Downing Street Spins Malik is Different from McNulty

Tony McNulty resigned from the government when he came under investigation by the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner over £60,000 claimed on a second home, where his parents live.

Malik Reported to Parliamentary Standards commissionerYesterday the PM’s spokesman, Michael Ellam, was asked whether the Prime Minister thought it was premature and unwise to bring Shahid Malik back into Government so quickly.  He was also asked why it was right for Shahid Malik to step down while Sir Philip Mawer held an inquiry, but not while  John Lyon held one?  Ellam gave some waffle which didn’t really make sense.

McNultyMcNulty admitted in his letter of resignation that “It has been immensely difficult for me to give full attention to my job as Minister for London and for Employment and Welfare Reform with this issue hanging over my head.” Malik on the other hand wants us to believe he can give his ministerial duties his full attention despite being under investigation for corruption. 

Why is he different from McNulty?  Why is John Lyon’s investigation less important than Sir Philip Mawer’s investigation – which had less damning evidence to consider?

      Labour corruption is clear – one rule for those Brown wants to save – and the chop for those MP’s he wants to get rid of. We are only one step away from Iran and Zimbabwe at present. Our glorious leader plots and schemes….

          Shahid ought to be spelt Shadih, given his track record.

          Isn’t a shahid a martyr in Islam? Perhaps it’s time for old Shadih Malik to martyr himself (again) for the sake of his party.

          Not much chance here! far too much apathy. Although it would be nice to think we could change things, far more likely for a few strongly worded letters, also less chance of one of the Mets TSG goons beating you senseless, which seems to be amore reoccuring theme to Brithish demos.

          It is for the Iranians to solve, IMHO. If people do not like the actions of the govt, don’t buy their oil, don’t buy products & services from companies who do. Your choice. Make it.

          Iran has had WAY too much Western intervention in its internal affairs.

      Malik can do what he likes because he is a member of an ethnic minority and they seem to get away with everything and are quick to use the racist card. That he is a thieving bastard matters not at all because loads of Labour MPs futures depend on the Muslim vote so Malik can get away with what he wants

    Presumably gordon is hanging onto him not for his talent and his honesty but because of his ethnic background.

    Multi culturalism was a central plank of this government’s policies so they need people like malik to sell the product. Same with BaronessU.

    Doesn’t matter about their lack of talent or ethics – Their ethnic background is their sole reason for being there.

    awfull as it sounds, for the long term good of our country, I hope something else goes rong and creates further redundancies and gloom just before the election. Maybe then all the population will see how evil he and his party is.

      Rt Hon Andy Burnham MP says:

      George you’re sick. The NHS have a new celebrity who is going to be their poster boy
      little Billy Evans.
      Listen to little Billy:
      I know you all are very caring people:

      I am a very sick boy little boy. My mother is typing this for me,
      because I can’t. She is crying. Don’t cry, Mommy! Mommy is always sad,
      but she says it’s not my fault. I asked her if it was God’s fault, but
      she didn’t answer, and only started crying harder, so I don’t ask her
      that anymore.

      The reason she is so sad is that I’m so sick. I was born without a body.

      It doesn’t hurt, except when I go to sleep. The doctors gave me an
      artificial body. My body is a burlap bag filled with leaves. The
      doctors said that was the best they could do on account of us havin’no money or insurance. I would like to have a body transplant, but we
      need more money.

      Mommy doesn’t work because she said employers don’t hire crying
      people. I said, “Don’t cry, Mommy,” and she hugged my burlap body.
      Mommy always gives me hugs, even though she’s allergic to burlap, and
      it chafes her real bad. I hope you will help me. You can help me if
      you forward this e-mail.

      Dr. Van Nostrem from the clinic said if you forward this e-mail then
      Bill Gates will team up with AOL and do a survey with NASA. Then the
      astronauts will collect prayers from school children all over America
      and take them up to space so that the angels can hear them better.
      Then they will go to the Pope, and he will take up a collection in
      church and send the money to the doctors. The doctors could help me
      better then. Maybe one day I will be able to play baseball. Or maybe
      just use my lungs and heart, when the doctors make them. The doctors
      said that every time you forward this letter, the astronauts can take
      another prayer to the angels.

      Please help me. Mommy is so sad, and I want a body. I don’t want my
      leaves to rot before I turn 10. If you don’t forward this e-mail,
      that’s OK. Mommy says you’re a mean heartless shithead who doesn’t
      care about a poor little boy with only a head. She says that if you
      don’t stew in the raw pit of your own guilt-ridden stomach, she hopes
      you die a long slow horrible death so you can burn forever in
      hell. What kind of goddamned person are you that you can’t take five
      fucking minutes to forward this to all your friends so that they can
      feel guilt and shame for the rest of their day, and then maybe help a
      poor, bodiless nine-year-old boy?

      Please help me! This really sucks. I try to be happy but it’s hard.

      I wish I had a puppy. I wish I could hold a puppy.

      Thank You.
      Billy ‘Smiles’Evans,
      the boy with just a head.

    The only reason Labour have any chance in the next election is down to one man – David Cameron.

    Even his only party members can’t stand this ridiculous, “hip” buffoon. A poor mans Tony Blair, 10 years too late.

    Bearing in mind most voters would rather vote for Adolf Hitler at the minute, than Gordon Brown, the torie council/euro gains were completely pathetic.

    Only enough for an 18 majority in a general election.

    Bearing in mind Labour can only go up, and the X factor that they may well have a young hip, leader of their own in charge by this time next year, isn’t it about time for the tory party to admit that the only question mark on their party is in fact it’s leader?

    I can’t help but think that they’d be home and dry already, with a policy guy like David Davis running the show.

    Not some rather hilarious, public school, 8 house owner, buffoon, who was worth 30 million, even before he entered politics.

    By the way – why is a guy worth 30 million, taking out MP mortgages? Oh yeah – to pay off his credit card………

        Jan says:

        I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again…..The ONLY way that Nu-Liebor did not lose more seats last week is because of postal voting fraud.Why do you think that Nu-Liebor didn’t get wiped out in London? Because of the huge ethnic minority vote.Who checks that all the people who voted are actually entitled to vote.I mean you don’t have to turn up at the local council office to register with your passport do you?
        Secondly,if all the expats who still hold British passports who left the UK less than 15 years ago voted, Nu-Liebor would be toast. If there were on average 300,000 people leaving (many of them of course would have been children at that time but would now be eligible to vote), if only half of them voted for candidates where they last lived in the UK, there would be potentially 2,250,000 extra voters. Now how many people who left would vote for McBroon? None I’d guess,as most of them left because of his rotten party. If you then broke it down to see how many people left grotty Nu-Liebor areas you could target ALL Nu-Liebor constiuencies, like Hazel Blears in Salford.The only problem again would be voting fraud.I mean if lots more votes were sent to places like Salford how could expats trust local councils not to bin their votes?.So if these expats could send their votes to their local British embassy they know their vote would count.Unless that is, McBroon somehow managed to send a few of his own personal ‘Returning Officers’to count the vote. If I was Dave or Nick or even Nige I would court the expat vote.

      Shady Malarkey says:

      There are very few MPs of any political colour that meet the “very highest standard” in the matter of expense claims. Neither Brown nor Cameron, themselves both tainted, wish to lose key appointees. Obviously the worst offenders have to go but the “within the rules” abusers are being retained on the basis of apologies, paybacks and future undertakings to behave. Malik has offered none of the above.

      I even doubt if Brown read the Mawer report. Mawer, after considering why Malik failed to ask his Landlord to explain the lack of an annual increase, concluded: “This might not have been in his own financial interest but it would certainly have been in the interest of preserving his public reputation. However, this was not the situation.”

      So an MP whose public reputation has been lost due to his own failings is reappointed to Government. The only reason for Brown not removing him is the fear of adverse press coverage following a double dismissal.

    Gordon Brown is not a Presbyterian but a Church of Scotland man. True it is that the Church of Scotland is a presbyterian church, but it is not the Presbyterian Church, still less the Free Presbyterian Church.

The EU was so bad that they felt obliged to enrol the rest of the family in the EU gravy train too.

          What appalling, gut-wrenching hypocrisy from these complete parasites. Such utter, utter bastards.

          I believe thier son and hier is also on the payroll ‘Got to keep it in the family’propably being groomed for a Euro job. Whats the betting its all in a trust fund as well to avoid paying taxes when they snuff it..So Keen junior can get a bigger trough. Also they bought thier flat for 500 but charge the public purse for a 520 mortgage as they paid for fixtures and fittings. I trust they can back that up as other-wise it fraud to avoid paying the next level of stamp duty which of course they would never do..

    Cameron would not stop Blair’s EU bid

    David Cameron has said he would allow Tony Blair a free run at becoming the EU’s first president. According to reports, the Tory leader has informed senior colleagues not to oppose a Blair candidacy if the Lisbon Treaty, which creates the role, is ratified later this year. The issue is a thorny one for Mr Cameron, who has refused to answer questions about a Blair candidacy on the grounds that his party opposes the treaty.

      Government should be about choosing people who have integrity, honesty, dedication ,real skills and an ability to connect with their constituents – their colour should be irrelevant.

      In Malik’s case that seems to be the ONLY reason he is in a Minister’s job. That means , like car*line fl*nt he is being used as window dressing – and like her, presumably, he can’t even read and understand the documents that relate to his job.

    The Treasury Select Committee (TSC) will launch an inquiry into Britain’s struggling mortgage market to examine the sharp rise in repossessions and the chronic shortage of affordable home loans for first-time buyers.

      RavingMad says:

      and what they will find is that the government built about, oh, let’s say 2 houses last year… and only one family has been aided by the governments super dooper mortgage scheme – pity about the other 30,000…but hey, this is 2009 and people don’t need homes anymore????

    • 223
      grobdj says:

      Quite apart from the financial crisis, this government has enacted raft after raft of planning regulations on new dwellings which come into force drip by drip each year.

      Higher insulation standards, ‘carbon-neutral’(whatever that means), the list goes on and on.

      But predictably, the wheeze by which Labour creates affordable homes is designed to buy core votes, and is not for everybody. ‘Affordable homes’are dwellings which, on larger sites, a developer must sell at a discount to comply with an affordable homes planning condition (which in turn is a burden generated by the Local Authority’s duty to produce a Housing Plan as part of Local Planning Strategy). Put another way, these are homes which are subsidised by all the other purchasers on a development. When these regulations came in, they were reasonable, maybe 5-10% of dwellings sold at a 25% discount. But future planning regulations increase the proportion of dwellings which must be ‘affordable’and size of the discounts which a developer has to offer.

      Only Ed Balls could think up such a scheme.

      Those moving into the ‘affordable’home are immediately in positive equity. Meanwhile, those who paid full price, in this downturn may find the property is worth less than the mortgage, hence the repossessions.

The British people, in all their glory, will be the ones doing the cutting – cutting Brown’s legs from under him!!!!! Brown, if he escapes criminal proceeding against him on all sorts of counts, can then spend the rest of his mendacious days waiting in an NHS queue for treatment.

    Shady Malarkey says:

    The re-appointment of Shahid Malik as a Minister of the Crown is morally indefensible as well as being administratively and politically inept.

    The government has become so convinced that it is the victim of a press conspiracy, that it is blind to how unacceptable the abuse of expenses system is to the electorate, in particular its own core labour vote.

    This is nothing to do with Shahid Malik’s religion or racial origins, nor is it a party politial matter. Dewsbury has a substantial Muslim population and it is appropriate that it should be represented by a Muslim MP. The Tories agree: in the 2005 election, Malik’s Conservative opponent was Sayeeda Warsi, a muslim who was born and educated in Dewsbury. Now Baroness Warsi, she serves Cameron as Shadow Minister for Community Cohesion and Social Action.

    The Malik issue has everything to do with honesty, transparency and accountability in politics. Malik’s alleged abuses of the parliamentary expenses are not, in the overall context of the current Parliament, particularly grave. It is the MP’s and his government’s response to these allegations that makes his reappointment and continued occupation of office unacceptable.
