Bercow Reported to Standards Commissioner

After Guido’s story yesterday about the controversial and murky “Friends of Speaker Bercow“ fund-raising group, it seems a member of UKIP in the Speaker’s constituency has put a complaint in to John Lyon about a letter he received. Guido imagines Bercow wouldn’t have been so stupid to have used the Speaker’s stationary to beg for money, but the secretary of the fund has said Bercow was responsible for drawing up and passing on names. If the allegations that potential donors were invited to the Palace of Westminster are investigated then this could be a serious problem for the embattled squeaker…

          Which Squeaker ? Dave or Bercow ?

          Because Dave, CCHQ and Bercow’s local constituency are campaigining for him to win, like it or not.

          • your kippers are done says:

            Buckingham Tories ordered by CCHQ to campaign for John Bercow or stay silent

            Francis Elliott reported that “the Tory leader has made clear to party members in Mr Bercow’s Buckingham constituency that he will eject anyone found helping Nigel Farage, standing for UKIP against the Speaker at the election.”

            At the time of Nigel Farage’s decision to oppose Mr Bercow as MP for Buckingham – after speaking to CCHQ – I wrote that “Tories in Buckingham will be free to vote for Nigel Farage but CCHQ worries about publicity coup for UKIP.”

            The same source in CCHQ tells me that the position has hardened at the request of local Tories who do not want their members to support UKIP in any election, even one where there is no official candidate

          • THE SPEAKER MUST DIE FOR THE GOOD OF DEMOCRACY says:

            Farage is going crush Bercow.
            Bercow is a Labour stooge, Bercow is scum.

          • Memory Man says:

            The golden rule – you cannot belong to the Conservatives and campaign for another party. They made the call on this with Stuart Wheeler which given how much he donates is a much tougher one than some local activist.

            Enforcing this rule is not the same as campaigning for Bercow.

            IMPORTANT MESSAGE:

            It has been drawn to my attention that a certain N. Farage is standing for election in Buckinghamshire. This is a safe seat, held by my good friend and former colleague John Bercow, now our esteemed Speaker.

            Let me be clear on this awful and some might say opportunistic move by Mr. Farage, it is nothing short of disgraceful and I urge all members of my party, to ignore it and give no support to the unprincipled upstart, Mr. Farage.

            Further, I just want to say, that if I do hear, or discover, anyone from my party is giving aid, support or advice to Mr. Farage, or any of his team, they will be thrown out of my party and de-selected immediately from any position they hold.

            I want to make it perfectly clear, that if anyone from my party goes against my demands and tries in any way, to get a Conservative like Farage, elected in Buckinghamshire, then they can kiss goodbye to being a member of my party.

            Finally and I want to be perfectly clear about this, I have worked tirelessly to change my party, into a modern, progressive and I am not ashamed to say, red tory party.

            Frankly those who still believe in such outdated notions as democratic accountability, sovereign nation states, reducing vital non government agencies, like the Carbon Trust for instance, who are doing extremely important work to help us reduce our carbon footprint and prevent catastophic climate change, belong in the dark ages.

            My message is simple, time has moved on, my party has moved on, people like Farage and his band of little englanders, can whine all they like about their obsessions regarding freedom, whatever that is, or outdated democracy, my party point the way to the future, a future of corporate co-operation, unelected third sector agencies and working with our partners in the EU for the new and exciting post democratic age.

          cassandra king says:

          The actual real Tory party is now UKIP and the new fake tory sellouts are in fact the new euro social democrats, confusing eh?

          Anyone who wants to vote for the real Tory party must ignore the pathetic fakes of honest Dave and vote for UKIP.

          • Mr Ned says:

            True enough. The social democrats infiltrated the labour party, took it over after a long spell in opposition and ripped out its soul. It’s soul was wrong on almost every issue, but it used to mean something.

            The social democrats (a very Orwellian doublethink name) replaced labour’s heart with a hollow and treasonous “third way” philosophy of giving our sovereignty and our governance away to a foreign power without ANY democratic legitimacy. Of privatising social provision, (they privatised more of the NHS than Thatcher! they sell off publicly owned organisations cheap to their “Third sector cronies” and continue to pump tax-payers money into them). They have a philosophy of privatising profit and socialising loss in the economy

            Now, these same “third way” social democrats have infiltrated and taken over the top of the conservative party in the same way and seek to rule the UK on the EU’s behalf. That is why Cameron is trying to use Blair’s election strategy from 1997 to win in 2010.

            Choosing between labour and the tories is like trying to choose between live cancer and lung cancer.

            I would rather vote for a cure.

          • Steve Expat says:

            …and see Gordon Brown re-elected? No thanks.

            Vote Tory this time and see Labour implode, then by the next election there might be a proper choice of non-socialist parties to vote for, including UKIP.

          • backwoodsman says:

            Oh, FFS, leave the tin foil hat in the cupboard, or we are stuck with another 5 years of labour insanity – in which case my business, along with thousands more, will be toast.
            We can have a little domestic, about how right wing we want to be, once labour are gone.

          • Mr Ned says:

            “Vote Tory this time and see Labour implode,”

            you are joking, right?

            If the tories win, labour and the BBC will delight in endlessly informing the public that the tories are now to blame for the enduring ‘recession without end’ (the one that WILL continue regardless of who actually wins) and they will be blamed for all the cuts. There will be little, if any, talk of how essential these cuts are, or how they started under labour, or how it is labour’s insanely and criminally negligent mishandling of the economy that has directly caused the cuts. Not a word of it. It will be non-stop, labour gave us growth, the tories KILLED the recovery dead like we said they would!!!

            Meanwhile the EU will actively prevent the tories from implementing any of the necessary changes in business law that are needed to rebuild our economy and businesses will continue to collapse and go to the wall. Even with a tory victory, we WILL have a continuation of “new labour’s third way” implemented from Brussels by Von Rompuy’s unelected lot.

            So the economic misery will continue, the EU will not bail us out and we will be prevented from making the necessary changes in our laws to restructure the economy according to our needs. the EU will continue to force us to take in any number of economic migrants and put them up in luxury at the tax-payer’s expense. So the misery will continue. The EU will force employers to give pregnant women FULL pay whilst on maternity leave of 20 weeks. So the economic misery will continue.

            The tories will become even more reviled and hated and blamed and labour and the BBC will have a field day blaming the tories for the economic failure of Labour and the EU. The tories will be hates and labour will be back in power for a generation.

            Would having a labour win in March/April or May be worse than the above? It would not make any real difference, except labour will not be able to shift the blame!

            So I would rather see a minority Brown/Clegg Government (one that the tories, unionists and others could beat in a vote in the commons) limp on for another year and see labour finally be seen for causing the scale of the recession that we are still in. As I have stated, the policies of both main parties are basically the same though, hence the choice between labour and tory being the same as having a choice between having liver or lung cancer.

            So you would rather vote for cancer, than for a cure. Fine, be suicidal!

            There is NO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE between labour and tory policies.

            They both will be rubber stamping up to 80% of the laws they pass as they are imposed on us from the EU anyway.

            The only difference in their manifestos should be the colour. The words should be, we will do what we are bloody well told to do by the EU!

            They are both run by racist, sexist politically correct climate cultists who will surrender more and more of our power to the EU and keep overspending on quangos and waste whilst cutting front line, essential services. If Cameron wins, then we will never get the “third way” traitors out of the tory party as he will change the rules for a contest making it almost impossible to shift him from the head of the party.

            Voting UKIP is the only way to ensure a hung Parliament and the eventual return to sanity in British politics.

            The question is this: what is the point of voting Tory?
            To get Brown out? Brown is a dead man politically speaking, so that old chestnust just won’t wash.
            The Tory Trolls argument is rather like saying one should choose Dr Crippin over Dr Shipman as their doctor because Crippin killed less people. An absolutely crap argument.

            Do you imagine Brown will last five minutes after the election?

            What is undeniable, is that there is nothing between the three main parties on anything. They are dancing on a pin head of “ideas” and offering no alternative, to the road we have been on for years.

            Have you ever wondered why this useless, awful, most wretched government, is not dead and buried coming into this election? I put it to you, the reason why people are at best luke warm over Camerons tories, is because he offers no real, discernable alternative, to the shit that has been thrown at us from NuLabia or the EU for the last 13 years.

      Slightly O/T but the Nu Wawk Times has the following quote which I haven’t seen elsewhere (& not on this blog)

      “Stories of Mr. Brown’s poor interpersonal skills have wafted around Westminster for years. But Mr. Rawnsley’s book, “The End of the Party,” which was excerpted in The Observer of London on Sunday, lays it on particularly thick. It portrays Mr. Brown as paranoid, bullying, chaotic and exhausted. It says he is prone to making profanity-laced tirades, shoving his employees, stabbing the upholstery of his limousine with a pen, smashing office equipment and using unsecured objects as projectiles.

      “Over the years I’ve had all sorts of things thrown at me — newspapers, pens, Coke cans,” one aide is quoted as saying. An applicant for a Downing Street job says in the book that he hastily withdrew his application when asked in his interview whether he was prepared to enter a workplace full of “ ‘extreme physical abuse’ and violence done to objects.” ”

      Seems like the violence and destruction portrayed in “In The Loop” was closer to the truth than I realised…

    One of the things the Tory party needs to do is to explain the Country’s financial situation in words and phrases that everyone can understand immediately and cannot be spun or deliberately misinterpreted.

    Even on this Blog there is confusion between total debt and annual deficit, I am sure that a lot of it is still above the average voter’s head.

      The B&P probably can’t even understand the problem; UKIP have other fish to fry; LibDems, forget it; so we depend entirely on the Tories to do a proper job of opposition – and they fail us.

          Why else would he be cosying up to Labour if he wasn’t ready to join them and his missus is one of them as well. Why would they, almost exclusively, elect him to the Speaker’s chair. He had virtually no support from anyone else. How much have his views changed from when he was younger.
          He is an opportunist (bit like Blair) who will say and do anything to get power and keep it. He even stated he would not be against the idea of a new constituency being created for MP’s themselves and of course he was to be the very MP. That’s when he heard that Farage was standing against him in the forthcoming election. He will do anything to stay in his nice cosy chair and free apartment.
          I hope the good people of Buckingham will turf him out. They may have to have a UKIP MP in the short term but he can always be replaced by a true blue next time round.

As I recall Sally Bercow started off as a Tory but drifted off to Labour when Blair came along – along with millions of other Tory voters. Hardly a case of reds under the bed.

            Tory support – I remember Charles Walker a Tory MP dragging him to the Chair, Douglas Carswell MP saying he voted for him, ditto Julian Lewis MP and David Lidington and the other Tory MPs for Buckinghamshire being present at the launch of the Campaign to relect John Bercow today in the constituency.

            So no we wont have Mr Rent a Quote Junketing MEP in Buckingham – we are going to re-elect the guy who has been a good constituency MP for us over the last 12 years John Bercow.

    For N.Farage is it a great job sitting in the EU parliament with a wage of +/- 4000,00 € and just giving people bad names…is he representing his voters ? Is he representing the average englishman ? He’s enjoying his job , just giving comment on everything without giving bright ideas ! No,an average belgian citizen is brighter and more polite than N.Farage…
