Frank Field : Brownites are Attempting to Terrorise Labour MPs

Frank Field has just blogged this

Target GordonLabour cannot win with the present Prime Minister. I was one of the seven who would not support his coronation after Tony Blair was shoehorned out of Number 10. But even I didn’t think a Brown administration would be as inept as this one.

The Brownites are attempting to terrorise Labour MPs into inaction. If they succeed then we deserve our fate.

It is simply absurd to argue, as does No. 10, that the next leader must call an immediate general election. A new leader, when being invited by the Queen to form a government, should inform the Monarch that he or she intends to return in April of next year to call for a General Election on May 6.

Frank has shown some spunk, how many more will follow?

      Frank has shown plenty of spunk over the years (allegedly).

      They threatened to kick him out of the party for asking for the manifesto pledge to be honoured on the Lisbon Treaty

        I don’t know quite how he can come to the conclusion that they’re only into keeping gordon for the sake of keeping expenses for a year.
        Sounds a bit like “they’re just jealous”, not really very insightful.

        Bunnies in headlights and “still scared of speaking out” are better theories.

        I voted for a party that doesnt offer what I want and am diappointed when they don't give it to me says:

        Why should the Labour Party be any better at political assassination than they are at anything else??

        Being a labour MP is the ultimate ambition of someone who came last in the lottery of life when they were awarding brains or indeed any discernible talent whatsoever. They hate their supporters because they see themselves reflected in those moronic faces. They idolise spivs and celebrities simply because they don’t know any better – like I said, they are gormless. They are the ultimate wastes of space.

      I am anti-Labour.
      I am like the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bangh.
      I trundle around driving my concealed cage promising the idiots I will stop privatising the Post Office and that I will hold an Inquiry into the Iraq occupation.
      But when I have tricked them into thinking I am on their side then.. CLUNK! I slam the door of the cage shut and then I shoot the dumb animals in the back of the head!!
      I am far more interested in serving my own interests than the country and my party.
      And so is Peter Mandelson.
      We’re a right pair of crooks!
      I don’t understand how I have been able to soft soap the backbenches for so long.

        Dr Suess, stick to what you know: constitutional matters are cleary beyond you.
        You don’t seem to understand that the electorate does not vote for the PM directly.
        There is a reason for that Dr Seuss, it is so that every time a PM dies or is ill or is removed cretins like you can’t pop up and say-
        “There’s no way the British public would put up with another unelected leader until April next year.”
        It would undermine the democratic process you see.
        People vote for governments not Prime Ministers.
        There, I trust I have made that simple enough for even an crackhead like you to understand.
        Tories = Retarded Crackheads.

          CE – and you appear to have failed to grasp that just because an MP or party “follows the rules”, it does not necessarily mean that the natives will remain calm and composed. See the expenses scandal for some live examples.

          Just to really clarify the situation.

          People vote for MP’s, NOT governments.

          MP’s should therefore owe their allegiance to their constituents, not to their party.

          DAVID CAMERON IS A BENEFIT CHEAT NORMALLY TORIES HATE THEM DON'T THEY? says:

          Ah yes, the expenses scandal.
          Let’s talk about Dave shall we?
          David Cameron is the leader of the Conservative Party and he is also a housing benefit cheat.
          As soon as Dave got voted in as an MP he started defrauding the taxpayer by making the maximum allowance claim possible. As David is a mulit multi multi millionaire that was a completely unnecessary and extravagant claim for him to make.
          Now, you’re an intelligent fellow TT, so you tell me what you think of those apples.

          Constitutional Expert says:

          And now we are reaching the heart of the matter.
          You say people vote for MPs. Well of course they do numbnuts but they vote for MPs who can form a government.
          MPs have three masters, the constituent, the party and their conscience.
          As the expense scandal has proved they have followed only the party line and they have done so for their own financial gain.
          In effect the taxpayer has paid the parties to bribe their own members.
          Vote independent if you want to reduce corruption in the Commons.
          It is the surest way to regain our democracy.

        But don’t count Brown out. Benefit scroungers and public sector employees (some would lump them together) have a big incentive to vote labour at general elections, since labour will cut public spending less than conservatives.

    He’s a twat and deserves to hang, but I think that over the next year the economy is going to get better and a new head of the labour party could get enough of a bounce to keep the labour party in control.

      The economy is not going to get better, it’s going to get a whole lot worse. Once the off balance sheet public debt (probably far higher than anyone imagines) is known to all, the pound will plummet, and interest rates and inflation will go through the roof.

          The big problem with having an election next Spring is that there would have to be another Budget and it would have to be at least semi-honest, i.e. with huge tax rises and vicious spending cuts.

        Jeremy Bowen says:

        Spend all your savings if you have any because the government, whether labour or its successor will HAVE to allow inflation to reach a high never before experienced in this country. By doing this, they will make its liability for all its borrowings worth less and become more easily repayable. At the same time, your money will become worthless. Pre-war Germany, Zimbabwe, and then the UK.
        So, if you have any money, spend it now. Alternatively, leave this country and take your money with you to a country whose government did not debauch the economy. Why pay for the rest of your lives for the mess Brown, Balls and all the other incompetents made of this once great country and strong economy? Have you noticed that a number of leading FOOTSIE 100 companies are migrating their head offices out of the UK to reduce their tax burden? They are better economists than Brown etc. As Brown always says when trying to convince himself that he is correct, “It’s the right thing to do”.

    Guido and his fellow right-wing bloggers must be pretty disappointed at last night’s results. All in all, of course it was a bad night for Labour but it could have been a lot worse. Remember how the Toryboys and Tory trolls were saying we’d come 4th? Well it didn’t happen did it? And the Tories didn’t do much better than last time only gained one seat. LOL!

    I don’t think it’s a verdict on the Labour Government of Gordon’s leadership. The voters were rightly angry at MPs expenses and that was why they turned to thr fringe parties to cast their protest votes. This election was dominated by MPs expenses and Labour suffered more because we’re the governing party.

    Gordon Brown is getting on with the job and when it comes to policies, I believe he is the experienced Captain to guide our nation through the stormy waters of recession to the calm seas of economic prosperity.

          I absolutely agree that public sector resources should be concentrated on frontline services. But do you seriously say there should be NO “managers”, or admin staff? The logical extension of what you suggest is a bank of freelance forensic scientists in various disciplines. How would each police force contact the relevant people to investigate crimes in their areas? How would this work with no bureacracy, management or admin? How would they ensure that these freelancers are competent, qualified, and managed, and can work with scientists of other disciplines to solve crimes? SHould the scientists do all their own admin, or have staff to do their typing so they can investigate more cases?
          Can’t have it both ways, it’s either the Forensic Science quango or local Police Services who have to pay.

    I’d like to see the back of virtually all the current PLP, since they’ve backed Blair & Brown every time they’ve gone against their own Manifesto commitments. And they’ve backed them when they’ve lied to Parliament. And they’ve wallowed in the one-sided Speaker’s backing.

    A few, such as Field & Hooey, I have time for and are old school MPs – the rest can go hang.

    As for Brown nerve in denigrating Parliament by saying it’s run like a Gentleman’s Club – such clubs would have kicked these twits out, if they’d not been blackballed in the first place.

    Let Brown stew in his own juice, let him lie until the last moment, then he’ll take more down with hime. Maybe even Mandelson will come a cropper this time round, although he’s extracted his price by getting another naff ex-EU Commisar into the Legislature.

    The PLP supports Gordon Brown overwhelmingly. The handful of rebels, motivated by pique and personal grievance, are too cowardly to show their hand. The glasshopper’s chirping seems to be coming from one of the sleeves of the scareclow. Only the obsequious grinners of the Tory party have ever stooped to regicide but all too few understand this historical precedent.

Frank Field, Alan Johnson, Prince Michael of Kent… at the moment anyone would do. All the PLP has to do is pick someone and go for it. McBroon will be wiped out at a general election, someone else would be beaten, but at least they could say that they tried to do something for the nation before being kicked out.

    Sally Keeble, backbench MP for Northampton and a member of the Treasury Select Committee, said Mr Brown had failed to communicate his “vision” or create a stable, united Government.

    In a letter to her contituents, she said: “There has to be consistency and credibility, not just a statement of values but an explanation of how they will be put into practice.

    “To achieve that we need a leader who can articulate that vision and let our country and the party move on.”

    I’ve got to the point now where I dont care who takes over from him. Broon has finally revealed the monstrous (maybe even psychotic) workings of his mind and regime and it will be a relief for our democracy whoever takes over, be it Harperson or Ba Ba the Elephant.

    Set me free, why don’t cha Gord
    Get out my life, why don’t cha Gord
    ‘Cause you don’t really love me
    You just keep on hangin’ on
    We don’t really need you
    But you keep on hangin’ on

    Why do you keep a going around
    Playing with my cash?
    Why don’t you get out of my life
    And let me have a new bash?
    Let me get over you
    The way you’ve put one over me

    Set me free, why don’t cha Gord
    Let me be, why don’t cha Gord
    ‘Cause you don’t really love me
    You just keep on hangin’ on
    Now we don’t really want you
    You just keep on hangin’ on

    You say although you goofed up
    You still wanna be just friends
    But how can we still be friends
    When seeing you only makees me puke again
    And there ain’t nothing I can do about it

    Woo, set me free, why don’t cha Gord
    Woo, get out my life, why don’t cha Gord
    Set me free, why don’t cha Gord
    Get out my life, why don’t cha Gord

    You claim you still care for me
    But your second homes need to be free
    Now that your mates are a shower
    You wanna still hold on to power
    You don’t want me for yourself
    So let me find somebody else. Hey!

    Why don’t you be a man about it
    And set me free
    Now you don’t care a thing about me
    You’re just using me
    Go on, get out, get out of my life
    And let me sleep at night
    ‘Cause you don’t really love me
    You just keep on hangin’ on…

    Sorry but FF is wrong. A new leader needs to call a General Election otherwise he/she won’t have any authority and Liebour will still slide down the pan.

    David Steele. “We we’re not out of touch with the British people over Europe”

    Of course not. Except that Liebour and the Lib Dems combined only have the same number of MEP’s as the two centre right Euro sceptic parties.

    You go David, you are driving more people away from the Lib Dems.

    MandyCallsTheShots says:

    Everybody knows that Brown is a bully but 2 MP’s have been brave enough to say so in one day. Let’s hope that more follow and the decision is made to ‘gang up’ on the bully. Blair says he is a liar with serious character defects, Mandelson was saying the same until he went inside the tent (and joined the circus). The Sugar and Kinnock moves alone ought to finish this man but these spineless, selfish MP’s have been persuaded that any new leader would be bound to call an immediate election and their ‘careers’ (ha) would be at great risk (sod what the country wants). Any new leader would have as much of a mandate as Brown ever had so need not call an election anyway.

    Anon says:

    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 disgust who nobody of any persuasion can take seriously.

    City of Vice says:

    The Parliamentary Labour Party. A shameful bunch of cowards. Spineless cowards.

    These cowards think nothing of sending young men and women to their deaths fighting in dubious wars. Yet they haven’t the balls to stand up to the likes of Brown and Mandelson or are else too craven to pass up the opportunity to trough at our expense for another year until they are forced to face the electorate.

    So its 12 months of drift until the next election, when hopefully Labour will be annihilated as an electoral force.

    Labour pigs, with their snouts well and truly in the trough, will not give up shaking their ‘money tree’ and vote themselves out of an income – particularly as most are incapable of doing a proper job.

      It sill be amusing to see them lining up with all the labour voters outside the jobcentre this time next year. Anyone want to give a job to Hazel Blears. Just imagine the horror of having to see that stupid grin every day. No wonder she got pushed out.

    If only Daisy Cameron and his fags could offer us anything but a velvet fist in a velvet glove on a limp wrist.

    No real commitment on the Lisbon treaty, fainting at the thought of locking terrorists suspects up for any longer than ten minutes, no change in immigration policy that the EU won’t sanction, dead against all those CCTV cameras showing those nice rapists and gang knifers, even against DNA tests records being kept because of umanrights, innit.

    He’s a nanomillimetre better than Brown.

    And that’s about it.

    What a fucking prospect.

Maybe if they really wanted to “decontaminate the Labour brand” with business people, they shouldn’t have totally buggered up the economy?

Just a thought.
