+++ Standard : Cabinet Resignation Rumoured +++

Story here.  Paul Waugh says:

In the last few hours, the rumours have been swirling around again that a Cabinet minister could quit in protest at Gordon’s leadership. The plotters have certainly asked a sympathetic minister to do so – but whether he will do so is another matter.

UPDATE : Told by a weary Labour loyalist, that it is “probably bollocks, who knows…”.

        It’s all kicking off then is it? The Tories are already in election mode and putting their case to the country. Meanwhile, Labour are fighting within themselves and are about to start a major bout of naval gazing. It won’t look good for the government.

        By the time Labour have sorted themselves out, the Tories will probably have sealed the deal.

          Lord Fondlebum may well be naval gazing (well, hello sailor) but the rest are probably navel gazing.

          • Gooey Blob says:

            I stand corrected, silly mistake to make.

            You know what I mean anyway. The government’s financial situation is dire, and yet they’re contemplating an internal party debate on who should be leader. Meanwhile, call-me-Dave’s lot will be out campaigning, looking more and more like a government-in-waiting.

            The Tories ain’t sealed the deal yet, but the way things are going, they soon will have.

          navel gazing!

          • Engineer says:

            No – naval gazing. They’re wondering how to afford the new aircraft carriers.

          • Don’t forget the crews either. 4,000 new sailors required just for the carriers. And the aircraft, that haven’t been purchased, that aren’t going to fit. I was speaking to admiral at new Years who said that the F-35′s aren’t even going to be bought now. Then he said something like ‘hush hush – mum’s the word – we’re only telling the yanks we are buying them to keep them sweet but its going to be another euro fighter project. The deal is already done.’
            Then he ran off.
            He may have been as pissed as I was so we will await confirmation.

            He did say that the carrier money has been ringfenced and Gordon is desperate to get as much labour marginal defence contracts signed as possible before the election. He also said that the carrier deal is structured in the usual MOD way, so that it is just as expensive to build them and they never leave port as it is to never build them at all.

          “The Tories are already in election mode and putting their case to the country.”

          With New Labour policies.

          President “cast-iron” Cameron is just Tony Blair with a better looking wife. After the election when Cameron gets into Number 10 it will be “business as usual”.

          It is time for a real Conservative to step forward.

            If Liebour get a new leader they will shit all over the Tories at the election.

            When did the Tory Reform Group take over the Conservative Party? They didn’t, they got CMD the leadership instead.

            True

          • Mr Ned says:

            WOW, Brown CURED global warming!!!

            The man is obviously a fucking genius.

            They have no reason to tax us for it now, and take all that tax off fuel and gas gussling 4×4 cars too. We need them just to get about in all this snow and ice.

          • Global Warming is all about spouting hot air says:

            The BBC has dealt with the “What Global Warming Con” just a moment ago by asking a Met Office spokesman to explain. Apparently they were referring to GLOBAL warming increasing by 2 degrees over the next 50 years and NOT the UK weather which will always be variable and have cold snaps but notwithstanding it is the sole responsibility of the UK to do the lions share by cutting our emissions by 40%(should help the gas shortage as well)thus enabling China to open a power station per day. Brown will no doubt also offer much more than any other leader(so desperate is he to be regarded as a “World Statesman”)that he is quite willing to reduce UK Industrial output to the 50′s level(that is the 1850′s pre-industrial revolution).Luckily he also manufactured the worst UK Recession for 60 years too to accomodate the proposed emission cut backs.

            So given the above its a miracle it’s only ONE Minister as the rest of them have just given up on Brown and have fallen in behind the Global view of him – he’s a total fantasist!

          • Global Warming is all about spouting hot air ..

            You know i’ve struggled to understand the UK’s position on all this, but now that you’ve put it like that it fits.
            As Sherlock Holmes said, eliminate all other factors, and the one which remains must be the truth..

            The truth appears that our leader is a deranged fantasist desperate to appear greater than his abilities.

          • Mr Ned says:

            The Met office is spouting more bollocks by stating that the cooling in the UK is irrelevant.

            The warming in the UK is part of the vast majority of the entire Northern Hemisphere that is going through a freezing spell for the last 2 – 3 weeks.

            North America down to Texas and Florida under snow. China, Russia, Most of Europe are all suffering this freeze.

            After spending tens of millions of pounds on their supercomputers (that produce the same amount of carbon as a small town) they cannot afford to admit that the models they run on them are woefully incomplete and therefore wrong.

            When modelling non-linear, chaotically random systems of intensely intricate and poorly understood systems, leaving out anything will render the model useless. Leaving anything out of a chaotic system means unreliable results. a non-linear, chaotic, random system with the complexity and admitted unknowns to the extent that our climate suffers even more from leaving ANYTHING at all out.

            Without knowing and accurately modelling ALL the start condition inputs in a complex random chaotic non linear system, it is impossible to project likely outcomes from an adjustment in any of those input conditions.

            Leaving out, or incorrectly modelling things like clouds, solar radiation, electromagnetic effects, undersea volcanos and the like render their models utterly and completely worthless as a projection tool.

            Models in climate research are only useful for adapting or tuning the hypothesis based on the observed evidence. Tweaking the evidence to match the theory is the opposite of science. It is fraud.

            This is why the Met will cling on to their flawed hypothesis to the very bitter (and bitterly cold) end.

          • Mr Ned says:

            “The warming in the UK is part of the vast majority of the entire Northern Hemisphere that is going through a freezing spell for the last 2 – 3 weeks.”

            Sorry, my bad, I meant:

            “The freezing cold in the UK is part of the vast majority of the entire Northern Hemisphere that is going through a freezing spell for the last 2 – 3 weeks.”

            DOH!

          • mention MMGW at Every opportunity says:

            Coldest weather since records began started as soon as the daft fucker suggested that he only had 50 days to save the World. The snow actually started on the day he arrived in Copenhagen. This man is the ultimate Anti-Christ. Being born into a religious family is perhaps the greatest irony. His malevolent evil knows no bounds. Does he have 666 on his scalp? He is the personification of the devil incarnate.

          • Can you believe this? says:

            The raw Data sets from Siberia were a lot easier to carry. Only data from weather stations proximate to Urban areas, and Spa Towns in particular were included. One singular tree fitted the required model on ring development. The other hundreds of thousands were ignored. I will furnish the tagged name of the one tree on request. It has become very famous.

            The recent survey from the BBC, Met Office said that 95%* of Scientists agreed that Climate Change would lead to World Catatstrophes and increased Volcanic Activity. Only the implementation of a single world currency Carbon Credit Scheme, and an array of Bin Taxes would alleviate the problem.

            *Based on at least 396 Government Grant dependent academics at CRU, IPCC, and various other Carbon Credit Trading organisations around the World. Sample taken in a late night exotic dancing establishment in Copenhagen 2009, where the beer and wine was free. Sponsored by Tony Blair’s new Carbon Credit Trust.

            Tony Blair to join Forces with Gordon Brown in his recently formed Windrush Enterprises. Windrush is a multi-purpose vehicle with the ‘Common Purpose’ of saving the World from AGW. (Al Gore Wankfest). Gordon has been brought into the the team as a World renowned expert in Fiscal Drag. (Tax Yield harvesting, and not cross dressing). “Gordon is likely to be unemployed this year, and it would be horrendous for his many special talents to be wasted”, said the spokesman for Windrush Enterprise Inc. Peter Mandelson added “What people don’t understand is that we can do what the fuck we want, whilst the majority of the population sit on their hands watching Strictly x-factor dancing on ice gardening and cooking repeats.”

        OK it works like this:

        Warm water comes up from the Gulf and across the Atlantic towards the UK and moves the energy north. Otherwise we would have frozen seas like Hudson Bay, which is the same distance north from the equator.

        The world is divided into zones of high pressure separated by jet streams which are bands around the world. The jet stream around the UK latitude generally dips south, in a wiggle, over the US and then north over the warm Atlantic waters picking up energy and water.

        Depending on the temperature of the water, and sun angle, it crosses on to the land mass of Europe anywhere from north of Scotland to Gibraltar.

        Currently it is hitting Africa!

        If it is far south, then the winds on the UK are generally northerly due to the high pressure that occurs between the jet streams. It is nothing unusual. It is a simple consequence of the jet stream being so far south.

        The waters off the UK and across the Atlantic are 0.5 to 1.5C colder than the average for the last 10 years.

        The issue is that, they have been cold for some months, (Anyone notice the lack of late summer?) and the Met Office in their want to talk up Copenhagen have suppressed this information so that the message to the Councils was incorrect.

        Therefore they have not stockpiled anywhere near enough salt to handle the winter. They have also put down way too much in the first weeks.

        So if like ours, the grit pile is nearly exhausted, then it is entirely due to the political tool called MMGW or CC peddled by the Met Office. They have been hijacked.

          The Met Office CEO is paid more than Brown. The Chairman is ex WWF, and a Watermelon. Both are running yet another Gummint Department that is not fit for purpose.

          In trying desperately to give out the message that we are all going to drown in a man made Armageddon due to the evil contaminant Co2. The post above may or may not be correct. The general thread seemed familiar.

          Climate Change is impossible to predict mathmatically. Even harder to run Computer Models on. We have all witnessed the shenanigans out of CRU, Copenhagen, and the BBC. Whether we think there is Climate Change that will affect our lives with or without sensible adaptation. Natural or Anthropothingy is not the point.

          Right now there is a solid case for Corporate Manslaughter charges to be brought against the Met Office and the BBC et al. The deliberate misreporting of weather conditions in the last 4 years has probably killed hundreds of people directly or indirectly.
          This is only in the UK.

            OfCon are also not fit for purpose – their regulatory section being supresssed by the the spin merchants and salesmen in the rest of dept.
            Front-line investigatory dept run down. EMC regulations and stadards being openly flouted.
            Misleading and devious responses given on some help-lines I suspect too. Soon no-one will be able to listen to shortwave broadcast for the amount or interference being caused by unchecked and spectrum polluting PLT (Power Line Technology) devices – e.g Comtrend and HomePLug. Such devices are known to interfere yet still allowed to be put on the market. Those suffering interference from them are being treated with increasing disdain.
            OfCon are effectively being asked to perform poacher and gamekeeper – with obvious results. These 2 functions need to be set up separately to ensure th future of the spectrum. Shortwave is used by many parties – military, civilian, broadcast (inc new DRM too) astronomers, Radio Amateurs. Shortwave is used during national and international emergencies for communications. It is there when other technologies fail. see:

            dear fan,
            thankyou for following my posts so closely and for listing the content of my comments so concisely.
            in the future, students of politics will study the pages of this place and discuss if and how this blog influenced the outcome of the 2010 General Election which will be a hung parliament and Esther Rantzen will win Luton South.
            but in a way you are right. I have commented here for some time now and have covered most aspects of British politics and policy and the danger of repetition is a dangerous and avoidable one and I have other matters I wish to concentrate on in my life.
            and so I depart and wish the reader well. it has been a blast motherfuckers.
            goodbye Guido.

    I guess, Dubai is already screwed, but this doesn’t bode well for their latest investment….

    ‘the Prime Minister visited the site of a new super-port on the Thames Estuary near Thurrock. With a £1.5 billion investment by DP World, it will form Europe’s largest combined deep-sea port and logistics park. The 1,500-acre park will create 12,000 construction jobs, and eventually 36,000 posts.

    The Business Secretary hailed the project as “a vote of confidence in economic recovery”. During a walkabout, Mr Brown said: “Nothing that the Conservatives say adds up, and that’s what the election is going to be about.”’

    Labour is fucked.

    Its polling is fucked. Its finances are fucked. Its credibility is fucked.

    The Labour front bench knows this. So does the electorate, who, unlike, the hypocrites in the cabinet, have not been immune to the effects of Labour’s demolition of our society, freedoms, values, and prosperity.

    Labour does not have a snowball’s chance in hell of winning the next election.

    There is simply too little time remaining to bleach the Brown stain from Labour’s character.

    They all know that Brown is the best weapon the Tories could hope for.

    Any minister who resigns now will see his bravery rewarded in the weeks to come with blame for the forthcoming electoral catastrophe. It’s a complete hiding to nothing. Why sacrifice a few extra weeks of never-to-be-repeated troughing?

    And what kind of fucking loser would the job?

    The Labour back-benches are a bunch of talentless shits with nothing to fall back on. I’m sure they know which side their bread is buttered. I’m sure they are worried about losing their jobs. But getting rid of Brown now will not help this. (And anyway, they simply do not have the power to do it, Labour being what it is).

    None of them are thinking about the country or even their party any more. They are simply dithering about how to save their own skins.

    Gordon will be dragged kicking, screaming, and lying through his teeth, to the election by nothing other than time itself.

        For a simple comparison of labour vs private enterprise thinking, you only need look at that big white tent in London.

        Labour gave us the Millennium Dome. The joke of millennium celebrations the world over. A big fat ugly fucktocracy of a bollocksy bunch of bullshit on a collosal scale.

        Private enterprise took the dome, turned it into the O2 Arena and it is the best concert venue on earth.

        Right there you have the difference. There is no excuse for it. Labour had a blank piece of paper to create something amazing. They instead took a semi-reasonable tory idea, dumbed it down, put the cost up, wrecked what was going to be celebrated inside and created a bland, meaningless, national embarrassment.

        Private enterprise took that embarrassment and created a massive success out of that wreckage.

    Even his core voters think that the labour party’s fucked things up worse than anyone else ever possibly could.

    Only fat cat union leaders and labour gravy-train politicians/civil-servants still think the labour party should be voted for, everyone else would rather have skewers inserted into their eyes than vote for labour.

    They are so completely and utterly fucked no matter what they do, and it’s all 100% their own fault for making everything they touch turn to shit the last 13 years due to their complete negligence, stupidity, and arrogance, and I’m going to enjoy watching what’s coming to them at the election.

    Ditching Brown is gonna be difficult because they will have to explain to Brown loyalists why they did it, probably losing more labour voters also they will still have to defend Browns record and by ditching him they are admitting that he screwed up the UK after they called him the economic whizz that saved us.

    Splits are over a core vote only campaign or one that reaches out to middle England.

    Balls favours the core vote campaign because he and others see it as the best way of keeping their seats, which is after all, the only thing that matters to them.

    Utterly selfish, yes, but it is the only chance he has of being re-elected, and he can’t be leader if he doesn’t have a seat.

    If you are in favour of a political castration, (removal of Balls) you could always donate to the campaign against him.

    Fears that Britain may be heading for its first sovereign debt crisis since the 1970s hit a new intensity after Pimco, the world’s biggest bond house, declared that it is starting to sell off its holdings of gilts.

    “The move is doubly embarrassing for the Government because the head of Pimco’s European investment team is Andrew Balls, brother of Schools Secretary Ed Balls, who is mastering the Government’s re-election strategy. The move will be seen as a financial vote of no-confidence in the Government’s handling of the economy.

    At least a foot in just 90 mins has fallen – but this is not new – I am 47 and can remember similar snow storms – global warming? Global bollocks more like.

    As for a Labour Minister resigning – bit like Himmler resigning in disgust at Hitler’s leadership.

    http://market-ticker.denninger.net/archives/1819-Hint-To-Other-Nations-Heres-The-Bill.html

    Britain is also weighing in with the following threat:

    Myners (the British Financial Services Minister) told the BBC that if Iceland voted against the deal, it would cut itself off from the global financial system and from International Monetary Fund aid for its economy, one of the worst hit by the world bank crisis.

    ‘The Icelandic people, if they were to reach that conclusion, would effectively be saying that Iceland does not want to be part of the international financial system, that Iceland doesn’t want to have access to multi-national, national and bilateral funding and doesn’t want to be regarded as a safe counter-party with whom to do business,’ Myners said.

    Mr. Myners, with all due respect (that is, none), may you be fornicated by a stallion.

    “The City” has for literal hundreds of years been the hotbed of bankster corruption, greed and fraud. Your nation is on record (in The Congressional Record no less!) as having sent bankster “representatives” over to this country shortly after it was formed for the explicit purpose of bribing our Congress into being recaptured after you lost the Revolutionary War!

    we get the entire lot of traitors out under guard and we sell their homes and clothes and all their worldy possessions except for a black jumpsuit, i don’t fancy seeing of the those shrieking females naked in all honesty

    we then use that money to buy lots of timber

    we then give them a taste of the lash and put them work making a huge hangmans scaffolding – not just any scaffolding a special self sustaining type

    this is how its works

    we have a phone in to see who starts it off

    the first man gets giving a 20kg weight that he need to hold above a certain height and is connected to his trapdoor, the minute he cannot hold it up any more,he does the hangmans jig

    (heres the brilliant part)

    as he drops through and snaps the rope taut, that taut snapping actions trips the trapdoor of the second man,the second man deals the third and so on and so forth like falling dominoes

    traitors executing traitors

    not only is it paid for out of their own pockets, the phone in for pole position goes back into the national tax coffers and it requires a single government employee to start it off

    and and its carbon neutral!!!!!

    Surely this is dependent on finding a Labour Minister with the guts to go up against the Dear Leader, we would have more chance in N.Korea methinks!

      Well she knows she’s lost everything politically after the the next GE so why would she resign now. She’s going to hang onto her salary, pensions contributions and generous expenses to the very last day possible.

      C’mon !!! Tessa and the rest of these labour people are bloodsuckers – they know they are going to lose the next election. They are each calculating how they can get the maximum amount of money out of the system for themselves before they are ousted from office.

    Apparently mandy is giving a big speech tomorrow praising gordon and saying how he’s the man for the future.

    You wonder how they live with their lies and deceit wouldn’t you ?? Any normal person would lose the will to live having to lie and lie again sucking up to this foul , jinxed, incompetent man in order to hang onto their jobs , generous expenses and priveleges!!!

    Guess they’re not normal!!

    Former SpAd says:

    You are all living in a dream world, no one will oust Gordon Brown out for the simple reason that the party leader is part liable for the party debts.

    If anyone had bothered to look at Labour party debts recently they would understand why my former sad act colleagues and bosses have put up with the ‘Cowdenbeath C**t’ (as he is known as in some circles) for so long.

    The only thing people are tense about in the party is if he decides to resign and leaves the bomb to blow up on everyone else as he runs to safety.

    The situation is like a deadly game of pass the parcel, no one wants to be passed the ticking time bomb of the party debt or for it to explode in their faces before a general election.

    That is why they will say and do ANYTHING to keep him in power for the moment.

      Not quite. The EU (pushed by Sarkozy) is planning to support a Mahgreb states style of economic union allied to the EU. Not as sisnsiter as it sounds as it is primarily designed to keep immigrants out of Spain and France.

      And the two that did speak from Govt Back Benches were against……

      That McCarthy Fry (Lab. Pompey) bint was utterly out of her depth. Redwood (notably) completely demolished her position. Still, the canon fodder got shovelled in at Division – as usual.

      Best thing the Conservatives can do is to make a pledge to reduce the Statutes by 50% over a period of four years – and to do it.

Guido chuckled at the following exchange he had with a Tory insider:

Tory: “What’s Labour’s position on the Syria crisis?”

GF: They say you should be talking to Russia.”

Tory: “Labour have been saying that since 1945.”



DisgustedOfMitcham2 says:

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.
