Hopefully Jim will have got his story straight by the time they ask him to explain the fake invoice from a fake company with a fake VAT number. He has given the Scottish press various explanations involving pubs and cash. That should work Jim… Not.

piggies a gonna many more to go hooray
morleys on the way to a break down baroness Uddin piddling her pants bring it on.
On to the 50 council tax over claimers next.
When do we get to lock up Tony Bliar?
The Observer says he made Brown order the new Iraq whitewash. You really could not make it up.
The reality is that no MP is going to do time over this, and anyone who thinks otherwise is pretty gullible.
But I dont see how Brown can justify his lame duck govt any further when he has clearly no mandate now.
The ONLY solution to this is to go to the people now.
These lot need to be convicted and then the proceeds of crime applied to their illgotton gains. With the Hundreds of thousands of pounds that have been spirited away into property deals and other profit making ventures. Lets have the Law applied to these lot like the common criminals they really are.
i’m not happy with half a dozen “token” prosecutions the rule states “that the claim Must be essential to your job as an MP ! so there should be hundreds of prosecutions not just a few !
NO2 i used to work for a landlord who had 40 houses and several factorys and he could tell you exactly when each and every mortgage would be paid up and how much he paid so these cnut’s are either Thick or born liars !
Six months in Holloway for the Udderwench – getting poked in the showers by fat ugly dykes – not a pretty thought, I’ll grant you, but it does bring a smile to one’s face.
Only six months?
I want more than that!
Criminality, or dishonesty in a public position, upon conviction, normally carries a minimum penalty of two years imprisonment.
Can’t wait for the Youtube addition
I hope the Dykes are REALLY ugly.
Treble top oh yes
Treble 3………..3 pricks in the bottom.

keep Peter Mandelson out of this !
sound’s like a mandelsons dinner party !
pig, alcohol, pub, bad combination.
Go to the PUB, drink some ALCOHOL, fuck a PIG, good combination.
Can I suggest there’s a danger in some of these comments, Guido – your site might be inadvertently providing evidence for the MPs’ barristers that ‘the current climate makes it impossible for MPs to get a fair trial…’
B*llcks. Fair trial doesn’t come into it. People’s courts and tumbrils, now.
Does there need to be a “trial”?
Surely any charges against the 6 or so who have reallly taken the piss should merit an early “guilty plea”.
How do you explain away claiming for a mortgage you paid off 18 months ago – or fake invoices from fake companies and fake VAT numbers – or claiming to live in a run down flat miles away when your websites and the neighbours say otherwise.
Most hardened lags would throw a guilty plea into charges of fraud under these circs at court…. with mitigation that “everyone was at it” – “I paid it straight back” – “I had less than others who’s legal claims were equally as morally wrong” etc etc
We must never pre-judge a trial, and we must alweays examine ALL of the evidence before coming to a judgement, but based on what I have read so far they are all guilty as fuck as should be delivered to the nearest lamppost forthwith, health & safety and god willing.
so really what is it with these self serving scots just cos queenie gave you back a lump of ole rock it did’nt mean you could drag your manse arses south and have carte blanche to rob the english of what little was left.
Corrupt immoral delinquent greedy scum please remove yourselves north thankyou.
the tressle we stand them on prior to execution MUST t be fitted with a hand rail so as to prevent them falling off and hurting themselves before we string the fuckers up !
i wonder if that stupid tart Harman still advocates the court of public opinion now that politicians instead of bankers are in the firing line.
if only this country had the chair. We could work our way out of national debt by auctioning off the right to throw the switch.
Of course not! I am not that stupid
How will I ever finish this woolly jumper if you just fry them? I say off with their heads – it’s greener too.
They should be composted ASAP. Blood would be good for the veggies.
Guido there is still to much shite on this blog about it being all the Scots Fault, granted we have a problem with the ingrained Labour establishment in scotland which is corrupt and incestious but what about Mandleson, Prescot- Balls , Fuckin Harman, Blunket ,Arthur fuckin Scargill. the bloody Kinnochs, Hoon, and all those Labour troughers who live south of the border ? Dont fall for the Liebour lie of divide and conquer. Thats their fuckin’ game and its Game up you cocks !
Absolutely correct – our southern cousins always play fair so long as there
is ten of them and one of those they do not like…………..they do not like
to compare our losses in Iraq and Afghanistan against theirs. The old story -
- One Englishman = can be tolerated. Two Englishmen = cause for
suspicion. Three Englishmen = A conspiracy. As a Scot I would rid
parliament of most my countrymen (especially Labour) – but there is a
horde of others who should get the chop. The people put them in……
the answer to our present problems must lie with them (the people) too.
IT STARTED IN SCOTLAND
Talamunji. You’re no cousins of ours.
Execution WITHOUT trial these bastards knew what they were doing !
gotta be worth 5 years guilty as fuck !
NO ONE WILL BE PROSECUTED

Police investigation into expences
NO ONE WILL BE PROSECUTED
IT’s all a put up job just you wait and see
This is just a sop to the public, after a week or two it will be anouced that there is insuficient evidence to proceed. GET THE WHITEWASH BUCKET READY
Mores the pity but I think you are right.
Get the Vaseline ready, Jim.
If you aren’t getting fucked by Fondelbottom you’re getting fucked by Norman Fletcher either way you’re fucked you fat twat.
Eh ??!
And whatever you do, don’t drop the soap in the shower either.
Soap on a rope you dope!!!!!!!!!!!
I am not a fuckin’ woofter.
Withdraw your comment or I’ll ask Grouty to deal with you.
Time to re-open the Tower of London – a few heads on Pikes should sort it
Public hangings – i’ll get the bunting
Let’s rebuild Tyburn Tree and make a tourist attraction of it.
Heads of Pikeys too.
Road fill.
Won’t the charges get shelved?
Level with me, will he make a bolt for it?
Well Devine himself has mentioned fraud. Good to know the Old Bill will be looking into it I trust thoroughly.
Wonder if these means I’m about to get into action for a second by election in Livingston?
Eh??!
The blaggard should be keel-hauled.
Blackguard
No racialism – please !
I hope the authorities don’t screw it up
all charges will be dropped due to funding cut in the legal system !
all charges will be dropped due to funding cuts in the legal system !
“All charges will be dropped due to the fucking cnuts in the legal system” – Fixed that for you.
Yes ! the Met are too busy examining the fiddles on expenses within the Yard and from Deputy C C down are having meetings to devise their own cover up frightened what the Daily Mail will print next now that Sir Ian got away SCOT free.
2 pints a larger, a packet of crisps, complete house rewire, enough shelving to kit out the British library and have one yourself my good man.
the shelving ended up in a pub cellar ! he must have some collection of JIZ mag’s !
You can take it from me some of our Public Houses have wonderful Libraries in their cellars.
It’s lies Jim, but not as we know it.
To err is human, to trough is Devine.
LOL
Best posting of the day !
Man who go to bed with itchy butt wake up with stinky fingers.
Its going to be fascinating to see this dishonest cnut duck and weave.
Ducks is Tory. Tax evasion is Labour
all legal fees paid by the taxpayer ? i think so !
And once they’ve finished with him, they can pop round to Falkirk, to where Eric Joyce ‘lives’ and decide whether his dalliances with Revenue and Customs are worthy of further investigation…
Falkirk would be a central Police matter. However if it is decided the fraud has a London element and can be investigated by the Met then so be it.
The Met ! you must be joking, why pass it on to the KEYSTONE KOPS ! ! !
they couldn’t investigate a blocked sink !
Have been trying to get Joyce’s expenses details for eighteen months WITHOUT
SUCCESS – he’s an arrogant,shameless individual who seems to believe we have
no right to question what he is doing with our money; it will be interesting to see
what and how much he returns to the public coffers…….hopefully from one of
Her Majesty’s corrective establishments.
Just as well Eric Joyce ‘invested’ taxpayer funding into some ‘Assertiveness Training’ – no doubt that will help him while the rozzers are shoving a truncheon up his arse and threatening to ‘Tazer his Testicles’ for a fun YouTube video…
You mean of course this Eric Joyce
Hope our English freinds enjoy this, which was broadcast only in Scotland
Just look at his face , all thru this interview he is shooting daggers at the Beeb man who is clearly off message ! Gordon Bruer is one of the few impartial presenters up here. Joyce probably shat himself when he walked in the studio. He thought it would be Placemen Glen Campbell who would have given him an easy ride.
As slippery as a teflon coated slippery thing. Can anyone confirm if any MPs have ever given a straight answer?
Hopefully all MP’s are on curfew awaiting the “knock” from the Met
Can we contract out their prison stay to Pakistan?
bootiful

Life is a jim divine chaos. Embrace it. No thanks!

Thanks for the link leading Light. Makes depressing reading. I am very concerned at this illegitimate politico feeling subservient when they should be servient to the people. Guido, can I plug Dan Hannon today please:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/personal-view/5587735/We-cant-have-an-election-until-its-too-late.html?state=target#postacomment&postingId=5589159
Spot on again Dan Han, and eloquent as always…
“The best course for Labour MPs would be to despatch their leader with the cold efficiency of so many abattoir workers, replace him with someone presentable, hope for a honeymoon and flatter the electorate with an early poll. Mandy, of all people, knows this perfectly well. So what the devil is he playing at? Viewed from the Westminster lobby, it seems an impenetrable mystery. From the perspective of Brussels, though, the answer is obvious. European Commissioners are obsessed with the need to keep David Cameron at bay until the Lisbon Treaty is ratified. “
Daniel Hannan is right on the nose as usual. I was wondering why Lord Fondlebum rescued the Prime Mentalist and now we know. Hannan’s reasoning stacks up!
Seems to be a severe shortage of lamposts and piano wire in my neck of the woods
Plenty of lamp-posts about, dont look for posts with lamps on, they now have cameras.
Salvatore could solvea your problema for the righta consideration.
seems to be a shortage of necks on on our lamp posts !
Which neck would that be?
SMALLWIDGE ! you mean who’s neck’s would that be ?
Jim, have you considered self diagnosing yourself as an obsessive compulsive shelf erector?
For those Guido Fawkes visitors who haven’t already, I would reccommend reading the Fraud Act 2006. Its really succinct and pertinent to familiarize with it
Hopefully many many fat hoons in the HoC will be hearing sections of the Fraud Act read out very very soon
We won’t be needing that rubbish.
And the beauty is that the troughers voted the Fraud Act into law. What was that about petards ?
they are rewriting it as we speak (not to include MP’S
LABOUR ACTIVISTS are to take the unprecedented step of calling on police to investigate one of their party’s MPs for alleged fraud. Jim Devine, the member for Livingston, will today face his local constituency party over his expenses claims.
The Sunday Herald has a copy of a “round robin” letter, signed by six Labour members in Livingston, which activists say will be handed to Lothian and Borders Police this evening.
It states: “We wish to formally lodge a complaint of fraud and embezzlement against Jim Devine MP.”
Devine also pulled out of a meeting with local councillors on Friday due to “ill-health”.
http://www.sundayherald.com/news/heraldnews/display.var.2512903.0.police_asked_to_probe_devine_expenses_claim.php
MP Jim Devine yesterday called the cops in to investigate his expenses – in a bid to clear his name.
The Livingston MP said he was “sick and tired” of allegations over his cash claims.
http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/2009/06/10/exclusive-expenses-row-mp-86908-21428811/
Jim, I have prepared the following statement on your behalf for your next press conference:
“If it falls to me to start a fight to cut out the cancer of bent and twisted journalism in our country with the simple sword of truth and the trusty shield of British fair play, so be it.”
Good luck old boy!
Bluster and pish. Like Blears and her posturing cheque in hand. The police need a complainant to start an investigation, and it would be him they investigate. Wanker.
The police do not need a complainant. They can simply demand a statement from the head of the fees office if they have reasonable grounds to suspect a crime has been committed. Perhaps the fees office should get a proforma MG11 ?
The poor Herald. On its last legs like the trougher Devine. Both in their death throes fighting to the bottom of the cesspit. Both aghast at what has become of them. Both Labour asslickers let loose to the wolves. Hope they both die a horrible death.
I bought the “inaugural” copy of the Sunday Herald and was physically sick whilst reading it at the Breakfast table. The vomit inducing sychophanty for the Labour party was truly nausiating. I have never purchased it since.
So you may ask am I surprised at the ferocious attack dog articles on those Labour Lovies which fill the Heralds Sundays ?
Well truth is I liken it to starcrossed lovers who have fallen out due to betrayal.
Anyone who has been divorced will know what I mean.
So Question is……what was this betrayal ?
Was it illness or a little to much medicinal WATER of LIFE ( Perhaps he forgot to shave)
Jim Devine is from exactly the same fat corrupt West Coast Scottish background as troughin Mick Martin
Good to see these useless hoons under the cosh but don’t expect to see Devine replaced by anyone better – Old Labour is riddled with as much moral corruption as the new version – and in the West of Scotland even more so.
Fat useless Hunts the lot of them
Hopefully the SNP will win the seat at the next election!!!!
I hope to God that’s what will happen in gordon’s seat next time around.
Gordon can then go off to teaching – ( subject – female teenagers – how to get pregnant and then claim max benefits for life) –
that seems to be Labour’s major achievement in office – doesn’t it !!!!!!
I couldnt see him being able to work in any job that requires interaction with people.
If he was to turn up at our school I would withdraw my children !
I would be ill served by most of the posters by bringing religion in to the discussion but the WEST COAST MAFIA has for fifty years been riddled by corrupt Catholic wheeler and dealers and any one with a modicum of intelligence has known this but their grip is so tight that if you protested your job in teaching or local goverment would be in serious trouble. Take it from me I learned the hard way>
So … do you want all these Scots MPs back or not.
Seems to me we’ve been mis-sold a bunch of self-serving mafiosa [your words] under the guise “of champions of the working class”. Its their votes that is keeping this whole edifice standing.
Free the English™
champions of the benefit class only!
As a Scot I have to admit you are correct. PS – Keep them all down
there.
If I were Scottish and if I lived in Scotland, I would vote SNP and get these Labour mafiosa out!
But I am English and I live in England, so I have no chance
Dont worry Charles, thats exactly what we are going to do ! We will deal with Salmond later !
Hear Hear!!
Let’s be precise here:
devine submitted receipts for works from an electrical company that doesn’t exist.
he submitted receipts from his local publican for 66METRES!!!! of bookshelving.
he has threatened to force a by-election because he was attacked in the press – hopefully to silence the criticism. GO FOR IT !!!!
He is the 5th Labour MP to be de-selected.
How many of them are going to be prosecuted ??!!!
No worries for oor Jim lad with the Scottish Polis if he gets the HANDSHAKE right!!!!!!!!!!
Jim lad is too long in the tooth to stand down at this stage; he still has a few
months before the next election to ‘maximise’ his ‘entitlements’.
Tony Blair influenced Brown’s decision on the Iraq inquiry. The poisonous, warmongering, useless fcuker just will not go away. And neither will Blair.
Disgusting.
The cowardly PM who walked away when the troops he sent to war were dying on the battlefield.
Blair is the most disgusting creature of them all.
This is the PM who saw two British bodies delivered to our Embassy in Bagdhad yesterday because he didn’t trust the SAS to do what they have trained for years to do and shown they are capable of many times in the past. Spineless cnut.
There is nothing more sickening than Bliar coining it in to the tune of millions as another poor sod is brought back in bits ! SHAME ON YOU TONY BLAIR !
My local Rag ( Doogie Alexander) and another Labour trougher get the local response – There is serious Poverty here – Paisley as a town centre is dying , shops are closing , high streets are empty, Teenage disorder is rampant , there is violent attacks every weekend.

Home of a magnificent church and Abbey

From Hero to Zero….
No mention of Andrew Neil ! Is that because of your anti-Tory blockage ?
He has given the Scottish press various explanations involving pubs and cash.
That’s only ‘cos you live down South, Guido.
Sometimes, up here…if you cash a cheque in a Pub on a Friday night, you can’t really remember if you gave the cheque to the Pub or to pay your Electricity bill.
If it’s the Scottish Police, he should be OK.
I’m not so sure we can add that to our database. Nice try though.
Fuck off that is not true !

Less o’ the f**kin sweerin….thirz ladies here an ‘at.
Devine is just a scapegoat. The tube wiz toast long ago.
Broon knew for months the SNP will take his seat at the G.E.
Just a sacrifice to yous rabbid Saxon hoors frae Big Gordie..
Ah wud pish masel laughin if the SNP took Big Gordie’s seat anaw!!!!!!!!
Brown is shittin himself that HE will loose hie own seat !
Brown has a history of not controlling his bodily functions at the best of times.
If he lost his seat that could be a trifle problematic as would have been opined in Barrhead at one time.
It was mentioned somewhere here the other day that the SNP are planning something rather big to make sure that’s exactly what happens at the election
I’m just waiting for the CPS to fall back on that famous excuse that its not in the public interest to prosecute!
Ann Keen apologist in the Hounslow Chronicle:
“It’s extremely rare for Ann to be off work due to illness, as she usually works from dusk till dawn in Brentford, Isleworth and Westminster, but these things do tend to sometimes happen to everyone.”
From Dusk till Dawn?
Is Ann Keen a vampire?
She’s certainly been feeding off her constituents!
Brown certainly has the look of the undead about him these days !
Well I fooking loved his hit “When you and I were Young Maggie”…so sod off and leave the guy alone.
GORDON BROWN TO BE ON SONGS OF PRAISE.

Using religion to political gains will not get him through the pearly gates.
I thought you were joking!
Jings! Whatever happened to ” we don’t do God ” ?
Sorry , I forgot , being ” son of the manse ” some how makes on Godly , by osmosis presumably.
He is going after the middle class grey vote – doen’t he realise they have all been crucified by interest rates at 0.5% and a complete loss of their savings income? If he turns up at the cathedral, he would be lucky to get away with a lynching!
The Great Lump of Misery is not actually going to enter a church, because of the obvious risks of stoning and exorcism.
Sick-making.
Proof beyond any doubt that Brown’s poltical career is a complete failure.
Failed politicos always follow the same pattern:
1. Overseas – try to look a big man abroad to hide failure at home.
2. The “Environment” – desperate for numbers, appeal to the loony vote.
3. “Find God” – desperate for numbers, a damascene conversion.
It never works.
I visited one of our companies facilities in Livingston a couple of weeks back and was amazed at how (in less than two years) the whole area has “died”. Where once there were high-tech companies and small specialist manufacturing plants – now there are just boarded up buildings with “For Let – May Sell” signs lying in the overgrown verges. The New Labour inheritance is plain for all to see, while the area’s local MP is everything I would expect of a Labour MP.
which is what ??
The same decadence can be seen in the east end of Glasgow where Labour
have been in control eight decades or more: It’s taken the Scottish electorate
a long time to realise the glib-talking lefties are conning them. The most
bare-faced liars imaginable. Their time is about up – they know it and are
already squirming to blame their ‘staff’ and finding safe places to hide. Their
bully-boy tactics in councils are about to come to an end too. I’d love to see
their faces when the long arm of the law settles on their shoulders.
Fake invoice from a fake company with a fake VAT number – He cannot even commit fraud properly. Time to increase the prison population
Devine is a goner. As for Uddin, it gets even worse. OK there is the south London flat she had designated as her main home which she had never lived in. But between 2001 & 2005 she was claiming for a property that didn’t exist, allegedly! Prepare HMP Holloway. There can be no doubt that this will be the main residence of the Baroness. Send her down.
Shouldn’t someone be taking her passport away in case she tries to disappear off to her Bangladeshi brothel permanently?
If she did do that, wouldn’t she be able to carry on claiming her H.O.L. wage indefinitely?
[...] As usual… Guido Fawkes gets his man: +++ Jim Devine MP Referred to Met Police +++ [...]
Charity begins at Hoon.
and while Im on, why the feck did John Smith get buried with the ancient Kings of Scotland ? That was a propaganda coup worthy of Goebells.
No balls Goebbels ?
Call me an old sceptic, but I predict that we will hear nothing more for many months and then it will be quietly announced that there will be no prosecutions. The reason given will be ‘insufficient evidence’, ‘not in the public interest’,'irresponsible leaks of information by the media prejudicing a free trail’ (i.e. deliberate leaks by the police),’frankly we can’t be arsed’ or ‘total politicisation of the Metroploitan Police’.
I’m afraid you’re probably right.
This Sunday Herald article may be of interest. “The Livingston MP claimed £2157 for “rewiring” his London flat after producing an invoice from a company that does not exist. The document also contained a bogus VAT number, dodgy postcode and fictitious address.”
We’ve all had tradesmen like that squire!
Dear All
What I like about the Jim Devine case is the way he has changed his story three times regarding shelves.
1/ The shelfs were billed as being in his office.
2/ The shelfs are in his London flat.
3/ The shelfs are in a basement of a pub.
All of these explanations are bogus, complete bullshit.
Devine can’t even get his witnesses to back his story.
I also hear that his former Union, Unison has been saying that there are no jobs at the inn for him.
He’s knackered!
I wonder if he will be struck off the nursing register as well as he previously was a nurse?

City bonus levels.
Jim Devine MP (Livingston, Labour)
“Will my right hon. Friend set aside time to debate the obscene bonuses paid to 4,000 staff who work in the City of London? The payments ranged from £1 million to £50 million, and this week it was reported that another individual received a payment of £58 million as a bonus. Most of that money, it is alleged, goes into offshore trusts, so not even the Treasury benefits from the payments. Those bonuses distort not only the housing market, but society, and surely something needs to be done.”
Jack Straw MP (Leader of the House of Commons)
“I understand my hon. Friend’s concern. I think that everybody in the House believes that people’s rewards should be proportionate to their effort and achievement, and where payments are very high, those making the awards have to be very clear that they are justified.”
Jim has taken guidance from none other than the leader of the House. He obviosly felt that his “bonus” was proportional to his “effort and achievement”.
[...] +++ Jim Devine MP Referred to Met Police +++ Hopefully Jim will have got his story straight by the time they ask him to explain the fake invoice from a fake company [...] [...]
The standard of political comment on this site (both Guido’s and the public’s) makes me despair. You truly got the politicians you deserve.
