Who Really Broke the Hoon-Hewitt Scoop?
As so often happens, who broke the story first is fiercely contested. Guido doesn’t have a dog in this fight, but for the record, since the Staggers is trying to cite Guido as evidence to back up its claim that it broke the news, here is the timeline:
- Unnoticed by Guido when it happened was Andy Sparrow’s PMQs live-blog, which had this at 11:57:
11.57 am: Hot news: We’ve just heard that Geoff Hoon and Patricia Hewitt are going to make some kind of statement about Brown’s leadership after PMQs. That’s all I know at the moment.
The first Guido knew was when someone shouted out across the newsroom after Andy Sparrow’s Tweet came up on the Guy News Tweetdeck screen, that was time-stamped at 12:01.- The Guardian’s website also had a teaser headline at 12:15.
- The New Statesman at 12:17 publishes what it calls an “Exclusive“ that “A letter is being circulated among Labour MPs this afternoon calling for a secret ballot on Gordon Brown’s leadership. According to one MP who would like Brown to leave office, the letter is being co-ordinated by a number of rebels, including the former cabinet ministers Charles Clarke, Patricia Hewitt and Geoff Hoon.”
So there you have it. The Guardian was first, though in the augmented reality of the Staggers “It was the NS wot got it“. In reality, you snooze, you lose, it ain’t news.
Sparrow told Guido that “it would be nice to take the credit myself, but actually Patrick Wintour obtained the information.” Incidentally, Guido understands that ITN’s Channel 4 News has changed policy on breaking news. Whereas it restricted scoops to the 7 p.m. broadcast they now put it up as soon as they can on the website and tweet the link. A cultural change for a mainstream media source. Steve Hilton getting nicked was tweeted last night by Cathy Newman in advance of telly viewers being told.
It almost goes without saying that Guido tries to be first. If not first, fast. When inevitably occasionally wrong, not for long. We no longer have news cycles, we have news streams…
“Canadian family’s dog saves 11-year-old boy from cougar”
Not Mrs Robinson again surely?
Now I’ve heard everything… the Guardian came first!
THEY STILL DON’T GET IT!
Ian Kennedy welcomes pigs to their refurbished trough…
Some of the highlights we can expect from the “new” expenses system:
House flipping (addresses redacted)✔
Second homes, even if constituency is commutable✔
MP’s can make capital gains on selling second homes✔
MP’s can employ family on expenses✔
Sounding familiar?
In that case I suggest you set out your views at:
http://mpexpensesconsultation.org.uk/ase
It’s not a quick process but it is detailed and there is plenty of scope to provide your views.
I thought that link was a wind up.. but its not… U must be a civil servant!
Hugh
i’m still waiting to hear your story about Kate ! come on tell all !
No, not a civil servant. (A bit early in the day for that kind of insult, if I may say so.) I’m just another taxpaying mug who is still fuming over the recent stories that the changes may be watered down.
No can do regarding the story about Kate – honour prevents me from spilling the beans – you will have to wait for my distant relative, Hugh Jardon, to reveal all.
If MPs don’t know where they live, ask the BBC Licence people.
it’s in the database
wow, what a scoop!
I’m sure everyone was asking this question after you answered it yourself yesterday
worth a nice big spread, many words and a photoshopped picture to jazz it up
(not that a story of this magnitude needs such desperate fluff of course)
not like that trifling rubbish about David Cameron’s right hand man getting arrested at the conference you attended is it?
trivia like that is barely worth two lines and you rightly gave it such cursory non-explanatory treatment lest we mistake it for extremely juicy political gossip a non-partisan blog would go to town on
when can we expect the next shocking timeline expose Guido?
do you have the exact minute and second when Hoon realised he was still a stupid cun’t and had just commited political suicide?
Piss off to your own blog you wank stain
fuck off and shove your head back up Tony Cameron’s arse you snivelling little toryboy puddle of dripping diarrea
Fucking hell foaming at the mouth about something that happened in 2008 what a typical left wing sad act.
I will enjoy seeing you labour dickheads who are so incompetent and crap you get beat by the shit conservatives lead by the weakest leader they have picked yet lmao.
What a pile of useless Hunts.
Smelly Labour troll at work here Brown Sludge.
Not much of life for this lonely, nasty little Labour tick.
‘smelly’
yeah, that’s about the level of rapier sharp wit you’d expect from a little toryboy troll weed
Hoon first made people suspicious when the fool sent everyone a blank e-mail at about 10.30am. Honestly, the idiot couldn’t arrange a piss up in a brewery.
If he had been entrusted to blow up parliament in 1605, the fucking hoon would have alerted the guards to his presence by stubbing his toe on the way down to the cellars.
Read my post NO 15
No. Mrs Robinson is an Irish family’s dog.
Godron knew at 11 am, that is why he was grumpy at PMQs and did his best to convince his back benchers that he can take Cameron.
Bloody shane no one told Dave though.
Is George Osborne back yet and where has he gone. Hospital? Dodgy Country, Rich man’s yacht?
never mind Toenails, or Anne Bancroft: the other Robinsons- Mr and Mrs of the Northern Ireland assembly – are in deep s…..t today
She is accused of fraudulently diverting taxpayers money, and this involved a sexual relationship with a 19 year old boy
(she is 59)
Not bad for someone who claims to be deeply religious and has declared homosexuality to be a sin.
Looks like the peace process will be derailed, how long before ‘the boys’ are at it again?
er – they already are – bomb under man’s car this morning.
Toenails wife is a cougar???
Classic mandy. shot across the bows to Balls about manifesto and who will write it.
i think Mandelson broke the story !
It wasnt me.
That’s all the proof I need.
No I didn’t break the story, I just broke wind.
To the average person, and not the political blog journalist obsessive, whoever broke this story first doesn’t matter when we are talking about a matter of minutes. Whether the story broke at 11:57 or 12:17 is of no significance. What matters is that Brown’s leadership was under threat, around about lunchtime, that is the story so you should report it and leave it at that. This bickering between Guido and the Beeb (and in particular Nick Robinson) is extremely unprofessional and childish which makes me much less likely to listen to what Guido writes.
shut it toenails
You must be new here anonymong.
On average Guido has about half-a-dozen feuds and a dozen pointless vendettas running at any one time. A few peurile spats flare up, plus occasional career-killing death matches.
Prescott, Hain, Draper and McBride all fought hard and came off worse.
The likes of Bercow, Robinson and Guido have been bickering for twenty or so years. Hard to tell who will win in the end.
People come here precisely because of this, you really should stick to the BBC or getting your daily newpaper.
He must be new
didn’t he read the masthead slogan?
…of plots rumours and conspiracy involving self-obsessed personality feuds and bickering of earthshattering importance
at least I think it says that
Yep, I think it does actually say that.
“We no longer have news cycles, we have news streams… “
Yeah, right. That’s the mentality of narcissistic muppets who gave us BBC News 24, which is essentially 24 minutes’ worth of news per day, desperately padded-out with 23 hours 36 minutes of regurgitated shit.
“23 hours 36 minutes of regurgitated shit”
That should be 23 hours 36 minutes of regurgitated BIASED shit
By pathetic out of touch people who have had their teeth whitened at our expense. Tossers all!
You have left out the 10 minutes of meaningless self-puffery and adverts for other BBC products and services. It looks as though the BBC is working hard to get its punters on-line before the license fee ends. Watch for the suggestions that its on-line services be spun off or privatised – and the killing that will make for those running them.
Opps – I meant ten minutes per hour = 4 hours a day.
Anyways you ain’t Reuters and no one wants you to be, so why worry. Its the dirt and troughing we want them to hang for and the wars we want waged are on corrupt, totalitarian, marxist, perverted student politicians – stick with your competitive advantage Fleet Street can’t do it.
“makes me much less likely to listen to what Guido writes.”
How do you listen to what someone writes?
Maybe he has a noisy keyboard?
Politics to me is about point scoring you score points off the opposition benches ,your opposite number even in some cases offyour own party it’s a back stabbing,cut throat business done by people who would sell their own mother’s people with no morals no shame and no feelings over time it has to rub off on the jurno’srubs off on the jurno’s aswell
“… that is the story so you should report it and leave it at that.”
See that Guido? You’re are being told what to do by an anonymong.
Doesn’t that remind you of someone that holds true to a particular, let’s say, Fabian walk of life?
6, ALL journalists and bloggers are the same. Getting the story up first is great fun! We all do it, in one way or another.
Welcome to our world. Of course, if you don’t like it, don’t visit!
trying to ignore a story we don’t like is even more fun
Yes it jolly well is
Yawn, does it really matter who broke the story first?
The main point is that Brown is such a poor leader and has so little support from his so called followers that some of them conspire to oust him every few months.
He has presided over the worst government for at least eighty years (probably much longer) and has ruined the finances of the country. At least he will be gone this year.
” At least he will be gone this year”
And you’re happy to leave it at that eh.?
Well Hitler and his henchmen got more come uppance for the destruction they caused and the Brown bastards + US banksters need their own Nuremberg right out there on parliament square.
Rig up the stocks, try them afterwards.
talking of which, Balls and Mandleson are looking more and more like something from the 30s/40s with their carefully flicked hair
These utter c*unts – the whole Labour cabinet – must be executed and buried in wasteground – no exceptions.
I can see that who breaks a story first may matter to those who break news and even rumour. If it’s what you DO, why not? And the idea of the scoop is well-established.
But I think it also gives the reader an inkling as to how close to the action the journo or blogger may be. This adds to the interest in, and credibility of, the source.
I agree, it is of some interest to those in journalism but to the rest of us it is the accuracy of the story that is paramount; not who rushed into print first.

Guido this was posted at 12.05 post 343 on labours chances …….. post
BY Manchester Old Labour :he got this information from a senior labour back bencher
The brownites got wind of the plot and that several cabinet (the six named) were planning to speak out this weekend .
In a “false flag”opperation 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 fizzel out quickly and Leave Brown Looking Stronger
This took the real oppersition to Brown by suprise and has now left them in a bit of a Quandary on what to do !
Sounds Bang On to me !
and has all the hallmarks of Mandelson on it !
possible but still leaves milliband now looking like he hes a wet liberal.
But it all fits in
why the named rebels only half heartedly gave McBust their support and Millitwat must have been the front man due to the length of time it took him to come out of hiding (after the nokia’s had finished flying ) even Darling could have been in on it i read somewhere today he squared up to Brown yesterday and asked him to step down for the “Good of the Party” if nothing happens by say thursday then its over ! but i still think they could regroup this weekend !
Capitalisation = 0
Punctuation = 0
Grammar = 0
Suggest you ask for a refund from your English Language coach CW – clearly no improvement. Bottom of the class you lazy bastard.
That is the real story: who put Hoon and Hewitt up to it because neither of that pair is capabe of his/her own thinking. Was it Brown in order to spike a major plot or was it Harman who wanted to start the ball rolling?
In any case, Miliband confirms that he is the chump that we take him for. And I can’t believe that Mandelson had no involvement: find out what he was doing.
Guido,
For fucks sake, we all love you.
There’s no need to blow your own horn-we are here already!
Rule Anglosphere
Just telling the newbie the score – off to bed.
You normally don’t have trouble coming first do you Guido?
lovely satire Eric
wasted here of course
Actually purile humour at best with bargain basement innuendo about cock sucking and little Englanders.
Did pretty well then considering plot was hatched on boxing day ??
Enjoyable Andrew neil , although CW has to admitt that Diane Abbot Michael Portillo highlighted Millibands new tag , in that he lacks political courage !! and has effectively put doubts on wether he is has the qualities never mind the cajhonies , basically if he thought the ruin was wrong , he has decided to gamble the partys best effort .
Ruins ecnomic speech got off to a good humoured start , with peter backing him , it sounded tory , but then i thought hold on what about the cuts , and it went into pravda and tractor stats mode . the line that he would have saved more jobs than the tories is pure fantasy and the idea that he has saved jobs , which are in fact training positions is again just being decietfull with the british public . wether he can claim than an endless cycle of people in training to keep the unemployment figures down is proof that the economy is comming out of recession is a bit misleading , same as using the idea that his recession strategy is somehow better than the tory solution all totally unprovable drivel . I might buy the line that you have to train for jobs , but where are the jobs , and perhaps more how will the economy uptake jobs all missing from his attempt to regain the ecnomic iniative .
hash browns anyone ??
Sorry, don’t understand or comprehend any of this. Are you really this thick?
Anything from CW now ignored.
Also when the economy does start to (legitimately) improve and job vacancies begin to appear, most of the work will go to the Poles and other east europeans. Firms like to hire them because they will work hard for a couple of years then go home to be replaced by…more Poles. Also employment agencies, who handle the bulk of non public sector jobs these days, prefer them because they can employ them in groups ( and no need to do those tiresome reference or police checks). Letting in the east europeans in 2004 was one of the worst things that Blair-Brown did, but of course it improved their international standing so who g.a.f. for the national interest.
‘when the economy does to start to (legitimately) improve….’
Don’t hold your breath!! I’ll give it about 15 years – if we’re lucky.
And even when it does so it will be in spite of McBust’s efforts.
Hey, CW – if you leave out the space before each comma, you’ll be able to get your thoughts down on screen even quicker…
Just a writing tip.
mandelson
kicking balls in his balls i write the manifesto
I’d like to stick up a bit for anon. He(?) might be generally wrong, but there is a point lurking there.
OK – Bickering is fun, and if someone lies about who was first then minutes do matter. But be wary of being so anxious to be first that cross-checking is ignored and silly errors creep in. I would prefer to get news two minutes later that was reliable, if the other option was shooting from the hip and regularly missing.
Having said that, anything that shows Nick Robinson up for the incompetent prat that he is needs to be applauded. I have had occasion to address him on this subject on his blog, and the fool cannot understand constructive criticism…
Thanks for clearing that up. I’d been unable to sleep without knowing the answer.
Now for the big one: who broke the “who broke the Hoon-Hewitt scoop?” scoop?
Guido did of course
he’s always first to the big stories everyone is talking about
Not us.

I think Lord Mandelsun believes that not only is Broon his toy, all be it a rather perfunctory one, but the whole country is some sort of up-market game that he can play.
I suppose this is in some way feasible the closer he gets to absolute power. But whether he has a set of game rules he must ultimately adhere to, and he has been himself let lose in the playground so to speak, or he is playing as a true megalomaniac I’m not certain. One thing is certain though he could have only got as far as he has in a socialist environment.
If not first, fast
I know buying new mining equipment isn’t quite the same as getting the news out but when it comes to sizzling new technology, here at Kleinkudoeskop Unobtainium we prefer to let some other schuck be the supplier’s guinea pig. Indeed our motto so far as new stuff is concerned is always: Rush to be second.
With the modern phenomenon of 24 hour news and the rush to get stories out there’s always a risk you can get it wrong. Perhaps your USP could be: If not first, accurate.

Milliband was ripped by Portillo and Abbott. He truly does walk on banana skins.
For any leader to be able to lead. They have to be lucky, or at least be seen to be lucky.
Brown looks secure in his pre-election role. He could well be feeling even more secure after he gets a new one ripped in the GE. I predict a very serious Mental breakdown. He is running on auto-pilot at the moment. He must be feeling very lonely right now.
You really do need help. If there is anything that I can do, please let me know. You are doing quite a bit to undermine any possible residual sympathy that NuLabour ever had left. It just confirms how sick and twisted your controllers are.
He’s obviously a plant as Guido could get rid of this shitbag anytime he wished but chooses to keep him here in order to try and make some of his more extreme regular posters here seem less insane and vile by comparison

“It almost goes without saying that Guido tries to be first.”
Is this a seismic shift then – I thought you were plots rumour ‘n conspiracy and not claiming t be a newsbreaker <per se?
Still nice to be first though.
Who cares who was first?
I hate to correct you, but I was actually second, despite my best efforts.
David Milipede used to have a pronounced white tuft of hair at the front of his head, suggestive of the appearance of an unusual parrot in a walk-on role in a black and white movie.
Has anyone else observed its phased disappearance or guessed at why this endearingly comical white feather might be unwanted by its owner, currently backing down from a fight with Iceland over debt repayment?
http://www.pinknews.co.uk/images/miliband3.jpg
Indeed he did.
Where we originally came from – it’s roughly translated as a “buff monkey smudge”
hmmmm… Have you noticed our host’s white tuft?
The answer is probably that its slightly unusual and comical, and such wrinkles must be ironed out in politicians.
Just think how much mirth would have been saved if Darling had the sense to get the hair(/brow) dye out early enough in his career.
Where we originally came from – it’s roughly translated as a “buff monkey smudge”

Being first isn’t always a good idea. On everything I’ve been between six months and ten years ahead of the curve – know what that gets you? Everyone thinks you’re nuts. I recall my web development company in 1995 – “The web? What’s that?” said all my prospective customers, “Why would an estate agent need a web site?” the fucktards asked…
Sigh.

I do remember seeing a fax and a windows-like OS on TW (perhaps a mac).
I can’t remember them promising cars that hardly ever break down. Seemed too far in the future in the 1970′s when i recall the doors not staying on properly (top gear confirms this memory).
I wrote about e-readers ten years ago at index on censorship too – even suggested names – ebook, ibook. There’s some way to go with that though – I figured the money would be in book clubs – eg, you sign up, get a new book in wireless increments slipped to you over the course of a week, or just swipe the thing past a pillar in waterstones of smiths to get one slapped in. Content provision and repeat sales – that is the key.
I’m sur eit’s always been like this, but in the past, I think if you were ten years ahead that would be too much, but five eyars would probalby be okay. *Now* the window of opportunity is narrowing – if you’re just six months ahead of the conceptual zeitgeist you won’t find backers or customers who can grasp it. Eventually time to market cycles will be down to twenty minutes, and if you spend more than five mins on the khazi one day you’ll be bust for life.
Mind, perhaps we should be looking at markets in the Uk in fifty years? I predict a big opportunity for dung soup, and wallpaper designed for mud huts.

Nail. Head. Hammer.
So Harriet Harman made it a condition of her support for Brown that she got more control during the election (that should seal labours fate then) and want more “respect” from the PM’s staff. What a c’unt she could do with a bending over the front benches for a fucking spit roasting
Oh, no! Don’t burst me, boys.
You up for it Thumper?
We could play a game of cards on her back.
And slap hi – fives.
Bagsy me for the mouth first.
She doesn’t like A.T.M.
why doesnt she like Automated Teller Machines
hahahaha
“HARRIET HARMAN” FFS That women is far more dangerous than Mc Broon. A total nutter. The UK would be totaly fucked should she became PM, which thankfully is unlikely. These sort make Labour what it is today, along with another loony Straw, two faced back stabber. The millitwats, Edd Bullshit The list is long and worrying.
I’m sure Harman is accorded all due respect. Ie fuck all. I saw her on Question Time once – utterly fucking useless until an opportunity to wheel out her pre-prepared rant about ‘equality’ and suchlike guff came up and she was off.
Utterly unbelievably shit. Like some five year old stumbling over their lines in the nativity play. No belief, no understanding, no conviction – just a little niche of idiocy she has found that pushes a few buttons for the demented wimmin and equality and suchlike fuckwits that congregate around socialists. Just as John Prescott was the thick, ignorant, working class imbecile that one million knee-jerk Labour-voting Geordies could identify with then Harman is the focal point for a million or so pillow-hugging misandrists and bedwetting ‘diversity’ co-ordinators.
The old Nu-Labour cabinet was like a new series of Strictly Come Dancing. They’ve got a representative of every socialist caricature you can imagine to try and keep the punters interested. The ignorant northerner, the dour Scot, the lemon-sucking feminist, the fat school teacher, the power couple, the gay one, etc etc.
And the output was exactly as you’d expect from such utterly fucking talentless jackasses. A wrecked economy, unnecessary, expensive wars, the social fabric of the UK in meltdown and these glib fuckwits gurning out of our screen with their condescending bullshgit 24/7.
What rank amateurs and arseholes.
As ever, a very insightful piece – correct in every point.
Harman literally cannot string a sentence together.
Couldn’t put it better, spot on JM2
“a representative of every socialist caricature you can imagine to try and keep the punters interested”
Spot on.
I think the feminists have caused a whole host of problems for the Country generally and for millions of families. Unless you are like Harman and have a great job etc you really can’t have it all! Look at Jacqui Smith – home in London – not seeing the kids and the hubby on porn. You can’t work full time, have kids etc and do it all successfully and Harman who tells women to do everything is leading a nation of depressed mums.
Ano-oral or vago-oral roasting? I think she’s probably a stickyarse, so I’d preferentially avoid the first option.
A Dirty Sanchez, more like!
Surely all this electioneering before an election is called is illegal. They are campaigning whilst on goverment business paid for by us. Therefore they are using their official capacity to make speeches, spout bollocks and generally campaign for votes and the idependants and fringe parties are being marginalised even though we all want them represented in fagins den after the GE
Labour have been electioneering on government business paid for by the tax payer for the past 12+ years, whats new? Government slogans and advertising on prime time TV, they are past masters at it and get away with. The cabinent country wide visits, scandle, but thet get away with it. They have got away with the scandle this week. Divided cabinent, we deserve better.
They’ll need to get their twitter names sorted out (styling yourself JohnPrescottMP will not be allowed) before the dissolution of parliament: hence the delay

I see no.10, no doubt balls/whelan, have launched a witch-hunt to find the cabinet ministers who were behind yesterday’s attempted coup.
Well that should unite the government nicely around gordon then.
And to compound their misery even further , a YouGov poll out today, gives the conservatives a 12 point lead. Where’s that hung parliament now?
Must be a slow news day, to fight over a damp squib

Abject.
Mentally ill c*unt. He’ll get his collar felt, one day. Hopefully, not by the police…
Yes, utterly sick. I know we don’t do ‘offensive’ on this site but I think it probably qualifies nonetheless.
Brown is so lacking in any morals,scruples or sense of right or wrong,that he simply cannot see that he resembles a 3rd world tin pot dictator (the kind he throws so much of OUR money at) in his attempts to ignore reality and cling so desperately to the office to which he was never elected.
In fact,many of these African dictators probably have a greater right to their office than this odious leech Gordon Brown.
Gordon Brown – the most hated man in Britain.
It’s mainly the press/TV and bloggers that are obsessed by who breaks the story first (for obvious professional reasons I suppose). Personally, I couldnt give a toss if its 12.15 or 12.17 that I get the story, it’s more important the content is accurate and of a decent quality. The decent blogs like this one (can I get my t-shirt now Guido?) add humour and opinion, whereas TV etc have “jobworths” and that sit on the fence and say nothing meaningful, hence why many prefer blogs.
Hey – message to Himmler Balls and his grotty boy wonder wife Cooper;
You are both finished – you will never get any further in your political lives.
You are detested and hated by millions of Brits.
Fuck off and peddle your scum policies in another world.
Does this mean we might not be able to count on your vote if/when Gordon plucks up the courage to call an Election ?
Gorgon has no courage whatsoever to pluck-up or otherwise. He’s a rank coward who prefers to hide away while continually plotting and scheming how to gain more power and undermine his enemies, real or imagined, he’s been doing just that for all of his political career it’s how and why he is in the place he’s in today.
Mrs. Brown – not as seen on Twitter
See my last comment has been disappeared, but this is fun, too:

harman pleads guilty – ha ha ha
Hopefully to Treason ??
I see Hattie Harman has been fired and given points for her bad driving. Hardly given a mention on the BBC, but remember when Cameron was caught cycling through a red light? the BBC made it the top story for hours.
The BBC says that Miliband gave luke-warm support (after about 7 hours) for Brown.
That’s a lie.
Miliband’s “support” was 100% support for the labour party, absolutely no support for Brown.
What he actually said (before he “clarified” things 24 hours later) was that he supported the labour party, and that Gordon Brown happens to be leading the labour party at the moment.
At no time on that initial statement did Miliband support Brown himself.
In fact, his statement was the exact opposite; he basically said that he’ll go into the election trying to get as many labour votes as possible, regardless of who the leader is. He implied that they should either change leader, or just ignore brown and do the best they can with a shit situation/leader.
