Huhne is Alive

Guido was beginning to worry about Chris Huhne. Since the formation of the coalition, that he pushed for over any supply and confidence deal with the Tories, he has been almost invisible. Other than a weekend of bad press when he left his wife, Huhne has managed to stay below the radar and is almost an invisible Minister. Funny how he manages to be out of the country a lot when things get tricky.

There has been plenty of talk that he might be “on maneuvers but it seems the tactic is to do a little as possible above the parapet. Huhne has surfaced in the last twenty-four hours to call Baroness Warsi a nazi for her AV campaigning. This will no doubt please his mistress Carina Trimingham who is working for the Yes to AV campaign. The struggling LibDem membership, with their hearts wearily behind the “miserable little compromise”, will lap it up.

          I can now report that the “To fast to deep” vocal software which malfunctioned so badly during the automaton Coopers speech in the commons earlier this week now appears to be working satisfactorily as evidenced by the automaton Eds presentation Today. We have however some work to do about the members of the public carefully placed behind our automatons each time they speak as none of them look remotely interested.

          your callmeDave is doing one hell of a job. I told him this when we were daisychaining with Rahm and William.

          • Worthless Lib Dem Pledge says:

            The only reason we are in the EU is to find troughing jobs for the likes of Clegg and Huhne after the next election.

            ONS claims £42 billion trade deficit last year and we still pay £9.2 billion to be part of the EU without any concessions in the CAP or FIsheries policy. No reason to be in the EU and certainly it is not in the national interest- politicians interest for fiddling. Get out of EU now to spend the money on jobs and growth for people of this country.

    As the Baroness is about the size of the Hitler house he might well be right.

      The (at least ) half a dozen speling and gramaticerl errers in the auto-email I received a few minutes ago suggest this post might be the work of the padawan rather than the Jedi himself.

    Positioning himself to take on Simon Hughes in the leadership contest after Clegg is ousted perhaps in May(especially if on top of the expected annihilation of LibDem councillors nationwide Cleggie also manages to lose the AV referendum) He needs to have as little association as possible with the Tories to appeal to the “sandalistas”

    Engineer says:

    Hunhe is one of the weaker ministers in the current government. His total apparent inability to understand the present problems besetting energy policy, and the impending need to ration electricity if we don’t start bringing new power stations on-line before 2015, mean that we’re going to make a big problem worse. Spending money we don’t have on windmills won’t help.

    If Hunhe or any of his bag-carriers read this – for God’s sake (and the country’s) go and talk to the engineers responsible for balancing the grid. Now. Listen very carefully to what they have to say. Ignore the academics and the Greens, talk to the people who’s job it is to do the doing. You need to know what they know – and now.

      Look, if you had as many houses as Chris Huhne, you’d struggle to find time to do the day job as well.

      Practising that fake indignation he peforms so well of Question Time must eat the hours too.

      socialism is a mental illness says:

      Well said engineer, on the nail. Too many lawyers in government, along with ex council drones and other wasters. If the engineers talked to Huhne he would go glassy-eyed, unable to comprehend the information, and he would run back to the wizards and soothsayers that he indulges.

    Hi Huhney, I'm not home says:

    Huhne is one of the few politicians to leave his wife for someone less attractive. His ex wife may be plain but I’d rather give her the hot beef injection than the scary looking dominatrix he’s shacked up with.

    Sir William Waad says:

    Although the existence of large-scale global Huhne has often been predicted it completely fails to show up in the data. Scientists are beginning to suspect that there is no more to Huhne than a lot of carbon dioxide and methane. Others point to steadily-rising ennui levels. One thing is for sure; if Huhne does prove to be a mirage, Guido’s commenters will have find a new euphemism for ‘c

      I refer my Honourable Friend to the answer I gave yesterday when I explained to the House that Huhne was as irritating as vindaloo haemorrhoid cream.

      I would weight the decision for office and regard it as a matter of urgency to waterboard a member with their hands currently near the levers of power. But I would let Ed Balls do the honours for a special treat as it would give him an idea of what he has to look forward to.

    I thought Postal Ballots were handled by the Town Halls; not the Political parties?

    I didn’t realise that we were going to have a repeat of the postal vote farce for the referendum.

    it appears Huhne has been on tv today claiming that the uk will be exporting 30% of our wind power in a few years.

    Question – how do you export wind power? – it could be that I’m thick but exporting wind power …. ????

    SocialGhism says:

    What is striking is the fact that many Lib Dems have turned out to be a very useful “5th column” for the Tories. Well done lads – this coalition may go a distance yet.

    I still think it a shame that com-EDy is allowed to run the Labour party so far into the ground. The nutters he appeals to have found his voice disproportionately representational.
