drink over his bosses latest victory, let slip the something interesting. Peter’s surprise support of the PM during the mass resignations was part of his new role (as he see’s it) as kingmaker. His intention is to keep Brown as PM until the election, which even he assumes will be a disaster. From the ashes of whats left of New Labour, he intends to put forward Millibrand for the new leader and of course be at his right hand to guide him.
So there we have it.
Both Peter and David’s actions over the last week are laid bare. The PM will be sacrificed at the election and from his demise, a new New Labour will be reborn.
Naturel or by caeserian? Test tube or baster?
The snake will have to be surgically removed before the newborn draws its first breath.
Milliband? The epitome of twerp? Nerdiness personified? Oik supreme? Fuckwit de tutti fuckwits? Banana confused inadequate? Him? Oh, OK, Whatever you say Peter, you know best.
Balls stalled for a full 3 or 4 seconds…
” Does. Not. Compute. Does. Not. Compute…Reboot… – The story was 100% wrong…”
Dispatches C4 – this is the knife. Alistair Darling is refusing to back down on his ‘worst crisis for 60 years’ statement and has given an interview saying he’s only sorry he didn’t say ‘worst crisis for 100 years’. Translation: Gordon made a bog of it, so even if the problem was global, I couldn’t possibly clear up the mess he had made here. Nick Cohen confirms that Gordon immediately authorized spins against Darling, calling him ‘lightweight’.
Yes
And now brown does not speak to darling …and they have been “friends” for 30 years…
How the fuck can they govern without another massive Car Crash ?
Jim Sheridan MP blaming the expenses scandal for Gordon’s woes. Still trotting out the line posted on the bunker noticeboard today.
Browns Speech just recorded at the PLP
I thought this was ‘dance of the comedian’ not that t**t giving us ‘Thoughts of Comrade Gordon’. Thank God I hadn’t put my earphones on!
Completely and utterly bonkers. Where did he find that smile from? It’s the porn star’s pussy smile everyone is talking about.
Never mind the smile – what IS that weird thing he does with his mouth (drop jaw, stick tongue into bottom lip). The man is unwell.
All the MP’s are out like a rash on tv,pushing the button on the highest spin cycle you can get,spineless,spinning gits
We are watching a party busily engauged in heaping up its own funeral pyre!
The delusion levels are at record high levels. lets hope the get the kicking they so richly deserve at the election. Labour should have less MPs than the Lib Dums after the next election (with luck)
One of the things that this non-revolt shows is the Blair without Mandelson is a useless rubber air bag..as we always knew…
And the Blairites are an even more useless bunch of whining idiots being led to disaster by Dirty Tricks in person…without ONE of them having the cojones to stand…
Let me cut through the vitriol and map out the future for you. Over the next 12 months the mind boggling sums we have magically created will boost the economy into apparent recovery.
It’s just a case of timing the election and the glorious leader will be re-elected as a national hero.
Another 5 years will allow us to get all dissenters on the DNA database and all that will stand between us and our thousand year Reich will be a few dawn raids.
Keep bleating suckers!
GUIDO HAS BEEN TANGOED !!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ah Guido, but have you?
The long-game is the best game…
Fucking delicious!
Could Labour split?
that’s a thought mmm.
lab iamajor and Lab iaminor
What…. again??????
Social Democrats???????
NuBritLabs and KipperLabs?
Muppetlabs and Muppeter-labs?
Richlabs and Richerlabs.
lol Jon Sopel looks to camera in ‘WTF?’ moment
Sky have been interviewing the ZL deadbeats after the PLP meeting:
(I paraphrase)
“Snotty is safe”
“There will be no contest”
“We should unite behind the Dear Leader”
“Gordo will change his ways” (!!!!!)
Dear god most of them actually believe the Snotty will change and that they CAN win the next election!
Blinky in particular was hilarious.
The worry is that they believe their own hype.
I’ll have whatever it is they have been smoking.
that was ‘the air of reality in the room’ no doubt, good stuff, everyone inhaled
How many fucking relaunches and changes is that now, the party members are asses.
Gordon will change his ways?
That’s what most criminals say just before their probation officers let them out after having done the risk assessment. Then they go out and murder the night they get out.
Byers on SKy now
yeah, but Star Trek is on Virgin
Gordon spoke passionately and with himilty. I want his babies
I s’ppose you mean ‘humility’? Not Gordon – unless Mandelsnake had doubled his medication. Gordon wouldn’t recognise ‘humility’ if it came up & smacked him in the gob.
Snotty thinks ‘humility’ is that large bone in your arm
Why, fancy a snack or something?
GB with his IR35 destroyed a perfectly good business for me. I have waited nearly ten years to see this educated idiot broken on the wheel of his own delusions. Please do not dispense with him until he has been despatched drooling in a strait jacket to a place of safety without televisions and mobile phones. Only downside is that Mandelson is now Lord High Protector of England…verily in our long history you could not make this up…the stuff of Ph.D thesis to come….’V’ was prescient..life imitates art, wheres Stephen Fry when you need him…
Same here. They used the IR35 to destroy the independent consultants/contractors. It was the banking industry using it for permanent employees that caused the issue. The problem was that they did not understand how some of the high tech industries worked. No one company could afford a full design team, so we used to bob about between them.
No engineer could work under a system that continually threatened, for ever, the reclaiming of the tax. We were engineers, not lawyers. HMRC would not pre-authorise contracts.
After a few years abroad I returned to find the whole team abandoned, the agent had move onto other areas. The design of huge projects was therefore impossible in this country and they went abroad. It can not be remade the experience was lost overseas also.
Blair/Brown killed my industry. That is why I refuse to make a profit in this country.
Who ever needs Stephen Fry: ever?
It takes 5 years to build a company worth having. It takes 10 years to become truly profitable. Been part of 2 overseas start ups, so far, both profitable.
It takes 1 day to destroy it.
The UK are masters of the later.
(RIP LDV another destroyed business)
LDV goes down and quite a few component suppliers go down soon after.
Business Secretary? You wouldn’t trust the twat to file a memo, would you.
Anyone that can talk that much, and make no contribution, would be out of the door the first day. He would be good in a old peoples home reassuring the infirm. But contributing to a future industry: NO.
LDV we drive a lexus to the Apt and our country pile in Brentford
Dark Lord Mandlebrot was concerned with higher matters other than the mundanity of the livelihoods of hard-working families. Like saving his foreskin for instance.
LDV is a going concern, unlike Northern Rock, which needs a one off helping hand to see it through an artificially induced recession.
If Labour let this one go while trying to save their own worthless, scrawny necks, then they truly are a bunch of criminal shysters.
political betting.com have picked up this thread,my life already,is nothing sacred
Just watching Byers pleading for a saviour. Is Purnell going to swing in on jungle twine with his pants on outside his trousers?
Bang! Doh – it worked on the test corpse
so if purnell’s standing we have to assume tony blair is advising him?
Labour MPs put off P45s shock!
Stephen Byers now calling for Brown to stand down.
Byers made a good speech, it will go nowhere, Labour civil war however is on. This aint going to be pretty.
Come on Telegraph, slaughter the new cabinet on expenses.
That should be easy to do, there’s Hain and a Kinnock in the Cabinet!!!
AYe got to get NuLabor back on the rails.
Oh – it ain’t happening then. Ah well. Just switched to Dispatches and Mandy saying ‘yohurt and a banana’ (for what reason? Anyone watching?). Disturbodreams tonight, then.
The Labour is going to implode so much it will make the Tory disintegration after Major look like a picnic.
There is a serious open rift there and its going to be evil.
The Labour should all resign en mass as mp’s or go independent and force huge by elections robbing the majority of Labour.
No they wont. Labour MPs not as rich as Tories, they need their jobs and expenses
Yes, they’re terribly poor. When I think of poor Sean Woodward and his family huddled around a candle stub trying to keep warm… it fair makes me well up with emotion it does… sniff…
C4 Dispatches, Brown put it to Mandleson “over a bit of banana”
Oh (see my comment above) – what the fuck was he on about?
You know – ‘a bit of banana’ wink wink … ?
Mandy polluting the morals of clean living presbyter boy …
Don’t make it worse, ta.
Mandy was getting his Brazilian waxed at the time
SMASH !!!
Ooopss.. Look, what is that on the floor ???
It’s Guido’s credibility…
You have to kiss a lot of frogs to find a prince.
He-haw. He-haw he-haw.
Carla Bruni kissed one and it only turned out to be a PResident!
Hardly. It was clearly defined as unconfirmed. The worst you can say is “hair trigger”.
This is a gossip blog, not the hidden Gospel.
You seem to think you have something good to tell us,so tell us why ?
But please remind yourself of Guido’s bannerline, plots,rumours and conspiracy.
“SMASH !!!
Ooopss.. Look, what is that on the floor ???”"
that is your brains you fucking cretin after the great thick as thieves has caved your skull in (metaphorically speaking, ofcourse).

Hold on. If you think tat is talking gibberish then why the hell are you responding to him?
You idiot.
That means you are the one with shit for brains, surely?
It isn’t Guido’s credibility, it’s someones vulnerability.
Guido has struck a nerve and someone is getting annoyed, hence the silly games.
On the right track Guido; keep digging, keep stirring.
Straw parroting party line..Gordon is great, best man for the job, victim of circumstances, has extraordinary energy and focus yawn yawn
If Brown has any sense then he should encourage this…
Purnell is unlikely to get the necessary support to unseat Brown in a leadership election so all Brown has to do is see off Purnell (Which shouldn’t be difficult with Nick Brown’s dirty tricks brigade…aka the whip’s office!) and he then has a mandate from the PLP to carry on until the General Election.
Brown is happy because his position is strengthened and Cameron is happy because Brown remains in place and thereby weakens Labour in the run up to the General Election…
The only problem with the above analysis is that in the next 12 months Brown will completely fuck up the country…this has just been the warm up! Not a comforting thought but then again the comedy value of Jonah Brown bollacking it up right royally for 12 more months does have some merits.
(Idle thought- Could the Labour Party not make a DVD of Brown’s gaffes and sell it to raise moeny to pay off the overdraft?)
Bugger…spelt money wrong on the last line!
Brown’s scorched earth policy will really come into play now. He knows he has a year, tops, to fuck the country up as badly as possible for the incoming tories. And it is a job he will apply himself to with vigour.
What about us?
We’re on standby.
It’s not about you.
Oh it is , it is a bugger ! You have my sympathy!
A Long Time Ago In a Galaxy Far Far Away….
In the last episode : Our Wee Honest Presbyterian Hero Gordy McBroon , in desperation, called in the Dark Jedi Lord of the Velvet Purple Sofa to salvage his troubled career – foretold by his father – as Right Good Master of the Universe.
Believing he was strong enough to use The Dark Lord’s Powers only for Good, Gordy failed to notice he was , as time went by, wearing more & more velvet suits & using rather too much rouge.
At the first PM’s question time post -crisis, Gordy stood at the dispatch box and parried Cameron’s probing questions with his new catch phrase “Oooh! You BITCH !!”
And the amazing thing was, the British public LOVED their new camp PM, and he was massively re-elected & ruled happily ever after, the tears in his eyes being not so much due to sorrow as to Mandy right arm up his backside.
Now read on….
i think guido is a pretty cool guy. eh gets punked and doesnt afraid of anything.
speak english boy
i think ian dales is a pretty cool guy. eh is a bummer and doesnt afraid of anything.
“I know what you’re thinking. “Did he post six rumours or only five?” Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is order-order.com, the most powerful hand-blog in the world, and would blow your career clean off, you’ve got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, Purnell?”
Guido,
Well done on the rapid retraction – Labour could learn a trick or two from you.
Stephen Byers has called for Gordon Brown to resign says BBC
One man.
One deranged, unhinged, unelected arrogant, self righteous, pompous dictator holds the whole of britain and its population captive and what do the labour party do?
They get back in line to suck his midget nob.
Truly the lowest of the fuckng low are this lot.
They have zero in the way of any morals, any unity or any courage at all.
Theyre traitors to the people of this country.
Are we really going to stand by while that pack of self interested bastards continue to dictate terms to us?
Ive had a fucking NUFF!
Armed with my bottle of Harpic Harman, i am
ready to do battle with the stains of brown!
I shall rid the outer rim of klingons and limescale, seek out the darkest recesses of the U Bend and shine the searchlight of cleanliness across its surface!
(fuck me this stuff is BRILL!)
Only the true cleaning power of NEW! Harpic Harman will complete the disinfection of a badly soiled parliamentary democracy!
Brothers, take up thine arms and follow me, to battle!
Wiping out Brown stains as we go, we will clean up the expenses system!
LOL WUT?
Isaac of York has kindly given me a bog brush – lead the way!!
Are you clean round the bend?
Mandy said he was offered a return to government when The Gorgon “sprung it on me over a couple of sanwhiches a yoghurt & a banana”. The mind boggles. Must have been a bit mucky.
This contribution has made me feel physically sick. Do you think there was a lot of yoghurt?
Well, i think it’s quite plain that GB has become Mandy’s sex slave in return for certain political favours.
Think of the orgiastic possibilities when the buttoned up Son of The Manse (think Thomas Carlyle) finally discovers his Oscar Wilde side …
…and, even as I write, Leonard Bumstone is re-writing the great Drama of ‘Mandio & Gordolet’ as ‘BACKSIDE STORY!’
Those were salami sandwiches, that was no banana and the yoghurt was very salty.
Well they say pigs love rolling around in muck!!
Despatches on C4 now is good.
Crash Gordon
Guido, a lesson the rest of us have already learned. never believe anything you are told by anyone involved in politics.
Just seen a succession of sleazeballs, sycophants and spineless non-entities from the PLP do the rounds on Sky News. Ed Balls has to be worst of the lot in my opinion.
I might have to consider moving abroad if the Tories don’t have this rabble out at the next election, as I hate to imagine what the UK would be like by 2015 otherwise.
Now is the time like never before for all decent, ordinary and right-thinking people to get their application forms in to join whatever political party in their own or nearby constituencies that came second place to a Labour MP at the last general election, and then get very active in those local parties.
I certainly intend to get involved now in my local district. Am very motivated indeed.
Let’s mobilise an “anything but labour” massive turnout. The reward at seeing all those smug Labour faces turn to dust in June 2010 will be priceless. Let’s watch them squirm as interviewer after interviewer asks the by then ex-MP’s the same question – :
- “Is Gordon still the RIGHT man for the job?”!!!!!
Big Ben was striking as he was grovelling on. I wondered if he hadn’t stopped by the final chime whether his dignity would turn into a pumpkin.
His dignity isn’t big enough for a pumpkin. A rolled oat maybe.
If we don’t get them out in 2010 I’m on the first banana boat out of here.
I agree. We’ve stood by while they pissed away our future for too long, you won’t have the excuse of not having time, you’ll be out of a job, no-one’s job is safe now.
Send those links, argue the toss, if they turn up at your kids’ school tell your kids to challenge them, if they turn up at your factory protest at them, if they turn up at your hospital spit at them and make sure the MSM captures every second. Complain at every instance of BBC bias you notice.
We must make every one of them wish they’d never been elected during their final months of government.
“if they turn up at your kids’ school tell your kids to challenge them, if they turn up at your factory protest at them, if they turn up at your hospital spit at them and make sure the MSM captures every second.”
If they turn up at my Jobcentre I’ll piss myself laughing.
It’s probably true, but maybe Guido is better to leave some things quiet, to give them maximum effect?
In the long run, it’s worth it, surely?
kinnock calling gordon brown a prophet
WELL ALL-RIGHT
Are you sure he didn’t say “Expecting to make a fat profit”?
Piss be upon him.
Yeah, a prophet of fucking mcdoom
Michael Caine declared that 50% of good acting was being able not to blink when talking… ” ’cause NO ONE blinks ‘in real life’ when they’re talking”… except when they’re lying.
Is it me – or were every interviewed MP coming out the meeting in a total fit of multiple blinking? A couple of dodgy bints (whip + gorm) looked they were about to rise heavenwards, they were fluttering so much. Embarrassing and yet… revealing.
Am I alone?
No, you’re quite right – a number seem to have developed facial tics.
Including Darling being interviewed on Channel 4 Dispatches earlier.
I thought he looked weird – almost as though he is on anti depressants or some other medication. They’re probably all taking prozac to help them through ‘these difficult times’.
They were the only part of Glenys Kinnock’s botoxed face that still worked last night on Sky… and she didn’t start circuit blinking until Francois got his boot in. Stupid old bint should fuck off, it’s not going to be a cushy number like Europe.
think i’ll have a go in the morning……. tally ho.
If this lot haven’t got the self respect to stand up for themselves, there’s no chance they’ll stand up for the country
I really hope Purnell has a go, it would be really great to see someone with some with some balls in the Labour Party, and doing it for the good of the party. Even if he gets fried, it would open the door a bit which would do the party so much good.
How can a political party of such size and passion be turned into a bunch of spineless floating jellyfish, by the work of one man, Peter Rumsfeldt Mandelson…
Come on Labour, pump some life back into your party for God sake. This is what and why politics is about, and you only have one life here. Seize this time, and make a difference, James..
Your shouting against the wind,the shout might be heard by a couple but the rest are deaf to the public cries.
yes, you are sadly, but absolutely right.
I reckon Mandelson – the unholy spirit of the Labour project – is more of a Cheney rather than Rumsfeld .
Looks like Scotty had saved the Enterprise again (but I always wondered why it was only him they gave a red jumper to wear).
There’s a lot of sharp parts in his warp drive?
On Dispatches “Crash Gordon” – Barry Sheerman has just said of James Purnell resigning “He was so brave. He was like someone going over the edge of the boat and running onto the beaches before any one else. Very brave”
What a moron. If there was one word that could never be used about this craven bunch, it is “brave”.
Brave these bastards wouldn’t last an hour on the parade ground
Such is life Guido. Some you win, some you lose. Shame though. Could have a good one. Well done on the speedy retraction.
Guido? Wrong?
I think not. Guido has money on it. You’d lengthen the odds if you could, wouldn’t you?
The phone rang later that morning. It was Lord Mandelson.
“James. Gordon and I were wondering if you could do us a little favour?”
I asked what it was.
“Well, look James, things are going to get a little sticky and we’d rather like a rising star like yourself to resign and lay a false trail for the yapping dogs”.
I gulped. My leader needed me.
“Yes, what we were thinking is that you resign – don’t worry about the money, we’re good for any losses you may incur – make a real fuss, write a condemning letter and then once all the electoral nastiness is done away with, stand against Gordon”
“Stand against Gordon?”
“Yeeessss James. Of course he’ll win, we’ll see to that, then he’ll have a mandate you see. And as a show of Unity Gordon will chuck Darling overboard and invite you to be Chancellor. It’s a long winded way of promotion but we’d all be so terribly grateful.”
I put the phone down and watched as my resignation letter popped into my inbox.
It was ccd to The Times and The Sun.
Destiny….
Very good! Spot on.
Anyone just see Mandy on the Dispatches programme? The man is pure deceit
Apparently McBride was “underemployed” while working in Brown’s department and the smear attempts were a consequence of him having too much time on his hands and not enough to do!
Pheeeeeeeeuuuww!!
Tom Harris blog updated
http://www.tomharris.org.uk/
Like this isn’t connected to the fact that the SNP polled higher than Labour in his ward – he knows he’s on his way out.
What is the actual status of this Guido? Was this source a complete liar, or was the timing for him standing against Gordon wrong?
Please illuminate.
Urban Dictionary entry for “Gordon Brown” is most interesting:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=gordon%20brown
> He was like someone going over the edge of the boat and running onto the beaches before any one else. Very brave
The definition of ‘bravery’ must have changed over the last 60 years.
Taking the risk of getting your balls blown off by a shoe-mine used to be ” bravery.”
Now “bravery” is risking your freaking salary & a harsh glance from Mandelson. ( oo the pain ).
This happy band….
Was that Obama beach ??
alas we are now the townspeople of Hamelin watching the strangely merry and yet tragic parade of wee little labour nippers marching along down the streets, out of town and into the mountain.
In a years time how we will mourn these mindless babes and infants and how desolate our days will be.
Guido my man, coul ye cheere us all up with an olde skoole party in say 12 months?
todays missing letter is ‘d’
… and today’s missing punctuation is ‘ ‘ ‘.
i bow to your political savvy
Well it ain’t over yet. Byers and Clarke both told him to go – to his face. Reid has in private etc, etc. This will rumble on, destroying Labour. Why on earth do these clowns believe they can reverse public hatred in the few short months they have left? The worm has turned.
Any chance of ‘unity’? I don’t think so. They’ve merely gone underground.
Stepney, you may have a rather good uncanny point that few of us have thought of before that Purnell may well have been a red herring.
I have often wondered whether John Redwood’s “challenge” for the Tory Leadership in June 1995 was real or not, or a very clever plan to unnerve Portillo and Heseltine from standing (or flush them out perhaps!).
Possibly, we shall not know for many years what the truth is in both cases, but if Purnell returns to the Cabinet before the next election, then I think you may well turn out to be correct.
Don’t forget that John Redwood is now in the Shadow Cabinet and tipped for a Cabinet post once again should the Tories be successful next year!
Does anyone else think that this hoax bears the sticky fingerprints of a certain journalist whose nose Guido tweaked earlier today?
About 50 plod are on their way to search his garage
In Live magazine yesterday (sunday mail) Piers Morgan talks about the phone call he received from GB on sunday 31 May while he was watching BGT final back. GB says (in a jocular fashion) how does piers morgan get more and more sucessful as GB is getting less sucessful? Pm apologises (also jocular) to GB. Susan Boyle was admitted to Priory later that evening. Did GB then phone again to find out how she was or was it just one phone call spun to maximum effect? Not hugely important – although GB made a huge thing of it – but while we have nothing better to do let us ponder on a prime minister who is phoning media celebrities apparently twice in one weekend. I suppose he had nothing better to do, either.
It merely shows Brown up for the vacuous twerp that he is.
Shame – thought at least one of them might have had the guts to stand up for the country, but it seems not.
That’s honourable labour members for you.
Guido is bang on the money. He is shorting Purnell and will be very rich at 12:01 tomorrow.
Look. And learn.
Of stand will Purnell fiction work was it
C4 Dispatches was OK but not much new or enlightening there. But the one thing it did nail was that Gordon Brown’s reputation as Chancellor is deserved – HE WAS LUCKY, HIS LUCK RAN OUT AND HIS CHICKENS ARE COMING HOME TO ROOST. In my time I have have met so many people, in business mainly, who are blessed by a stroke of luck at a crucial moment in their lives which brings them success, fame, riches. Almost invariably this causes them to believe they have supernormal abilities which can be replicated in any situation, and almost invariably it leads to disaster. Hubris to nemesis to catharsis – it’s the human tragedy.
Alan Sugar?
The Labour Party ??
You name it – it is universal. One of the best insights I have read into human behaviour was from a person who had trained as a hypnotist – I forget the name. He had been let in on the dark secret of hypnotism – why it works with a large number of people (but not all). It works not because people actually go into some trance or subconcious state, but because the bulk of humanity are idiots, suggestible fools incapable of rational thought except when exercised in hidnsight to justify random actions, and desperately compelled to comply when instructed with sufficient authority. It explains a lot – it explains why those in holes keep digging and those at the abyss turn their heads before leaping.
It explains why Alan Shearah is manager of Noocassel Yoonited.
Final word , honey ???
Someone pay my taxi-fare an stand me a couple of pints an I’ll show ya how to bury these fuckers x .
It ain’t rocket-science .
Yawwwn E x .
Liked the scoop, Guido –
What has probably happened is that Purnell may get cold feet now that you have announced it.
Time for the Labour Party and it’s lemmings to go!
Thing is I’m thinking, why does Gordon need to go.
1) He’s fixed the rules so he can’t be ousted.
2) He’s printing money like nobody’s business, which will enable the property market to rise again.
As long as property is on the up he’s bound to get a better share of the vote in 12 months time. Probably not enough to win, but the party will do OK.
Ok, I admit it: I am a nonce and I had sex with a dachshund ( and he was a filthy lying racist and benefit cheat). LIAR!
With a dachshund!!
How low can you stoop??
boom, boom
HINT:
No capitals, the idiot can’t use the shift key.
No no anticitizen, thick as thieves uses lower case for a reason.
The fact that you are too stupid to realise what that reason is matters not.
526, don’t steal or you will go to hell.
If you were punked,and i say if,it just shows how much you get up their nose
One thing is certain – Purnell is too ambitious to stand idly by and do feck all. His exit was very calculated, and ultimately his calculations will be proved right. He is well positioned to take full benefit from the inevitable fallout when Crash Gordon finally has one crash too many.
Perhaps now is the time to buy property, and or shares in stuff like banks or property REITs…
Gordo realistically wont be going anywhere for 12 months, and him and Mandy will be throwing printed money at absolutely everything to get the economy back on track to try and buy re-election. Time to empty the piggy bank and things aint never been so cheap me old muckers…
Amen to that brother. The socialists have opened the till of heaven, and so it begins.
What should I buy, bank stock you reckon.. I’ve been thinking that the socialist’s might even overcook the banks accounts over next 12 months, I would bet banks will be a booming come next May!!!!
GnatWest perhaps?????
Yes Sir, the Scottish (sweaty sock) banks, will be looking the like the dogs b$ll$cks come May next year.
Fill your boots oldtimer!!!!
Oh yes, spread your dough around all the Scottish banks now, cash in on the run up to the election. We might not be able to get the cnut out, but we can bite sweetly into the fruit of his Monkey Business. Amen my brothers!!
Oh yes, we can write ourselves a fat socialist party cheque to ourselves. And then FukOff to France, after the General Election. Who cares who has to pay for it after then….
The games afoot…
Yes, champagne will be served come July 10 Chez moi. All invited.
In a years time there will be plenty of cheap decent properties in Tuscany, not just the Dordogne…..
Bring it on Commie MFss..Keep Brown in, Keep Brown in, Keep Brown in..
Seriously though, is this not a great time to be alive. [opens online share dealing account, and reaches for credit card, sips a nice glass of Rioja]!!!! eh eh eh???
Who writes this rubbish?
HSBCs dividend pays more than any of their interest bearing accounts…
Who “punked” you?
Some half cut champagne socialist having some jolly old fun with Purnell’s cellphone.
Have they forgotten the Class War is not won, these Armani clad bolsheviks?
Telegraph says Purnell has an eye on life after politics. Doesn’t sound like he’s very interested any more. Unless it’s a freudian slip and they meant Hutton – but I think not.
Yeah, but I bet the story will run that he was encouraged to stand by friends and colleagues. “Duty to the party I love… blah… blah… blah… owe it to the country… yada… yada… yada…” (cont page 94)
The Telegraph is Downing Street’s mouthpiece.
That’s spin / smear.
Not guilty
Labour MPs are mainly a bunch of disgusting cowards led by a printer throwing, psychotic bully. The only time they did summon up spunk was to ditch Blair, their best electoral asset. Losers. Then so many of them let the Prime Mentalist bully them into signing his nomination papers that he was appointed unopposed. This is indeed a deranged thug who in public likes to act Ghandi as best he can. And when really getting the drubbing so richly deserved, he displays neither Ghandi like humility nor Churchillian indomitability. Just a veritable, cowardly disgust who nobody of any persuasion can take seriously.
And where are the police to investigate his expenses? Are they just part of the McMental Empire?
He’ll be having the best wank he’s had for a wee long while tonight.
Lets find a new thread, this one is full

Fightback number 2,135: re-launch number 4,200
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article6458736.ece
Aha! That’s where Guido’s Zanu-trolls went.
Our parliamentary system guarantees that we are not citizens but remain subjects under an unelected dictatorship merely punctuated by General Elections.
Discuss.
I chose my job. I chose where to work and where to live. I chose to travel half the world and no fucker could say I could not. I chose how my child should be educated and where. I choose which newspaper and which books I should read and which blog I should respond to, all without fear of the midnight knock on the door by oiks with rubber truncheons.
Socialists left to their devices would stop all that. As would fascists, for they are the same breed.
For that reason I hate both extreme left and right for they both would dictate how I live and think.
And socialists would be left to their devices all the more by any erosion of parliamentary sovereignty. As it is, it’s bad enough having a parliament in the elections for which plebs get to vote, with the result of periodic labour majorities. It would be worse still if even that check on the plebs, and believe me even a parliament with a labour majority is such a check, were to be removed. You would then have the plebs recalling any MP who did not vote for even higher taxes than the ones we have now, and you would have the plebs confiscating private property in a referendum every night. That would be the tyranny of the popular majority utterly undiluted and freed of any restraint. Nothing would be safe. Any parliament, even this, would be better.
QUESTION: Am I being too cynical in suggesting that said unelected dictator would artificially boost the economy of that country ahead of each of the General Elections in order to ensure that he and his apparatchiks remained in power ?
When the dictator was eventually deposed he would leave a gigantic mountain of debt behind for the next government and claim they were a Party who would only cut those debts ??
Yes.
Another 50 Trillion here mate; where do you want it?
I hope you realise that, being good Old-Noo-Old-BoringLiars, they are all carefully watching their units of alchohol and drinking low/no-alchy drinks.
Good boys and girls
562 you are a communist who wants all property to be under the direct control of a popular majority. Take your lunacy to the communist party.
The “chance” for the people to elect our president might be nice. The ability to dismiss a useless cycloptic bogie eating jock would be nice.
Hardly think this make me a communist. I’m only trying to introduce a little power to the people. Is that anarchy?
Yes it is anarchy and communism. Recall of MPs would lead to Labour ones being sacked by their pleb voters for not stealing enough of my property.
I believe in the monarchy, and in the Queen being head of state. She chooses the Prime Minister, for better or for worse. In the long term, the system is better for private property than any other.
I even prefer being ruled by the corrupt, the grasping and sometimes the mad, to having my property subjected to the direct whim of a pleb dominated majority. Even a labour elite has more respect for private property than they would.
The only respect for private property that these labour scum have is for your private property. To take it from you in any respect.
The Labour Government DOES respect private property more than their rank and file members do. Direct voting by the housing estate scum, at any moment they chose, on your money would be far worse than rule by parliament, even with a labour majority.
Cameron will be in charge in a year’s time, and then private property will be secure for the next few years, unless he were mad enough to let the general public vote directly on it whenever and as often as they chose.
Harris. Brown could lose us the next election.
Charles Clarke Tells Brown To Step Down
http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Politics/Prime-Minister-Gordon-Brown-Is-Told-To-Step-Down-By-Ex-Home-Secretary-Charles-Clarke/Article/200906215298375?lpos=Politics_First_Poilitics_Article_Teaser_Regi_0&lid=ARTICLE_15298375_Prime_Minister_Gordon_Brown_Is_Told_To_Step_Down_By_Ex-Home_Secretary_Charles_Clarke
Whenever an MP is convicted of a criminal offence they should automatically lose their seats. However the electorate should NOT be allowed to take the initiative. I would OPPOSE recall of MPs by their constituents, referenda and direct democracy, because this would put the wealth of the country, which is currently owned predominantly by the elite where it belongs, under the direct control and effectively the ownership of the jealous majority who never vote Conservative. Giving the plebs a vote in regular parliamentary elections jeapordises your property as it is, without taking it to the next level, where their jealousy would not be moderated by Labour MPs deradicalised by comfortable salaries.
Wow, you have the right wing tendencies of a Roman Catholic backed Norman Invasion.
Fuck off!
So you are a communist.
Would you want all the housing estate chav plebs to be given something approaching or actually constituting a direct vote over your property? Even if the majority chose to let you keep your property, effectively they would still be the ultimately owners, and you would only have the stewardship of it on license. Many could not tolerate such a diminution of their status as property owners and would leave the country.Margaret Thatcher believed in the sovereignty of parliament. Do you think she could have driven through her essential reforms if Tory MPs in marginal constituencies would have been subject to recall at any moment? No wonder the left, outside parliament at any rate, would love the idea of recall so much, or of direct referenda in which they could severely curtail even those property rights that survive under nokiaGBh, if not abolish them completely.
They had Protestants in 1066? I’m fucking confused now.
Time to brush up, Doc Mick !
I know King Harold said, “Oi! Watch what you’re doin’ with that bow and arrer – you’ll put someone’s eye out!”. But I thought he was a Catholic anyway.
The only reform I would support would be the disfranchisement of all but the super wealthy.
Why the super wealthy? Why not the super intelligent like wot I is?
Only the super wealthy can be sufficiently depended upon to protect private property. Parliamentary sovereignty, and comfortable parliamentary salaries, affords some kind of imperfect approximation to that ideal. My property is safer under any government securely entrenched for four or five years, YES EVEN THIS LABOUR ONE, than in any system in which parliament is not absolutely sovereign. The last thing anyone with anything can want is a system in which the plebs can recall MPs who do not support sufficiently high taxes, or worse still, a system in which the plebs themselves get to vote directly on other people’s property, perhaps whenever they feel like it.
For Christs sake,Sky headline is Brown fights back,reporter could hardly contain her joy.Apparantly its the speech of his life.
What a load of fucking bollocks!!!!
He’s the Rocky Balboa of British politics
Tessa Jowell was on the news outside Parliament having multiple orgasms . She said the atmosphere was ‘electric’ and she was clearly very excited. God, she’s such a pseudo luvvie.
electric+multiple orgasms=dildo.
On C4 dispatches she talked about being brought up in Aberdeen. Is therre anybosy in the cabinet who isn’t North British?
Heavyweight Intellectual – all spin.
I’ll ask again:
Has anyone EVER heard him say ANYTHING remotely intellectual or impressive ?
Anything, irrespective of the venue or detail ?
Memorable for subject or oratory ?
Anything at all ?
He’s never said or done anything impressive in his whole life. Nothing.
Not quite true – he did get Labour mauled in 2 elections in a week. That is impressive.
Toenails was truly delighted on the Beeb. He finished his piece by saying people have had enough of the HoC, and that hopefully there will be new headline subjects from now on.
Jesus, the patronising bastard – let’s all get back to Big Brother shall we and let the grown-ups get on with the job? No fucking way.
In his Euphoria he has probably forgotten The Telegraph have been taking a breather…..
He’s a fascist. “Had enough of the HoC”? have we?
My god they don’t understand the RAGE they inspire. I’ll not pay the BBC license fee, I’ll not pay the council tax, I’ll not pay my car tax and register everything as SORN. I will sign on tomorrow and bleed every fucking penny I can from this dictatorship and as I’ll have time on my hands I’ll pester my £100k GP every time I catch a cold. I’ll waste police time reporting fake crimes, I’ll slash every chair/bus/train seat I come across.
Apparently Gordon told the Meeting that he was going to change! And they believed him! Anyone heard of leopards?
Tosser can’t even change his socks without tucking his trouser leg in one of them.
Pillock.
They’re the turkeys who didn’t vote for Christmas, not realising that it comes round once a year anyway….dumb fucks.
Christmas (X)
What a bunch of spineless numpties, more interested in their pay checks than the country.
I mean the results speak for themselves – Worst result in Wales for 90 years !!
If that doesn’t tell them something then what will ?
Oh well folks, let’s sit back and watch him destroy the Labour party over the next 12 months.
And the country.
Brown staying in charge for another year will damage the country, but it should absolutely destroy the Labour Party. So, all in all, quite a result.
Probaly a good trade off.
Now that Holocaust-denier Nick Griffin has been sent by electors to the European Parliament, we are pwned by the President of Iran. So no loss of moral authority there.

Yeah, but look at what happened to von Stauffenberg when he took him at his word.
We need tanks in Downing St. An English Uprising is required.
I wish I could emigrate.
They’ll never give you a passport unless you change your name!
Preferably to something like mohammed mohammad
My husband and i would never emigrate but occasionally we venture outside of Westminster to the western area of Brentford to jape at the jolly natives
Jape off.
I’m thinking about emigrating to Morocco.

Most PM’s will go to bed and reflect on an upcoming State visit, a tricky vote next month, a reshuffle next year or even an election in the next few years.
Others worry it will be a ‘binbag’ job next morning. (heres a bag now empty your desk)
even an election in the next few years?
Here’s how it will pan out with the electorate. Furious at having to endure another frigging year of the one eyed winking snotgobbling bogey picker, they will inflict severe general election damage on labour MPs who allowed this to happen. ie all of the cowardly spineless yellow chicken shits.
All in all, quite a result. Labour doomed to political oblivion, kept out of power for years. Just the way we like it.
Sorted.
English Democrats say: “We did it cheaply and Cheerfully!”
You can always rely on the craven, cowardly and downright criminally stupid PLP.
Thee one and only exception being when they forced the resignation of a leader who actually could win general elections. They chose the wrong moment for their one flash of bravery.
Where are all those ‘insiders’ who were telling us this afternoon that Brown would be gone by this evening?
They were insiders alright………inside Rampton.
sorry, pissed now, would’nt you be??? Ive got no balls, i just want some cash before i go back to local council leaflet distribution. Gordons greeeeeaaat. Honestly. Missed my chance with the Flint babe. My life is over but hope theres more for all of you committed tossers. Bye.
Only one thing for this….
“Raymondo….fetch the Quattro”
If only they’d let me get my legs out; dont even mind ripping my tights, anything i can do to stop Labour getting in and saving the country & we generally “fire up the Quattro” but happy to smash your head into the desk if you dont understand.
But will the bent politico jump before the car has even hit him as in tonights episode.
You know thats not important! Its all about accepting todger either now or in the past, fukced then, fukced now. Look at my hair, look at the Prime Minister. Girls wear skirts!!!!
Yes – piss-poor stunt man.
The ending was bloody confusing, too.
Purnell must have been up to something, why organise a big drinks affair in Manchester to coincide with the PM’s shindig?
It could be that Purnell realised after the westminster gig, that the total number of Labour MP’s vertebrae can be counted on two hands.
It would put me off, I have never witnessed such a wet bag of spineless cretins.
newsnight, brown say’s ,’i have my strengths i have my weakness there are some things i do well, and some things i do not so well but i’ve learnt that ‘you’ve’ got to keep learning all the time,
note he didn’t say he had to keep learning subliminal message for his flock of sheep.
I’m buying an RV a fucking off
why doesn’t byers stand for leader? just a thought
???????!!!!!!???!!!!!!……??????…!!!…..)!(
Answer: because he is complete tit.
true, like i said it was just a thought ;o)
Ok – all over for now. But does this really look like a stable situation ? Can we go on with our Dear Leader for another 12 months? Not a prayer.
Trust me, you got this fucerk 4 the next year
It’s not that bad. They could have put the postie in charge, and worked hard for a year on shoring up their vote. Might have meant less of a meltdown at the next GE.
With snotty still in charge for the next year, we can at least look forward to labour being well and truly rubbed out.
It’ll be worth the wait to see those gloomy Zanu faces at the town halls as their candidates come fourth or fifth behind the nutters, and of course, the utter despair at the BBC.
Those who are slightly disheartened by the thought of Brown for another year, might enjoy this article from Mick Hume at sp!ked (in the long-run they’re doomed):
Expenses, excuses and Labour delusions
Whether Gordon Brown stays or goes, New Labour’s political crisis goes far deeper than him.
http://www.spiked-online.com/index.php?/site/article/6992/
“Parties tend to get the leaders they deserve. The fact that Brown has the attractive appearance of a cadaver these days seems entirely appropriate. The Labour Party is a mouldering corpse, and modern science has no miracle that can bring it back to life…”
I repeat….
I believe most Labour MPs will be looking for a new Party to join after tonight.
Why in Heaven’s name would they want to stay under Labour with this sort of bullying going on.
If it was me, I’d be crossing to another side – any colour they feel comfortable with…………
Any colour except Brown, matey.
Brown but not out! “Will no one think of the children? Little Balls, teeny, tiny Yvette, poor wee Davey Milliband? Och, deary me!”)
Look out Mandy’s about ! Newsnight are on about Machiavelli.
I expect some ominous Omed type music and then Balls and Mandy close ups.
THat shoudl be Omen or more accurately Gregorian chanting like Ave Satani
I hate that fuxcking music they put on newsnight reports now. Complained, pointless. Dribbling morons tell me that it enhances the experience for some viewers – i.e. fuck off and die, we do what we want.
how soft was paxman with straw. no challenge to the pathetic mantra that we are all subjected to, we will not be brain washed, we will not be brain washed we will not……brown is best person to get us through brown is best person to get us through brown is best….nnnooooooooooooooo wake up tis pheww!!!
“how soft was paxman with straw.”
To be honest Straw dog always makes me go soft………the cυnt.
I would like to see the courageous GB on question time this week…in cornwall.
how good would that be..never happen tho
Up against a wall more like.
Yvette !! I’m still in with a chance for number 11, don’t throw those curtains away.
Facts of Brown meeting:
Look,its all up with us,but stick with me for another year,max those exes,get your parachute and pension payments sorted,and for those that won’t be enobled,find a nice berth on a quango or local government position,or simply retire to tuscany or the carribean,FFS you must have banked enough by now.
I can give you a years notice,which is more than the poor saps out there get.
What exactly IS the Prime Mentalist good at in reality? The idea of him being some kind of economic genius is a total lie, in complete opposition to the actual facts. He inherited a booming economy from the Conservatives which he slowly suffocated. Windfall tax on utilities. Pension funds raided. Gold reserves sold, and not even at a good rate. Inexorable tax rises. Failed to regulate banks who were stealing depositors’ money, but then he thinks stealing is a great virtue. His one and only real talent was for deceiving people with skewed financial statistics and small print. The rest was off camera thuggery.
Tractor production increased.
And he helped conquer Iran after Saddam flew those planes into the World Trade Center.
Also provided the funds needed to rent me a place to shag the secretary. Bought me 2 jags as well – a do nothing tory bastard wouldn’t do that.
Next year, because it’s the right thing to do for hard working families, the election will be postponed indefinitely. Anyone who complains is a racist. Little englander too.
Did any body ever find out what the third way was?
Something to do with coming round the back way wasn’t it?
giggle.
gui-gui woz ‘ad.

my anger towards the labour party has grown 10 fold, in the past i could see the necessity of labour in opposition primarily to address social conscience keep a balance so to speak, the 70′s and these last 12 years reinforces why i dont vote for them = incompetence, but under brown dislike/disagreement has turned to hate, and how they have behaved this evening is absolutely disgusting cowardice, it is a horrible feeling, it’s getting to the point i have to turn off because i get so physically angry.
The Prime Mentalist’s own expenses abuses were another instance of his financial deceptions, this time at a personal level.
Now that Liebour are one big happy family again lets have a bit of Red Flag nostalgia.A TUBE STRIKE.
F*ck it, let’s go the whole hog. Rubbish not collected, rail strike, coffins piling up on the streets, those were the days. Ahhh – the 70s. great time to be alive. Such a pity that the evil Maggie came along to ruin the socialist paradise! Still, at least it meant liebour have someone to blame for every possible thing. I’ve even heard them blaming her for the current economic crisis!!!
Well she was, wasn’t she?
Yes of course, I forgot. She relaxed the rules on the deposits that banks have to keep, stole money from our pensions, sold all the gold at rock bottom prices, etc etc.
I obviously need re-education in a Peoples’ Retraining Camp.
she also got rid of my job as milk monitor,best job i ever had.
I like pies…..I don’t like pies……..I like pies…….I don’t like pies……I like pies……I don’t like pies….I like pies…….I don’t like pies…..

Isn’t life grand!
Ah, but I fooled the lot of them!
Guido, how do you know now that this scoop isn’t for real? Has Purnell or somebody else told you so?
This whole debacle seems remarkably similar to a mutiny I am currently experiencing among my own domestic servants, which you might read about here: http://augustusjstigwood.blogspot.com/

There’s a bit of totty in a sari that lives opposite me. Is that what he means? Or would it just be ladyboys?
We had them ladyboys in Brighton the other week for the arts festival. And we will have the Zanulab conference here as well this year. Does wonders for our police precepts, watch them grow and grow.

I wonder why the cheap options aren’t mentioned at all.
That would be Sweat shops

Do you think a single Labour MP left that meeting tonight full of hope for the future?

Yes I was thinking of that Jacobi/Graves moment tonight as well.
Tiberius is a dead ringer for Gordy. Its very uncanny.
This is good news I say – this saga’s getting far too friuty to end now. Purnell might tease some of the other weasels out. But those side-burns have got to go if he wants to be PM

If you look around throughout Europe this evening
You will find that Socialism is on its last legs like Communism in 89…
Both these diseases were invented by Marx, Engels and Lenin..
Now the whole horror of the 20th century of Socialisms is beginning to dawn on peoples throughpout Europe…
With a lag…
SOCIALISM IS FINISHED
and New labour
Which was a fraudlent offshoot of Socialism
Socialism and New Labour in Britain represents lying, theft, fraud, corruption, cannibalism perversion of the course of justice, selling titles, selling influence, selling moehthers and all unnatural practices…
It was bound to end that way…
We must just kill what is left of New Labour
Then the Opposition will be wishy washy Limp Dems (without any policy), wishy washy Greens (thinking that pplants are more important than humans, etc while driving around in 4 x 4s) etc
It is only a question of time throughout Europe and the world…
We have new fields and new hopes for human freedom now..
Freed from this file creed of Socialism invented by Marx, Engels and Lenin..
Hardly surrprising that one of the last propogandists for Socialism and New Labour in Britain is called Mandelson
It all fits you see
Shades of WEIMAR…
Speak tomorrow
I think you should give the NHS helpline a call, ask them about Prozac.
Think for a change instead of trying to smear like your sordid friends
Try puting two and two together, but that might give you a breakdown I suppose!!
Am utterly happy to agree some of these points philosophically and politically. It all just sounds more like a Nuremberg rally than political analysis.
People with depression see the world more accurately and are more aware of realities.

Plotters must feel sick after today’s Independent Front page tells them that a poll says Johnson would deny Cameron outright victory.
Here’s the Gaurdians take on the story,
“Alan Johnson could deny the Tories an overall majority at the next general election if he replaced Gordon Brown, according to a poll.
As the Prime Minister appeared to have seen off the latest effort to depose him, research by ComRes for the Independent suggested a change would improve Labour’s prospects.
The Conservatives have an advantage of 38% to 22% with Gordon Brown as leader, indicating they would romp home with a majority of 74, the survey found – but if Home Secretary Mr Johnson took the Labour helm, it predicted the party’s support would rise to 26% and backing for David Cameron drop to 36%.
Those figures would leave the Tories six short of an overall majority.
Labour’s fortunes would also improve if Mr Brown was replaced by Justice Secretary Jack Straw, Foreign Secretary David Miliband, Schools Secretary Ed Balls, or backbencher Jon Cruddas, according to the poll.”
Clearly this is anything but over and the plotting has only stopped for the moment.
Come the autumn it’s game time.
Makes you think the poll was just for them
I have shown the way, I have shown the world the way, I am helping the world fairly and with modesty. I am pleased I am able to help, its in my stride.They know I am God on Brown and they are eager for my advice and wisdom. My own people here in the EUK are so in awe of my prowess that they dare not even vote for me,or even any that are remotely associated with me. It is painful for them. But I understand that my brilliance is hurtful to their eyes. yet I continue to strive to solve these global issues because I know I am the only One competent and capable of such a task. I am a savant of economics and my sacrifice is that my perception is original unique and unexpected. I feel so good about me and I am always surprised when anyone cannot see what shines through me. My works are so obvious. At least the results are.
I am, as I have proved in the last 24 hours, always open to suggestion and new members with a stiff resolve. I will bend over backwards to accommodate that ,
These are difficult times, so we have to resynchronise the time, until the difficulty goes away. We also have to acknowledge the struggles and hardships of our humble members who parle, they too need homes, numerous free homes , and sustainance, at least until they are sussed…. and family jobs are the way I gave seen yo achieve this., I see a future with 97 year old Grans being effective and well paid personal secretaries, under IQ’d teen in laws being in charge of rabble rousing, even though it may be a while before we might knock on a door again to ask for support. We shine too bright with goodness and honest values for most people to be able to gaze upon us. Especially to gaze upon me.
We will watch them from the restaurants, trick them from the platforms, and we will never, never let them see what they are voting about.
I know, I am sincerely and totally convinced, that you find it hard to envisage anyone else, anyone quite like me, running this great scam of ours, . Country .running this great country of ours……….
Did I ever tell you my Father was a strict Presbyterian who prepared me for being this divine and infallible?
I have a meeting soon, I can do meetings, they are a great part of being busy, and I am a busy person, if I stop having a meeting its only so I can be sincere and encouraging.
Thank you for your truss and support.
Gonad.
I hope Purnell does challenge the Prime Mentalist for the premiership. I hope the police are also called in to investigate the Prime Mentalist’s expenses. Everybody on this site should contact the police asking them to investigate the mad bottler. You never know. If enough of us do so, they just might…
nearly 600 members of the PLP , 90 minutes , 6 spoke against gordon , detractors now to cease hostilities for the sake of unity and give the ruin a chance !!
James who ?? It could be that there is some double checking of who is with him , perhaps that is wise and the challenge will turn up with more troops , looks a bit soft to me .
It feels like a delay , an infuriating a delay after the fevered election results .
Change will occure , he may have “seen off” the challenge in parliment , I doubt he has seen off the challenge of the electorate , he will have to explain the ecnomic mess as that is the created class divide .
the basic analysis of huge debts and uncertain recovery , the issue he is not deliberately not talking about , will be what he has to base any election on .
It did not all start in America , it started with bad investments tarted up as triple A , and a corrupt banking system and rigged parliment .
mps and commentators have safe salaries , he will have a lot of explaining to do to those people who will be paying for his and his parties grand trick on them .
Fog of war……. It will dissipate as we get nearer any proper election. Just have to watch for the blackmail smear and stazi tactics applied to the opposition as the time draws nearer.
Cowards and self seekers the lot of em
Purnell is now the only alternative to to nokiaGBh. Forget the rest. They will never have the character and resolve to mount a challenge.
Frankly, who cares?
But his name isn’t Gord Brown, is it? His real name is Wee Jimmy Broon.
Meanwhile on planet earth, and UK…
The people are heartbroken.They entrusted those they thought were their ‘betters’ to look after their interests. Instead, those people claim more in yearly expenses than the average UK wage.
BNP did well because ex-Labour voters are shocked that their Party betrayed them.
I have no sympathy for BNP, and their sophistry. I have deep sympathy for those new BNP voters. Who will represent the people who clean, and maintain your home, office, car and public services because you are so very important and impractical, unable to do what the majority of the UK population does? Rise at 6am. Work at 8am.
There is the question for pampered pet politicos of every colour to answer. Meanwhile, the IMF awaits a credible plan for the UK to repay its debts.
‘Politics is showbiz for ugly people’, as someone once said.
Tonight, Labour alienated its core voters. Will other mainstream Parties do the same, and deliver more votes to the BNP, UKIP, the Greens? Just wondering…
Stop whinging about your petty political machinations, and start looking at what is: the heartbroken or apathetic electorate think you political cynics are all part of the same club. Get radical, and express the public’s concerns, or get lost, ie get back to your provincial obscurity, and the Ricky Gervaise ‘Office’ you deserve.
The people are heartbroken, fearful, and need help, and they will set your House on fire if you carry on with this petty politico self-serving game. History tells us that is so.

I think we have a year of Gordon Brown as a weak PM, think John Major but worse. How the mighty have fallen, from Stalin to having the Dark Prince as your protector. Think a year of weak government, daily critical news on Brown by Labour MPs. I was watching Ashes to Ashes can I go back to 1982 please, another Year of Brown, would rather be in back in 1982 and start a fan club for Gene Hunt
Shame Guido got punked, might have been amusing to watch Parnell try doing Admiral Dönitz to Browns loopy Hitler.
You burn if you want to. This lady’s not for burning.
Brown wasn’t just rescued by Mandleson. He was rescued by the lack of viable candidates for his post. If there had have been he would have been dropped like a hot brick. The lack of quality amongst labour ranks saved him.
Another day gone by, and not even one of the New Labour fraudsters arrested.
Wake up, police, you are letting us all down!
There’s a nice cliff. Let’s all jump. You can all go first. I’ll jump afterwards.
Wrong again!!
Purnell’s just done his capitulation interview.
Hello beloved one

My late husband was a very wealthy and after his death i inherited all his business and wealth, due to my situation now i decided to give some part of my wealth to contribute to the development of churches in Africa, America, Asia and Europe and i selected you after visiting this website and gone through your profile i prayed over it, I am donating the sum seventeen million five hundred thousand dollars($17,500.000.000.00 usd) to the less privilleged
Please get back to me on my mail address david.joy27@yahoo.com for more detaills
Thanks and remain bless
Wait for your urgent reply
Your sister in Christ
Mrs Joy David
I think you’ve got the wrong blog darling. You should try over at Labour Home. Press the little orange button with £££ written on it where it says Donate and you should be ok.
You never know – could be a life peerage in it for you
Breifing from PLP HQ, group think, “The leopard is going to change it’s spots”. Labour will have a landslide victory at the next election, perfect world according to “little Hitler” new defence secretary. Reality Cameron and Tories are thrilled with the good news from PLP HQ, carry on chaps, as you were!
OK, what’s really puzzling me here is the amazing volte face by Barry Sheerman. Listening to him on C4 News yesterday evening, it was hard to believe it was the same person who called for a secret ballot to get rid of Gordon just a few days ago.
What’s going on? Did someone get to him? Are Gordon’s enforcer’s threatening to release his expense claims to the Telegraph? Do they have some pictures of him in compromising positions with farm animals?
One thing is sure, something is going on. Guido, please find out and let us know!
Bloody hell, this thing is making me so mad I’m losing control of my apostrophes. I meant “Gordon’s enforcers”, obviously.
I’m impressed a man who knows his apostrophes. I bet you know that TV Licence is spelt with a second c as opposed to an s.
A message to all Labour MPs – you have failed us the voting public.
On Thursday we sent you a message via the ballot box expecting you to take action on it. Your in-action demonstrats a lack of courage and an inability to standup for what you believe in ( thats if any of you actually believe in anything anymore other than protecting your own self interest).
This will not be forgotten by the British people for a very long time. It may even be the end for the Labour party, a party that stands for nothing any more except preserve itself.
You have a duty to this country to give us a leader who is in control and can take the country forward. All we have now is a puppet controlled by Mandleson and his cronies, in effect a second unelected leader.
If you are a Labour MP is this really what you went into politics for?
You speak wisely, Bristol Bob.
This lot of MPs couldn’t organise a coup in a brewery.
Perfectly said, Bristol Bob. Your excellent summary should be sent to the editor of every paper in the country with an average readership IQ in double figures. That rules out The Star, The Sun and the FT. (Some mistake here – Ed) Let’s keep chipping away at the One-Eyed Scottish Wanker until he slithers away with Lord Sausage Jockey into total obscurity.
Did anyone hear the brave housewife speaking on R4′s PM yesterday afternoon? She’s so disgusted with McTurd that she’s taking her own petition to hand personally to McMental demanding he stands down.
Guido- you’ve just demonstrated why blogs are utter fucking shit. Try being a journalist next time and actually verify before you tap out any more ridiculous wank.
Give Guido a break. The news was clearly marked as unconfirmed.
And when he found out it was tosh, he corrected it.
Compare and contrast with mainstream newspapers. How many of them bother to correct things that turn out to be tosh?
Anyone seen today’s Mail piece about Trougher Kinnock not being able to take up her cabinet “post” as she’s still an MEP? More shit for Cyclops to dig his way out of.
Only until Bastille Day, then dear Glynis can pocket the Brussels millions and continue at the Westminster trough for the rest of her disgusting little life…
Little wonder the Welsh Windbag himself was at the Gorgon’s side last night propping up his rotting carcase – just wants to make sure wifey is safely on the Gravy Train for life before the Great Gorgon is allowed fianlly to collapse in a stinking heap.

MillibandYoctoband stand against Brown?Let us shine some unwelcome (for him) light on this offspring of a Belgian Marxist.
The only person in history who has managed to get into Oxford with three Cs and a D.
Well, Marxist academics must look after each other.
He wasn’t Belgian, he was Polish. He had fled to Belgium as a refugee and then came here in 1940.
Nadine is predicting Purnell will defect to the Roons
A quick comment on today’s egging on of Nick Griffin; it’s his democratic right to hold a press conference and to interrupt and disrupt that is an insult to those who voted for him, whether they were deluded or not. I’ll say one thing for the bloke. So far, he’s done a damn sight less damage to Britain than Cyclops and Lord Bum-Boy.
everything is being swept under the carpet. Cant someone just pop down to the police station and make a report of fraud against these parasites. It would have to be investigated, surely.
I would but my local cop shop is closed.
[...] no credible candidate came forward. Nice bit of plausible nuancing. Guido took a flyer and ran a much caveated post emphasising it was unconfirmed and immediately tried to get hold of Purnell. When it [...]
