Agreeing With Tom Watson
Well it’s taking some getting used to for Guido, but Tom Watson is certainly taking to his new role as chief-thorn-in-the-coalition-side. One of the benefits of going from government to opposition is you know where the bodies are buried. He knows his way around the Cabinet Office too. Though he seems to have been stonewalled on getting the government hospitality wine cellar list published, he is aiming slightly higher now…
First there was his report on government cars and who has actually given them up and who hasn’t, now this morning he has released his research into private offices and found Hague costs the taxpayer three times more than Vince Cable. Caveats like security and breadth of brief aside, it makes for an interesting read. No surprise that Caroline Spelman feels she needs twelve personal staff to assist her at DEFRA.
Tom Watson is an ugly obese Huhne.
I think you’re too kind. Tom Watson is the septic jizz dripping off the rotten cock that is Labour.
Nuthn’s ma fult ye un’stn!
Washington asks for Lockerbie bomber’s medical records
Senators holding inquiry want Scottish government to hand over advice that led to release of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi
dont forget that some of these senators will not know that this whole thing was approved by the US Gov. No b jockeys!!!
did you see me on shooting stars last night? i were great
I hear that the ‘Scottish Government’ said they would respond in due course. Well done the Jocks for telling the Septics to “shove off”. What are they going to do if the Scots don’t respond, invade Glasgow?
glasgow economy more than 75% from state
basically it is a huge state funded prison/nursery/school/training centre/cafe for sitting around all day doing fook all/OAP home paid for by you and I, the tax payer
I would be happy if the Yanks invaded. They could set up a few non state businesses.
Smacks of typical Labour hypocrisy.
“We did sod all to stop the waste but now we’ll moan and whine when anyone else doesn’t do anything”
Tom Watson – utter #FAIL
Just like his mate John “Hippo-crite” Prescott. Moans about spending £15m on FO workers when his lot were doing it 4 months ago!!
John Prescott – utter #FAIL
Indeed. Pity he didn’t speak up a bit more when he was helping to rack up a £165 BILLION OVERSPEND. Not to mention the £1.2 TRILLION FUCKING DEBT.
Arsehole.
Labour – The Hypocrisy Continues
This dreadful little man spent 13 years in government, squandering and bribing his way through his dirty little socialist life, and now, he decides to complain about the new government and their efficiencies by looking for petty costs and items not yet addressed after only 3 months.
What a good-for-nothing little slime ball Twatson is. Not worth the air in his body. Filthy little socialist parasite mong.
Come on, Sir Trev. You are being far too nice.
Let’s hope Guido is keeping track of the cost of Tom Watson’s questions and the value they are adding to our lives as taxpayers.
Tom Watson is certainly a radio politician – certainly not one to watch on TV while having a meal.
The best comedy act on the BBC at the moment is when they dredge up a previous Labour Government lovely and watch them spout utter shite.
This porker along with the other self serving, useless, hypocritical, utter shambolic tw*ts should just shut it before my p*ss boils over.
As a guy who was No. 1 in the World Golf Rankings from 1978 to 1982 and in 1983 and 1984 was ranked second behind Seve Ballesteros, I’m agreeing with Tom too.
Nah. “Mr. Watson – Come here – I want to see you”, were the first words uttered by Alexander Graham Bell to Tom Watson, his assistant, in 1876.
Unfortunately, he did not last long enough to discover what texting, or sexting, would turn out to be.
And where was Watson when Labour pissed away £ 2 trillion ?
And he was in no 10 when Balls, Whelan, Macbrife & co wre smearing all and sundry..
Come on Guido…!
To be fair, what the fuck is the useless Spellman still doing in government let alone requiring 12 minions (although her kids don’t look after themselves!).
One gets the impression that DC read all about HenryIII and decided to model himself on the least successful ruler in British History. Henry the turd made Gordon look like a genius. Daves habit of protecting those who say nice things about him -however corrupt and useless they may be, is straight from Henry’s playbook. Unless checked by wiser heads, this habit will drop him in the deep and nasty in 2015.
A ) Trying to sort out defra and the associated bodies that hillarity benn pissed away tax payers money on.
If you can immagine the usual shambles labour make of every department, then magnify the effect, because its dealing with issues they genuinely don’t have a fucking clue about, you get some idea of the problems involved.
Spelman , irrespective of her childcare arrangements, at least understands the brief.
Watson is “tried, tested and failed”
Tom Watson is so rancid, even Jeffrey Dahmer would have felt sick looking at him.
He will go blind if he continues to drink and eat so much !
His eyes are already half-closed from obesity…
Why is he strapped to his chair? Is that a hostage photo?
Give you a hint honey – it’s to do wiv strap-ons and kinky ways – no wot oi mean?
I kept Caroline after “Nanny Gate” & all her dealings with you know who because “it was the right thing to do”.
End of. Now, did I tell you I was middle class?
I’m sick of this class crap!
Under Labour you had to be a pleb, or pretend to be one, in the usual attempt to pull everyone down to the lowest common denominator – and looked what happened.
What’s wrong with better people and things, to take things forward?
Hi my names Tony and I’m a pretty straight kind of guy. I have always loved the working class game of soccer. I remember well when I was a small lad my Dad took me to stand in the crowd at the Kop at Craven Cottage to watch Jackie Milburn score a six off Sir Stanley Matthews. Oh, yes, those were the days.
Nothing wrong at all.
But just like Princess Phony Bliar pretending to be down with the workers when it suited him I resent Dave “getting down with the middle class” coz he is obviously a toff, innit?
You cannot have his background, his wealth & his wife & connections without being very upper class indeed – just like all the mega rich political elite in this country.
Shame on you! this is just petty vindictiveness on the part of that fat you no what.
I’m now up to chapter 185,863 of my memoirs.
1. It was the nasty man’s fault.
2. He made me say it.
3. Nothing’s my fault.
4. Vote for me.
It was all Blinky’s fault…
Jolly good! 5% done. Keep at it son so we call all enjoy the book burning.
There will be a huge pulping and burning ceremony of Gordo’s, Mandelscum’s and the Grinning Ape’s books in front of the H of C…Amazon will pay us to take all this shit of their hands…
Where the leftie squatters have just been removed from…
On Guy Fawkes Day !!
I am prepared to wait for Guy Fawkes night, as long as we can burn the authors then, as well.
I love the hypocrisy of an ex Labour Minister trying to use FOI to find out the value of wine bought by Labour
Funny that he left the Gurning Goon’s No 10 just after Mcbride was caught defaming and smearing in adjeceent offices…
Did your FIO ever get any of Watson’s e-mails Guido ?
If not the new government should publish them…
That will be fun…
Tom Watson has two packs of Post Its on his desk. TWO! Does he think taxpayers are made of money
Ah – but I think you’ll find they’re two different sizes, – for different amounts of drivel.
Economy – innit?
The first one is for lies. The second is for lies to deny the lies. In fact, there must be a rather large pile of them out of shot.
A rather expensive looking Mac on his desk too. We pay for that Tom??
Probably a BlackBerry, or two, as well.
One pack is for the right hand and one for the left. A man in Watson’s position can’t have one hand knowing what the other is doing.
Arse wipes for the shit-for-brains, one for each ear!!
O/T but Jonah was on that other great Labour supporting show GMTV this morning supporting the Pakistan appeal…
That’s them buggered.
Aren’t they getting enough of our cash already?
The number of staff in a minister’s office is probably proportional to the mess his/her department was left in by the last lot.
Leave my son alone you nasty right-wing nazis.
Wasn’t he in the Spice Girls?
Its a bit meaningless unless he includes a comparison with what Labour cars/wine/offices/staff/travel/perks cost.
Order Order’s legacy will come under attack from the coalition Government today.
Liberal Democrat Energy and Climate Change Secretary Chris”Slapper” Huhne and Conservative Party chairman Baroness Warsi are holding a press conference promising to “expose” Order Order’s” wasted legacy of blogging in office”.
They will each tell a short joke before taking questions from reporters.
Heil! das schwanzlutscheren der GB! I shall, mit der EUSSR yoke, make!
Ze queschun: Vy do zer Britischer svinenhunden make mit zer hands in zer air to vote fur der EUSSR?

Ha!
Ha!
Ha
IEDs at the ready you Euro scum.
Why is Tom Watson criticizing Vince Cable. Shouldn’t he be praising him for being the most efficient and using the least public money to run his department? Typical Labour – government is only good if it’s spending more of our money. So glad to see the back of them with that attitude.
Except that they called it ‘investment’. The sophistry was vital.
So when he and his cronies were running the government wine cellar that was fine.
Watson is a miserable fat Huhne of a man.
In this extract, Watson is a miserable crazed slob…
He is showing all the signs of myocardial infarction here. Can we do something to help him along? Open another bottle of plonk, ffs. I know we can’t afford it really but if it saves us having to feed that gut, then that will be an ‘investment’.
All those little blood vessels around the heart slowly, so slowly, but, surely becoming more and more clogged with matter that will one day restrict the blood flow to such a level that they will cease to function and bring oxygen starved siezure to the muscles.
He will feel faint and short of breath with a tightness around his chest and possibly sharp pains along his arm with tingling sensations in the middle finger of his left hand.
The staff will try their best but there was nothing they could do.
Tributes are pouring in today for the Labour politician…………………………
That’s the problem: “…. from all parties ….”
Yeah, but the hoon will probably sue the taxpayer for giving him generous food allowances & two dinners a day for breakfast, dinner & tea.
The system made him fat – it was not his lifestyle choice. Obviously.
Carter Fuck and Co did not have representation in Elysium, at the last count.
Watson, You are a fat turd with nothing to offer. Go and die please.
Hague is three times more important to the Governmment
Than the has-been “crypto socialist” Cable
At least Hague does something rather than grandstanding…
And in fact has started pretty well as For Sec…
Hague’s having a pretty easy ride at the moment – Dave seems to have volunteered to do all the upsetting, letting wee Billy look statesmanlike as he smooths things over.
The Iran thing will be the crunch – then we’ll see how independent the FO is from Foggy Bottom…
Hague is an utter dispointment.
I never thought he would be Euro scum but he is.
They are all the same.
yeah but Billy Hague fell at the first fence when he capitulated to the EU hedge fund diktat.
What ever is the point of a change in administration if the new government continues to follow the crazy failed policies of the last lot.
It’s rather as if Churchill’s adminstration had been pursuaded by the Foreign Office that it just wouldn’t be practical to break with Chamberlain’s policy of appeasement.
Hague and Cameron might recall that Churchill had to fire a raft of senior FO officials and the chief of MI5 in order to get the message across that policy had changed. I have yet to see the Conservatives convince me they are anything other than “Blue Labour”
Tom, if you’re reading this: fuck off and lose some weight, you greasy, fat twat. Have a nice day.
Lord Prescott makes an early morning appearance on Guido.
Coming soon to Bradford and Luton – Islamic Mean Time!
Looks like the Saudis are building a clock.
It’s 3 hours ahead of GMT, but there’s no year hand so we’re supposed to forget that it’s 9 centuries slow…
DAMN that decadent GMT and BST.
On the first day of Ramadan, too.
Will it be a ‘speaking’ clock – y’kno – that wailing sound?
Heathen
Either you change your time
Or no petrol…
When the new Government is already committed to cutting at least half of Zanu Labour’s Propaganda (“Communication”) budget
A saving of over £ 100 million, it would seem you ae being a bit churlish here Guido…
A little proportion would in in order-order…!!

What’s the difference between Tom Watson and a sewer?
The sewer carries less shit.
and is less toxic…
Lord Mandelson would never deposit a Cleveland steamer into a sewer?
Don’t you love the irony of Ramalamadingdong? They “fast” for a chunk of the day, and then stuff themselves at a special meal, thereby defeating the whole point of a fast. Many a time I’ve only had enough time for one meal in the day. But I didn’t dress it up as fasting like this lot. What a truly ridiculous bunch of people, not to mention murderous and insane.
LOL PI I once worked with a guy who would have his alarm set for sundown, at which point he would eat a whole malt loaf and several pasties.
He always put on weight during Ramadan!
The well known political blogger,Guido Fawkes said he is seeking an “urgent meeting” over Government plans to use credit rating agencies to root out benefit cheats.
Guido fawkes wants to discuss the proposals with the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) amid concerns over state snooping and the misuse of personal data.
It comes after David Cameron announced that private firms could be brought in to help in an “uncompromising crackdown” on benefit cheats to be unveiled in the autumn.
According to the EU, it’s UCT now – check with the Met Office blog.
UTC (Universal Time Constant) actually. It’s still Zulu (GMT) though, they just changed the name to stop the frogs getting pissed off with having to constantly use the name of a London borough.
Other things being equal having more than 3-5 people in a private office makes someone less effective because it cuts them off from the rest of the world. I can see why the Foreign Secretary might need more, but DEFRA – come off it!
Gudio on Watson in March 2010 !!
“So many rats are leaving the government ship it is in danger of toppling over. Tom Watson, the Minister for Mudslinging*, who was named in the one of the Smeargate emails from McBride to Draper, will be particularly missed. He is cherished by strategists at CCHQ. If it wasn’t for him the Labour Party would not have swapped a triple-election winning political genius for a voter repelling, election avoiding, malevolent weirdo.”
Well said, Guido…
Ah weel fetch ze bucket for Monsieur Watson-Cresote sithee.
What a pity it is that DEFRA is seen as a place to billet politicians who are loyal but not too capable. The Department for the Eradication of Farming and Rural Affairs has more influence than many departments, because of the extraordinary extent to which farming has been collectivised under Government control. It also controls important things. Without food, we die. Most of the landscape is under some form of agricultural usage.
DEFRA is easily the most incompetent of government departments, in a hotly competitive field. It created the UK’s worst and most expensive peacetime disaster of the last 50 years with its appalling mishandling the foot and mouth epidemic. It disastrously failed in the simple task of handing out EU subsidies, leading to a massive EU fine. It is not fit for purpose.
We need this department to be taken seriously, not treated as a sinecure for duffers.
Watson and Balls are the two remaining active examples of the hateful Brown’s smearing, lying, threatening and defamatory Downing Street staff..
Enough said…
I agree that they are “voter repelling” !
What we need to know is how this compares to the last Labour government. He fails to mention this. Also the quangoes that are going will give more work to the minister and team. So he is trying to compare apples and oranges.
How about working with the coalition in the new politics however this man would be unable to work with anyone he is such a big I am loud mouth.
Tom Watson should be Labour leader. He’d ensure Labour remaining in opposition for the next hundred years.
Why compare Hague and Cable? Why not compare like with like and compare the costs of the current and past foreign secretaries? Different jobs, different office costs.
Tom Watson is in unchartered (sic) waters. He is thrashing about trying to find something to blame the coalition for. No doubt he will get a slot on the Today programme to whinge about the “Coalition’s wine cellar”. I would take a flying guess that Humphrys or Davis won’t ask the obvious question about who bought the stuff in the first place.
Of course he knows where the bodies are buried, he and his friends put them there! This is the political equivalent of taking a p*ss in the street, then walking two yards away, turning around to point at your own p*ss and shrieking ‘My God, look at that horrible p*ss in the street, how dare they!’.
What a nasty hypocritical bunch of morons the Liebore party are. What have they done since being in opposition except attack every policy put forward by the coalition even though they supported some of them in Government. They have no morals and will oppose anything and everything just for the sake of it and couldn’t care less about whether it is best for the country. Their solution to everything was to throw more and more money at it and then borrow more and tax more. The only cut Gordon Brown ever made was to cut £50,000 off his successors salary. Doesn’t this nasty, spiteful act tell us everything we need to know about this bunch of hypocrites. Not only were they the worst Government ever but they have proved they are not fit to be HM opposition.
Nicely put
Tom Watson is second only to McDoom in the fat mong league.
Tom Watson. Putting the TWAT into Parliament.
Bit impertinent these reports, wasn’t he benefitting a little while back.
Never mind we expect this sort of rank hypocrisy from NuLab or whatever they call themselves these days.
Whenever Lord Presscock offered me a chipolata I liked to dip it in something warm before having a nibble.
I am honoured and humbled to make comment 100
Ha ha ! No, I’m not interested in your cocktail sausage you swivel-eyed twit. I’m only attracted to men with real class.
Pity you missed it then, you arsehole…
The Obese Watson needs to get off his flabby socialist arse and go for a jog! Then go for a salad. Booze is high in calories so he can’t drink water with his salad!
Hypocritical twat
Frankly I like old “Tommy”
He is your typical socialist tosspot with a nice little streak of vindictive cunning, a cut above the typical astro molluscs that so often post facile bollocks on this blog.
All parties seem to attract these ham fisted babbling cretins, you can spot them a mile off, their only recourse is to spoil, bluster, and bore in the vain hope that somebody might give their few lines of twaddle the time of day, and as a result shut up or better go away.
I suppose they have to cut their experience somewhere, so, it’s really refreshing when one comes along that’s a little more accomplished and can actually hold a your attention and amuse, let alone convince you otherwise.
Still waiting….
You can always rely on the odious Spelman woman to take full advantage of anything that’s going, presumably so that she has more time to get after the GM crops initiative.
Dave will regret giving her a job, bitterly.
Followed the link and read Watson’s report.
Surprised myself by being in agreement with a labour politician. And by approving his approach to the issue. So that’s a BIG thums up from me.
Shame he didn’t do things like this when Labour were in power.
Someone has got to spill the beans it might as well be Tom Watson
