Up Yours M’Lord
Baroness Trumpington, the 89-year-old Tory peer didn’t take too kindly to having her age mentioned by Lord King of Bridgewater:

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.”

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.
Politicons cant handle the truth!
What’s her salary?
Uddin returns to Lords, Free from any chance of repaying £125000 rip off
Fucking disgracefull
Does she have any great great grandaughters?
The bridge in Bridgwater is e-less.
Back to sleep now, love.
here, i’m trying on my new reading glasses and i can’t see a bleedin’ thing
Oh what a little up start
Looks as if she’s dead….and has been for quite some time.
On the contrary. What a lady – as her profile on They Work for You shows:

Compare and contrast with Baroness Udders and other dishonest slobs nearly half her age.
Oh, Guido, you’ve got to try and link to the video on the Total Politics site – it’s hilarious!
What an absolute gem of a woman!
I’m currently re-re-reading Alan Clark’s first edition of his diaries, including his constant spats with “TK” while at the MoD – excellent stuff.
Well, her date of birth (October 23, 1922) is on Wikipedia so it’s hardly a secret.
Shhhh! You’ll wake he up again.
About time these old-farts were pensioned off for un-corruptable young peers like Mandelson!
2 minutes left to speak?
Are we paying for tenalady pads on expenses?
It could be the order for the afternoon grog ration !!! Given you can swindle money from the chamber , go to prison and get your job back with few objections I would think all Hon Lords and members need a stiff drink
Really Tom, not very polite for a gentleman.
Incidentally Guido, Bridgwater is spelled without an e.
What a silly old bag, dear.
Watch the you tube clip and you will see this post is a load of bollocks. She was merely indicating the number of WW2 veterans left in the Lords.
yeah, sure, that must be why the bird over on the far right was pissing herself laughing.
eh’ two f’coffee
She’s a feisty old bird. My former boss saw her handing round the nibbles at a Defra drinks party in a shapeless cardi, and as little Gummer was the Minister, and thinking that she was a secretary or tea lady pressed into service, jovially asked her what it was like “working for these awful politicians.” I’m Minister of State” was the reply, delivered in an icy tone….
Bless her. She was my headmaster’s wife, way back in the 60s and a formidable battle axe back then. Shed’d have had any of you above dissing her out on an ear no problem
Baroness Trumpington. What a wonderful woman. The problem with most of the cretinous commentators today is that they judge the worth of what a person says and does by their outward appearance (agism?). However, just because someone is old doesn’t mean that they are feeble-minded. If there was more respect for older people perhaps we wouldn’t have collectively made as many mistakes over the past few decades. Labour’s destruction of the House of Lords was in no small part due to the lack of respect for people who have gained experience through age. Mr Blair is the epitomy of folie de jeunesse. Not that he looks youthful these days; but that’s what choosing the dark side does for you – prematurely ages and destroys.
I would love to be taken in hand by this woman.I would’t say no to a hand job either.
She looks older.
Lady Trumpington was the Lord’s Welsh Office minister in 1991. A fine woman who has a long and distinguished career in local and national politics. She is nobody’s fool. She served in the Womans Land Army n World War 2.
