Harriet Still Silent…

Ed Balls just said he was “getting on with the job”, which today was meeting with the Fonz.  The PM we are told was also “getting on with the job”. Mandelson unenthusiastically says “No-one should overreact to this. The Prime Minister continues to have the support of colleagues”.  Alan Johnson said “Gordon Brown is the best man to lead the Labour Party.” No word so far from the woman yet…

    have any of these nonentities got the guts?

    Bit like asking if Himmler,Goebbels or Goering had the guts.

      Harriet is still directing the snowstorm plot from her Dulwich bunker, the snowstorm troopers have sent several aids to a meeting and the rumor is H&H will arrive after dark.

        Harriet has just arrived inside Number 10.
        She was on the mobile ‘phone as she approached and, not concentrating, rammed through the door.
        She informed the officer on duty outside the residence that she was Harriet, and that he would know where to find her.
        Gordon was not in the hallway.

          She’s broken cover and come out for Brown, the spineless cow.

          That means end of story.

          • Nike says:

            End of story, but Brown has lost perhaps 300 basis points at the GE. With the Bond/Gilt market in Foie Gras status, and the Budget requiring flesh on the bones, it has perhaps brought the timetable forwards. H&H struck off GB’s Xmas card list.

          • Mr Ned says:

            There are a lot more former labour voters pissed off tonight. Their bright hopes for taking over and giving labour a fighting chance at the election are all reluctantly and half heartedly supporting Brown.

            This whole effort to get a secret ballot was so shoddily and ineptly organised, it really does demonstrate typical labour performance.

            This is yet another dismal display of the rank cowardice an ineptitude of the parliamentary labour party.

            Even labour list (in a skynews interview) admit that there is no-one but Brown to lead labour into the next election. NOT because Gordon is so good, but because the rest of labour are so utterly fucking useless.

            Why should anyone vote labour when there own fanblogsite so readily admits that they should have dumped Brown last June and nothing has changed since then except that they have come to the realisation that there is NOBODY in the party who is better.

            It says something when that fanblog claims Gordon is so bad, he should go, but all the others are even worse, so he should stay!

          • Spineless or is she positioning herself to be the leader of Labour after the electoral meltdown?

      Sky News were asking where Darling & Straw were.

      Balls rushed out of No 10 to say they were getting on with their jobs.

      Darling met Brown before he gave Brown his backing.

      I guess Gordon took it like a girly.

        Ed Balls gave an interview outside No. 10 on Sky News late afternoon. It was embarrasing, and quite frankly, enough to make your skin crawl. Tried to say that whilst in No. 10, he and the PM had far more important things to discuss than this issue. What a total arse-licking twat.

        Does anybody know whether the said Neddy Spheres MP, is behind the conversion of GMTV into the TV arm of the New Labour re-election machine? I am surprised that Guido hasn’t identified this trend and started giving due grief to the management of GMTV who clearly permit(or even encourage) their Presenters soft cushion treatment for every New Labour minister who comes on to push ther latest – dreamed up in the back of a taxi – “Policy”.
        Come on Guido lets see a little more targeting in this regard !

    Per Paul Waugh:

    “Harriet Harman has just put out a statement….but it has nothing to do with Gordon Brown’s future.

    The Deputy Labour leader – for that’s her title – issued this on a fire in the early hours of this morning at Camberwell Station Road:

    “I was dismayed to hear in the early hours of this morning that once again there was a fire blazing in Camberwell and that residents were being evacuated from their homes. I have, once again, conveyed my thanks to the local fire brigade and also the police, council officers and volunteers who worked together to help the residents who had to be rushed out of their homes. Thankfully there were no injuries but this is the third serious fire in Camberwell within the last year and I am greatly concerned about it….”

    Down with Brown! says:

    Dream day for the Tories:

    * Front of the Sun highlighted that Muslim extremists receive more in benefits than front line soliders do in pay.
    * Cameron outsparred Brown at PMQs. DC got in the line “the only divorce going on here is the one between Brown and reality.” Strong focus on our massive deficit throughout.
    * The Labour party imploded with lots of infighting throughout the day.
    * Ministers could not decide to back Brown and not. For several hours the silence was deafening. Eventually they came out in support. The electorate will punish them for keeping Brown in No. 10.

    They’ve only got 5 months maximum before election day, more like 4 months realistically.

    It’ll take at least a couple of months to go through the process of electing a new leader, and that process will tear the party apart even more even if Brown quits.

    Even if Brown quits (which he won’t) that’d still only give the new leader a couple of weeks to let the electorate know what he/she wants to do before an election.
    They’re completely fucked; they’ve left it too late and they’re now paying the price.
    Because of their total lack of spine and their keep-the-troughing-going-as-long-as-possible mentality, they’ve forced themselves into a corner that they simply can’t get out of.

    You reap the harvest that you sow, and my oh my how the labour party sowed the seeds of its own destruction with its mind-blowing negligence, arrogance, idiocy, bullying, and selfishness.

    NICK BROWN: Chief whip said the move was “unhelpful” and there was no “significant support” behind it.

    TONY MCNULTY: Former minister said the move was “daft” and “rather cowardly”, insisting the leadership was “not an issue”.

    ANDY BURNHAM: The health secretary said “I think they’ve misread the mood of Labour MPs on this one”.

    SHAUN WOODWARD: The Northern Ireland secretary said the ballot idea was a “huge distraction that nobody wants”.

    TONY LLOYD: The chairman of the Parliamentary Labour Party has dismissed the idea as “entirely unconstitutional”.

    JOHN MCFALL: The chair of the Commons Economic Affairs Committee says a leadership vote would be a “death-wish” for Labour

    CHRIS BRYANT: The Europe minister compared the letter to an attempted “hand grenade that won’t go off”.

    MARGARET BECKETT: The former foreign secretary described the idea as “foolish” and “stupid”.

    GERALDINE SMITH: Loyal backbencher says there is no “appetite” for a vote and its proponents were “joke figures”.

    SADIQ KHAN: Transport minister said Mr Brown was the “only man” to lead Labour into the general election.

    ED MILIBAND: Climate change secretary comes out in support of Mr Brown and says he is “sure” his brother David would also be backing the PM.

      An ex ranking policeman in the pub said he wouldn’t put it past them feigning illness or an assassination attempt on Brown to win the sympathy vote.

    This party is pathetic. They really don’t seem to like Gordon but at the sametime clearly don’t have the balls to do anything about it.

    I think Harperson is probably behind it all though; but to scared to stick her headup. Pathetic, pathetic the fucken lot of them.

    OK, this one is going to blow over.

    The good news is that it is now surely too late for any definitive action to be taken by cabinet / PLP and there is nothing cathartic they can do either without looking ridiculous.

    The cabinet’s support for Gordumb has been lamentably weak today, considering they are supposedly speaking with one voice.

    The party now has an open sore on display to all, which (as suggested above) will give the Tories a few score of basis points come the election.

    And Labour is firmly stuck with Gordumb at the help. An absolute gift to the Tories.

    He may yet panic and bring the election date nearer.

    But as long as he stays, we will get to see him implode in a live head-to-head debate with Cameron. Brown is bad in the HoC. He’s dreadful on TV. He simply will not be able to cope in a TV debate.

    Consolation we all deserve for thirteen years of fucked up government.

    Once Labour lose the election, Sarah won’t have a reason anymore to stay as Gordo’s beard, so they’ll have a quickie divorce.

    What happens to Guido’s blog when it goes into freeze mode. It’s now almost 10.00 pm and I can’t see a posting more recent than 9.22 pm.

    Must be something I don’t understand, or is it due to the snow.

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.
