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.
See ya Later Postman Prat ……….
Balls as next Shadow Chancerllor ?
Warsi off the hook. (Again).
Good day to bury bad news
Iran’s got the Bomb! Iran’s got the fucking Bomb! Do you hear us, useless eater scum!?
Fuck, fuck, fuck! You wanker, Johnson! Today was THE day for the final push to get the Iran Plan kicked off, with that Kosherleaks shite for cover, and some tosspot postie fucks it up and the ponzi finance system begins its final crash, with no tasty pictures of vaporised persians to take the cockcroaches’ minds off their smashed economies and who caused it. Fuck!
beat yet again.
That creates an interesting crack in the labour front bench! Will it be mr or mrs balls who fills it?
Either way, Johnson’s vacant crack is going to be filled with balls.
Stop talking dirty, you’ll get Billy excited.
Please God let it be – both Balls are such pompous twats that neither could appeal to anyone other than hard-core labour supporters.
Sadiq Khan for Shadow Chancellor failing which Chuka Umana
so why did you cover up that birds tits ?
It’ll be like putting a fox in charge of the chicken coop with either of those crooked bastards
Go home, muslim.
That will be total incompetents all round on the Labour shadow cabinet.
I thought you were joking.
“Alan Johnson is to stand down as shadow chancellor to be replaced by Ed Balls, the shadow home secretary. ” says telegraph.
“I have decided to resign from the Shadow Cabinet for personal reasons to do with my family. I have found it difficult to cope with these personal issues in my private life whilst carrying out an important front bench role.
“I am grateful to Ed Miliband for giving me the opportunity to serve as Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer. He is proving to be a formidable Leader of the Labour Party and has shown me nothing but support and kindness. My time in Parliament will now be dedicated to serving my constituents and supporting the Labour Party.
“I will make no further comment about this matter”.
Miliband shells out for new gob transplant
This has got BALLS written all over it.
…. To be replaced by Ed Balls-up. You REALLY can’t make it up, from one economic idiot to another.
If either of those shitsmears get the job then that’s Labour fucked for a generation.
It already was.
Even worse, Cooper Balls-up is to be Shadow Chancellor…..
That’s one incompetent who knew he wasn’t up to the job replaced by one incompetent who fantasises he/she’s up to the job. Now is the Winter of the Coalition’s discontent made glorious Summer
…to stand opposite a turd who doesn’t know his arse from his elbow yet alone that he is not up to the job.
I wonder what the blighters been up to? Spending more time with the family means…
… well let’s put it this way, if whatever he’s done gets out, his family won’t want to spend more time with him
Is being a clueless twat a personal reason then?
Interweeesting. Gets popcorn….
In that instance we’d have a good case against all the other 649 MP’s in the HoC.
Balls!
Oh happy day…..
Was it Balls or the unions call tho ??????
Or was it Alan’s himself – fuck this shit type of thing? Can just hang back as there’s fuck all cash in shadow shit, he’s connected, he’s earned a lot, Hull’s cheap & lovely. Economics is hard and why bother at his age? Fair play.
Bring on the Balls’. It emasculated Ed in an inter nicine way too. It’s just Brown mark 3. Hmm. Will the people vote for them? Yeah, probably. FFS.
And has the clunking fist been bulying again.
Oh. Is it finally going to come out, then?
Said the actress to the…..well you know the rest.
Ed Balls will be back where he wants to be
But is it where we want him to be?
Ha ha – couldn’t be better really.
There’ll be champers in No 10 ce soir.
Yes in opposition.
not for long – read the polls, idiots.
Has he been caught ‘in flagrante’ with something / someone…?
Maybe a ‘Henry’ vacuum cleaner or Margaret Beckett.
Or is it because someone else in the Labour Party has told him he’s utterly fucking shit at economics…?
I hope it’s my former guess…
Sorry to disappoint but more likely the latter CP.
Or illness. He looks like shite lately.
If you had to sit next to RedEd every PMQ’s, wouldn’t you look like shite too?
He’s gay isn’t he?
Maybe the vacuum cleaner is as well.
I’d rather be sucked by little Henry any day – less chance of injury.
Please, the only vacuum cleaner to use is the Goblin.
Dysons will shred your cock.
Not as well as the Hoover Dustette

In the end, a sad end for a jovail politician. If you do not find Johnson likeabe, then I suggest you aint right in the head.
Its not weather i like him or not , its his policy and compatance.
I bet he just pisses you off because your letters never get to the right destination.
For some reason.
The only post Billy gets is from the bailiffs and flyers for Dominos Pizza.
I suggest you’re not right in the head, FFS
He’s likeable. Just not really suited to a top economics job.
Agree, Eoin.
For the Labour Party, he was one among few who could really connect with traditional English Labour voters.
From a tribalist perspective, I’m glad. Looking from a personal perspective, I’m sad for him (and I have no idea what the personal reasons may be).
Like him?
He is a senior player in a political party that has:
* Committed war crimes
* Ruined the economy of their own country
* Disenfranchised millions of their own “working class” by turning them into welfare junkies to support their insane immigrations policies.
* Introduced the post democratic age
I could go on, but we all know their crimes by now – except for the clients who rely on New Labour for handouts & knighthoods & gongs.
Like? What has that got to do with anything? He is criminal – like all those who knowingly took part in some of the most disgraceful & treasonous activities this country has ever seen.
if you find a marxist fifth columnist dedicated to destroying our society and replacing it with a stalinist nightmare likeable i think it is you that needs psychiatric help.
i hope it is nothing terrible in his family that has led to this….i don’t wish illness or emotional trauma on anyone……but good riddance to a two faced ideologue without the brains to tie his laces on his own.
GOTCHA!
A masterful Osborne has seen off his opponent within no time.
Is being knifed in the back by Ed Balls a “personal reason”?
It’s a real shame he’s going, his massive intelligence is going to be missed. A true economics expert as competent as all his Socialist predecessors will not have the chance to bankrupt Britain again.
Personnel reasons.
A helluva lot of stress on the “personal” reasons.
Has he been a naughty postie then?
Getting your cock trapped in a letterbox is an occupational hazard.
Oooooh !!! That’s a a sharp knife, Ed !
Get out of my seat !
HANG ON !!!!!!!
Todays thursday , Is there a story in the sundays that will embaress him ?
No quiet word from the CPS?
I bet the Balls/Cooper household is on tenderhooks.
Me Ed! Pick me! Pleeease.
so. Whatever the rumours, there’s not enough behind them for even Guido to spill the beans.
I was tempted to call them half-baked beans. but that would be impolite <farts> ooops.
Alan JohnsonPhil WoolasRed Ed
This has got Balls written all over it…
Maths.
A lack of understanding of basic maths.
Thats why he is resigning.
Hey ho – great judgement there Red Ed – who have the Unions told you to put in place next?
Its Balls
what was the real reason, A live boy or a dead girl??
Was it that Donkey on the end of his cock?
The personal reasons are that I’m a shit shadow chancellor.
Has old Postie been shoving it in the wrong box ?
Come on let’s see Her /Him
Ed Balls to take over
Unlikely. Conspicuous adultery is a Looting Parteh Core Value.
Miliprat’s taking a bit of a risk appointing Balls. Balls is ten time the man Miliband is and will show him up as the effete phony that he is.
What’s 10 x zero=?
You should have explained that to Alan he might have reconsidered his resignation.
(10 x arf!)
yes he’s rubbish
It just doesn’t add up !
ha ha ha hja ha ha
strange one this. ‘Personal reason’ may well be genuine and, if so, my sympathies but he has totally cocked up his shadow chancellor role ,… is it possible that red ed has got more balls than cameron …
lol unintended pun
Nick Robinson on BBC News seems to be sure that it is really “personal reasons” but is not saying more.
You can always rely on Nick to take a suitably sympathetic tone when reporting on the misfortunes of Labour members.
Robinson says whatever he is told to say.
Former postie replaced by former Eton teacher’s son.
Balls was a former young Tory I seem to remember.
He also had an interesting take in fancy dress uniforms too.
Oh Yeh !
Wheres he been emptying his sack then ?
Up Nick Robinson’s arse. Again.
This gives Cameron an open goal at PMQs next week. “You’ve been Labour leader for only 4 months and you’ve already lost your shadow chancellor”.
His personal reasons are he’s a dumb Hunt postman
…but it’s better than walking the streets.
I reckon Ed has shopped Johnson to the Sundays.
Johnson has been posting stuff into the wrong letter box for some time.
With lisping Milliband and Stuttering Ed leading the attack on the Tories, the opposition benches will be like the King’s Speech on fast forward.
With a “The Golden Globes award” for best performance in useless fucker category ??
LOL! as we used to add to emails…
Maybe AJ was told to go by Ed for this gaffe:
God help us he even mimics Gormless Bruin at the end “It is the right thing to do!”
I’m making a list of the weasel phrases Labour frontfolk are urged to slip into their soundbites.
He’s used two of my favourites: “I think” = ignore the facts, this is my baseless opinion; and “most people” = implies a social pressure to conform to whatever statement follows.
Wikipedia is a wonderful thing when you want to appear smart.
This will fuck up the labour party , Ed Balls said when running for leadership that we should borrow and spend more money where as Ed M stuck with half the deficit plan , Will this also turn into another Blair -Brown when is it my turn battle………..
The Telegraph’s political editor is on Radio 5 now…… I wonder if this will clear a path for his very good friend Damien McBride to get back into politics…..
O/T But has anyone else picked up on Nimrods wings being cut off, literally, on Monday?
£4BILLION to scrap….
Helloooo?
I’m speechless. Goodbye whoever….
We are so fucked.
Not quite. It’s flying scrap converted into non-flying scrap. Rejoice! Hundreds of air-crew have been freed of the threat of immolation in the course of their duties.
You are thinking of the wrong Nimrods. The air crew have been reassigned to the dole queue.
Why didn’t this happen on my watch ,I could’ve got all hot and sticky .
Another non-story
Just been announced:
Ed Balls to replace Alan Johnson as shadow chancellor
Yvette Cooper new shadow home secretary
Douglas Alexander gets foreign brief
Oh quelle surprise!
I got fukin foreign brief’s for crimbo
by fuck do they chafe !
bollocks like a blood orange !
Yes. I can see wee Dougie in some kind of provincial Grace Brothers department store with a little counter in the menswear section selling ‘foreign briefs’.
That would suit him down to the ground. He could put on extra mascara flutter his eyelashes at the hunky male customers.
I see the obnoctious twat Liam “Theres fuck all money left” Byrne is back in the limelight !
And so is the self-regarding little prick Burnham.
Miliband and Balls – FABULOUS – Blair and Brown all over again.
Red Ed to make statement at 17:20
Ed Balls new Shadow Chancellor
Yvette Balls new Home Sec
Douglas Alexander new Foreign Sec
Looks like the unions have got all they wanted, Ed Millipede as leader and Ballbag as Shadow Chancellor – the things a few million quid buys you these days
and I’ve been listening to Gordon and Lord Kinnockio……
Downing Street refused to allow a government minister to appear on the Question Time programme unless Tony Blair’s former adviser Alastair Campbell was removed from the panel, the BBC has said.
No 10 said it questioned why Mr Campbell, rather than an opposition frontbencher, was representing Labour on the weekly programme.
The programme’s editor said the request to replace Mr Campbell with a shadow minister was refused as a point of “fundamental principle”.
Question Time host David Dimbleby explained the BBC’s decision at the start of the show.
Nick Robinson’s gone off message. He just referred to Ed Balls as “in political terms the son of Gordon Brown”.
Yeah but Nick thinks that’s a GOOD thing.
That’s an offensive thing to say about anyone…
Osborne will obliterate Blinky.
Sadly only dogs can hear him.
fortunate for him… he wouldn’t want anyone else to hear the nonsense he speaks
Did his abacus break?
Is ABACUS some sort of new trades union?
Watch out Ed’s on radio4 in a couple of minutes.
From the latest edition of Popbitch:
The King’s Speech looks as if it’s going
to do pretty well for itself in awards
season and will doubtless be one of the
biggest films of the year, so movie buffs
may be interested to learn a little more
about the production.
The location used for the speech
therapy room and waiting room as well
as the stairwell and landing locations
of Prince Bertie’s London home was 33
Portland Street, a well-known address
for the sexually adventurous.
If you’re into high class swinging,
then you might have been to one of the
masked balls that elite sex club Killing
Kittens have hosted there. Or, if Japanese
bondage is more your thing, another major
London fetish club used the Therapy Room for
shibari and other BDSM activity. It’s also
been a whipping dungeon.
“was 33 Portland Street, a well-known address for the sexually adventurous.”
You could have included the phone number!

Johnson is a man of limited talent who was pushed into a job he knew was beyond him for party-politcal reasons. His resignation has at least left him with a semblance of honour.
“Johnson is a man of limited talent”
That limited talent would be sticking letters through letter boxes one presumes.
I was thinking more on the lines of being able to walk and carry a placard at the same time.
whoops – stumbled across the sixth form ‘ma’s out pa’s out let’s talk rude’ society
What is labour list’s take on it ?
“What is labour list’s take on it ?”
The usual Labour thing is to claim that he is the Greatest Chancellor That We Never Had or some rubbish like that.
Amid all this excitement, what’s happened to Handycock. Did he answer police bail and told `no more sharing your Balls with every Pompey sailor.”?
He never had sexual relations with that woman, Miss Cocklova.
How about I make a come back to replace Postman Prat?
Nurse another 100 cc’s of Largactyl, quick.
Has he been caught in a compromising position with a man\woman\beast of burden?
Sarah are you sure this phone is working ?
It should be darling , you said you were going to pay the bill didn’t you?
Because you’re… so good… with figures… aren’t you?
Oh you talentless Jock arsehole, you’ve fucked up our money just like you did the country’s haven’t you?
It’s just that i thought Ed millibland would call
You predicted it Guido – and you were right.
Actually I think it is a bit of a shame, I rather like Alan Johnson. He does not pretend to know anything about economics (most people in that sort of job do pretend to know something about it – and that irritates me).
“Yes – but no one else likes him Pau”.
Well there is that.
Red Ed pathetically trotting out the ‘Conservative-Lead Government’ shit on R4 live.
What a dribbling shit bag!
To his shame, Andrew Neil did it on Daily politics today as well. That’s him crossed off the ‘Token BBC right-winger’ list, then.
Oh sod it, got to go to work! Look forward to the real reason coming out soon! Byeeeeeeeeeeee
What about poor Giddy on – by George he’ll have to come off piste
Nick Robinson now bigging up Balls – ‘he strikes fear into his opponents’.
Twat!
hark! – is that the lesser taxed bwanker I hear squeking
Will Mrs Johnson be making a statement as well?
Is that a Glock in your pocket or are you pleased to see me?
my bonus my bonus my bonus – lord help me in my distress – giddyon giddyon wherefor art thou giddyon?
whilst guido’s followers fidlle, diddle and snivel – we’ve hit the mark
Dream on – it’s good to have dreams.
Won’t this just me Labour step up the rhetoric and we have the unions going nuts for the rest of the year?
Now Labour have been out for 6 months they can blame the incumbents and the public will lap it up as they face hardship and seek a nice simple narrative. I think the Tories won’t be pleased with this. Balls might be a useless chancellor but he can’t land less punches than Johnson.
alll’s quite on the right flank
murdoch battered thick heads are clearing and prefer balls to bollocks
You idiots are very mistaken. The country does not have the same hatred for Labour that you have, or its senior politicians. It can see for itself what this government is up to and will kill it in due course. What do you think a 6 point lead in the polls months into an administration means? That you are widely supported?
Mark my words…
That would be the same labour which fucked up the country for 10 years? Fucked pensions., fucked gold, fucked PFI, fucked trade deficit, fucked “an end to boom and bust” fucked lives with illegal wars…but apart from that…

Georgie Porgie Pudding & Pie kissed the bankers and made them sigh

I’m exhausted now giddyon – put your swearing back in the box and go to bed
Well fuck me !
never in a million years would i have thought
it woz the next door neighbor
wot did it
Wot dun it. Where did you go ter skool?
And you know he did because?
Even the BBC are challenging Ed’ decision to apoint Balls
saying he was the architect of labours policy on relaxing banking laws
and he was basically responsable for bankrupting the country
as he was at the treasury all the time
they also called him into question over the fact that he disagreed with both the tories and labours policy’s to cut the deficit and saying he is more powerful than ed !
leadership challenge on the way ?
Either Labour have now gifted the country to the Tories for a generation, or we really do live in a Gordon Brown / Ed Balls soviet shitehole
We’ll know after the next election
Oh Jesus. This is just too good to be true. That piece of Fabianist filth as Shadow Chancellor… just listen to the fat blinky c u n t and his Keynesian bollocks right now on Sky. “It doesn’t have to be this way. We have to get this deficit down….”
Why have we got this deficit Blinky?
You fucking lying dissembling sac of fucking whalesperm. You fucking created it you mad-eyed shitstain.
And he is sooo proud that he has been in the treasury all that time
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
The personal reason Johnson stood down was
someone nicked the beads of his abacus
I heard that he was caught taking a shit in mark oatens mouth over a glass coffee table
Ms Gellard…my truss,if you please.
Has his wife left him ?
fuck’s sake
i hope she hasn’t run off with the postman !
OK Guido,
Look us all straight in the eye, and assure us that this isn’t just total shit made up by Coulson.
No, didn’t think you could.
