Lord Lamont told ITV News…
“I think the PM is just human and Ed Balls is a pretty irritating person”
I’ll have a bit of that!
They know this is their last throw of the dice, will be interesting to see how Mandy handles this.
Shame really, I want Jonah to go down with the ship.
W.W.
Nick Robinson said no coup. Bloggers made it up.
Well he’s telling Brownies!
I never thought I would say this, but good luck to Hoon and Hewitt!!
Nick Robinson = a poorly informed twat.
indeed, another total fail, toe nails…
He’s all right on Time Team, though.
Pieenar says different. Says there is a slim chance of success if enough support can be garnered.
Seems unlikely though. Statement at 1 pm. Hopefully a Howe type statement.
Another bomb plot. Note to Hoon.
PUT THE BRIEFCASE ON HIS CHAIR THIS TIME.
The problem is that if we get the Tories back, we all GO DOWN. If anyone thinks they will be good, for God’s sake look at their last record. Hewitt and Hoon are past failures in gov’t and because Brown saw that, and removed them, they are still smarting. Hewitt has said she is standing down anyway, so why this stab in the back to the Labour Party to whom both her and Hoon owe everything.
Stan the Man.
Great scope for Tory Bear who reported on Sunday that plots were a foot.
Um Scoop I think
You’ll need a bloody great scoop to clear this pile of shite!
Would be funnier if they were to speak out *of* Brown.
When exactly?
Oh yeah after PMQ’S, oops!
“New Labour? Nothing to do with us, honest… That Gordon Brown, eh? Who could possibly have voted for him?”
They’re only saying that cos he is brown
To endorse him? Pair of ass-lickers to date!
Calling for a secret ballot of all MP’s on Gordon’s leadership!
No wonder the Labour front bench looks so glum at PMQs
Ooohhh that’ll sting! Will it bollocks, Watching PMQs it makes no real difference who wins the GE, there all the same.
If you can’t spot the difference between “there” and “they’re”, sir, then I’m hardly surprised that you can’t see the difference between parties.
Disaster – until recently Hoon has been a term of abuse
Gordon never liked hoon.
As ‘Hoon’ has become a euphemism on Guido’s site, perhaps fellow bloggers could suggest what the term ‘Hewitt’ could be best used?
Cow Pat?
Like it – an alternative expression for ‘bullshit’.
I thought Geoff was grimacing during PMQs: shame he’s such a spent force politically
Was he ever a force?
He was in Wales, Charles: its a relative thing.
That just the Nobby Stiles
What I want to know is who is going to replace that twat Cameron?
Are there any real tories around? With the worst recession in living memory and th worst c u n t ever in no 10 ever , he is fuckin useless. God help us!
Grabs Popcorn.
Hewitt? She hasn’t collected her pension and fucked off back to Australia yet?
That makes Nick Robinson look like a bit of a cock. He was just on Daily Politics saying that this story was nonsense cooked up by Bloggers.
Toenails doesn’t have to do ANYTHING to look a bit of a cock! He is one!
Indeed, another lie from the BBC – a Global Warming Production.
The Guardian article says ‘Downing street insiders’ were describing rumours as nonsense. That just about sums up Toenails.
I knew you were right, Guido!
You were saying on an earlier thread, Jimmy?
Time for a re-brief, matey…
The BBC have no realised that the coup is on.
The BBC needs to be abolished. It will always be craven to the ruling party.
When was the last time the BBC exposed any corruption or sleaze? They are unable to do anything moderately close to breaking the rules. Only the paper medium takes corruption seriously. Besides the Telegraph, the Guardian at least deserves a modicum of credit for having a go at the dodgy ruling types.
Fusk. Gordon’s improved performance at PMQ’s might protect him from this attack.
Labour are all gutless bastards. This problem I’m afraid is inherent in the party system and the wages.
What improved performance?…same old Tory bashing and asking Cameron questions. His fumbling over words even worse than normal.
Yes, but it is better by his standards. Anyway, the British public are game for all this. Look at the bastards in Scotland – where I hail – who have this disease which forces them to continually vote labour, haemorrhaging any possibilities of curbing incumbency. Politicians need less job security!
It all buggers me up the wrong way.
So eloquent…
Better performance, still not answering questions, still looking a mess, a totla waste of space in need of putting out to grass and give the people a choice.
Brillo just announced it on DP..Hoon and Hewitt (sounds like a ’70′s TV show] writing to all Labour MP’s calling for the leadership issue to be resolved once and for all..”we can’t go on like this”….quoting Tory poster campaign slogan.
Delicious irony
sounds more like John Major’s “back me or sack me”
Except that Brown’s not the one saying it! He knows he is going the right thing and is beyond critisism
the letter isn’t anti-Brown, and so far we don’t know if Hewitt has been forced to resign
Resign from what?
More like Sir Anthony Meyer’s ‘back me and sack her’.
Hewitt & Hoon, the well-known comedy double act. I can’t see them inspiring Labour MPs to mount an attack on the Bunker.
Now Robinson saying there is a coup, useless tit.
Ferrets in a sack, infighting, thing is, no-one wants to take on the poison chalice.
Force him out, call an election now and take your medicine.
Hoon and Hewitt? Arrange for them to have a fatal accident by close of play today.
Maybe now, Labour will decide, ok, we can get rid of him now someone has stuck the head above the parapit.
However, i can see it all descend into a total disaster.
Labour look like they cannot govern, its a mess.
Errrr..when have they ever been able to govern?
Labour is in chaos.
Lots of ‘faces’ missing from the front bench at PMQ, and plenty of green seats showing on the back benches….was it the cold..or cold feet!
Frank Field has now joined in supporting Hewitt and Hoon.
Also a letter is in the Evening Standard. Knives are out.
Letter calling for a secret ballot
Toenails. This year’s Mickey Shite.
Michael White on BBC News now playing the whole thing down….
Michael White = Labour Fellator.
He has to support Brown come what may, or he’ll never get those photographs back.
Michael White – The White Queen? Gordon must be in trouble to bring her out, or does she just arrive with the snow? Or is that Jon?
Tory Election Poster
New Labour MPs say “WE CAN’T GO ON LIKE THIS”
Extra case of “throwing mobiles” just delivered to No.10.
Hahaha excellent
Nokia anticipating a big rise in profits!
Is Brown behind this call from him to stand down? Afterall he’s a schemer and a plotter. Expose any internal opposition and wipe them out before the election. Wouldn’t put it past him.
wtf – this story has now disappeared off the BBC website?
This one – top of the front page!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8443769.stm
That link does not work – I’m telling you it’s been pulled
working for me! – pic of Broon looking like a right, well, Hoon on the page!
it’s back now
hmmmmmm
Global warming – bollocks
Labour unity – bollocks
Things can only get better hahahahahahahahahaha !!!
Al Pravda website not carrying this story….obviously a non event to those beeb lefty bastards
Where the hell is PMQs at the BBC, and why does this not have top billing. Hmmm maybe its in the editing room.!!!
It was on the BBC website until a few minutes ago, its been pulled.
BBC Newsreaders and reporters looking visibly angry, trying to play it all down, Blo Job lips on news at one looking sickend lol, Hoon has no real support – yes as an ex chief whip he just decided to piss in the wind.
Dear Colleague,
As we move towards a General Election it remains the case that the Parliamentary Labour Party is deeply divided over the question of the leadership. Many colleagues have expressed their frustration at the way in which this question is affecting our political performance. We have therefore come to the conclusion that the only way to resolve this issue would be to allow every member to express their view in a secret ballot.
This could be done quickly and with minimum disruption to the work of MPs and the Government. Whatever the outcome the whole of the party could then go forward, knowing that this matter had been sorted out once and for all.
Strong supporters of the Prime Minister should have no difficulty in backing this approach. There is a risk otherwise that the persistent background briefing and grumbling could continue up to and possibly through the election campaign, affecting our ability to concentrate all of our energies on getting our real message across.
Equally those who want change, should they lose such a vote, would be expected by the majority of the PLP to devote all of their efforts to winning the election. The implications of such a vote would be clear – everyone would be bound to support the result.
This is a clear opportunity to finally lay this matter to rest. The continued speculation and uncertainty is allowing our opponents to portray us as dispirited and disunited. It is damaging our ability to set out our strong case to the electorate. It is giving our political opponents an easy target.
In what will inevitably be a difficult and demanding election campaign, we must have a determined and united parliamentary party. It is our job to lead the fight against our political opponents. We can only do that if we resolve these distractions. We hope that you will support this proposal.
Yours fraternally,
Geoff Hoon and Patricia Hewit
The man with his finger on the pulse, telling us all with great authority just why this was happening on the BBC 1 O’Clock news:-
Daily Politics 11.45am
Andrew Neil: Nick Robinson, I keep hearing rumours of a leadership challenge. I know nothing about all this stuff. Should I believe any of it?
Nick Robinson: No you shouldn’t. It’s rubbish and isn’t going to happen.
People accuse NuLiebour of putting party interests before the country’s.
Commentators are claiming that Geoff Hoon is doing this because he didn’t get the plum EU Foreign Minister job that he was promised. So he is now putting his personal interests before his party’s interests, before his country’s interests.
Is there no end to their willingness to let the country sink into oblivion as long as they personally prosper?
