Clegg To Replace DC at PMQS
David Cameron’s father Ian has had a stroke and the PM is currently en route to France to be with his family. After holiday and paternity leave it seems Clegg will be minding the shop a little longer. Last time he did PMQs he managed to substantially alter British foreign policy concerning the war and was slapped down. Even against Jack Straw, who put in a dire performance, he could only muster a no score-draw. Presumably Harman will be yielding to her deputy again today…
Interestingly it will be Clegg will be taking the brunt of the Coulson heat. The LibDems stuck it to him during the election. Watch him change his tune now…
I’m betting he’ll throw a sickie and Billy will step up to the plate.
GF – live blogging it?
Noooooooooo, Not Jack Straw again!
He was absolutely useless last time, so bad that it wasn’t even funny just cringe making.
Hattie should ask Gordon to do it for old times sake.
blah blah prudence, blah blah doing the right thing, blah blah zero percentage increase, blah blah started in America, blah blah saved the world etc ad infinitum.
She’d have to find him first…
He’s behind you…….
Found him.
No chance – last thing billy wants/needs is more exposure. Straw will nail clegg on Coulson who will respond by waffling and losing yet more credibility from his colleagues.
The level of childishness that a Hague PMQ’s would generate. Enough to make everyone hate politicians forever. (I see a flaw in what I just said).
Is Andy Coulson also the propaganda spokesman for the deputy PM or does nick have his own purveyor of spin?
How long before Labour will say the excuse was engineered to get Cameron out of the frame of PMQs?
BBC news leading with the comment that Labour “HONED IN” on the subject of Coulson – FFS – Honed in – how did that mumbly roll of wet newspaper (NOW?) hone in on anything? BBC at its Labour loving lying best.
It’s a long time since I came First
Gordon, you never came first.
Gordon never came. It was the Turkey baster wot done it.
A gentleman never comes first.
My condolences. Must have been seconds in it between you and Tuscan Tone. Just think: if you’d not wasted time typing in your moniker you could have been 1st — and as anonymous as you clearly want to be.
Will the Labour stand in be able to say something sensible about this.
Yes.
If its Harman it will be why is Lord Ashcroft paying Coulson to hack Prescott’s phone.
If it’s Straw it will be why is Lord Ashcroft paying Hague to sleep with Coulson to get him to hack Prescott’s phone.
my pleasure
Let’s be adult about this. Pre-May, it was war to the knife, as it will be in the forthcoming Councils. The Tories will seek to take advantage of the LibDems transient unpopularity and the shambles of a Labour party. Post-May, it’s broad agreement (mostly) at the national level. That’s not hypocrisy of any other -icricy. That’s politics as we know and love it.
PMQ stupid pissing contest.
I was always great at PMQs.

My favourtie is the orange spot and his ‘take-me-seriously-while-I-look-like-a-twat face’.
There’s a lot to be said for having an older PM.
Fewer distractions. No young children. No aged parents.
If the banking crisis had occurred in the last few weeks how would Cameron have coped?
He would have got Nick to sort it out. No point in having a deputy if you don’t use him.
better than Brown actually did, I suspect.
By leaving it all to Cleggy, of course. One could be forgiven for wondering if No10 was treated for feline flu on handover between Gordon nad Dave.
Cleggy is Cameron’s fag.
He wouldn’t have bludgeoned a successful bank into taking responsibility for an unsuccessful banks massive debts just to shore up a few votes in Scotland, and in turn @uck up both banks. Nor would he have pointlessly lowered VAT at massive cost to industry and retailers alike and for little effect. These would have been a start.
You haven’t understood the banking crisis at all, have you?
He seems to have grasped some of the causes and effects rather well, actually. He might have mentioned the failure of banking regulation as a contributory factor, caused by the splitting of responsibilities between Treasury, BoE and FSA, and none of then sure what the others were doing – otherwise, spot on.
He wouldn’t have subsidised the Japanese & Korean car industry.
“If the banking crisis had occurred in the last few weeks how would Cameron have coped?”
I reckon it would have been better – no politician would have stuck their clumsy oar in and the market had been able to find its own level.
On the other hand, older PMs can suffer from failing health themselves. It’s a fine balance between the energy of relative youth, and the wisdom of age and experience. Not just for the PM’s job, either.
Another little gem from White Powder City.
“It had been expected that PM’s questions would be dominated by questions about No 10′s director of communications Andy Coulson following allegations of phone hacking by journalists while he was editor of the News of the World.”
They just can’t let it go. On a day when Brown’s fiscal incontinence is exposed for all to see, Al Beeb think that this is the story. Brown couldn’t control spending but couldn’t even collect the bloody taxes in the first place.
In the minds of the Beeboids the Coulson story is important, but tell that to the poor souls who are going to suffer from Brown’s reckless mismanagement of tax collection, expenditure and government. He was not just a malignant incompetent, but also a Hunt, first class and bar.
Any tax repayments will be blamed on the conservatives not labour
The Torys have only themselves to blame.
If they had any guts they’d scrap the telly tax and flog the BBC to the highest bidder
Exacatly but dumb of the CCHQ trolls to moan on here about how unfairly they are treated by the BEEB when they can moan and make their masters do something about it.
Huweeeeee–Ruthhhhhhhhhhhh-
Clegg and Straw vomming

I really, really, really hate Labour, and the bbc, and the greens, and single women with tribes of brats stealing my money through kickbacks from the last labour government.
They probably don’t think much of you either
never mind you’ll probably have a heart attack and die soon
At last! A clear statement of Tory policy.
Your hatred is just an expression of what a low opinion you have of yourself.
Relax, you are actually no better or worse than those women. You are just a human being doing his best in life, as are they. When you can accept your own humanity, you will be much happier, although you might find the Tories just as odious as Labour.
Blood sport even with the man of Straw at the crease.
As we’re marking the 70th anniversary of the WWII Blitz on England, would it be inappropriate to mention that my dad was a coward ?
yeah but you’re making up for it, Jack
My dad fled London after the Blitz.. he fled back to Germany in his Heinkel bomber! Ha ha ha. Heil Hitler.
Not as good as Sarko’s father and grandfather, who fled Hungary for…
Berlin!
Surely some mistake there?
So, you wouldn’t have been afraid of the red arm at its most furious and desparate?
Yes, even Joe Bugner did a runner.
Fled? From the glorious Red Army? Marching forth with the gift of freedom for the proletariat?
Only if you’re a fascist capitalist imperialist pig-dog.
Being the guy responsible for the deportation of 2000 of your town’s more kosher citizens could also make one a little dubious of the Red Army…
Hess fled the Nazis.
Not sure he’d really thought it all through.
If he had sense he’d have got himself a safe job, like fixing radios on planes.
Coward? No, he just thought it more sensible for others to do the fighting.
like father, like son
Look at his ‘Early Life’ on wiki. Fortitude and moral compasses are in very short supply……Perhaps that’s why he did so well in the Labour party.
Fizzy orange time! Yay!
No! No! Gordon, that’s not fizzy orange, it’s another patient’s urine samp.. no. You’re right, it’s fizzy orange. Gulp it down, Gordon. Plenty more where that came from.
Are you reading this Rod Little?
You are my hero!
careful I think Rod eats the odds mushroom puff too. and the odd creampie
i would like the bum feel off Mr Rod
maybe colleen rooney can stand in for hattie. after all she knows how to retain some diginity while being fucked by those around her
not sure ‘dignified’ is the first adjective I’d use to describe Colleen.
as a poster that is anonymous your views dont count so fuck off – awight?
fuck off yourself tat
BTW your blog is turtle shite. No visitors and no fucking wonder..
Guido mostly replys to anons
He was speaking comparatively.
I never knew Call-Me-Dave was medically qualified, with a specialism in the treatment of strokes in the elderly. Obviously that’s why he felt it more appropriate to offer his particular expertise in this medical emergency than to carry out his duty in Parliament.
On the other hand……
…it’s his father, you arse.
I took a day off to go to my father’s funeral.
Even though I am fuck all use with a spade.
Thats not true of course, they use small jcb’s these days.
He spends more time in Parliament carrying out his duties than Brown does. What do you say to that?
And just because you never knew yours there is no reason for you to be snide about Cameron’s father.
Agree with the above. You are an arse.
‘You are an arse’
I believe that is now a term of endearment in the Tory party.
When my own father was 24 hours away from death, he insisted that I went to fulfil a professional assignment 250 miles away. His reasoning being that I could do nothing to affect his terminal cancer, his own future was behind him, but mine still lay ahead. He died before I returned the next day. I loved him dearly, miss him still and will always remember his cool, calm wisdom.
Arse ? Certainly not. Professional ? Always – it’s in the genes.
I’m not gay and neither is my boyfriend.
Eh ?
Hmm are you sure? There’s an inordinant number of gays in the HOC and HOL you know. They tend to gravitate here for some inexplicable reason
“The successful candidate will be a liar, a thief, or gay, with preference given to anyone who is all three.”
Where’s my chocolate Weetabix daddy?
They’ve been away for weeks and weeks. The first 25minutes will be taken up with lists of names and regiments. There’ll be no time for questions.
Too right.
Since Eric pickles is so keen on correcting past mistakes like Jenny Watson. Why can he not look at current mistakes.
At a planning appeal for a huge supermarket the inspector falsely intimidated the local residents on the first day by demanding they had to sign and leave their address every morning. This was later confirmed by the planning inspectorate as being illegal.
The inspector then went and compiled a report that states that he does not believe the local opposition group had the support of the town. He had no evidence to base this on. The elected councilors were present to show the democratic position. The locals were intimidated by having all their addresses passed around the crowd on the first day so the supermarket and reporters could identify the objectors. I sat at the back and watched the inspection of the list by other attendees. Second days attendance was very low, I wonder why?
He then, in the report, went on to state that locals could not use experts from outside the area. Seeing that all the experts for both the superstore and the Council where outsiders that seem illogical. This was a tactic used by the superstore QC and repeated by the government inspector.
He also can not see the significant impact of adding a single store to a town that alone would be trading at a higher level than the sum of all the other shops put together. What would it be like if you created a single bank in London that traded at a rate equal to all the other banks put together!
He also intimidated and ridiculed an 80 year old local resident using a argument put up by the superstore QC. It seem that he does not understand the difference between daily basket shopping and weekly by car supplies shopping. Just because something is walkable with a single basket does not mean it is walkable carrying items.
It is significant and it happened on Eric Pickles watch. (Ilkley)
I thought Eric Pickles had given up the will to live.
6000 petition against, 2000 letters against and obviously the central goverment inspector thinks the locals want the store.
Pickles idea of localism has just been proven to be all hot air. Different name but still the same old tricks.
“PICKLES BRUSHES LOCAL OBJECTIONS ASIDE
Insane plans to turn Brighton Marina into a towering housing estate of over 3,000 flats have been generally supported by Secretary of State Eric Pickles. Although he refused planning permission for Explore Living’s nightmare scheme, this was purely on technical grounds, and he appeared to regard the objections raised by the local council, local MPs and local residents as largely irrelevant. So much for Mr Pickles’s promise to give local people more of a say in planning matters.”
Out with one arrogant out-of-touch government, in with the new..
Planning matters are the fifedom of the local authorities and as such a concern for local people.
We don’t want no trouble here.
Pickles had the final say and he couldn’t give a fuck about local people.
Brighton Marina comes under Kemptown – Conservative MP Simon Kirby took it over from Labour in May this year. Kirby’s majority: a rather risky 1,328 (3.1%). Don’t get too comfortable in your job, Mr Kirby – fat fuck Pickles is going to lose it for you.
I would have thought Brighton Marina would come under Camptown.
Wotsamatter? Don’t the luvvies, lefties and woofters want 3,000 tories moving in?
There is no such thing as ’3000′ Tories prepared to live in shitty council flats, the blue rinse brigade is dying out and all you have to replace them with is immigrants out for all they can get and only Labour give them more benefits.
Brighton will end up like Eastbourne and Hastings.
Fucking shitholes.
I am a fatty,fattys don’t like work as it makes us sweat.so I gave you my job now get on with it slaves,no pay see.
Erics birds.com
The obvious solution to the alleged majority of Ilkley residents who do not want the Tesco store is not to shop there.
If there is enough ‘customer absence’, Tesco will learn a very expensive lesson, close the store and go away.
However, in the real world, we know the silent majority will actually value and use the store, and that’s customer democracy. They have a choice and the make it. No-one is ever forced to shop there – let’s see just how popular it really becomes.
baaaaa
Locals actually want existing superstore. They want that site developed properly.
What the superstore wants is to use the other site and then divide up the existing one so that the town has no site left big enough for any competition.
This will leave Ilkley as a one shop town. A full monopoly. It is not like southern towns as it is constrained by a valley (& Ilkley Moor) so there is only 1 road through the town. There is no other site that is not greenbelt or the town car park that could compete at this scale. If however it was smaller then there would be opportunities for competition. But then under the planning law they would not be able to demand the larger site. So the store size is obviously too big so that they can justify the move.
So the only NIMBY is the superstore stopping any other getting a foot in their territory. It is the most expensive shop in the chain. Better than Knightsbridge.
Where is Pickles “Localism”? In London.
Look up what is happening in Scarborough – unwanted store given site behind closed doors meeting. All surveys say residents totally opposed to said multinational. Other possible players not allowed. Get on the case pronto Pickles!
Don’t tell me what to do, peasant!
My buddies in big business want to concrete over what’s left of Britain, and I’m bloody well gonna let ‘em.
Moan all you want plebs, I ain’t fuckin’ listening.
You might be able to hold slightly higher moral ground if Labour hadn’t been rubber stamping supermarket landbank applications for a decade.
And you thought things were going to change under us, did you?
Think again! la la la la we ain’t listenin’.
My wife had a miscarriage and that proves I’m not gay.
that wasnt a miscarriage it was a rectal prolapse
The Telegraph stands by me and Chris lies to them and by my side.
I bet none of you remembers me.
the ghee smell is vaguely familiar
No – but your smell lingers on……….
I did – you turned up on telly yesterday at some select committee or other, whingeing about Coulson and making me shout at the TV.
You oleaginous hoon.
No we don’t remember you but we know your sister was ‘helped’ into a seat.
Today I shall be attending PMQ’s, lunch with Sir Trevor Skint and then retiring to a single bedded room with my Spad.
She’s as hot a a Jalapeno sandwich.
I’ve never shagged a jalapeno sandwich.
Live chat Guido ?
I’ll save you the time: it’ll be ‘Coulson, Coulson, Coulson, Ashcroft, Ashcroft, Ashcroft’.
Clegg might just play the smartarse and announce Coulson’s departure. Get out of that one Dave!
Where’s Gordon?
Has he tried to explain why the Income Tax System is in such a mess, or why it is all the fault of The Coalition.
As for Michael White, has been on the sauce? 6-0 to Clegg.
Leave Andy Coulson alone he is my friend. I better give him a call.
He must be the only friend you’ve got apart from me.
You don’t have to give HIM a call dolt, he’s got your number (‘s).
Still not back at work you idle fecker? Assume you are donating your unearned salary and gold-plated pension to the deserving Scottish kiddie charities.
Where is the sick note?
Still at wolfs lair Kirkcaldy apparently, but Eva B’ruins whereabouts are unknown.
Fucking hell, no one gives a shit about Coulson, the fucking BBC just won’t shut up. Now Liebour scum are BLAMING the Tories for the mess over the back tax. Did I miss something? Wasn’t the one eyed twat from Fife in charge for the last 13 years?
Look the BBC is in overall charge of the Labour Party’s Propaganda at the moment pending election of a new Labour leader and THEY think it’s important.B*gg*r any other news that may be happening.This will consume at least half of their news broadcasts with the other half devoted to “promos” for upcoming programmes and Peggy Mitchell’s Last Farewell
Please tell me they are going to hammer a stake through her heart
Clegg 8 , straw 3 ( did he ask all 6 questions ?) , Thanks for live chat guido
ELO not steamrollered by bale straw.
Notwithsatnding him pulverising semi-retired Jack Straw there was an ominous signal from Cleggs “friends” on the backbenches as two Conservative MPs asked questions about his proposed legislation on AV. That’s likely to be more politically damaging than “Coulsongate” to Dave although Clegg signalled that should he lose the referendum the Coalition will continue
Was intrigued about the attack of the Chinese Lanterns which have been laying waste to the Countryside, inscrutable Yellow peril! raised in the House by Mr Woo.
I’ve seen one this year, bastard chinks are everywhere
I set off about 10 at the weekend. It says on the side.. “Warning don’t use if strong wind.”
That proved to be correct.
That’s what Prescott said after after a third case of baked beans for breakfast.
Uh oh. Fawkes on the radio. Hope he doesnt complain about how the Sun is too politically correct again.
why do you think Littlejohn left The Sun for the Mail?
Why do you think the ex editor ended up at the Guardian?
The Telegraph is the new Mail.
The Mail is the new Sun.
The Sun is the new Mirror.
The Mirror is the new Morning Star.
Two things you should never trust, politicians and hippies
Seems that Fag Boy Cambos Dad was a Stock Broker and an Estate Agent. What a fucking cock
Pretty handy that daddy got ill on Coulson PMQ day…Funny that

Yeah funny as woodworm in a cripple’s crutch. You are Cunt Head more like.

Clegg or Cameron? Does it matter?
They are simply different cheeks of the same filthy arse.
(Video) David Cameron and Nick Clegg have no mandate to hike VAT: http://eotp.org/2010/06/22/video-david-cameron-and-nick-clegg-have-no-mandate-to-hike-vat/
Fucking useless Tories, also good to see that Camerons tax exile dad is getting his comeuppance.
Pretty sure he lives in Engerland.
Doubt many tax exiles chose France.
cock.
Does seem that Cambo is a curse. I liken him to Damien in Omen 3.
Curse you son you have doomed us all!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fuck it if it’s good enough for Camerons dad then it’s good enough for me.
Care for a stroke big boy?
The three douches (Cameron, Clegg and Hague) are now proposing that all salaries are sent direct to HMRC and then they kindly let us have a few quid direct from HMRC
I hope that Camerhoons father has a long lingering death
(At the expense of the French
Camerhoon is just another Mc Mental only with less hair and a better looking wife
It would be better if he was still alive but lost all motor control due to the stroke so spent the rest of his days grunting and shitting himself in a wheel chair.
perhaps he could come around to yours & take a dump under your glass topped coffee table…with you lay underneath it..facing upwards..with your mouth wide open?
over….
Jack Straw. What a pathetic whiner.
Just been listening to you on The Media Show, discussing the Hague/Meyers non-story. Pathetic. Your arguments were very flimsy and completely unconvincing. You seriously need to grow up. Apparently you “have no friends in politics”. I can’t imagine you have many friends full-stop – certainly not over the age of 14.
Isn’t it time to meet Ethel and Martha and go play bingo with the rest of the blue rinse brigade?
Guido is not a legend, he’s an idiot.
And I anticipated this response. Go and do your homework.
If it’s a non story why did Myers resign?
I don’t know why he resigned. I don’t feel as though it was necessary. My point, however, is that a supposedly adult male has to gossip and giggle about somebody’s sexuality based on a photograph of two men walking side by side in public (in what way was that photo “awkward”?)and news that they shared a twin room whilst on official business I believe.
Amazingly, this goes on all the time between friends, both male and female, single and married, sharing sharing hotel rooms, tents etc. Are they all gay then? And is it anyone else’s business anyway? Total non-story, blown out of all proportion, on what must have been a VERY slow news day for Guido.
Why is that Labour nazi Caroline Flint never off the daily politics? Window dressing for the BBC at our expense. Not interested in the lying moo’s opinions week in and week out.
I like being touched in my special place.
What is up with all you miserable bastards today? David Cameron’s Father is seriously ill – what the feck do you want him to do – ask his dad to hang on and not die until he’s done PMQ’s? I’ve read the gripes of the Labour bloggers on this site today [you can tell them a mile off can't you? Full of venom and self delusion], and just thank goodness that Brown and his idiots are out of Office! Why don’t these stupid bastards go on to another blog, where they can say to their heart’s content how great the Labour Party is. I think the site is called Morons-R-Us. Happy blogging mogs!
I hate all politicians and their dads
Pitiful.
….may you grow a big lump of cancer..& die.
What the hell as Hazel Blears done to her hair? Also, anyone seen Gormless Gordon on the benches?
Blears was born with stupid fucking hair, it’s beyond her control.
Fucking midget!
The Bleachers?
Park benches ?
I got thrown out the mosque today. They were all saying their prayers, and well……. I fucking love leapfrog!
Leapfrog…..is that what Billy Hague told you it was? It’s got a very different name elsewhere….
I always keep emergency flares in my car.
You never know when you’re gonna be invited to a ’70s disco.
I stripped my shorts off for Dave and he pulled me towards him. His fly was open and he had his small ministerial cock out, it was very hard though and leaking pre-cum. Dave put his big ministerial hands around me and cupped both cheeks of my ass and worked them up and down all the time pulling me on and off his ministerial chopper. He yanked on my Insecure penis with his big ministerial hands and made me cum intensely. When I had recovered from my amazing cum he gently put his hands on my shoulders pushing me down. I have got a Rubic Cube so I knew what he wanted: I kneeled down some and looked up into his poshy ministerial eyes as I opened my inviting mouth and wrapped my fragile lips around his small but hard-ish ministerial cock and sucked him tenderly into me. I guess he was too horny because he came in my silken mouth in about ten gorgeous sucks. He came and he came and I swallowed all his ministerial cum. THERE, SAID IT!
clegg did pretty well!!
