      Not really.
      Gordon told Dave what he thought Dave’s policies were and then didn’t answer any questions.
      But he DID, almost, admit to lying to Chilcot.
      Apparently defence spending has increased year on year since 1997 only if you don’t count the years that it didn’t.

        ROFL, good one.

        Cleggy obviously had a swig of the “angry juice” that Cam had last week and “squtheamed and squtheamed”. No “angry juice” for Cam this week, both him and Brown were poor. No fisticuffs.

        The best bit was when that SNP bloke tried to ask a question and the LibDems kept muttering “Sean Connery”.

          yes that was very interesting as they drowned out the question which was about purcell. Was very noticeable the clown on BBC also started speaking so we could not hear what the reply was.

          Me thinks the Scottish LibDems are involved in the corruption in Glasgow or were being arse fucked by purcell and his gay band of merry gangsters.

            I caught this part and yes the BBC played something over the SNP’s question… but most tellingly, Brown gave exactly the same response, word for word, he thought up for the question about his £50k slush fund in the exercise book a few weeks ago exactly.

            I think he’s been advised and rehearsed with ‘what to do about a career-threatening question’.

      Started with Brown being proved a liar over armed forces funding, continued with Brown being made to look timid and evasive in the face of union power, and ended with some Tory plonker wasting what could have been a searching question on Whelan’s influence in No.10. On balance, Brown looked weak, Cameron perhaps a little too cocky, and Clegg just unheard.

        Cam did not ask about defence funding. Cam clearly been told by Coulson to play the “remember 1979″ card, but was Coulson even born then, Cam was, but would he have known what was going on in the outside world when he was in Eton? Seems a bit silly, there are plenty of things to bash Brown on but the union thing was just silly.

        Cam should have asked more questions about defence funding since clearly Brown was on the backfoot, but for some reason Cam can never follow through. What’s wrong with the tosser?

    Martin Day says:

    One of Gordon Brown’s senior officials at No 10 is entirely paid by the Unite trade union, the Standard reveals today.

    Clare Moody, a national officer for the trade union behind the BA cabin crew strike has been given a desk in the Prime Minister’s powerful political office that deals with policy development and government relations.

    Although she works in the heart of Downing Street, her salary and pension are “100 per cent” met by the giant trade union.

    Well well well

    so they are effectively running the country now.

  25. 65
    Martin Day says:

    The Standard telephoned Ms Moody via the Downing Street switchboard this morning. She answered with her name at her desk in the political office, where four other senior staffers are based.

    Asked if the union paid her salary, she replied: “Can I get back to you. This has come a bit out of the blue. I will come back to you.”

    She works at No 10 with Joe Irvine, the Prime Minister’s political secretary, a former Unite national official, whose salary is paid for by the Labour Party.

    Ray Collins, Labour’s general secretary, also used to work for the union and is described as “extremely friendly towards Unite”.

    It also emerged today that a string of powerful figures at Unite, including leader Tony Woodley and Political Director Charlie Whelan, have been given security passes to the House of Commons by Labour MPs or the party.

    A Downing Street spokesman said: “She is in the political office which is staffed by political appointees of the government at the time.”

    The spokesman would not confirm who paid her salary but said it did not come from public funds. Neither No 10 nor the Labour Party would confirm or deny that Ms Moody was unique in being paid by a trade union rather than a party.

    A Labour spokesman described her as being on secondmnet from the uunion and said previous governments had a political office staffed by party appointees.

    He said her salary was declared as a gift from the union to the Electoral Commission.

    New Labour goes back to the old days as Charlie Whelan returns

    “In 90 key seats the Unite membership is larger than the current Labour majority,” said Whelan.

    “If almost every Unite member voted Labour, we would win the election. If the union delivers votes it has a lot more influence than if it simply delivers cash. That is the brutal truth.”

    • 113
      jgm2 says:

      What a fucking mathematical muppet. The majority of UNITE members will already vote Labour. They already constitute the ‘majority’. Even if they continue to vote Labour they will not overwhelm the massive numbers of returning Tory voters or the stay-at-home Labour voters or the defect to B&P Labour voters.

      What a fucking mathematical jackass that Whelan is. Just like his boss.

      • 123
        Moley says:

        Whelan is obviously thinking of the return to the Block vote where the Union delegate voted for all the Union members at the Labour conference.

        3 delegates hold up their pale and pudgy hands and that’s 2 million votes in favour of clause IV.

        The kind of democracy which Whelan and Labour wish to revisit.

        • 169
          Mr Ned says:

          Well we know what will happen now. As soon as the election is called, the unions will be inundating all the public sector employees with threats that if they do not vote labour, they will lose their jobs!

          • AC1 says:

            Lose their non-jobs.

          • Mr Ned says:

            No AC1, the union will be telling the Nurses and teachers and police that it is their jobs that will be on the line too!

            They probably would not even bother telling the non-job people as they are already sweating shit about their jobs, whoever wins the election.

  33. 86
    Martin Day says:

    Any awkwardness Whelan may experience at being caught between two masters is likely to be diminished by the most important target, of a looming ballot and securing a victory for Brown.

    Unite gave £3.5 million last year to Labour (a quarter of donations the party receives). Whelan may be called political director but much of his time is occupied by Labour’s marginal seats campaign (he’s also been drafted in to help Brown on the election media strategy).

    “It’s where the election will be won and lost. His brief is to counter Michael Ashcroft,” said a friend of Whelan, referring to the Tories’ major backer and organiser of their efforts in the “must win” constituencies.

      Then whatever labour says, you hit back with saying it is just more lies from labour’s loony left!

      So if you’re a Labour marginal it’s a choice between Lord Ashcroft – set up Crimestoppers, saved Victoria Crosses for the nation, helps injured troops gives hundreds of thousands to charity and will leave his billions to good causes when he dies.

      Or Wheelan/Unite – original GB spin doctor/Labour attack dog, who is not only going to wreck Easter for thousands of hardworking families who fancy a break, but demolish our national airline.

      No brainer.

    Martin Day says:

    It’s all a bit close for Gordon Brown’s comfort. Six weeks before an election, a spectre is haunting Labour.

    The British Airways strike and the behaviour of the Unite union behind it is such a throwback to Seventies militancy that it would be no surprise if the participants were to emerge wearing flares and humming You Won’t Get Me, I’m Part of the Union.

    Well, they might, at this rate, get Mr Brown into a lot of trouble. His weakest link is that he is far more often behind the curve than ahead of it. He should have announced when industrial action was first mooted last year that it was an unreasonable and foolish imposition on an economy that was still perilously close to the double-dip doldrums.

      Perhaps Unite want to unseat Brown as much as they want to destroy BA and have a fight with the Torys. Perhaps Unite are resigned to a labour defeat and are quietly backing someone else to emerge as leader.

        If that happens edballs and the thug whelan will take labour so far to the left that they’ll never get re-elected.

        German, French and American Unions giving advice to Unite on how to bring down an airline, I would have thought ‘Alki Aida’ would have been Unite’s first choice there!!

        Seriously though, how thick is Messrs Woodley and Whelan? German, French and American airlines stand to benefit after they have taught unite to destroy BA.

          Another point is that the timing of this strike is just perfect for the Conservatives who privately can probably barely believe their luck. Here we are on the cusp of a General Election where Labour have pulled themselves almost back into contention and along comes Unite and Labours bad old brothers from the past. Just like they killed off the Callaghan Government in 1979 the brothers might just be able to deliver the final blow to Browns dysfunctional pile of crap. Nice to see Labours very welcome return to the self destructive policies of the past.

    Senior No 10 official is paid entirely by Unite trade union

    17.03.10

    One of Gordon Brown’s senior officials at No 10 is entirely paid by the Unite trade union, the Standard reveals today.

    Clare Moody, a national officer for the trade union behind the BA cabin crew strike has been given a desk in the Prime Minister’s powerful political office that deals with policy development and government relations.

    Although she works in the heart of Downing Street, her salary and pension are “100 per cent” met by the giant trade union.

    The disclosure comes amid serious concern in Labour circles about the massive and growing influence over the Labour Party wielded by Unite – and the four-day delay before the Prime Minister directly criticised the union over the British Airways dispute.

    Lord Mandelson is known to be deeply concerned that the union is effectively carving up Labour selection meetings to control the next intake of Labour MPs. He made a pointed stand last night to help a Blairite moderniser onto the shortlist in James Purnell’s old parliamentary seat, in defiance of Unite officials who had blocked the choice.

    Ms Moody is one of several senior officials at No 10 who are described as being “hugely influenced by Unite” and the left-wing policy agenda that it espouses.

    The Standard telephoned Ms Moody via the Downing Street switchboard this morning. She answered with her name at her desk in the political office, where four other senior staffers are based.

    Asked if the union paid her salary, she replied: “Can I get back to you. This has come a bit out of the blue. I will come back to you.”

    She works at No 10 with Joe Irvine, the Prime Minister’s political secretary, a former Unite national official, whose salary is paid for by the Labour Party.

    Ray Collins, Labour’s general secretary, also used to work for the union and is described as “extremely friendly towards Unite”.

    It also emerged today that a string of powerful figures at Unite, including leader Tony Woodley and Political Director Charlie Whelan, have been given security passes to the House of Commons by Labour MPs or the party.

    The passes give the union barons a free run of the Commons estate, including access to bars and lobbies where they can approach MPs. They could also use Commons facilities like the library researchers if they were listed as a researcher to an MP.

    The Conservatives called on the Commons authorities to crack down on trade union passes.

    Tory MP Ben Wallace said: “Union bully boys like Charlie Whelan and Tony Woodley strut around Parliament like they own the place.

    “As BA passengers struggle to make alternative holiday plans, the Labour Party engages in buying votes and twisting the truth with union money.”

    Mr Woodley has a pass from Labour MP Rob Marris while Mr Whelan’s is sponsored by the Labour Party HQ.

    Ms Moody also has a Commons pass, courtesy of Labour select committee chairman Terry Rooney. She is listed in the Commons records as an officer for Amicus, Unite’s predecessor union. She flew to America in 2008 on behalf of the union to study the presidential elections and learn lessons for Labour’s campaign for a fourth term. She stood for Parliament in 2005 in Salisbury, trailing third.

    A Downing Street spokesman said: “She is in the political office which is staffed by political appointees of the government at the time.”

    The spokesman would not confirm who paid her salary but said it did not come from public funds. Neither No 10 nor the Labour Party would confirm or deny that Ms Moody was unique in being paid by a trade union rather than a party.

    A Labour spokesman described her as being on secondmnet from the uunion and said previous governments had a political office staffed by party appointees.

    He said her salary was declared as a gift from the union to the Electoral Commission.

    IN THE REAL WORLD

    A total of 10.6 million people either did not have a job, or have stopped looking for one, according to figures from the Office for National Statistics, which indicated that more people than ever before had abandoned the workplace – choosing instead to study, go on sick leave or just give up searching for a job.

    A record 149,000 left the workforce and became “economically inactive”, between November last year and January, the ONS said. These people more than offset the fall in the headline unemployment.

    YET MORE LIES

    Gordon Brown admits: I was wrong on defence spending
    Gordon Brown has admitted he was wrong to claim that he increased defence spending in real terms every year.

  77. 330
    “Brown is a compulsive liar, he has no truth in his soul. He’s a liar” says:

    The Prime Minister said that claims he had made in the House of Commons and in evidence to Sir John Chilcot’s Iraq Inquiry had been incorrect.

    Mr Brown, who has faced intense criticism over his support for the Armed Forces, had repeatedly insisted that as Chancellor, he made real increases in the defence budget every year.

    However, offcial figures from the Ministry of Defence show that, allowing for inflation, its budget fell in five years: 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2002 and 2007.

    Challenged about his claim during Prime Minister’s Questions, Mr Brown made a rare admission of errror.

    “I do accept that in one or two years, defence expenditure did not rise in real terms,” he told MPs.

    Mr Brown said is now writing to Sir John Chilcot to amend his evidence to the inquiry.

    The Prime Minister’s admission is a political victory for David Cameron, the Conservative leader, who challenged him about the figures last week in the Commons.

    By amending his evidence to the Chilcot panel, Mr Brown may bolster the case for recalling him for another evidence session later this year.

    “Brown is a compulsive liar, he has no truth in his soul. He’s a liar” says:

    Gordon Brown was today forced into a humiliating retreat in his battle against retired generals who accuse him of giving disingenuous evidence on military funding to the Iraq Inquiry.

    The Prime Minister told the House of Commons that he now accepted that his evidence had been wrong. He admitted that defence spending “did not rise in real terms” in every year under the Labour government and said he had written to Sir John Chilcot to clarify his controversial claims.

    Throughout his testimony, Mr Brown repeatedly insisted that military spending had increased in every year since 1997 and claimed that every urgent operational request was met immediately.

    “Brown is a compulsive liar, he has no truth in his soul. He’s a liar” says:

    VERY INTERESTING COMMENT HERE

    The mistake Gordon made this time was in allowing the matter to become public and having to air dirty washing in public.

    Gordon appears to fair better at ignoring potential embarrassments to the Government thereby avoiding any potential evidential mistakes during inquiries, investigations, hearings etc.

    Do I hear you ask for an example?

    In June and July 2007 allegations of crime were reported to police at Belgravia against John Reid and Tony McNulty.

    The Prime Minister was informed of the complaints and crimes reported against his Ministers, the two CADS Incidents created by the Metropolitan Police and the Crime Reference Number created in accordance with the Home Office Counting Rules.

    But the reported crimes were never investigated………

  81. 344
    no more Boom n Bust eh? says:

    So Brown has been caught in another lie, and this one cannot be passed of as an opinion which has been shown to be wrong. He stated categorically at the enquiry that spending had always increased and had not affected equipment, further that the Armed Forces got whatever they asked for. More than that he has made the same statement to the House of Commons from the Despatch Box several times. Surely these are grounds for impeachment?

    There is another aspect to this as well. The last time he lied about this at the Despatch Box Denis Skinner and two other hard left MPs vilified the former Chiefs of Defence Staff and implied they had lied saying they “hey must be Tories. Gutless Gordon refused to refute this or distance himself from the attacks, these men must be forced to make an apology in a venue which is at least as public.

    At the time I said I knew who I would prefer to believe, seems I was right.
