Susie Squire Slips in to Spinning at the DWP for IDS

Guido is particularly pleased to add Susie Squire (pictured here briefing a senior political journalist) to the list of SpAds, bag carriers and wonks going over to government. She joins Philippa Stroud working at the DWP for Iain Duncan-Smith.  Formerly at the Taxpayers’ Alliance she will now be part of the team exorcising / reforming the welfare system.

Additions to the list include Richard Parr who follows Andrew Mitchell to DfID, Poppy Mitchell-Rose who goes with Osborne to the Treasury.  Honor Fishburn, daughter of Dudley Fishburn the former Tory MP for Kensington and Chelsea, goes to Downing Street to do Andy Coulson’s bidding and Cameron’s speech writing team of Ameet Gill and Claire Foges follow him from CCHQ to become the PM’s speech writing team.

There are still a few more names left to be confirmed…

    Why on earth do the Tories need these SpAds? Do they intend to deploy them to control their respective Civil Service departments?

    It’s becoming increasingly difficult to tell the three main parties apart.

            “Cameron’s speech writing team of Ameet Gill and Claire Foges follow him from CCHQ to become the PM’s speech writing team.”

            Proof that we have another actor not a leader, another bilderberg puppet who not only tell him what his policies will be but also tell him what to say in public.

            The NWO may as well just hire the man who played prime minister in yes priminister, he would probably be nmore convincing!

          • Dave is a corporate fascist puppet says:

            Oh and just so you know, once they have sold off whole sections of the welfare system to their corporate chums disguised as charity, it will cost you even more, just like the water and the gas and the electricity.

      Just a thought – if our great leaders actually told the truth they would have more time to consider the problems that face the country and would not need a ‘spinning’ team.

    The Number of SpAds directly correlates with the Dimness of the Minister says:

    But the whole point of these Spastics Pissing Away Dollars was for the Labour War party to circumvent and undermine the civil service.
    I thought the Tory party were supposed to be on good terms with civil servants but judging by the number of spastics they are hiring it seems as if they are merely picking up where Gordon Brown and Tony Blair left off.
    New politics?
    What a load of bollocks.

      Doesn’t it piss you off when these brothers join the toff aristocracy? All totally justifiable of course. Working to bring down the system from within ..

      The other lot will get a shock when Prezza gets stuck into the a la carte menu at the HOL (literally pile it all onto a cart in his case) 14 courses cooked by a five star chef and all for £1.50 (refundable), when he starts cracking off in the chamber the stench will be unbearable, reminiscent of the foul odours and airs experienced some centuries before wafting from the Thames, send for Dyno-Rod.

Tom Harris bemoans the public’s attitude to politicians…

“Mr Oborne echoes the lazy, anti-politics whine we hear so often these days, all based on the absurd notion that politicians were once loved and only fell out of public favour during the expenses scandal. He should take a walk to the Strangers’ Bar. But not to sup with the patrons he seems to despise so much, dearie me, no; he should instead look at the paintings on the corridor outside the bar, which depict the devastating fire which consumed most of the Palace in 1834. And he should reflect on the fact that on that dramatic night, as the Commons went up in flames, a crowd gathered on the South Bank to clap and cheer.”



Focus group time. says:

The thing that Dave needs to work out is which group is more likely to vote Conservative. Mad swivel-eyed loons or mad homosexuals wishing to get married.
