          Huhne needs to go so as many more says:

          The justice minister, Jonathan Djanogly, has been stripped of his responsibility to regulate firms that “ambulance chase” the public following a Guardian investigation that revealed how he and his family could profit from controversial changes to legal aid he was piloting in parliament.

          • Lord Trombone. W says:

            Mr Bercow’s retirement package, one of the most generous in the country, will pay him the equivalent of half his salary throughout his life, whenever he retires.
            It is currently worth about £40,000 a year. A similar pension would cost more than £2million to fund privately.
            Mr Bercow does not have to make any contributions to the scheme. He is entitled to an additional MP’s pension, which requires contributions, although it is not known if he has accepted this option.
            A senior Tory MP said: “Mr Bercow’s behaviour is a disgrace. Everyone else realises that if we are asking the public sector to contribute more for their pensions, then so should we.”

            FUCKING CNUT

          • themightychew says:

            does Guido not comment on stories he didn’t break? why no condemnation of this Djanogly character? busy trying to concentrate on holding down the bile of Tory sleaze that’s bubbling up? :0)

          Camerons press briefing likely to loose him the next election……

          On Power….. he says

          “its global pricing which is the issue…..” ???????

          Not labour 13 years of miss-spending, by thier Sec of Energy… Ed Milliband

          “companyies need to be clearer about pricing”…… yawn

          “folks need to switch more”…… ekkk

          “people need more insulation”….. most got it already…..

          And does Ed need to answer why he did nothing…. no his reply is

          “Power Companies are a cartel and fixing prices”….. wow ! that believing spin!

          Downing street press in a real mess…..

          next year we have labours legacy of £9 billion spent on the olympics, when it could have been spend on 4 power stations which would reduce our dependancy on expensive gas.

          labour press secretary maybe have dodgy past – but he as good as cambell on spin, and labour won 3 elections on the basis of good spin control.

          • The Bottle Fed Triplet says:

            Sorry Meme, you’ve got that wrong. The Olympics are only going to cost £2.7 billion pounds. Tessa Jowell was on the telly and she said that is all it would cost. She wouldn’t lie now would she?

        Parliamentary Standards Commissioner says:

        I do not have the powers to look into Mr Handycock being a Russian Spy. Today my staff and I are having a scrabble competition as we have nothing else to do to justify our enormous salaries and accrued index linked pensions.

        • 151
          Real Parliamentary Standards Commissioner says:

          Whoever it is who is impersonating me, I will have you know that I and my Staff work extremely hard. Although I have no powers, it is an extermely stressful, demanding and difficult job, covering up the demeanours of MP’s escpecially the ones, like Mr Handycock and Mr Huhne, who are fully aware that I have no powers, so immediately one commits an offence, the other reports him to me. I and my Staff then have to immediately implement a cover up, regardless of what our social committments might be. Boaz.

          • Parliamentary Standards Comminsionaire says:

            I am the real Parliamentary Standards Commisioner and to avoid confusion I am easily identifyible by my cowardice,sychophanty, lack of backbone and I always carry a huge bucket of whitewash around with me.

      autolycus says:

      The suspension of the green taxes should be the leading policy of all commentators. It makes no sense to pursue a costly policy which hits the ordinary citizen as well as industry. Meanwhile there are millionaires who are making a fortune out of the policy – a subject never covered by print or broadcast news.

      As the economies of Europe sink beneath the waves the last sight of them wi ll be a green flag signalling the perfect answer to climate change, the destruction of all western industrial activity and the deaths of its citizens. There will be oil-fired Indian and Chinese vessels waiting to pick up survivors.

      The only consolation would be the sight of Captain Huhne , standing on the bridge and saluting the flag, as he goes down with the ship.

        No he wont. He will ask a family member to take his place then deny all knowledge of anything he had his dirty little fingers in.

          Sam Cam’s dad makes 350 large a year from the wind scam. You don’t think Green Dave will shoot himself in the foot for the sake of the freezing pensioners do you? The little people will have to die patriotically so that Dave, Sam and their priviliged kids can live in the style they are accustomed to.

        If we can just freeze to death, say 2 million OAPs, just think of all those Benefits, Winter Fuel Payments and Old Age Pensions, we can save. Luvvly Jubbly.

        You know it makes sense.

Oh yes, on the M11.

      I think I need a drink. What about using my wind turbines as maypoles for the children? That, at least, would make them of some use.

    Huhne’s three point plan for energy….

    Insulate,,,,check you are on the cheapest tariff…..pay by direct debit.

    No wonder he’s tired……..these three-point plans he comes up with him either take it out of him or stop him having them in the first place.

    • 116

      Huhne’s three point plan for energy:

      Hold some fake “summit” that does nothing to address fat margins; get British Gas to do some marketing bullshit about how helpful they are; blame the consumer.

      No wonder the cowardly bastard is too scared to speak up for himself on Newsnight.

    There appears to be a lot of static thinking regarding inflation

    UK inflation is a relationship between GBP sterling currency and the spot value of goods and services

    If that number decreases in value over time why would you want to own it?

    My name is Bollox says:

    However, the government wants the “big six” utilities to spend £200bn on renewing Britain’s entire energy infrastructure over the next decade. The cost of this ambitious scheme to replace lost generating capacity and cut carbon dioxide emissions will be passed on to consumers in the form of higher bills, said analysts.

    If so, future increases in energy charges will be the indirect result of government policy.

    The Reform, the palatial gentlemen’s club in Pall Mall which numbered the traitor Guy Burgess among its members, must be feeling the pinch now that David Walker, the husband of The Guardian’s Polly Toynbee, can no longer wine and dine his contacts there at the taxpayers’ expense.

    A parliamentary written reply shows that Walker went to his club at least once a month in his final days as the communications director of the Audit Commission with the likes of Sir Nicholas Montagu, the former chairman of the Inland Revenue, Baron Adebowale, of Turning Point, and Tony Wright, the Labour MP.

      I’m increasingly of the opinion that he doesn’t give a shit. He’s like Brown. Loving the title of PM – an end in itself.

      Why, 18 months after the Maximum Imbecile got slung out are we still weighed down by his (Brown’s) one million additional box-tickers, bedwetters and bastards? Why are these fuckers not on the dole which is all the majority of the worthless c*unts are fit for?

    Well where’s militwit?

    He was energy minister before huhne . It was militwit , with gordon’s blessing, that implemented all these green energy taxes that are now costing us so dear.

    It was militwit that refused to take a decision on nuclear power when he was told we would face energy blackouts within a year or two without it. It was militwit who pushed investment towards windfarms that can’t work if the wind is too strong or not strong enough and in any case costs 3 times as much to produce less than half of what nuclear would produce.

    Now bandwagon militwit is bleating about on the sidelines saying the coalition must do something urgently about the imminent energy shortfall and bring the price of energy down.

    So why didn’ he do it when he had the chance?

          Husband of the M11 phantom. says:

          I won’t be coming home. Someone wants to run away with me. I think it’s my lover’s father-in-law. Nice beard, and he’s got one too.

          You don’t understand me, not that I do either. That makes two of us. See, I can add up. Ignore what the press say about my girl friend. She just gets confused at times. Keeps wondering which way to turn.

          You can keep the dog, and the cockerel.

    Billy Bowden is the greatest umpire ever ! says:

    Although why he he has to turn up everytime the BBC wants a minister etc is beyond me.

    If i was a government minister i would not go on any BBC show except daily politiczs with Brillo.

    Chris can take climate change and stick it up his arse says:

    You do have to wonder about the psyche of someone who tries to get his wife to take the fall for his crime, uses emotional blackmail on his children to get their help getting him off the hook, and tells his wife their marriage is over and that they’ve got 30 minutes to kill the story. A lot of people will be cheering when his political career eventually ends in tatters. If only the CPS would hurry the fuck up.

    Do we really need to know that the 96 killed at hillsbrough were killed by thier fellow “fans” behaviour?

    and how anyone can pin it on Baroness Thatcher is beyond me.

        Labour MP Steve Rotherham.

        http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-15339818

        “I call on the prime minister to make a statement in this house and apologise for the mistakes that were made and the mishandling of this whole tragedy on behalf of a previous government,” he said.

        Labour MP Steve Rotheram was moved to tears as he read the names of those who died

        The Labour MP attacked the “smears” and “establishment cover-up” which led to fans initially being blamed for the disaster.

    Engineer says:

    Chris Huhne’s three points:

    Point 1 – An indefensible energy policy.

    Point 2 – An indefensible attitude to family and personal life.

    Point 3 – An indefensible attitude to road traffic regulations.

    Donald says:

    After being expertly mauled by a well read Cathy Newman on C4 evening news Huhne has chickened out of another go.

    He sat around and denied Ofgem/DfE forecast for energy costs, national demand etc and generally revealed himself to be a complete Hoon.

    Perhaps someone more tech savvy could add the link?

    Whats In A Name says:

    One of Guido’s most perceptive moments, replacing the Hoon C-Word with the Huhne alternative, well before most people realised what a complete and utter Huhne, Huhne is!

    The true worthlessness of this individual must surely be filtering down to even the least aware of observers of the political lifeform.

Ed Balls stretches credulity by claiming he isn’t ambitious

“I would love to be part of Ed’s Labour government but what I do next for me is not an all-consuming passion. I’m more bothered, in a personal sense, about getting to grade 8 piano by the time I’m 50.”
