Just in time for PMQs the Quarter Three donation figures reveal that 89% of Labour’s funding comes from the unions. With Dave buying land with £140,000 cash from a lobbyist you can see the dividing lines drawing themselves. Handbags at noon.

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.
Ed will back them one way or another.
Who’s that dickhead No4 below, pretending to be you?
The correct grammar for the phrase:
“With Dave buying land with £140,000 cash from a lobbyist”
is
“With Dave buying land from a lobbyist with £140,000 cash”.
The former phrase has a different, and potentially unhelpful, meaning for the First Lord of the Treasury.
Indeed.
He might well have bought the land with £140,000 that he received from a lobbyist. Nothing about the Wastemonster sty surprises me now.
That’s the way to win. Back every horse. DAH! Labour have always been and always will be unionists. surely everyone knows that.
And why should Labour should condemn the strikes? They are an entirely legal and proportionate response to workers agreed benefits being taken away.
Sharon Gascoigne is so disgusted by her ex-husband she wants no association with him.
That would be Paul GASCOIGNE.
At a time when……..
. . . ANYTHING bought with cash attracts all sorts of questions from the police, banks, solicitors, tax inspectors . . .
where the hell did he get that sort of cash, laying about, from??
and drugs agencies . .
I and my boys in Portsmouth deal in cash all the time. Even my villa in Spain was bought with cash. There is nothing suspicious therefore, of politicians using cash for major purchases. It is when you put it in the Banks that it arouses suspicions.
So camron can manage his own finances & the chimp opposite is pissed off because he’s got to take it up the “Gary glitter” from the unions to pay his way
The point is that we both do and do not support the strikes.
Ed Miliband to win today’s PMQ’s by a knockout.
David”Fatty”Cameron to lose his rag yet again,being the arse that he is !
<——-Labour list is that way!
Along with the Guardian the BBC and the Mirror, all that shit is just down that long dark ally to the left over there, you see? Good, now collect your full refund on the way out and fuck off and don’t come back!
Dave’s probably got £140,000+ in the building society. I certainly have.
Buy something with it. Preferably gold. Even the MPC fears inflation now.
So you buy gold. There’s heavy inflation. Your tax bill on the gain in nominal value is then ..?
Like Ed ” Miliband Dave” is a wealthy millionaire and personally I don’t give a toss if he wants to spend his own money buying a plot of land next to his Witney home…I guess that the cost in on par for land in that part of Oxfordhire bordering on the Cotswolds. At least he’s not a hypocrit like the Labour Leader and some others that are in the Shadow Cabinet
Turning to labour support of the strike they haven’t the bottle to tell the unions that they’re bang out of order on this……the fact is that the lower paid will be better off and anyone within 10 years of retiring won’t be affected.To call a strike during negotiations tells you a lot about the reasoning about this so called “Day of Action”…it’s not about pensions its purely political and it’s not as if it will achieve very much either other than highlight how out of touch public sector workers are with the reality of the global economic position. They’re lucky that it’s not America when Reagan was President he’d have sacked the lot of ‘em and replaced them with some of the 2.5 million unemployed
WTF.
I see the Beeboids on DP trying to make an issue out of Cameron’s purchase. What are they suggesting? something underhand – this is clearly not the case. Rich v poor? I’d sooner have a competent rich person running the country than an incompetent poor leftie. Oh but then again the Millband’s aren’t poor, nor are the Ball’s (thanks to their tax avoidance), nor te Toynbee’s of his world – she with more homes than you could swing Larry the cat at.
I’d sooner have a competent rich person too – unfortunately, we’ve got fuckwit Dave
I shall not be in the house due to contracting a massive dose.
Good bye
My husband my free lunch
Milliband is such a brain-dead idiot that he will support the strikes and convince himself that by doing so he is helping the UK economy!
Doubt it, he needs to understand what the economy is before developing an opinion on it.
I’ve got a CL of more than that on my Credit Card. Another non-issue.
Does anyone know how much tax payer funding the unions have had?
£85.8m in 2009/10 alone.
http://www.publicservice.co.uk/blog_story.asp?id=258
Unions should receive no taxpayer funding at all. It’s about time they learned to pay for themselves, with members’ subs being priced accordingly.
Let’s see how many members are willing to renew their subscriptions when they have to fork out the full cost of propping up the unions, and by extension the Labour party, themselves, instead of sponging a discount courtesy of the taxpayer.
Cameron and his shitty party have been bought up by the wankers in the City.
Inane stupid comment, thought about joining the Labour party?
Wibble.
The £140,000 cash purcase is the story today, tomorrow and maybe the day after, unless the Tories yet again reduce the cost of baby buring.
The Labour party are the party of Spin and BS. The use terms such as:
* Tory led Coalition
* To fast to deep
* etc..
Why call them what they are…. “The Trade Union party.” Imagine if all coalition communication referred to them as that?

It was boring the first time.
and misspelt
So who speaks for Millibandius Mininmus today, Bob “my members” Crow.
So, “Call me Dave” bought some land, at a market price, big deal, Not.
Unions own Labour Party, not new news.
Unions suborn MP’s with undeclared financial gifts. A well trodden path used by those beloved organs of state repression, the KGB in Soviet Russia.
For a Marxist leader like Millibandius, no problem, all proceeding naturally.
For Labour Party members and voters, worrying, you’ve been upstreamed.
Why have I been modded?
It’s fair comment, its not rude or obscene, it’s not libellous.
Come on Guido, sort out your walls and systems.
Have a refund and fuck off.
Dave probably wants it for a burial plot – just enough room for Sir’s ego.
Many thanks Guido/Neo for livechat and to fellow-windlickers and of course OH, Rats, TT, spank and Dick 9sorry if i forgot anyone.

Wrong again, Farage. You are a tit.
I sometimes cry at PMQ’s.
Hehehehehe…
Don’t believe everything you read in the papers.
Or twitter
We have NOT and never will condemn the coming strikes although these strikes are wrong.
Wibble.
It’s true. We’re funded by ordinary working people rather then by dodgy offshore bankers. The shame of it.
If by ‘ordinary working people’ you mean the taxpayers who are forced to pay the salaries of Union activists who work for the Labour Party whilst they are supposed to be doing their public sector jobs, then yes.
You seem to have this blog confused with real life.
Not sure why people seem to think it news that the interests of the Labour Party and the TUC trade unions are one and the same.
The Labour Party and the TUC trade union’s – the state-sanctioned labour movement – role is (and has always been) to monopolise and hegemonise organised labour in this country. At best they can claim reformist ‘concessions’ from their capitalist bedfellows (in the interest of order and preservation of the status quo), at worst they are class collaborators.
The critique of these people from the Right – that they are self-serving, aloof from their membership and acting in the interests of the Labour Party is, for the most part, entirely correct. News, however, it is not.
