No! No! and No again!!
We must not have another Labour speaker that will bend his / her will to the present Government and this PM which is absolutely, totally and utterly NOT acceptable. END OFF!!!! .
Not only do this government not meet the demands from all quarters of us the public to submit to a GE they then try to install a total troughing MP who is as good as there for life and un-opposed. P*SS in our faces why don’t you?
Are you the voter (when allowed to vote) willing to accept such crap??? yet again????? The Irish referendum is close its our last chance…it truly is.
Remember however the victor I was told “always wrote the history books” ery topical I think.
Look on the brightside. A Beckett speakership will be a farce from start to finish. She will be a disaster at the job anyway (strident, smug, slightly dim), and then after the next election she will become the 2nd speaker in 300years to be dumped. Laughs all round!
On the downside – she will continue to get paid and win a golden pension. The Hnaging baskets alone ought to make her unfit for office, so lord knows what anyone voting for her is thinking.
Oh yeah, and the House of Parliamwnt will look to have finally lost what passes for any collective marbles it might once have had. What a result for democracy!
After QT
I know she won’t give the speakers chair back
Tory jealousy harboured against Mrs. Beckett is understandable in light of her political distinction and beauty. However, bearers of such thought stand in the condemnation of the Tao for what heaven’s savant Lao Tzu called “the littleness of their soul”.
Men have drudged for eons to repair the spiritual defect produced by this “littleness”, and at last men as wise and magnanimous as Maynard Keynes and Attlee gave us a political solution – Socialism – for the mid-twentieth century, and later wits (say, the ever polite Ben Elton) and inventors (I would here introduce myself) devised partisan comedy-sketch tirades and Graphics Fidelity as the respective cultural and technological solutions for our age of this eternal evil.
Fake CH; getting a bit tired perhaps?
Charlie
As a friend mate you really need to change your supplier. Just trying to look after you but whatever is in that shit you are being fed at the moment, well its just really giveing you delusions of a leader. People in the normal world don’t see it the way you do. They never really have.
Hope this helps?
You smell funny
no thats the real C Smallwidge !
He’s rambling too much liquid refreshment, I will have to inform El Gordo
The face that launched a thousand starting tapes?
Parliament choosing a horse as Speaker is a plan to stable-ize our ‘democracy’.
Charles, you are truly a pygmy amongst giants.
Please, please, please honour your promise….
Beauty?

Slightly dim?
SLIGHTLY dim?
SLIGHTLY DIM?
Did you not see old horse face on Question Time where she justified spending all that money on plants?
She is the living embodiment of the freat Harriet’s “Jobs for the Girls” scheme whereby talentless people will be given posts so long as they are female. And Labour of course.
Some females have been known to have had the Labour reassignment surgery in order to get a head.
Now look here people. If Mandy says we will have Fecket for speaker, we will. Our great Lord and Master, The Phoney Blair has spoken.
Widders has a lot of tje people votes, which means she ain’t gonna win.
well, if Caligula can make his horse a consul….
I suggest Rich & Mark find new positions.
As Cleaners maybe,cartoonists they are not.
Quite unfair – that’s the best-drawn Britannia I’ve seen all this weekend.
Labour removed Britania from the coinage. ( bastards!)
Labour ended the Royal Tournament (but retained the one in Edinburgh)
Labour robbed the red rose of England (now discarder job done)
Labour is selling us to Europe.
240 Days to save the UK!!
bad calcualation, with apologies
239 Days to save the UK
Labour scrapped the Royal yacht.
It’s up to the rest of us, while there are still enough to make some difference, to put these all back again.
I believe that’s meant to be Bercow with the Monday club reference
Can’t be Bercow, he’s about a foot shorter than his missus.
box on a standing he is
take a good look at it as from this year liebore have dropped britania from our coins . one of the last great british symbols confined to history just like our once great nation !
Caricatures are meant to be grotesque, but recognisably the caricaturees!
Political cartoons should be funny.
These by Rich and Mark are neither!
DELETE!
all the comments are about beckett ! this picture although badly drawn and unfunny is i guess berco and his wife i think ?????
Agree – WTF is that cartoon about? Who are the people?
Guido, your cartoons are shite.
standing joke really they are always bad which makes them fun. Deal with it
I’m sure shortly that someone like Guido will offer your money back for your snbscription to this site
Kind regrds
If Guido’s paying these two then he’s the one who needs a refund!
You seem to know Guido very well.
Swollen head?
I suspect Guido can answer for himself.
What are you, his frickin’ minder???
Just like the parliament they comment on then
Take off the Britannia motif; as it over values one whilst attributes unnecessary values to the other
not even a cartoon
However they are clearly much better at what they do than most MPs, so Mr Fawkes, you should give them a big pay rise, and don’t go easy on the perks and allowances!
I assumed the woman(?) was a rendition of Esther Rantzen about 90 years ago and the cartoon some sort of obscure allusion to the ambitions of petty luvvies. I must admit that despite being no supporter of either the Broons or Camerloons I would rather live under the ayatollahs that rancid the rabbit.
Looking at those two ugly mugs over the weekend I suspect the answer would be “back to back”
OK, I give up. Who the fook are this morning’s R & M characters supposed to be?
It’s Esther Rantzen and US Democratic Presidential Nominee John Kerry. The caption is baffling though.
That is funnier than the cartoon.
here here !
Matlis and Paxo?
No no, it’s the bint from ‘Cold Case’ and Sacha Distel
Dear witty Tory,
Ha!
What about “Call Me Dave” amorously inclining towards that fool Anneka Rice.
Such a scandal would blast his career to the premiership into rubble.
Hooray!
Yours sincerely
George Laird
The Campaign for Human Rights at Glasgow University
i thought anneka rice was a supporter of new liebore ? if not she’s still got a better arse than manky mangledbum ! i know you wont think so ! AND AS FOR YOUR HUMAN RIGHTS ! WHAT ABOUT MY HUMAN RIGHTS TO LIVE IN FREEDOM IN THE COUNTRY I WAS BORN IN AND NOT IN A FEDRAL STATE OF EUROPE !
Fuck off!
You still have not told us which human rights are infringed at Glasgow University and what you are campaigning for.
The University denies any knowledge of you and has made it clear that you are nothing to do with them.
The right to leave Glasgow if they had any sense.
Humans are in the minority in Glasgow. Full marks to George for taking up the baton on behalf of these incomers.
So is athlete’s foot.
There will be outrage whoever wins the speaker position. 4/10 for the cartoon
You are right. And if it is Becckett in particular then this will be a collective V-sign to those of us outside Parliament who have been disgusted by the greed, the thieving of taxpayers’ money and the downright criminal actions of some. Beckett is distinguished as one of the very worst troughers who is completely unrepentant (her performance on QT was proof of that) and her ministerial incompetence ruined many a farmer when she presided over the farce that was in charge of the Rural Payments Agency. She was then promoted to Foreign Secretary as a reward for the shambles over which she presided!
It is difficult to imagine anyone with less skill and motivation to carry out the wholesale, sweeping reforms to Parliamant that we so desperately need.
Nadine?
Even sleazy Stephen Pound was on the radio this morning complaining that Labour whips were trying to fix the vote on behalf of Horseface. The whips are putting the fix in because they want to control select committee appointments, apparently.
So much for ‘transparency Brown’. This lot have no fucking clue whatsoever.
P/S the cartoon is bollox. Is the bloke is supposed to be Bob Monkhouse or Lionel Blair?
I thought it was Tony’s ghost.
No one in their right mind would believe Brown when he talks about “transpararency”. It’s just a word he has been told to use in his speeches.
Phrases like ‘open and transparent,’no return to boom and bust’, ‘it’s the right thing to do’, ‘listen and learn’, ‘draw a line under it and move on’, sleaze – it’s in Labour’s D-N-A’. all recyclable NuLabour soundbites.
They are all pocket-size, meaningless claptrap.
Labour investment – tory cuts, getting on with the job, they have no policies, not the time to do nothing, they would do nothing,
More trashy ZaNuLabour soundbites that mean nothing.
dont forget it started in america ! whiter than white !the party of the many ! in real terms ! prudence ! etc etc !
Comrade Brown doubleplusgood duckspeaker.
And there will be no return to boom under Gordon Brown
In McBust’s case it means you can see right through him.
Well if Stephen Pound said it – it MUST be true.All we need now is Dennis MacShane !!
My opinion regarding the coming election of a temporary Speaker is that an endorsement from Gordon Brown should decide all hesitation. If he esteems the worth of a particular parliamentarian, then his judgment is perfectly conclusive.
Isn’t it amazing that Guido, as ringleader of the Tory-Libertarian online banditti, clicks his fingers and the Muppets follow like enslaved intellectual serfs.
The motive principally inciting all this Tory opposition to Brown’s sterling Socialist successes is racism. I would hoarsen my already strained voice reciting the instances on this blog of racist remarks against unblemished and selfless Socialist crusaders targeted by Tory malice as associates of Gordon and friends of the common man.
These right-wing cretinous toffs grow more vile and stupid each passing day.
I knew Gordon was a brown but I didn’t realise he was a paki.
Is this sarcasm, irony or stupidity?
wot?
You scouse git you did whatever you did at the same time as me
Are you deaf? Is this sarcasm, irony or stupidity?
Pardon?
Sarcasm, I feel, especially given the screen name.
Well done, I take my hat off to you. It must be really difficult for you to use so many words to write such meaningless bollocks. Mind you, champagne socialists are usually pretty good at that.
Got to love how you chaps like to paint anyone that doesn’t conform to your odious racial engineering program as a’racist’ – Absolute bollocks – and, considering that it was traditional Labour heartlands that swung to the unmentionables, a rather dumb assertation that it is the ‘deep south’ (traditional Tory Heartlands) that are hotbeds of rascism.
Besides; WTF has your purile comment got to do with that crappy cartoon?
PUERILE! (apologies for shouting)
oops… my apologies (and thanks for pointing it out)
Neph *big on linguistic improvement and (now) partially deaf*
good wind up i hope even aliebore cretin with a couple of braincells would not be so keen to see Mc twat stay put now hurry off and sign on ,then back to bed with you !
When all else fails and you’re desperate, play the race card….
No Leader But Gordon. You are right at least in one respect, ‘an endorsement from Gordon Brown should decide all hesitation.’
Anyone endorsed by Gordon should be automatically disqualified without hesitation.
this must be irony, no one can be this stupid – can they ?
Ah democracy, only for me and no one else. Socialists, democracy is only for them. Already planning to fix the next elections, taking lessons from Iran, especially how to deal with dissidents.
High time you darkies were back in slavery
NLBG – you are Leg-Iron’s lefty trolling alt, and I claim my £5.
Click on name.
Go to website.
Turn off serious and boring.
Read.
It is the sort of parody that carries with it the threat that one day it may become reality, if it is not reality already.
Ridicule is an effective weapon against politicians and it should be encouraged.
Fuck off Dolly!
you see i was right in a previous comment. brown,mugabe, stalin, hitler, ahmadinnerjad,ceaucesceau,pol pot,mao tse tung, history is littered with people like them, poIiticians dont do democracy, well they all do really, BUT ONLY THEIR OWN VERSIONS OF IT.
you must repeat after me, brown is a trye great leader, brown is a true great leade…
Globos meos lambe!
when are you free? would you like my mobile number?
Fabriacate diem!!
Sod it!!
I think I’ll move back to England now I’m crap so I can claim the dole.
No reward for failure!
unless you are speaker
Or Mr or Mrs Kinnockio!
Interesting choice of website for childrens name tags???
Someone call
You know kids called Cartoon?
An Akeley in the trouser told Wee John that if he didn’t get into Maids Moreton pdq there’d be a Great Ouse.
“Stop!”, cried S. “Leckhampstead first or I shall call prcoceedings to a Bufflers Holt!”

Not currently. Fully decimal. see? You are I take it, unfamiliar with the geography of the constituency in question?
Equate me with those Fukke-Pygges again and I’ll have you deported.
Only if you get off all those boxes
Rich and Mark please note for future reference.
Definition of a cartoon..
A drawing depicting a humorous situation, often accompanied by a caption.
A drawing representing current public figures or issues symbolically and often satirically: a political cartoon.
A preliminary sketch similar in size to the work, such as a fresco, that is to be copied from it.
An animated cartoon.
A comic strip.
A ridiculously oversimplified or stereotypical representation.
One can only assume that Rich’n'Mark’s rates are cheap.
i know who it is ! Grant and Anthea bovey !
Could be Pete and Jordan.
Wheres my crayola?
It’s about time our kind had a say in politics.
‘Our kind’???? Dobbie whatever do you mean???
Politics is a dirty job. I believe we should leave it to the inferior politicians in Westminster and maintain our superior distance so that we can continue the more important job of constructive criticism.
or building a 5 mile high wall around the place and then filling it with water.
Isn’t global warming supposed to do that for us?
Apparently there will be vineyards in Northumberland and London will be flooded. So where’s the downside?
I’ve just thought of the downside – eight million asylum-seeking Cockneys.
Get those hands out of your trousers and then you can ask
we can offer you couch-eling
come on hazel do as the motorbike seat say’s and get your hands out of my trousers !
And all the other trousers
As I’m seven feet tall Hazel doesn’t have to get on her knees. But she does take her teeth out.
I know I’ve only had one cup of tea yet this morning – but who is Tony talking to in that cartoon??
I thought it might have been Jacqui but then I’ve never seen her smile so I don’t think that can be the case.
it’s John and Sally isn’t it?
Nell
It really does not matter. He could put the friggn Pope up there we would still yak about whatever this? whatever that?
Personally I thought it was a blind date commercial but when I ran my mouse pointer over it nothing happened.
(sigh!..) :>)
Did not realise simon cowell and esther rantzen were an item?
The cartoonist’s ought never to have given up their day job because, at first glance, I am totally baffled.
Keep up pleeese..apparently its Anthea Turner and her sueeze woz his name Bovine or something?
I wish I could spell squeeze (whats in this vino?)
We’re all up the junction
Sorry I am not very bright but I am trying to work things out : In the top left corner I can see Britannia, with the usual trident, the lion, and the Union Jack shield. Today is Monday and the Monday Club is a Tory group. Got it so far. The man and the woman are unrecognisable and therefore, if there is a joke, it is totally wasted on me and way over my head. I feel like that soppy bird in the Vicar of Dibley. Is this so-called cartoon worth the trouble explaining what it is all about and would it still be funny after all the explanations?
Sorry but these guys are hopeless.
The whole bloody Speaker Election is a farce from start to finish whoever is elected !
Who is Lewis Hamilton?
SURPRISE!!!!
He’s behind you
I can’t see that far back and the light’s not so good.
Ooh err missus
Lewis is that chap who was English last year. This year he is British but if he carries on the way he is then he’ll be described as “West Indian” next season.
I think it safe to assume that only Guido can see a glimmer of artistic merit in these crapulent excuses for cartoons.
As someone once very eloquently put a while ago
“its his train set”
Hat tip to whoever that was.
Congratulations to the British duo of Jason Button and Louis Hamilton on coming one-two in the South British Grand Pricks
I shall be writing to the two young, British heroes at their homes in Monaco and Geneva.
Bloody shame that the BBC took over the F1 franchise. At least the regular ITV commercials during the race made it slightly interesting.
It’s the one sport where drugs would make it more interesting.
I think the commentators should inhale some nitrous oxide that would be funny. (I know only people in drag use it but like the cartoon it is my artistic licence to make such an assertion which most won’t get)
Absolutely brilliant. Will I tell ya, we all want in England the nice thing the Scots have – free prescriptions etc – but we want to get them by voting in the nasty party!
My England, “grow a brain wiiya, vote Labour”???###!!!
I thought it was Tom Bradby and Selina Scott. Maybe Rich & Mark should write the names on the cartoons, in the same way bad impressionists announce who it is they are about to be.
I look up to John Bercow.
Only when standing on Max Moseley’s head
I if I drew shite like that I’d get spanked.
Wouldn’t it be better if our Gordon called a general election and the result known before electing the new speaker. Afterall it’s quite likely that Mr of Mrs New Speaker could be in the dole Q shortly.
gordon doesn’t do elections, that would be too democratic and democracy is only for the socialist communists
Margaret Beckett has already made it clear that she doesn’t want to change the expenses arrangement.
That alone should prevent her from getting the job.
What was it she said on QT when asked if she would pay her ill gotten gains back ?
“No I won’t”!!!!
Full of integrity that lady!!!!
The only reason she paid back a meagre £1300 was because her exorbitant expense claims were brought to light.
She, and many others, wouldn’t have bothered otherwise.
But beckett is innocent, when she claimed for hanging baskets she meant equine hay baskets not the floral kind.
Every time I think of that £600 for hanging baskets – 60 baskets at £10 each !!!! –
I get this vision of her caravan toting down the motorway adorned by all these flowers – baskets swinging away!!!
What was she going to do with them all ???? And who was going to keep watering them – it would be a full time job!!!!
Didn’t she put the watering on expenses?
an auditor should go round and count them ! i mean come on most people have one or two , four at top’s but fucking 60 ! how big is her fucking house ? maybe they adorne the frontage of Mr devine’s shelves spaced at 1mtr apart 60 meters of shelves 60 basket’s simple ! sorry but you really are a one hanging basket !
£72,000 of our money (as well as a grace-and-favour residence) should just about cover it.
If you thought Gorbals Mick was bad then you aint seen nuffin yet.
is she pulling said caravan?
Is the whole ‘hanging basket’ thing a euphemism for furry hammocks?
Whichever sort of baskets they were, it’s not the baskets that should be hanging.
Nah. She meant for the expense of hanging all those honest, hardworking baskets at the Daily Telegraph
turkey’s will vote for christmas after all !
Turkey’s will vote for christmas after all !!!
i’m suprised she didn’t claim for all her fascial plastic surgery and beautician work on expenses !
Surely if that were the case the taxpayer would deserve a refund?
Not even she has the [face lifted] cheek
She coudn’t put it on expenses. She had no invoice. The practicioners saw the results of their handiwork and, out of shame, refused to charge.
O/T Sorry!!! Widdy for Speaker because she has said that she won’t accept the gold plated pension that goes with the job and that she will step down at the GE so that the new 2010 mp’s can elect a speaker of their choosing.
Bercow and Becket haven’t indicated they would be prepared to step down in 2010 if the new parliament wanted it nor did they say they would decline the gold plated pension if they were only in the job for a short space of time-
well that follows!!!!
The Speaker doesn’t have to step down at the next election, but the fact that AW has indicated that she would be prepared to, would get her my vote. Apart from an extremely good salary, the Speaker also gets a grace-and-favour apartment in London, and probably considerably more perks on top of that.
Why would Bercow and Beckett worry about anything other than their own ends? It just wouldn’t be worth their while, would it!
I’m with you Nell! Widdicombe is the only decent one amongst the. But if it’s Beckett that will reinforce the electorate’s understanding that Labour government are just taking the piss and don’t give a monkey’s about us. Brown can’t help it – his control freakery is ingrained….he is incapable of even the pretence of doing the right thing….
Why the constant use of inappropriate quotation marks?
I don’t see any “quotation” marks. Perhaps you mean exclamation marks or apostrophes?
Off off topic, but worth a smile. Telegraph
“Cruise liner weighing 122,000 tonnes squeezes along river with inches to spare
A 37m-wide cruise ship to due enter service in Southampton has squeezed along a river in Germany with just inches to spare.
At its tightest point along the course, there were just four metres – not enough room to park a London black cab – between each side of the 317m-long, 37m-wide ship and the riverbank.
Reminds me of the fated ‘Metric V Imperial’ Mars landing
A London black cab is 4m wide??????
The way they are driven, yes.
Cabs like cars are parked lengthwise.
It needs to be, now fook off.
“Just inches”?
Four metres is 157.48 inches. Not much “squeezing” there.
O/T So the EU is to blame for ‘Britain 2009′’s pathetic state?
Take naturalisation, granting citizenship to residing foreigners. UK will grant 200,000 this year whereas in Germany with a larger population, in 2008 fewer than 100,000 foreigners were granted German citizenship, down nearly a fifth on 2007. This is a sovereign political matter and one that the British people if they had wished could have influenced.
Take the size of the public sector. The number of people employed in the public sector in Germany fell by 35,000 last year. Compared to ten years ago there were over half a million fewer persons employed, 4.5 million compared to 5.1 million. Exact figues for Britain are hard to find but it is widely accepted that in the last decade public sector employment in UK kas risen conservatively by three-quarters of a million and perhaps over a million if quangoes are included.
This has nothing to do with the EU but rather a complete failure of the British wealth-generating, private economy.
I believe this happened on labours watch, with all the added on social costs to employment, why would any one want to start a businees up here any more.
labour = death of the UK
One wouldn’t under the current regime but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t many waiting to start a business or to attempt funding or university interest. Just because we have a Labour, facist government doesn’t mean we automatically lose our ingrained and hereditary genius and flair for inventiveness or problem solving. We are waiting in the wings for the right, business friendly atmosphere.
i fully understand that but you might be waiting in the wings for a long time. liebour dont do democratic elections, if they did, they wouldnt be there
Is it true that Gordon keeps his spare glass eye up Mandelson’s arse? – I was told it was something to do with Brown wanting to keep an eye on the browners.
you jest, but I bet Brown’s brown eye had found its way up Mandestones brown eye, maybe just to keep it warm
Wonder if Sarah has to watch it staring at her from a glass of water at night. No wonder the poor woman looks knackered.

Dewsbury used to be in England, but now its not, you’ll only get more of the same.
If ever there was a better case for a police investigation then I would like to see it!
Is there a postal vote option?
My preferred option is to hang all the bastards.
Oh! Dear!
It can’t be easy to caracature people who are unknown to the outside world.
Beckett? Mrs 11K Gardening Bill Beckett?
What? As the new Speaker?
Cleaning up parliament is she?
Once again, the parliament pigs look after their own skins and fook the country….
Revolution, NOW!
There’s nothing wrong with the Monday Club, it’s just those that leave it that are weird
The whip marks are starting to show. And Iraq comes back to haunt Gordon Brown
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5594898/MPs-expenses-Speaker-Martin-claims-he-could-have-survived.html
Speaker Martin saying he could have stayed on and won the fight
How about he now ponies up most of his pension just like Sir Fred?
I just read that too! The man is utterly deluded. David Irving has nothing on him for revisionism.
Mind you, apparently Brown says he’ll “lead Labour to victory” DT.
They’re all deluded.
Speaker Martin said he wanted to spend more time with his family. Keith Vaz said he was leaving for health reasons. Two of the most unlikely stories if ever I heard them.
It has been reported that the public are so incensed with MP’s behaviour, that they have been sworn at in the street. Poor dears.
You really do reap what you sow,
Are these health reasons regarding Vaz, every time people hear him speak he makes them sick?
Labour accused of skulduggery in the process to replace the Speaker.
“Senior Labour MPs said they were being put under pressure to endorse Mrs Beckett, the former foreign secretary, in today’s secret ballot to chose a successor to Mr Martin. “
Don’t these people have minds of their own? Put under pressure? By whom, and more importantly, how?
PS
Wunderful word is that, skulduggery. Skul…dugg…errrryyy aghh!
Flange and Akimbo, shorter but just as satisfying.
Bombardier. Got to be up there for the nouns.
And pigs might fly….or reform Parliament.
OK, I give up: who are the people in the cartoon?
Ester Rancid and Bruce Foreskin Face.
The woman with the pussy is Britannia. As for the other two…
Who are the people in the cartoon supposed to be?
These ‘cartoons’ are the crapiest pieces of crap from crapsville.
Are these cartoons knocked up in five minutes every Monday morning as the ‘artists’ have been on the piss the night before? They are dross.
Been on the piss, throw up on a piece of paper, hey presto, a topical cartoon.
And no Matt today to make up for it…
RICH and MARK are to cartoons what HALE & PACE were to comedy.
Or Little and Large..
or French and Saunders

beiautifauiul(doesn’t matter how you spell any more so i just put my vowels where i want to) day for a lovely swim on obama beach.
i expect to see the horse installed in the pig-sty , by the stasi elite,when i get back.
I’ll have a guess at John and Sally Bercow.
Either that, or Guido is having a quiet smile at NewGirl and Anonymous Misogynist. (I think NG is almost certainly better looking than that, though.)
Ha Ha bloody hope so !
And so am I!
To be fair they’re little worse than Martin Rowson and his clumsy sub-Robert Crumb cartoons for the Guardian and elsewhere. There are however some really good cartoonists around and cartoons are cheap! Come on Guido, start spending more of that advertising money on the blog and less on gin!
A new Speaker isn’t the answer. The problem is MPs who’ve never had to hold down jobs in the real world
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1194592/MELANIE-PHILLIPS-A-new-Speaker-isnt-answer-The-problem-MPs-whove-hold-jobs-real-world.html
Who will end up being chief trougher? The one who wants to carry on troughing, so any one of them really.
i guess because of the stasi police the horse will end up in charge of the pig-sty.
Oh Dear. It is gentle Mr Bercow of course. He started off as a rampant Monday Club member, and has been drifting left ever since.
The woman opposite looks not totally unlike dear old “Syph Sal” now his missus – but formerly a Westminster good-time-girl always up for a drink or two.
Which is odd, because when he took Lady Dalmeny to Conservative selection meetings pretending she was his fiance we all thought it was because he was gay.
who the fuck is that?…Aladdin Sane?
Well adjusted lamp cleaner.
GuidOrcs Oaf,
Serious question:
Why do you tag this abysmal drawing as a cartoon?
Oh shit. If you don’t like it, it must be funny.
slip some dosh on Sheppers
Really? Don’t know much about him. Thought Beckett was a shoo-in?
Be quick he looks at deaths door.
think you have a point, Shepherd could be the main, good odds
just had a decent 3 figure punt on Richard Sheppard on the basis that he is fairly clean and decent. Widders would be good but would be short term, so Sheppers it is
Shepherd, sorry
Democracy is a five minute shit storm every five years to elect representatives who can’t change laws now handed down to us by the EU.
So what is the point of Parliament if it is nothing more than a giant cash machine for 650 lucky people and their relatives?
Can you think of one piece of legislation passed by Labour that you would have missed had it not been passed?
Probably buried the bad news on a good day.
he needs to draw a picture of a horse, resembling the horse, you know the one,sitting in the speakers chair, with all the little foals around her,presiding over a house of commons full to the brim with pigs. This will give us a pretty good accurate picture of day to day events in the sty. i’d do it but i cant draw
Apparently that is not a prerequisite.
You know what? I no longer give a damn…..Go on Guy blow it up
The light has just dawned. Guido has taken a leaf ( complete tree perhaps ) out of the Guardian book of blogging.
He has noticed that whenever Polly waxes lyrical ( witters ) about labour, the comment counter has difficulty keeping up as the world desperately needs to comment about “how crap….. etc.etc.”
The written word would risk a copyright challenge but a cartoon on the other hand………..
As everyone can clearly see in todays papers the MP’s think it’s business as usual and everything has blown over.
These people will just carry on and on in their corrupt ways as they know we are too chicken to do anything.
That french geezer had it right during the French revolution, these people are past saving and redemption the only thing they will understand is cold steel de-attaching their heads from their necks.
Times have changed, we are not so barbaric now, warm the steel up first.
..and perhaps a nice cup of tea and piece of cake before they go to the gallows.
Just wanted to say how much i despise them
I’ll second that.
Useless corrupt tossers
Check this every Monday instead…

Not sure who the guy in the glasses is, was he in the Muppet show?
ZZzzzzzzzz………………..
Is that a french letter?
One of these fine days, probably after the election, Boobie will wake up.
She’s off:
A quick trough before Bechers Brook , over Foinavon passing the complete outsiders and around the Canal U Turn if you want to, onto Valentines Brook, has a quick look, no takers there, Clears The Booth with some extreme whipping and onto West Head soon to be renamed heading West and now she approaches The Chair……
And afterwards back to the caravan to find that a couple of Scousers have nicked the wheels.
She doesn’t need a caravan. A hackney carriage is a better fit.
meeeeeoooowww !!
But very funny
Bit of a challenge for the Scallies, though. I wonder which Liverpool pub you can get cheap hackney carriage wheels in?
Ha Ha Ha!
How on earth is that old ratbag Beckett even in the frame? I thought that Gorbals was kicked out for being unable/unwilling to sort out the expenses scandal – yet here we have a possible replacement almost as bad.
Not only has Beckett helped herself to large sums of taxpayers money, the greedy cow is completely unrepentant. She has to claim thousands and thousands of pounds on gardening because shs is so terribly busy, don’t you know.
And she is not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, so her spell as Speaker will be as much of a farce as Gorbal’s was.
Beckett for Speaker – just say neigh
Oborne & Carswell appear to go along with The Master, so momentum is gathering for Sheppers.
Guido, why have you posted a cartoon of John Kerry and Noel Fielding on your blog?
seriously RichandMark – Youcantdraw.
Bercow must be lying about his age.
I was at Embra uni in 1974/5 where he was a weel-kent face.
If he is now 46 that makes him about 11/12 at the time!
Beckett is a local MP here in Derbyshire, and a renowned caravanner = limited ambition, small mind, slow moving.
Typical Labourite, in other words. Just the girl to carry on Gorbals Mick’s good work. after the speaker election it will be business as usual for our masters – lining their pockets and doing nine tenths of F* all for it!
How tall are Bercow and his iwfe? I thought Bercow was about 5′ and Sally about 6′, however the BBC website has a ‘guess Bercow’s height competition and that gives his height as 5′6, which must make Sally about 6′6.
That totty in’t yobos car. Is it Tommy Cooper ?.
