YouGov’s poll for the Sun found that if Mr Brown was replaced, 19% would be more likely to vote Labour, compared to 14% who said they would be more likely to back the party if he stayed on.
That’s why CCHQ wants Gordon where he is…

Lord Lamont told ITV News…
“I think the PM is just human and Ed Balls is a pretty irritating person”
Labour Chances Improved if Gordon Goes
That’s stating theobvious ain’t it?
Depends who they replace him with though. As far as I can see the have no one suitable other than Mandy and Gordon has made sure that he is no threat by making him a lord for life.
So what? Read up about Lord Home: he became PM while he was a Lord, then renounced his peerage, then for two weeks was the PM but was neither a Lord nor an MP. He then won a by-election and as Sir Alec he became PM in the House of Commons.
Being an MP while PM is just a nicety, it is not a requirement. Hmmm, that makes me wonder, Prime Minister Hannan sounds good…
This sort of thing should be illegal. The state should be responsible for such activities.
http://www.gazetteseries.co.uk/news/localnews/gloucestershirenews/4833682.David_Cameron_helps_Wotton_pensioner_with_heavy_suitcase/
and the vast majority who said it made no difference at all ?
what real difference will this make guido to the -
EU fascist state
illegal wars
immigration and boarders
er none!
keep voting for the nwo stooges sheeple!
Prime Minister Hannan sounds good
Sounds a lot better than Prime Minister Cameron.
Agreed. I would even vote tory if Hannan was leading the party.
However, the powers that be will never allow such an eventuality.
That bald bloke who had to fuck off back into obscurity with his tail between his legs because he lost the Lisbon argument to call me Dave?
It would be like Ian Duncan Smith, John Redwood and John Major rolled into a powerball of charismatic slapheaded boggle eyed fury
He’d be unstoppable!
If you kept him away from the voting public
if hannan had any balls or integrity he would have joined ukip or another small party.
still cant expect a political class fake libertarian like hannan to acvtually put his snout from the eu gravy train can we!
if hannanan defected to ukip, took a leading role, he may actually make it to mp rather than currently be frozen out by nwo dave in the siberian gulag wilderness of the EU do nothings!
hannan has no integrity – just another snout.
Prime Minister Hannan – just threw up a little in my mouth. Thank god its as bout as likely as Gordon getting another term!
Prime Minister Hannan sounds good…
Seconded!
Would be like having Niles Crane as PM
Brilliant Frasier………….
Home was not a LIFE peer, but a hereditary one.
Tony Benn had already done the legwork to allow hereditary peers to renounce their peerages. There is no such mechanism for life peers, something PM was aware of when he accepted the life peerage.
Jack Straw has some legislation on the go that would allow life peers to renounce their peerage, but I don’t imagine Nick Brown is going to find government time for it!
marxist socialist peers – you couldn`t make it up!
bet each and everyone of these so called socialists were calling for the abolition of the lords – eh communist mandy, and other such undeserved unmandated priviledged positions while radical middle upperclass uni student tossers with their heads in the clouds, only to become everything they claimed they despised!
almost as laughable as their workers solidarity they always claim as they ship jobs abroad and import cheap labour, selling off state owned captive essential utilities to the elites to milk the masses.
or perhaps the fact that they still try and justify their brand of elitism by ensuring slavery and control for all – funny i dont remember the ignorant fool marx preaching slavery for the masses, but a greater share!
it is ironic that nothing could be further from marx than than nu labour and blue labour pledging slavery and oppression for the masses to seek favour with the elite nwo banking and rayal cartels that have become the new global mafia of death, war, murder,destruction, tyranny, usery, inequality, poverty, starvation, ethnocide and hate.
and hardman the unstable toff – calls herself a marxist – marx would have been the first to exile this evil crooked witch, along with the rest of the nwo elite whores.
any labour crooks reading this take a look in the mirror – seewhat you have become – for greed!
and dave will be exactly the same!
You know… I had the same dream last night!
The Labour Party constitution requires the leader to be a sitting MP, so which puts Mandy out of the running (or should that be slithering in his case)
‘The leader and deputy leader of the party shall be elected or re-elected from among Commons members of the PLP in accordance with procedural rule 4B.2, at a party conference convened in accordance with clause VI of these rules. In respect to the election of the leader and deputy leader, the standing orders of the PLP shall always automatically be brought into line with these rules.’
Yeah.. I think many are thinking “anyone but gordon” but haven’t thought through that anyone that stands a chance of being labour leader would be worse.
I’m sure conservatives would get more votes anyway if brown went as there’s no longer the “better the devil you know” voting as they’ll all be unknown, or even DC would be better known.
Well yes and no. Mandelson has carefully avoided saying that he would not return to the Commons and he can give up his title if he so wishes. The question is, what would induce him to do so? Does he really believe that there are other benefits? Why would he want to become PM, except out of vanity? He has already got his hands on most of the levers of power – including the making and breaking of Prime Ministers. Why put himself in a weaker position?
You really cannot believe that ‘he is no threat’.
Mandy Pooh is the king-maker a la Richard Neville
No, he can’t give up a life peerage.
Oh yes he can!
So what, who cares?
The vast majority of rational, right thinking people simply want to see that back of them, their party and their political credo…let them carry on with Culpability Broon at the helm; it’s only a couple more months of fun before the real work of government is resumed!
Relax and enjoy their collapse. Brownfall, perhaps?
The last gasping breath of a bankcrupt party responsible for a bankcrupt nation.
Brown will go down in history as the worst PM in UK history.
What we are seeing now is the mad scramble of all these hoons desperately searching for a new position of troughing and stabbing everyone in the back.
It’s going to be great entertainment over the next few months. We’re only a couple of days in and already we’re neck deep in coups.
Get the popcorn in and sit back and enjoy!
I am so relaxed, because nothing that I can say or do will make any difference until the GE. Just going to enjoy all the shenanigans and nervous twitching in the final death throes of the failed experiment that is the Marxist Party.
If New Labour and Tony Blair is Marxist then so must his mini-me Dave airbrush Blair
Starting to look a bit that way. Scary that the populace is also complicit in the demise of our once Great Nation. We get the Government we vote for and therefore deserve. Personally there appears to be nowt but the choice of a Hobbit.
The National Party in NZ are currently having the same criticism from centre right stalwarts. They ran a Campaign identical to the one we see here. I am not allied to any Political Party. I just despise the current crop of Pollies. They all deserve contempt. There must be some reason why no-one will grasp the nettle, and do a Thatcher. Are we all too comfortable?
Nike said: nothing that I can say or do will make any difference until the GE
Do you really imagine you can make any difference then?
May I tender two suggestions? Take a sledge-hammer to your telly and use newspapers only to line the parrot’s cage.
Don’t do the Dead Tree press. Just bought a new TV, so hardly an option. But thanks for the advice. You are obviously more important than me! I happen to know my limits and am only here for amusement.
Beezer, you remind me of someone who thought getting a four cylinder BMW was a cool thing to do, that lost a shit load of borrowed money on the Stock Market, and was studiously ignored at parties. Good luck with your blog, and do let us know when visitors start arriving. We are patient.

But how do you think he will rank as Chancellor ? He couldn’t be both worst ever PM and worst ever Chancellor of the Exchequer, could he ? He has caused more long term damage in his former post I think–but its a close call.
How’s about worst human being ever – I bet he’d run Caligula, Attila the Hun etc close

Nice to see that she’s got a cutthroat razor at the ready.
Here, Gordy, Gordy! Nice Gordy!
Imagine going camping and THAT arrives on the pitch next to you! Ughhhhh.
There’s no way Britain will accept a poofter at the helm(et)
What makes you think we’ve not already had one ?
Good point, Mudplugger. No sign of girlfriends until his politically motivated arranged wedding with the fragrant Sarah. Even the children were conceived for political convenience.
Has anyone ever seen the Brown nippers?
Seeems like a nice boy
Since they let him in as leader and have not taken him out, Labour must think that Brown’s the best they’ve got. In that, they may not be wrong.
After twelve/thirteen lousy rotten years of NuLabshit, I can’t believe any-one in their right mind would consider voting Labour – what the feck is up with these arseholes? Are they all o benefits? Bet they are!
Shaun Woodward when asked why Ministers did not come out immediately to support Gordon, said they were too busy doing their jobs. The reality is, those who support Gordon (Woodward and Balls) did put aside their jobs for 5 minutes to go on the Telly, those who do not support Gordon (most of them) did carry on doing their jobs.
So we now have a Conservative defector as Gordon’s number one ally and the deputy leader of the Labour party as Gordon’s number one enemy. What the fook is going on in Labour?
Comical Mandy sent out a text; supporting Brown… blah blah etc…getting on with the job.
How many ministers then used that phrase ‘getting on with the job’. Interesting
An unelected man who has had to resign twice on dodgy dealings should never be part of our government. But I forget we have a Labour government where corruption of values, ethics and leadership are rife, so it’s no surprise Mandy is there, unelected, shaping or should I say, ruining our lives.
Makes you sick!
I’m intensely relaxed about it all.
I wonder how many supporters Labour lost through that? I was a Labour voter until I was expected to believe that Cherie had bought their son a flat for £250,000 without mentioning it to Tony. And buying another flat for £250,000, and not mentioning that, either. And failing to tell him she’d used a conman with multiple convictions from all around the world to negotiate the deal.
Tony: How was your day, dear?
Cherie: Oh, fine. I got some new shoes from Dolcis.
Tony: That’s nice. Anything else?
Cherie (thinking): should I mention I’ve just spent half a million pounds on two flats, one of which is for our son and that I used a convicted felon to negotiate the deal? Nah.
I have learned the lessons from Patricia’s putative putsch, I have drawn a line under it, I am moving on and am busy getting on with the job.
It’s the right thing to do.
What’s that Mr Patel? You want another £800 million for your space program?
No problem, the cheque is in the post.
It’s the right thing to do.
It’s simple there is a small crowd of strange people in the bunker or on the phone who are running Labour: Jonah, Balls, Woodward, Whelan, Dan Corry, Gus O’Donnell, Damian Mcbride. No wonder the party is annoyed
Paxo asked Comical Mandy if Brown went into a rage yesterday.
Stock answer should be: Brown doesn’t do raging.
Answer; I don’t know.
So Brown, as we all know anyway, does raging.
What worries me is the Paranoid Delusions festering in the McMental mind.
He can go off the rails very soon, and it could be even more expensive to the UK. The ability to curtail his demented machinations are hopefully fully explored by now.
@ Nike.
Definitely, after the backing by some of his cabinet, Brown is going to go headlong into an election campaign with more spite and hatred of the Tories than ever before.
The fuckers completely unhinged.
He will either explode or implode, i don’t care which.
Perhaps they were holding back to give Brown the opportunity to stand down
Oh I do hope not!
David Miliband is supposed to be next Labour Leader. Can’t see it myself, he looks more like Mr Bean everyday.
Correction he IS Mr Bean.
Correction correction… Banana Bean – yellow, mushy, slippery.
So a Banana Bean to replace a Has Been ? Like it !
He’s still trying to grow that moustache too.
Maybe not everything’s dropped into place yet? Judging by his dithering yesterday I think I may have hit on something!!
Its a dirty Sanchez, NOT a moustache.
Is it me, or does Broon walk as if some-one has shoved a poker up his arse? Answers would be really appreciated, as it/s the poker or piles or a load of Balls!
The question they should have asked is;
“Would you be more likely to vote Labour if they had a prolonged bitter and bloody leadership election with no clear winner just before the election?
Who have we currently sat in Westminster (and advising it) who are brothers in The Bilderberg Group?
Sitting, NOT sat.
If this is indeed a plot by Mandelson to go for the Leadership, it stands to reason that he needs Brown to hang on. Timing is critical – if he goes too soon, any ‘bounce’ could dissipate before the Election, so he needs Brown in place until the very last minute.
The Question that no one is asking is. Why doesn’t Gordon want the Labour party to hold a vote on his leadership?
Go Gordon Go!
Go where?
Doesn’t this sort of poll come under the “ducks possess watertight sphincters – shock revelation” category?
I thought everyone had a watertight sphincter? (Except unfortunate folk like GB) They wouldn’t be much use otherwise.
That’s the reason why McMental wears a nappy.
Yep, up their with ursine defecation habits and the religious affiliation of the Pontiff!
TT, I know of a certain young lady who may have had a water tight sphyncter…but not for long!
ahahahahahahahahah
But did she spit fire from both ends, Hugh?
19% would vote labour if Brown was replaced.
Where did the sun get that figure from.
Spurious.
Who did they interview? The Cabinet??
That’s right, the Woodentops.
I deny that !
The figure was that 19% were more likely to vote labour if Brown was replaced. Subtle difference.
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2798051/Suns-General-Election-poll.html
This will add to the seething discontent within Cabinet. Not good for McMental, and yet more coup attempts might still be in the offing.
This Labour cabinet are like Craster kippers. Two faced and no backbone!
YouGuv have no credibility at all now – the fact that Kellner is married to labour unelected Baroness of the EU highlights the appalling connections at this level of all our so called elites – shoot the lot of them
These results highlight what we already know but really, who cares if new stasi will do slightly better if they lose Gordon at an election?
the people, well I want an election NOW so that I can finally have my say on this cretinous band of thieves – who needs more infighting??
Yougov = the bunker’s favourite polling organisation.
sounds so much like directgov
the online list of control documents, and advice that our venerable leaders never take heed of.
Some of the polling parameters would be good
Hopefully not one of those internet polls
And yet they were the darlings of the Tory party when they called the election of Boris right! You just can’t win with you cretins
oh statistics.
So approx 80% don’t care who’s leader.
Perhaps that 14% thought “mandleson” when they said “new leader”.
Meanwhile Smooth Dave has let it slip that he mucked it up over the married couples tax pledge…a good day to bury bad news?
This is the worst thing about all this. The alternative to New labour is the idiot pair Cameron and Osborne. I’ve a feeling the minority parties will do well and I do not mean the wishy washy Liberals.
Cast-iron will simply impose the same New Labour policies on us. Have you read their pathetic “draft manifesto” on the NHS? The majority of the policies are already government policy, so Cast-iron is simply saying “we will carry on as if there has been no change”. Pathetic.
Copying Obama. Promise change and then carry on as before.
Change we can sneer at. Utter bollox. O’Bummer the irishman is looking very vulnerable and has managed to shift the majority of the States towards conservatism A one term wonder. Even dappy Palin stands a chance. That is frightening.
Remember when I became Chancer (sic) of the Exchequer in 1997 ? I just stuck with the Tories spending plans for two years but rather concentrated on unravelling a perfectly good financial system of regulation by creating the FSA.
I then went on to save the entire Solar System.
Er, known Universe including Black Holes
And the Sagittarius Arm of the Galaxy
He is saving all the Black Holes for later perhaps?
Anon 17 @ 9:18 a.m. The “idiot pair” might have avoided the marriage couples tax pledge had they made use of Ken Clarke’s economic nous.
PRECISELY, Anon. KC is the great, unused talent at the top of the Tory party. To have Osborne doing his job, when K has the best postwar record of any Chancellor, is like asking the cabin boy to run the ship while the cap’n sleeps below deck. If there IS a close-run finish to the general election, Dave will rue the day.
Just had a call from an old Labour voting friend. (I’m voting Tory next time – oh, yes!). He says Ken Clarke is that unusual Tory beast – one that die-hard Liabour voters like enough to put their crosses next to. Come on, Dave. Give the lad a promotion NOW.
Y’know I’m beginning to feel sorry for gordon.
mandy pulled strings to keep him in office yesterday not because he thinks ‘he’s the best man for the job’ but because he thinks its best if he’s the one who gets damaged leading labour in a crash and burn election.
mandy wants potential blairite candidates, namely militwit, untouched by failure until after the election and ready for a leadership fight that he hopes will see labour heading back towards the blairite centre.
So there is gordon unloved by the electorate and unloved by his own colleagues who have essentially imprisoned him in no.10 and are now pushing him towards political suicide.
Poor gordon, his coveted leadership crown that he assassinated bliar for has turned into a poisoned chalice. Whoever knew politics could be so violent?
Nell, please don’t let your guard down.
all political careers end in failure as the maxim goes
Hague? IDS? Howard?
none of it ringing any bells?
what do you think assassinated Blair means?
Surely you remember Maggie getting stabbed in the back from her loyal fellow Tory MPs?
tell you what, ask Boris and David Davies why they both have a polished dagger in waiting for Cameron’s back if he fucks it all up in the first couple of years
even Cleggy is nervously eyeing dear old Vince Cable’s cheshire cat smile wondering if he’s looking at his replacement if he does badly at the election
a callow young junior minister exclaims to an experienced old Government Minister on his first day in the commons “so that’s the enemy!” and points to the opposition benches across from him. The Minister chuckles and says “that’s not the enemy young man, that’s the enemy!” and points to the backbenches
I paraphrase from an old story but it will always be so
Mandy’s laughing – all the plots are a BOGOF for the spin meister.
When Brown gets toasted at the next GE, so does Balls.
“Keep it up” is Mandy’s catchphrase.
Seeing balls fail to win his seat at the next election would really be icing on the cake but I thought he had quite a good majority last time around.
Boundary changes.
Balls has completely neglected his constituency into which he was (I understand) unpopularly parachuted).
A Portillo moment is entirely possible.
Shakesperian? Levantine? A tragi-comedy certainly…
Loves Labour lost?
I love Labour losing.
not when you finally work out what the 9% gap means
Oh shit,Nell’s got The Stockholm Syndrome – better take snatch her out of the hostage house called the UK.
It’s not violent enough for me.
Staff in David Miliband’s office were phoning round trying to get his Cabinet colleagues to delay expressions of support.
They are weak, have no courage, no guts.
Source?
Phone records – available for a fee.
Incredible interview on Sky with J Straw where he kick friendly Nick Robinson in the groin and stating the leak about him being one of the backers was incorrect. Did I hear right he added the report was subistandard reporting or word similar. Wow the BBC and the labour party are imploding. As I said previously great telly. Who needs a soap opera when you have the labour party in power.
Sheerman weighed in on them yesterday for pretty much the opposite – not investigating/reporting the backbench frustration about Brown.
trust no poll
…nor pollster!
Yep, the only poll that matters is the GE. And at this rate its coming sooner rather than later.
You just stay right where you are Gord.
You’re doing a great job, keep it up you twat,
Geoff and Patricia, don’t ever do anything like that again.
Leave him be.
Guaranteed Tory victory
Iknow people will just say it’s one poor choice from another, But these fuckers have got to go.
Cameron can be bitch slapped when in power.
I think the interest thing is , what is going to happen to labour after the election? They look as though they are going to tear themselves to shreds and end up completely unable to get back into power ever.
I hope that happens , because if it does , it will leave a vacuum for another party to fill. And if the liberals start behaving sensibly they could be the one’s to fill it.
Or UKIP.
here here
9%
suck it up
Easy to accept when it is YouGov.
The horse faced Foreign secretary of the EU married the man that runs it.
Enough said?
secretary as in Al Murray the ‘Landlord’ definition of female employment.
You mean ‘hear hear’. The standard of grammar and spelling is so appallingly low in these comments.
Not until Hell freezes over.
You are Don Henly and I claim my £5.
Did they ever get back to-gether?
The Tories have hardly been an effective party of opposition, so whatever state Labour are left in it’s not much of a difficult act to follow.
Liberals???? Nell, please.
The Liberals are the most radical anti_British extremists in Parliament. They cannot wait to disband Parliament and get the EU running EVERYTHING here. They would immediately set out to join the Euro (because if, by some freak of polling they get into power, the economic shock of that in the financial markets would cause the pound to collapse)
Well I take your point about them being pro Europe but I wasn’t suggesting they could ever take over as the major party only as the 2nd party ie main opposition as opposed to labour who would end up , in my ideal world, relgated to third or fourth place.
Ah, fair enough. I see your point.
If Labour lose the next election the trade unions will ensure that there is constant strife arising from the cuts in public spending. Labour will continue as a mouthpiece of the trade unions, fomenting social discord as way of weakening the resolve of a Conservative government.
The trade unions will never adopt the Liberals as a mouthpiece, and will see electoral defeat as an excuse for returning to the agenda of Red Revolution.
That’s why we need someone who will have the balls to take on the unions and vested interests and defeat them.
Concrete I agree with your point and setiment. I am no tory but I absolutely detest this labour Government and in particular Brown. They do not deserve any support and it just unbelievable that 30% still show them support in the polls. They must live in a different country to me. This sorry excuse for a Goverment needs to go, go now and go forever.
Most of them did live in a different country until recently
Good point.
The ones that didn’t live in a different country are the growing underclass on benefits and in civil ‘service’ posts.
My sentiment entirely.
I’m neither a foreigner or a civil servant, but i might vote for them…
Labour is working: it’s borrowing an extra 3.5 billion pounds every week!
Labour is working: every week it’s borrowing an extra 164 pounds per person working in the private sector!
What would be the likelihood of people deciding to vote for Labour if Brown were to be dragged out of Downing Street by the despairing but patriotic mob and given his just desserts ie being strung up at the first Whitehall lamp post they come across. I can picture this, with his tongue permanently hanging out of his ignorant lying little gob.
I would like the same but lets go the whole hog and make it the whole fu*cking cabinet.
Including all the past cabinet members going all the way back to Ted Heath’s Cabinet that took us into the EEC.
So why did Heath never get married then?
It all started with Heath.
The anti british PM millionaire yachtsman.
I danced on his grave.
And I will yet piss on Brown’s
Heath was a total twat, a pumped up egotistical misogynist.Rude,humourless and at heart just not British.He hoodwinked the British people into the European socialist soviet state.A pox on his memory.
Because it is not lawful for a man to marry heath’s choice of sexual partner.
Just because he never married doesn’t mean he’s gay!
Look ‘pon Sir Cliff Richard, he’s not married.
But because he was a slimmy fat liar who hoodwinked us into the EUSSR does make him a chump.
“The Ape Man Commeth says:
January 7, 2010 at 12:51 pm
Just because he never married doesn’t mean he’s gay!”
Who said anything about him being gay?
I said it was unlawful for him to marry his choice of sexual partner. That does not mean he is gay.
Baaaaa!
Saw on TV, Brown returning to Downing St yesterday afternoon,via the rear entrance (nothing new for Brown).
Police Range Rover,Brown’s armoured Jag,Police car and another Range Rover.
Perhaps to protect him from the 60 million of us?
No – best way to do Brown away is simply let him pile each daily disaster and curse upon himself.
Watch him on the PMQ session yesterday – he is now very,very close to the edge.
Virtually insane when facing Cameron and then as quiet as a lamb when answering Clegg.
No balance,no thoughtful consideration of his answers – simply shouting the first thing he can think of as he takes on all comers in a never ending tag wrestling match – the only thing being HE is never tagged because he has no friends and tries to dominate every aspect of politics,just as a spoilt child hoards all the toys at her own birthday party.
His face resembles an old,stained cushion in a Traveller’s Fayre cafe on the concourse at Euston Railway Station.
His legacy?
Never elected,never wanted and hated by all around him.
If he was a horse,the green curtains would have been put up around him ages ago.
For some odd reason,the vet just never seems to be available.
The vet (comical mandy) has a syringe the size of a space rocket just waiting for the moment….
For the prick to prick the prick, with a prick now would kill any chances of victory. Better for the prick to prick the prick, with a prick after the election and the prick with a prick may be able to prick many more pricks with his prick and so clear the way for a new stable of his own.
That’s easy for you to say!
Got a headache now. Sounded great, perhaps a tad too much alliteration?
the point is, it’s not just Brown, it’s the whole party, that has betrayed the British people over 13 years – used, abused and misused everything they have touched. There’s not one new labour MP worthy of being supported – they are all in it together – hang the lot of them!
the likelihood of Brown being dragged out of Drowning Street is onlky real when he loses the election and then it will be uncomfortable because he’ll leave his fingernails scratching the front door as he’s bundled out ….
At least the copper whose hand Obama shook and Brown ignored, will be able to give the Scottish git a really good kick in the head as he is led out in a straitjacket.
Will be worth the Sky TV and licence fee just to see that.
I am hoping the deranged, maladroit, bullying, brooding, childish, inadequate Scotch weirdo wins an outright majority, awarded by Labour’s core vote of Scotch vermin, professional benefits scroungers, disability fraudsters, and state employed paper shufflers.
Far better for these wretches to witness the effects of NeoLabour’s economic insanity under the same Government.
The filth at the BBC etc would have a five year field day if the Tories were forced into making deep cuts in public services to stave off a fiscal crisis.
No, it’s right that the insane man who told us he’d removed the economic cycle, who told us we weren’t having a recession, who told us we’d be first out of the recession we weren’t having, who has tripled Britain’s national debt in eight years, who believes ‘cuts’ dont have to be made in front line services, who is drenched in the blood of British servicemen whom he clearly holds in utter contempt, and who despises people who have made money (but not the tax from their labours), leads a grateful nation to a great future.
The working, tax paying English electorate will then be faced with having a Government it doesn’t want courtesy of the Scotch and all the other assorted scroungers.
A sterling crisis might develop as McDoom refuses to cut spending on benefits and stupid people, and as he pursues his dream of the total Sovietisation of the economy.
Meanwhile the people who earn England’s money will leg it, sharpish
Find a way out of England me chums, I don’t pay tax here any more, its great.
It’s “Scots”. Saying “Scotch” will just leave them disappointed.
Scotch is entirely deliberate. About time the Jocks got their own gig. After giving us our money back, and handing back our oil and gas reserves.
so you don’t even live here Nike
what a surprise
no wonder you hide behind so many sockpuppets
why not fuck off back to whatever tax haven is harbouring you and leave UK Politics to those actually affected by them?
and don’t worry I WILL be posting under this sig every chance I get
Feel free my demented stalker. We will see who gives up at the end.
As I can vote here, and pay most of my taxes here. You laddie, can just fuck right off.
Beezley, the empty vessel. Come on down. If you think you are hard enough.
Gutless wonder with a zero traffic blogsite.
so what do you think of tax cheats like Ashcroft since as you are tax dodging little prick yourself son ?
oh that’s right! you can just fuckright off with your opinions about British taxes and taxpayers because you don’t pay all your taxes here foreigner
why not infest the political boards of whatever country you are hiding in instead of pontificating on matters that you don’t have a clue about and don’t affect you ? or have they already made you out for a complete bellend wherever you live?
you could complain about the snow in the UK except you don’t live here do you cun’t ?
you do realise spouting off about the ‘Scotch’ when you don’t even live her makes you a hypocritical twat of the highest order as well ?
“About time the Jocks got their own gig.”
What’s it got to do with you cun’t?
you don’t live in Britain so piss off and whine about those who live in whatever country actually borders your own instead of one you don’t live in
“After giving us our money back,”
who’s the ‘us’ dickhead ?
Not you for a start since Dubai or wherever you are hiding has nothing to do with the UK’s Oil reserves
so piss off tourist and come back when you know what it’s like to live in Britain instead of poncing about in your tax haven whining about a country you don’t have the guts to live in dodging taxes like a pussy
it’s also clear you have more than your fair share of people who also think you are a prize dickhead considering your demented obsession with whoever this Beezley character is.
still, you must be used to being clueless inept and wrong by now sonny
now piss off and leave British politics to those who live here and know something about it you despicable little taxcheating tourist shitbag
Jack Straw confirms on Sky that Nick Robinsons journalism is sub standard.
Nick is fast becoming the Murray Walker of BBC journalism…
Nah, Murray Walker is well loved by Sports fans.
Toenails is held in utter contempt.
On the basis that Straw is the snakiest liar of them all,that’s one of the only compliments I’ve ever heard about Toenails.
That was something was it not. Straw sticking it to NB. Wonder how Nick feels right now. Bitch slapped comes to mind.
Straw is denying it because he has to. I thought Toenails was actually quite brave to name these cabinet doubters for once.
I no longer watch, nor read anything by toenails, so it is quite possible that I could have missed some “Domascene” moment.
Is this a sign that toenails is effectively admitting defeat for his beloved party and saying something like, “well I have tried my best to prop up this bunch of incompetent, malignant fuckwits, but now I gotta save my own ass from the next tory government so labour are on their own”?
I must admit to being highly sceptical about that, but it would be good if true.
I heard Robinson at one point yesterday evening and got the distinct impression he has turned against Brown – this must be an indication that the hacks now know that Mandelson is engineering a prolonged public execution of Brown.
Brown’s life support machine is being turned off – it won’t be finished in 60 seconds,but the solid line on the screen will appear within a few months and there just won’t be any more resuscitation teams available to bring the cursed man back to political life.
I note the other five names mentioned by Toenails as pro-plot are not denying it though.
As an arch Blairite, turning down the oxygen supply on Brown ever so gradually is no doubt amusing him greatly. Brown will be turning puce, as all that bullying is coming back to haunt him. I just hope he OD’s on as many pills as possible after shooting his Beard.
Without people confusing Brown with Susan Boyle, he would have been gone a long time ago
You never see them at the same venue. Bit like Wacko Jacko and Janet Jackson. Seen her recently. No, thought not.
At least he/she/it can fall back on a singing career then.
Has anyone ever seen Sarah and Mandy in the same room?
That is a shocking statistic!
14% will still vote for brown?
Actually, thinking about it, between the bloated civil service, and those on benefits who would hate to have to get a job, I can see how brown has bought 14% of the votes.
That’s actually about the correct percentage employed by the government.
“one rebel who was involved in planning their revolt told me: “We wanted to create a storm. Our purpose was to create the space for the Cabinet to act. They bottled it.”
Sources named the potential Cabinet rebels as Harriet Harman, David Miliband, Bob Ainsworth, Jack Straw, Jim Murphy and Douglas Alexander.”
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/nickrobinson/2010/01/why_attempt_to.html
bottled it ?? on top of bungled it !
Sounds like a Coca Cola bottling plant.
Difference is Coca Cola is “The Real Thing”.
The thing is why should they expect anything different from this government it bungles everything its a surprise to me they can find the way to the HoC.
You can easily see why Straw was having a go at Nick Robinson.
Straw wanted his treachery kept secret and Nick Robinson outed him.
One has to keep reminding oneself that the professional Labour politician has no concept of truth or honour and is perfectly capable of making a succession of completely conflicting statements with a straight face.
The Cabinet fully supports Brown, but the Cabinet doesn’t fully support Brown. That is the official position.
Straw was referring to the Drinks cabinet.
Orwell just got the dates wrong.
So the abortive coup was not a sign of a couple of delusional ‘past-it’ MP’s taking on a strong and united party.
It was more along the lines of a very divided party wracked by internal dissent being saved by a combination of the utter incompetence and craven cowardice of it’s members.
Labour, a party that hates itself, but is too stupid to do anything about it!
That’s why I want him to stay.
He’s the best PM the Tories ever had.

do you have a product called troll Shifter Bill ?? I have industrial strength marxists cleanser and Anti Blair , but need somthing to keep shift comments from LAbour trolls .
That Anti-Blair was excellent. Used it in 2007 and haven’t heard a word from him since.
There was Anti-Blair EU that has also had great results recently.
Unfortunately there isn’t any known program that can remove Brown.
Purnell OS 4, Blears 0.05, Clarkey Sparky, FallowField or even New Hoon.
There are even some doubts that a new product called Election 10 will fully remove Brown.
Well according to the beta testers of Election 10.0, they have discovered a trojan in the code that means that despite a whole new interface, and a more efficient kernel, the same old flawed routines still get executed. All the power from the system is still drained to the EU.LisBon daemon by this trojan. Much of the new functionality that the user community have been demanding for a long time is blocked by EU.LisBon, (meaning that one gets all the menus leading to the new functionality, but they are greyed out and not functional, they may even removes these menus altogether before final release this spring/summer), and only a complete block on EU.LisBon and total removal of all the command directives and sub-routines that get run by EU.LisBon will make the product work properly.
A free, open source patch, UKIP.hope is available, but it is untested. Pre Election.10 marketing (JuneEUElection.09) showed promise and even scored more highly than Labour.2.0 (Brown edition)

Great plastering over of yesterdays left overs and Cameron is on marr this sunday , certainly somesones chestnuts are roasting
Tories are too left wing for ol’ Charlie.
Way back in 2006 Charles Clarke warned as Brown was “a control freak”, “deluded” and “uncollegiate”.
The longer he stays the greater his downfall…
I watched the Newsnight interview with Mandelson – and perhaps I have watched too many episodes of “Lie To Me”.
Am I wrong in thinking that Mandelson,when Paxman asked;
“So Gordon Brown is the right man for the job?” answered “Yes” in a way that actually said;
“No,but I am going to prolong his agony by playing these games for I am the real leader of the Labour Party”.
Reptilian,smarmy and so dangerous that a new word needs to be invented to describe this man.
I’m starting to quite like him. He’s an evil commie and everything, but set against the rest of the cowardly incompetants he looks positively Churchillian. Mandy would make a great Bond villain.
He’d make a fine Pink Tsar.
He’s ruined a few chocolate stars.
haven’t we all Ducky ?
where’s wee Willie Hague, we have a strenuous nights ‘judo’ planned
But isn’t he looking creepily like Hitler, sans tache.

Sitting behind his desk, monocle in eye, stroking a white pussy.
He presses the intercom button. “Send in number two”
The doors slide open and a nervous Gordon brown shuffles in, nervously glancing at the shark tank. “You sent for me sir?”
“I have had to save your pathetic skin again Number 2. The traitors have been taken care of, but I warn you for the last time, don’t fail me!”
“No sir”
“Send in Number 3,” called Lord Mandelson, placing a diamond necklace around the pussy.
Harman enters in her Mao style uniform, a poison dagger can be seen emerging from the toe of her plain shoe.
“We don’t tolerate failures Number tow, do you understand…?”
“Yes!Yes I won’t fail again..I’ll get rid of Dave Bond, I swear.” babbled a sweating, shaking Brown.
“You had better. Now give me two new titles and get out..”
Meanwhile we are number 6, the Prisoners..I am not a number I am a free man….
Mandy: Ha,Ha,Ha!
Ed Balls: chase me.
Hey Cal, its a good job you were not looking at Mandy’s Arsehole. That was a dead giveaway.

Soon Mandy will tear the fake skin from his face to reveal his true scaly face of doom.
I must confess I’ve had a sneaking admiration for him since the green custard incident – what style, but rather scary!
No need to rock a boat when it is sinking….
Watching D Miliband returning to his flat last night,there is no doubt he was the expected Cabinet minister to resign – and HE expected other cabinet ministers (Darling?) to resign after which he would have done so and declared himself ready for election.
Watch the film of him – he is without any shadow of a doubt ready to take over.
Brown will not be “leader” at the General Election.
I’ll jump if you do.
Is this lack of moral and political courage what we really want from a PM?
No, but it’s what we expect from the Liebour party.
Presented with a perfect opportunity to have Gordon replaced, the whole bloody lot of them bottled it! My money was on Darling, after his recent marginalisation and bullying by Broon over the PBR contents.
cornered badgers are usually very aggressive.
However, the Scotchlish strain are notoriously cowardly.
I hear they are thinking of re-introducing the European Beaver to Scotland.

It has come to something when grovelling cowardice is a qualification for leadership.
It defines the state of the country remarkably well.
Don’t forget rank incompetence and amateurish bungling.

SO PEOPLE WANT TO VOTE AGAINST BROWN BUT NOT FOR CAMERON.
SAYS QUITE A LOT ABOUT THE TORIES REALLY.
SO STILL WONT BE VOTING FOR BLAIR2, I SHALL VOTE FOR A REAL TORY.
I understand your point but for me I want rid of this government and that means voting tory where I live. In truth, if I lived in a part of the country where a UKIP, LibDem or Independent had a better chance then I believe I would vote for them. It might not be the “right thing to do” but I am being straight I want this corrupt sad excuse for a government gone and with any luck gone for good.
I am confused, how can anyone consider voting for UKIP and consider voting for the LibDems? They are diametrically opposed to each other on just about every policy bar the illegality of the Iraq invasion. And even then, UKIP have the balls to state that they would take action against Blair even if they had to change the law to do so, whereas the LibDems are completely impotent.
I understand and share the hatred of Labour, but liberals are like a concentrated form of the evil that is labour. They are utterly hateful of this country and cannot wait to get the EU fascists to come in and finish completely taking over.
I appreciate and largely agree with your point. For me its about the best way to get rid of this government and here that means a vote for a tory. I admit to voting for Blair first time around which was a pox on my house. I was duped like so many about their promises and wishes for change and after 17 years of a tory government, change was the order of the day. Tactical voting will in my view be the best way to send the labour party into oblivion.
One thing to say about the Tories, is that they have a few in their ranks that might be worth a punt in the top job.
And some damn fine totty too.
Agreed.
Tory totty tops Labours mingers,
all day long.
B8stards……….. The Great Leader is getting on with the job and saving the world, pleeeeease do not interfere !!
Please could the gutless wonders of this sad country demand an election. If ever we needed an end to the current political situation it is now. Whatever the result, the country would at least start the new parliament knowing it was legitimate. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE an election!
Ditto
Ditto
more ditto
still more ditto
of course there is no way anyone wants to be labour leader gouing into this election. they dont want to be tainted by this government. I hope to so called candidates all lose their seats anyway at the election. I will be winning Harriet’s seat in peckham so thats one down.
This shutting of schools while it is Cold is a scandal. Why do teachers think they are different to the rest of us and do not need to go to work?
And I would wager it is only the State schools that have closed.
State teachers and socialism go together.
Two words sum this issue up ‘Risk Assessment’, this is one area that needs a careful review post election who ever is in power. To many times is this being used as a excuse to do nothing.
And as another poster noted, This is more to do with massaging OFSTED figures than safety. If a school stays open and the kids cannot get in from outlying areas, their attendance figures suffer in the OFSTED report, so they close the school and that dates attendance does not count.
Please sit up straight when posting on this blog
I’m afraid my son’s fee paying school is also closed.
You mean they kicked the boarders out into the snow?
My public school never closed through the winter of ’62-’63 (unfortunately).
Labour seem to be entering self-destruct mode – when Brown is finally dragged away after the election – they will probably replace him with a turkey.
Its snowing!
Just imagine how much harder it would be snowing and how much lower the temperature would be if we weren’t suffering from anthropgenic global warming!!!!
must be why you’re voting for Dave love
coz he thinks you’re thick as two short planks when it comes to science
Well the only people who are going to be voting for gordon will be those living the life of riley on benefits or civil servants and local government workers doing all those non-jobs that gordon created in order to claim he’d cured unemployment.
the unemployed on benefits and young people are the biggest stay at home no show low turnout in any election
at least learn the basics before you sound quite so stupid

Wasn’t Ross pro-Gay enough?

Man + Woman + Balance = Nature.
Any more ideas for banners?
your maths is a bit odd.
What is the “balance” that is required to make the “man+woman” equal “nature”. ( An extra woman on the side? A big dildo? )
You’ll get locked up for ‘hate crimes’ Ned.
Front bottoms rule OK.
No doubt. Gays can lambast and pontificate about straight people all they like, but straight people cannot even be proud of their own normal sexuality?
Whilst I, and millions of other moderate people do not mind, or object to anyone’s legal sexual preference and we have no wish to criminalise, nor attack the gay community, we are increasingly feeling pissed off at having our noses rubbed in their “lifestyle choice”.
Being gay does feel entirely normal, IF YOU ARE GAY! Nothing wrong with that.
But there are millions of kids growing up in the UK today who are now terribly confused and are being made to feel guilty and abnormal for not being gay. I heard one young teen talk of feeling ashamed that he could not find any homosexual feelings at all and he was scared that he could be considered a bigot for not admitting to being at least “a bit gay” If you are not gay, then the whole concept of being gay is NOT normal.
Gay people, please give it a rest, or suffer an inevitable backlash!
Can’t remember which University it was, but one of them had a sign up in the Common Room;

Brown lives-but for what? To be taken into an election (at the last
possible moment apparently) as head of a divided party, looking inwards
and not outwards & forwards. It is plain to everyone that the Cabinet
and many of his MPs are not behind him so IF, big IF, (but just about
possible), Labour were to scratch by at the election as the largest
party, we would have a leader most of the country does not want and much
of his party does not want.
Instead of strong government we would have a weak PM with constant bickering over the succession and doubtless other failed plots.
Eventually Brown would be replaced by another, again
/someone the British People will not have chosen/.
Meanwhile we are at war in Afghanistan and we have a debt problem created largely by Brown which will affect our grandchildren and their children and our country is in danger of having our credit rating severely damaged (and thus our national economic prospects)-possibly permanently.
I am despairing of the whole political class.
Brown is apparently going to take the election almost to the brink, hoping, Micawber like, for something to turn up. Last thing the nation and more particularly the bond markets need. He really is absolutely barking, I thought it when he sold the gold at the obvious bottom of the market, I now think he
is certifiable.
Do you see this as part of the plot, we end up disliking them all, voting for a party that has no hope of forming a government or a one subject party so no one wins a majority, and we are left in limbo land. Plots and counter plots, let’s hope they meet themsleves coming back, one day it will all come out.
OT But may give you a laugh (even though it”s Mrs Dale).

Darling told PM to go:
http://blogs.wsj.com/iainmartin/2010/01/07/did-darling-tell-brown-to-go/?mod=rss_WSJBlog
Who is the real Chancellor now? Darling or Gordon’s toady Ed Balls?
but, there’s no source for this?
there was only Brown and Darling in the room
That’s what THEY think.
http://www.spyshop.co.uk/
Another train stuck in the Channel tunnel – Brown trying to escape?
Unfortunately it is UK bound!
No – its the EU ensuring that he does not come their way once he is turfed out.
Wonder what Brown blackmailed Darling with?
he said if he didnt support him, he would have to cut out their afternoon mutual wanking sessions. that could cause serious withdrawal issues for sometime.
he’d miss them terribly as me and wee Willie Hague can’t go a day without them either
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Many Thanks
that’s what I tell Dave when we have our little ‘dress up’ Parties when a few Bullingdon chums come over for a snifter
Ducky you should see the frocks! Tres chic and very glam
you’re a bit slow though sweetie pie as I’ve been here for months
Great line from John Redwood that gets to the heart of the issue:
The coup is symptomatic of a wider collapse in government, an inability to concentrate on solutions to our problems.
and what would the tories poll ratings be if you asked the question, if our dave hadnt ratted on his cast iron guarantee of a referendum on lisbon, would you give your vote back to the tories?
others would go down, tory vote would go up, SIMPLES!
people who say “simples” are cretins, love
just like you
Oh. I thought they were cute little meercats.
Well they had their chance to get rid of Gordon and they blew it. Now they’ll just have to live with the adverse electoral consequences of this failure.
9%
or a hung Parliament as it’s known
Guess it beats thinking of your own names

Re; the Wall Street Journal bit on Darling asking Brown to go yesterday,the whole way through the PMQ’s yesterday,Darling kept very quiet,very still and deep in thought.
The person who invents a machine to read the mind will make Bill Gates and Warren Buffet’s fortune’s look like the claim for an MP’s garlic presses.
Day 7 of a new year and the cursed Brown already has a leadership challenge added to his CV.
Why do we all put up with this arsehole?
Iain Martin has lots of contacts in the Treasury. Darling would have told one of his people what took place for sure.
Not if Brown blackmailed him, he wouldn’t. Wonder if such a thing is a possibility – I can’t think of any other feasible reason for Darling to back Brown. It’s too late for Brown to promise him jobs, they don’t agree on economic policy, and there’s a history of fighting between them (Darling having to manouvre during the last reshuffle to keep Balls out of the Treasury, for example).
The only other possibility is that Darling calculates that changing the leader now would be more damaging to Labour than not changing now. If Labour did oust Brown, they would either have to hold a leadership election taking several weeks – a gift to the opposition at present – or appoint a leader – an even bigger gift to the opposition parties, who along with large sections of the media would raise a huge clamour for a GE to legitimise the new leader.
Labour are sunk whatever they do now; yesterday’s failed putsch just highlighed the divisions and weakened them more. It’s pure damage limitation for them, now – and Darling may well reckon that the damage could be more if the Dear Leader toppled now rather than at the GE.
what could Brown blackmail Darling with?
my view is that Darling got a promise from Brown that he (Darling) would be in sole charge of economic policy from now on and would write the budget alone.
Don’t know – I was thinking aloud, really.
Someone posted a couple of days ago that the Labour leader is in part personally liable foe Labour Party debts. Perhaps that’s a factor in their thinking – none of them want the leadership. Maybe they’re Brown be the fall-guy. Bit of a long shot, I’d admit.
Doh – letting Brown be the fall-guy. And read ‘for’ for ‘foe’.
Brown is telling everybody individually and in secret that THEY are his preferred successor, and that they stand a far better chance if they don’t challenge his leadership.
They should all get together and tell each other what Brown said to them about their leadership prospects.
Bollocks.
At least Jonathan Ross has at last had the decency to stand down – see Gordon, it is possible!
Someone needs to kick the door off Brown’s office, get him in a headlock and bounce his stupid Scotch heed off a filing cabinet.
He is the twat who got the country in the shit and in no drug fuelled absinthe drinkathon is he the person(s) to get us out of it
could some one make sure that in the next poll, they ask the following questions.
if dan hannan was tory leader, would it make you more or less likely to vote for cameron, sorry, i mean conservative?
if you could still have a vote on the lisbon treaty would it make you more or less likely to vote realtory?
And the majority of those asked would say – Hannan who ? Apart from the right wing of the Tory party who think he’s wonderful the rest of the electorate don’t know him or if they do can’t really get to worked up about Lisbon or the EU anymore – whereas “Dave” has had 4/5 years to work up his image! 2010 is not Hannan’s time.He’s not even a Westminster MP-yet !!
and just look at at what daves carefully crafted image has taken us to? just 9 points behind the cretins who have ruined this country.
i certainly wont be voting for blair2 or bluelabour, im voting for a real conservative.
I didn’t say I didn’t agree with you -I just said that Hannan needs to raise his profile outside of the Conservative Right etc and also get himself elected to Westminster. As regards 2010 just like Gordon for Labour Dave is the only alternative for the Tories.

So exactly what is your point?
Would you care to articulate (if you don’t know what that word means, there is a thing called a “dictionary” where it explains what different words mean), or are you currently still getting lessons on violence and abusiveness from Brown? If I give you my address you could come and throw a Nokia at me! I’m not sure though that it would help the intellectual battle for hearts and minds.

Hannan frightens too many voters, which is why he’s bound and gagged bearing a label stating “Do not open until after the election”.

Yeah but like yeah but no it ain’t gonna happen is it ? Cos the Cabinet are a load of cowardy cowardy custards and say one thing in private but daren’t speak up in public. So Labour goes to the election with Brown ! Heyho ! Roll on the election !!
Love it when a plan comes to-gether.
your plan to be a tax dodging scrounger ?
So rather than lead the way with a positive message, Conservatives are relying on Labour to gift them victory with the equivalent of a Scottish goalkeeping howler.
Doesn’t inspire one with much confidence in the next government. God help Britain, because none of these political pygmies will.
When did policies ever decide a modern election in the UK ? It’s always about personalties
“An arrest warrant has been issued for a Leicester man accused of having sex with a horse and a donkey, after he failed to turn up to court”.
These MP’s really are the dregs.
Presumably the Horse and the Donkey will be getting the MP in question to appear on Jeremy Vile some time soon. MP’s really are cheating love rats.
I hope you’re not trying to stirrup trouble..
who did the cute ass belong to?
Dirty ho’s.
Jeremy Vile being a British TV programme so you don’t have to worry
so there are MPs where you live and they are cheating love rats too ?
just like Britain
It’s vile, disgusting and wrong but why is it illlegal actually?

Rather like the Clinton Defence methinks – I did NOT have communications with that woman
The old fraud knew about this coup and supported it. He wanted others to wield the knife because he believes he can become PM himself.
He said:
“no-one had asked any advice as far as I know from any members of the cabinet about this. Had we been asked I think our advice would have been unanimous.”
Interesting he doesn’t say unanimously what.

The party has got the Balls to replace the leader – just the wrong sort.
BREAKING NEWS
“I have spoken with my Cabinet colleagues and everyone is behind me”
With big fuckin’ knives, but unfortunately we cannot stand the sight of blood.
Make sure they’ve not got daggers in their hands though Gordon
“We are winning!”
Get thee behind ME Satan.
159 – Does Chilcott (sp) think McDoom will lose the GE? Why can’t McDoom give evidence before the GE? What IF he won the GE would that mean he couldn’t give evidence? It’s all very strange.
Mandelson says Labour is ‘settled’ under Brown’s leadership, plus he shows himself to be a real old-style Champagne Socialist
Did anyone else notice that Mandelson’s words were less than a full and ringing endorsement of Brown’s leadership toward the General Election?
No, he does not want the fat tosser anywhere near the inquiry. His presence will fuck it up.
No doubt we are in for another day of insightful and intelligent comments.
Get a life you arrogant tossers.
Still read the comments though, don’t ya.
You prick.
You probably read some of these comments, and pass them off as your own down the pub, just to impress people.
Billy fucking no mates.
Compared to socialists who are all indolent dossers
The total ineptness of this failed coup sadly reflects how disasterous it was to have the MoD run by such an incompetent as Hoon during a major overseas war.No wonder the poor squaddies were so short of the proper kit.
Hoon didn’t even know the difference between the Costa Del Sol and the Costa Brava. The man is indicative of the low life that Labour have in their government. He is a spineless, chinless prat.

What Harriet Harman REALLY said yesterday when she endorsed Gordon. Hahahaha. With friends like these……
As wonderful as these debates are, and I do love the banter, when push comes to shove millions will still vote to save their winter fuel allowance, or council tax rebates and other pittances, because as two 80+ ladies told me this week, the Conservatives will take it away from them.
That’s it, no debate, they know the truth as they see it, the Conservatives are evil. It doesn’t matter that the country is up the creek without a paddle and the captain is a fuckwit, they will vote for Labour, as long as they can get to the polls.
The GE will therefore be as late as possible to try & get the best weather for the frightened old ladies and the poor folk on benefits with no overcoat but a 42” TV and the best Sky package my taxes will buy.
So for all the clever chatter do get back to the real world folks.
Hopefully not.
Is that you Guido?
That’s exactly why Liebour captured the media, thanks to Mandelson and Campbell, so that their ‘Tories eat babies ‘ message could be drummed into the gullible, soporific masses. It’s worked fine since 1997.
It only works because Labour were able to win a 66 seat majority with only 22% of the total vote. What sort of democracy is that?
maybe your ‘real world’ but not mine
I can see through the shit that is brown and new stasi
and I don’t like what I see
those over 50 are the biggest most reliable electorate there is
they always tend to get out and vote
Wavy Davy Cameron spent so much time copying Blair he forgot that trying to be young and ‘hip’ with all the WebCameron toss is pretty much a waste of time as the younger you are the less likely you are to vote
NOBODY tries any longer to emulate Tony B£iar.
He’s gradually been exposed for the War Criminal he was and for being one of the architects of this Nation’s destruction.
Only a complete imbecile would believe that Cameron or ANYONE would want to model themselves on B£iar.
That’s the REAL world.
At a dinner with newspaper executives on the eve of his address, he took the comparison a step further. “I am the heir to Blair,” he said. If his hosts were in any doubt about what they had heard, Mr Cameron repeated the mantra. He also said that a Cameron Tory Government would not reverse all of the Blairite reforms in the public services.
His hosts were, to say the least, taken aback. Mr Cameron was guest, in the Louis Room at the Imperial Hotel in Blackpool, of The Daily Telegraph, house journal of the Conservative Party. The spirit of Margaret Thatcher, who was even praised by Kenneth Clark yesterday, still beats strongly in the editorial conferences of the newspaper.
Charles Moore, the former Editor who was at the dinner, is the official biographer of Baroness Thatcher, whose admirers include . . . Tony Blair. Mr Cameron, who was accompanied by his wife the creative director of a stationery company, was not isolated in the intimate gathering.
George Osborne, the Shadow Chancellor and fellow member of the so-called Notting Hill set of young modernising Tories, was also at the dinner table. Mr Osborne, defending the heir to Blair boast, said: “We have nothing to be ashamed of in saying it.”
Looks like you are a complete fuckwit who doesn’t have a clue what happens in the REAL world.
TWAT
It the old ladies who are inadvertently evil.
I have just learned the truth about yesterdays plot from a senior Labour backbencher.
The Brownites discovered that several cabinet ministers (the 6 Robinson named) were planning to speak out against Brown this coming weekend.
In a false flag operation designed to spike the real rebellion, the Brownites co-opted Hoon and Hewitt to announce a fake rebellion which had no real support and was designed to fizzle out quickly and leave Brown looking stronger.
This took the real opposition to Brown by surprise and has now left them in a bit of a quandary as to what to do next.
The Thick of it?
That makes sense. I wondered why such an unprincipled chancer as Geoff Hoon was sticking his next out. He’s obviously on a promise from his mate Gordon.
Perhaps that explains todays Guardian headline: “The LAST Revolt.” The inference being that the rebels have been vanquished and Brown is now safe? The whole thing was a con trick set up by Brown and Balls to stuff the genuine plotters. Very Machievelian!!
laughable horseshit
Hewitt and Hoon are now ‘untouchables’ and they supposedly made utter fools of themselves to please Brownites ?
like fun they did
they are both weapons grade idiots who missed the boat in the earlier coup attempt and this was their last desperate and wonderfully stupid throw of the dice
might have made a difference a few months ago but any idiot could have told them to wait till after christmas was way, way too late
they are ex cabinet remember and have been out of the loop for quite some time
if you rely on Charles “incompetent” Clarke for your inside info and coup strategy then don’t be surprised when your left standing there with your dick in your hands looking a prize twat when it all goes wrong
because that’s what happened before
The idea of a ‘manufactured revolt’ rings true. I thought it looked very odd when Hoon came on to the 6 o clock news yesterday, within just a few hours of the so-called rebellion starting, and announced that the rebellion was over. He said it with a big smirk on his face as if it had all been some sort of game.
He has strengthened the hands of Brown and Balls against Miliband, Harman, etc. I bet Brown has promised Hoon a nice lucrative position somewhere warm and out of the snow!
there was no support
it’s not fucking rocket science
and Hewitt and Hoon are definitely NOT rocket scientists
some of the people on here need to cut down on the crazy juice as not everything is an overcomplicated machiavellian conspiracy
you would have had no trouble believing both these clowns were dribbling idiots yesterday but now they are the dastardly front men in some far fetched pre-emptive counter-coup???
they were so busy in their own little plot bubble keeping it a secret that they were blind to the obvious that it was far too late and the PLP were having none of it
this is UK Politics not the plot of a bad potboiler thriller novel
if something can be fucked up it will be fucked up and those two have plenty of form in the fuckitup department
Here Here
That’s quite possible.
Brown smoked out the real rebels with a fake rebellion they had to respond to, none of them having the guts to do so.
Point still stands that how the fuck should we trust then to run the country, when they can’t even run their own party?
Brown on radio solent now – questions about the ‘coup’ on radio 5 – that’s two stations covered in shit then
Ship all Labour and Conservative voters to the Isle of Wight and let them fight to the death, winner take all.
who’s Barry Shermans daughter working for then
Frazer Nelson is on the Daily Politics going on about splits in the Tories!!
Is there something the matter with that twat? Does he want five more years of Brown?
What the fuck has happened to Fraser Nelson?
Did he take a magic Labour supporting pill over the Christmas holidays? Even since then he has been critisising the Tories non-stop. Does he seriously want five more years of Gordon fucking Brown?
Nelson is a turd who says and writes what his new masters, the Barclay brothers, tell him to. They have had a similiar effect on some of those at the Telegraph.
Nelson is a proper Tory, unlike wet liberal Dave who would be equally at home leading New Labour.
Come on everyone keep him in.
It will be hysterical. He has to blow sometime between now and the election – no one else can be relied upon to be so utterly incompetent – 12 years at the helm of new labour and we are in a quagmire.
For what it is worth (not much) I have a thought that he managed to call off the coup by stating he will resign soon for medical reasons – therefore they have stopped slagging him off whilst not supporting him.
President of YouGov is married to her excellentness the Lady High thingy Baroness Ashton.
You wanna poll? I gotta poll! And what answer would you like today then? Sounds remarkably like Shameron’s policy making strategy! Still What’s the diff?
Are we sure Mandy wasn’t behind it all in order to prove that Gordo can’t survive without him?
All this talk of percentages….Labour still have 0% chance of winning the election, no matter how many little percentages in voters they may gain.
I think this poll illustrates a fair prediction. Brown faces tough scrutiny and criticism from multiple sources: http://www.newsy.com/videos/brown_and_out_british_pm_faces_mounting_criticism
