Khan Puts His Foot In It
Dermot Murnaghan pushed a favourite question on his Sky News show yesterday morning. He forced Sadiq Khan down the awkward “is Miliband Michael Foot?” avenue. As you can see the Shadow Justice secretary’s answer was a full, frank and rousing defence of his leader:
“Look at the two most recent opposition leaders who have gone on to become Prime Ministers, Tony Blair brilliantly done, became leader in 1994, a number of years, 15 years after we had been kicked out of power. David Cameron himself became leader of the Conservatives in 2005, eight years after they…”
No wonder the one time confidant and campaign manager is now considered a liability by Ed’s team…
with friends like this who needs enimies?
with fiends like this who needs enemas?
Gotta HAND it to Sadiq.
CON 36%, LAB 43%, LDEM 9%
Even the the leader of Cameron’s Conservative association said “‘People think we’ll beg and steal from them. And they’re right” also “Over the years we have come across as graceless, voracious, crass, always on the take”.
It won’t be Liebor. The electorate will see through their next Spend, Spend, Spend programme.
Who’s Ed Miliband?
The sexy one who looks like something out of Hammer House. And i’ve sucked his willy hoping he’ll pull a few strings so i can become a Euro MEP. And i swallowed.
GOOD BOY
Next Prime Minister of UK.
The next ex leader of the labour party. Within 12 months probably.
I note that Khan seems fond of photo ops in these very ‘open’ and aggressive body-language postures. Usually whilst in discussion with a white police officer.
I wonder why.
“Is Miliband Michael Foot?”
No. Miliband is not as good as Foot. Both are intellectually somewhat deluded, but at least Foot was a brilliant orator. Miliband isn’t.
Milibean dresses more smartly than Foot. Plus he is in the pocket of the TUC rather than the KGB, which is fractionally better.
Come on Andy Murray
I’d rather not.
Marginally better than having Andy Murray come on you.
Another dour, raw-boned Scott with enough chips to open a casino.
Is it?
Also Foot had a job in the real world before entering Full time Politics.
And he was engagingly barmy, unlike Ed, who is just …
Bollocks!
He was a tyro journalist on the Staggers and Tibune. Proper job? Ha!
He came from exactly the same self-serving, champaign-socialist, lawyer/lecturer/politician class and Blair and Milliband come from.
Prep school, public school and off to read PPE Wadham.
Sound familiar?
Foot was always worth listening to as he was learned,interestiing and a first-rate speaker.
Sadly Millipede minor shares his absurd poltics without any of his redeeming qualities.
No he wasn’t !!!
Nye Bavan (who’s seat he inhertited) was a “brillaint orator”.
Foot was a stumbling, bumbling, rambling duffer who couldn;t buy a train ticket without a 15 minute preamble.
‘Bevan’ obviously.
Some of us have to contend with tiny virtual keyboards on lurching Virgin trains.
Brilliant Orator? Compared to Wurzel Gummidge perhaps. he was no more a brillaint orator than John Major.
The man was a delusional bumbling idiot. He had values and beliefs and stood by them, (which is more than can be said for Blair or Brown or Miliband), but they were all the wrong values and beliefs and he was no orator.
He was wrong on absolutely everything
and found it impossible to make a simple
clear statement. Harry Worth with rather
more at stake than a healthy television set.
first
fuck it
too slow tw*t
May i recomend a “Twat Watch” Tag?
Anyway , ed Miliband and Ed Balls are so close to fuck ups the last goverment made that even the union bosses must re-considering there choice of Ed Miliband as leader, Lets face it, the PLP didnt want him, His brother doesnt want to know him , the public dont trust him and parliament laughs at him.
Must be a good time to be in CCHQ tho……
Personally, I hope the Labourites keep him in place. Guaranteed loser in 2015, and weekly fun at PMQs until then.
What about Gordon? He was an Opposition Leader before he became PM.
Michael Foot had charisma
and fleas in that donkey jacket.
Can I have my coat back yet?
No he had chlamydia. Different thing old boy.
What he is saying is that we’re in for at least two terms where Labour is in opposition before they return to power with another new leader. Plenty of time for the other Millipede to put his feet up and watch his brother implode.
Banana Man will bottle it again just like he did when he let James Purnell down.
I really hope that labour never ever ever ever ever get into power ever ever ever ever again.
I love Chaka! he’s so shite at what he does it’s almost enderaring. His intellect is well below par, so he’s right at home on the labour front bench. What ‘Spitting Image’ would make of that lot God only knows!
You only get political satire in the mainstream when the Tories have been in power for a few years. Can’t have anyone criticising Labour, can we comrades?
Besides, Labour are beyond satire and most of them already look like Spitting image puppets so what is the point?
I suppose you’re right, after all most ‘satirists’ in the 80′s were on both knees in front of Kinnock sucking on his ‘red wedge’. But i do remember the piss-takes of the labour shadow cabinet with the ‘red flag’ being played in the background out of tune!
“Yes Minister” was a piss take of Labour in power, specifically the Wilson/Callaghan shambles. Most of the scenarios could be transferred to the New Labour epoch.
Take that back! Jim Hacker was more principled than ANY Labour prime Minister!
The Thick Of It was a pretty savage take on NuLab’s PR obsession and incompetence (a mantle taken on with enthusiasm by Dave et al)
and it was on the BBC.
True, but then read Russell Davies in the Grauniad today, spitting feathers because the Government has frozen the TV tax. Apparently this causes a 20% cut in programme budgets. (You’d have to ask Russell to explain the maths on that one; a glitch in the temporal matrix, perhaps).
Now Russ has left Dr Who (with its incomprehensible plots, wooden acting, MDF dialogue and achingly right-on eco-messages) to work on Torchwood (with its garage-style sets and Cardiff butties saving the universe). The Beeb pretty much let him do as he likes with our money but, oh no, instead of being grateful it’s ‘Worrabout the workers?’.
It’s only telly, Russell. ‘Taint nuffing important.
Good Political satire pokes fun at all parties and politicians in General. Thick off it does that brilliantly. I suspect the writers may have a leaning to the left but thats irrelevant as they do not allow their personal views to colour their writing. On the other hand you have extremists like Jeremy Hardie ,Brigstoke et all
He’s a total weirdo.
As you say: VERY right-on; VERY pompous.
But just blandly average, really.
Russell T Davies turned Dr Who into his own gay propaganda outlet. The programme is vastly improved since he stopped writing it. Gone are the incessant bisexual references and smutty gay innuendo, replaced with decent and complex story-lines covering multiple time-lines and alternative realities. Matt Smith is a great improvement on his predecessor and ‘Amy Pond’ is the hottest assistant yet.
If Russell T Davies were on fire, I would not waste my piss putting him out.
Unlike Spitting Image, 2DTV cartoons were funny. Unfortunately they took the p out of the then govt (John Prescott had a watch that just said breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper) and a great sketch where Tony Blair Married Gordon Brown, with John Prescott as bridesmaid. Unsurprisingly it got moved by the Beeb from 9.00 p.m to 11.00 p.m. and then dropped completely.
Monkey Dust was pretty scathing of New Labour Britain.
Spitting image only existed to take the piss out of the tories. The producers admitted as much when they ended the series in 1997 when labour won the election.
Bob Crow, Sadiq Khan, Mark Serwotka, Liam Byrne, Peter Hain, Neil Kinnock, Ed Miliband, Ed Balls, Alistair Campbell, Gordon Brown, Arthur Scargill…..see the pattern forming? All thick and loud mouthed.
Oh you are funny Guido
This preoccupation with Ed and Ed is showing a very poor judgment. Guido is now fully 100% in Tory HQ’s pockets. All his threads are given to him.
The daily attacks on Milliband are not sticking, and will not stick. The biggest liability in politics today is Cameron, he has lost his sheen already. His over confident flippant manner is not very endearing, and he is proving to be quite a nasty piece of work. Tory HQ warned Shale he was about to become the fall guy in a nasty Tory leak – 24 hours later he’s lying dead on the bog.
You don’t need to be a Tory to see what a pair of twats the Ed’s are.
You’re partly right.
Ed and Ed are a side-show; an amusing diversion, but of little political importance. One reason that Cameron can execute so many U-Turns is that the opposition is too weak to capitalise; Cameron is getting away with political murder because of it.
The real opposition are currently the LibDems.
…and the class of 2010.
… And the BBC/Guardian alliance!!!
I’ll remind you that you were joking about this man’s death this morning.
That is very poor judgement for anyone wanting to be taken seriously. Admittedly only somewhat distasteful by the standards of gits with made up names.
There’s something not right about Shale and what happened in the last few days.
Where do you get your information from to arrive at this judgement?
That beardy guy who runs Glastonbury saying that he’s been told by the police it looked like suicide is a good start.
If you don’t think someone who’s life was politics (as Mr Shale’s apparently was) dropping dead 24 hours after it became clear that his career was fucked doesn’t look a bit off then you’re being more than a little a bit naive imo.
I’d expect that someone who hasn’t slept well, might have been drinking the night before, and has a big shock, that is his fault, would have quite a big rise in blood pressure. Unless he’s actually a marathon runner or something like that, enough to be dangerous.
And 50-odd year old politicians do just drop dead, John Smith and Robin Cook for example.
yup
and it’s good thing no one thought there was anything unusual in Robin Cook’s death isn’t it?
and John Smith was an incredibly heavy drinker who’d had a heart attack a couple of years previous
tbh I’m sure there’s every chance it was a run of the mill heart attack, I don’t think he was bumped off for a second but wouldn’t be surprised to find it was suicide.
I heard on the radio that his family only reported him missing the following day, despite being at the festival with him, which seems a touch unusual.
The poor deluded soul….
That is why Ed Miliband’s approval rating is even LOWER than Nick Clegg’s is it Moussa?
Keep taking those hallucinogenic pills. You provide a great deal of entertainment, alongside mountains of evidence that labour supporters are utterly deranged.
I just read the full transcript and I have to say Murnaghan’s a cracking interviewer. You never see Labour get that kind of grilling on the bbc apart from Brillo and his show is tucked away on bbc2 daytime.
He’s an EX beeboid now clearly allowed to no longer tow the BBC line
That’s ‘toe the line’ old chap.
Just the kind of stupidity you’d expect from that fool.
Pity it’s just the Euro he’s burying. Could do with more room for all those Nazi Euro-federalists.
Yes, it’s silly.
However when you’re the second largest UK political party in European elections and yet you generally get ignored by the MSM throughout the European political crisis, you need to find some sort of way to attract coverage.
It is not enough to have been 100% right all along. The BBC has to like you too, see?
When the Green Party whose vote nationally is about the tenth the size of UKIP, still get utterly critic free coverage as a “serious” although minor party by the BBC, and UKIP, who have out-polled labour and the Lib Dems in a national election are treat little more than a tiny B&P in suits, by the BBC, then UKIP do need to do “odd” things to get media attention to increase their profile.
The BBC only seem to use UKIP to try to hit the tories. Other than that, they are largely ignored.
Perhaps another “trick” would be for all UKIP voters to register to vote in Bercow’s Oxfordshire constituency and surrounding constituencies, and ensure that Farage becomes an elected MP?
The Euro is a fiat currency manipulated by a central bank just like all the others. It doesn’t matter whether you use pounds/dollars/euros/yen etc, we’re all in the shit together. Buy gold or some actual physical asset and don’t let these banks destory your savings via inflation.
so there I was having cancelled my internet/ phone bundle in due time when I receive a letter saying ‘we’re sorry your leaving. can we pursuade you to stay’ – I ignore it because I don’t want the service anymore and I am allowed to cancel it. I write agian insisting that I am cancelling the account. I hear no more for a few weeks. I cancel my direct debit and two days latter get an angry letter from them asking me to call them to discuss my account.
What the fuck, all i want to do is cancel my account and it seems they won’t let me. They actually owe me a couple of weeks money and are obviously trying to prevent me getting it. When the fuck is this government going to stop this harrasment by companies or don’t customers matter anymore
get your new provider in pronto and tell talktalk to poke it.
I sumpathise. They are complete and utter tossers. I dumped them last year and went back to BT who have raised their game (a bit).
Given that Dunstone’s a fellow OE and pal of Camoron and donor to the Tories, the technical answer to your question is “not a fucking lot, actually”.
Fuck – he’s an OU, not an OE. The rest still stands.
I am leader.
The bbc have apparently offered Pippa “Shake my Booty” Middleton a five figure sum to appear on the next series of Strictly Come Dancing. Because she’s really hard up, isn’t she? For that amount, they should at least make it a condition she does every show in lingerie. And retitle it Strictly Cum Dancing.
Well if she goes Knickerless again the ratings will rocket.
Sadiq Khan seems to have had an attack of reality, with brutal honesty as a complication. Almost as devastating as Ann Widdicombe’s, “Something of the night”.
Hilarious
Year ago – Ed the Son of Brown…That didn’t fly
6 months ago – Ed the Son of Kinnock…That didn’t fly
Today – Ed now the Son of Foot….. You’re getting desperate now.
Must try harder… none of your Tory HQ inspired campaigns are doing very well- are they Guido
Must be time for your medication, my lad.
Let’s face it – RedEd is a foundling nobody wants to own up to.
How your blog going?
Oh no the one circle jerk who likes to mock and laugh in faces of dead men’s family’s
has got a hard on over Eddie and is upset that so many on here hate the useless red puppet queen !
Oh no what am us to do ?
Laughing in the fathes of dead men’th familieth ith the progrethive thing to do.
Labour nathtiness. Labour valueth.
Labour Party apologist – face facts, he’s useless. The Unions know it, his colleagues know it, the Party knows it and the public know it. He can be the ‘son of’ anyone. He’s still useless
I think the message from Tory HQ would be leave Ed well alone.
He’s Cameron’s secret weapon.
onanist!
Well try ED SON OF A BITCH on for size “copper knob”
Well at least no one can call me The Son of Ed as I have the birth certificate to prove it.
You were actually conceived by artificial insemination and Ed didn’t want to put ‘wanker’ as the father.
One wonders if in fact Ed had the self-knowledge to free his progeny from official recognition of his paternity.
“Year ago – Ed the Son of Brown…That didn’t fly
6 months ago – Ed the Son of Kinnock…That didn’t fly
Today – Ed now the Son of Foot….. You’re getting desperate now.”
Well the approval ratings say otherwise. Red Ed has tried so many relaunches and the more the public see of him, the less and less they like him.
Oh Dear, what will this week’s relaunch be like? Last week he asked the Unions to not go on strike. Fat lot of influence he has on his selfish and tax-wasting puppet masters in the unions.
Face it Moussa, you have backed a massive ELOOOOOOSER!!! He even lost over 60% of his OWN Parliamentary Party on the ONLY issue he has shown any leadership at all on in the whole year that he has been leader. AV!
What a total tosspot loser he is. Cameron may be a fuckwit, buthe has his own party and the Lib-Dems supporting him on loads of real policies.
OK he has got some difficulties on a few policies (plural), but compared to Ed Miliband, Cameron looks like the greatest leader in the free-world. And I say that as a dedicated UKIP supporter who cannot stand the flip-flopping traitor Cameron.
You talk about desperation. You must be looking in a mirror.
Your arguments are like saying, “Oh look at this 5 year old beat up ford mondeo, with a wing mirror hanging off and a flat tyre and then comparing it to a 15 year old Reliant Robin with a seized engine.
Hi Moussa. Quiet at LabourList?
It’s ALWAYS quiet at LabourLisp.
Its always quiet at Labourlist.
Wow, I beat Billy by a Millisecon
Thhhhh! Be quiet. We are thinking.
Is that irony,did you mean sinking?
I once spoke to Michael Foot in Hampstead years ago. I was going to look at an apartment but I couldn’t find the street. So I asked this scruffy old bloke with walking stick, and decked out in a donkey jacket, where it was.
He gave me the most peculiar look. As he pointed up to the street sign I was stood under , I readlised that actually we were stood in the very street I was looking for. So didn’t I feel foolish! And it was only as he ambled away did I realise that I had just encountered the leader of Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition.
He was quite polite and he did see the funny side. But I wonder how Milliband junior would have reacted in the same circumstances? He wouldn’t be wearing a donkey jacket anyway.
Ah yeth. You want grid referenthe 121, 533. It wath firtht built in 1655 and remodelled in 1854. There are lotth of B and C1 voterth and they want a progretthive thociety
I’m afraid you’ve come too far, too fast. It’s back there
sadiq telling that the people of tooting are worried about crime. well maybe you should visit your electorate or else you will find yourself out of a job next time. I have lived in the area longer than you have been an mp when you got rid of tom cox my decent labour MP. I would start thinking about your majoirty and not rely on the ethnic minorties in tooting to vote you in. Most of the core labour voters in my ward are elderly, so you vote is literally dying off.
next time if the tories can be bothered to put up a decent candidate, you will be on you way. If they put an experienced tory councillor who canvasses hard then thye might well win the seat.
I reckon the troll Moussa is Sion Simon. They share the same brand of retarded comedy.
Who ith Thion Thimon? He thound’th progrethive. I with to thee him.
What fuckin comedy
it’s even below primary school humor and Rich @ Marks !
Don’t think so. If identity was discovered
immediate banishment to social work somewhere.
I think some sort of youth worker, covered
in tattoos, piercings and probably a Staffy terrier
at home. Sleeps with the thing I expect.
Interesting thought ! He was a particularly poor excuse for a human, with his third rate attempts at humerous blogging, so he could have reverted to type with the plain nasty mk stuff. Didn’t he stand aside as an mp , to spend more time with labourlost , or his local postal voter registration group ?
I have just been allowed to join the Lib Dems.
Why? Were they coming apart?
Google is your friend.
Google: your gateway to a sea of completely shitty spam sites that are totally irrelevant to what you were looking for.
That’s unfair.
You should learn how to use it properly. It isn’t hard.
Nonce!
I heard you’d also joined Falkirk FC so you could play with The Bairns.
I like sharing stories with my farts.
all piss and wind as usual gordon
“We will strengthen our struggle with people from all over the world against capitalist brutality in order for the brutal measures that bankrupt the people not to be applied.”
Almost time for a good old tear up!
SadGit Khan still walks about nose !looking like he has shit on his
WTF Happened to that ?
“walks about like he has shit on his nose” !
Christopher Shale used to be an officer in the 17/21st Lancers
Motto; Death or Glory
At Glastonbury he met his Portaloo !
He chose death and ended up covered in something other than glory
BBC and facts is a oxymoron.

Well they are fully supportive of Agenda 21 and the global environmental fascism which demands a global genocide to bring global human population down to between 100 and 500 Million people, thus getting rid of between 6.1 and 6.6 BILLION people.
Sorry to invoke G.Odwin’s Law, but that is one thousand times more dead than the old National Socialist from the 1930s-1940s Germany managed.
What are we doing to tackle an evil with 1000 times the cruel and malevolent intent of that of those from Germany’s leadership circa 1933 – 1945?
If you are going to use examples from history, Stalin killed 3 times as many people as Hitler, Mao an unknown number but reckoned in the 10′s of millions, and of course there are the Killing Fields of Cambodia to be used as an example. I’m not belittling Hitler’s attempts at extirmination, just pointing out that mainstream socialism has been more successful than National Socialism in this area.
You want popadums with that?
Hurry up and lose, Murray.
good work nostradamus.
Billy fact: Khan is a Khunt.
Wen Jiabo said he and Cameron exchanged views on democracy. I imagine it went like this:
Cameron: Any chance you can give your people free speech and to stop hanging dissidents?
Wen: Fuck you.
Cameron: Okey dokey. We’re having sweet and sour pork for dinner tonight. Hope that suits you.
errrr £1bn contracts. For China, thats like going into a super market and leaving with only a 3p carrier bag
I wouldn’t mind £1 bn in my bank account.
Police say cause of Shale’s death is “unascertained”.
