Ed got the inevitable thrashing at PMQs, though it was clearly worse than they expected. Yesterday Labour media grid was leaked, yet today we can see that they’ve had to throw it out of the window after a dire morning. The faces lined up for the media today were Harman, Chuka Umunna and Ed Miliband, yet Balls had to be sent to Millbank to clean up immediately after Ed’s defeat. How bad must it be when Blinky is the mop-up man…

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.”
Ned Flanders – Clegg
Lisa Simpson – Natalie Bennett
Milhouse – Hilary Benn

Edna Krabappel – Luciana Berger

Or Maybe the leaked grid was wrong?
Some things in life encourage the dark side of the mind to show through, seeing that photo of that person is one of them.
We have an election in just one seat tomorrow, it will be interesting to see how things go.
Cameron wasn’t even able to get a majority against Brown even when economy was in a bad shape. Cameron is very good at one liners as he doesn’t answer the question or just lie but he is bad at every thing else.
Thanks Anonastooge, think that goes down as clutching at straws, your media grid really is all over the place. Back to simpering at your masters feet.
An election in what is, when all is said and done, the modern equivalent of a “rotten borough” – a seat filled to the rafters with Labour client voters, with a candidate parachuted in due to her subcontinental credentials.
I’m surprised they haven’t replaced party names with pictures to make the voters feel at home.
The only interesting thing about the election will be whether UKIP manage to beat the LibDums – a Labour victory is all but assured due to demographics.
Even before the voting you accept Labour win.
I though UKIP will be 3rd but after last Friday it will be 4th or 5th. But it doesn’t matter as LD is useless as UKIP.
Even the useless Greens has a MP.
Charlie the plumber
#TheGreatEscape
If you want to flush your money through the toilet call his company, there are local plumber who would do it cheaper.
As for him going to India, 99.9999999% of the houses hasn’t go hot water or heating. 80% hasn’t got a tap. In India you can get a good plumber for less than £2 a day.
He will do very well in India, let him go.
Anonymong, I asked you before, but you never answered, so I’ll try again……….. are you a foreigner? Possibly P.a.k.i.? Presumably you and your nine dozens relations living off state handouts? Vote Leiber in gratitude? Thought so.
I work at Heathrow, in an office a few doors down from Unite’s (quite large) local offices. Vast numbers residents work at Heathrow and are Unite members… Labour will win despite putting forward no credible alternative policies since the election – makes no sense to me…

You seems to think current lots policy is credible!
1) debt is going up much more than planned.
2) unemployment is going up
3) people coming into this country is going up
4) crime going up
If current lots policy is credible we would be in a better situation than May 2010 but we are in a worse situation.
It’s a very safe Labour seat, stuffed with Postal voting types and history shows that the main opposition party, just about never lose by-elections, in seats that they hold, don’t know when the last time that happened, but almost never.
The only way to have fun with the result of this safe Labour seat is to look at it as a fight for third place between UIKIP’s Andrew Charalambous and the Lib Dems.
Where in my post does it say I think the current lot are credible?!
My point is Labour will win, no matter how good or bad they are, because this Labour/Unite territory. Credibility of either side doesn’t seem to be an issue for the voters here, or sadly most other places.
As in the old one about putting up a donkey and it would get elected, they’ve done that in North Hackney since 1983.
He looks much nicer in his uniform.
I have instructed my Limp-Dumb hamsters to record the names of everyone abusing my Labour poodles. They will pay when I take control.
I can’t go for a walk in Clissold Park in case I see him and lose control of my normally good temper. He is so smug I want to piss over him.
Why don’t they just sack Ed? He is clearly not capable of doing the job.
Not that the Tories would want him to go though.
Sack Ed… you crazy man? the unions would come out on strike! then where would we be.
Not spending about £100 million for each day that the bedwetters and boxtickers are on strike.
Let them walk. The last time there was an “industrial action” (feck knows what industry most of these morons claim to represent) the gobshites on a picket near to me buggered off to the pub at 11.30 because they were cold.
Please please take that back. I look forward to PMQs more than ever before. The man does more damage to the Labour party than any conservative leader could ever do!
It gets better and better.
Bollox to Balls
Don’t think so. ‘Labour Story = EM’ is still technically correct although not for the original reasons.
Guido is right – shocking performance by Miliband and clearly lacks a decent PR team, most of all though he just acts/sounds/looks like a loser.
If Labour retain him as leader and if CastIron can get across to the public that retardEd Miliband and Clegg both want our budget being set by unelected Europeans then you can expect a pretty large majority victory for the Conservatives at the next election.
Thought the Grid was the thing that covers the sewer!!
Just remember….Balls was Brown’s “advisor” at the Treasury!!
Broon has a degree in History…highly qualified in Finance (NOT)
Balls has an economics background but clearly doesn’t understand it – ’twas he that advised Broon and between them they fucked up the economy!!
Nuff said…Simples!!!!
Will it affect me in any way, dear?
ORDER, old lady! I’ll have you removed.
Sadly Elsie Ed Balls has already happened, we just have to hope he doesn’t happen again. Tea trolly will be along in about twenty minutes.
Thank you, dear. I’m parched.
Ha ha, mate. We know that but how are your thirst-levels Elsie, gal?
How much longer can you go on being 83 and a quarter?.
As long as you can go on twitching, dear.
Don’t call me Deer.
Of course she’s dear, keeping old Elsie in a care home must be costing someone a fortune, just hope it’s not us.
Wasn’t this programme trending on Twitter, dear? What have our people come to since being deprived of their senses?
You’ve been 83 and a quarter for months now.
Are you the undead or just dead but pickled and preserved in Gin?
Just a bunch of spinners and liars……
The lights are going out all over the Liebore party.
Hahahahahaha.
Ken Livingstone’s new funding plan: dinner.

I’d personally be willing to pay an extra 10 to 20% to see the back of Red Ken.
Seriously.
If Ed M is still in place as leader in 2 yrs time, we should see the LibDems overtake them in the opinion polls..
Steady!
No, just a near one party state as we had in the mid eighties
If Ed is still in place in 2 years, they’ll be polling behind the bloody greens!
Oh Guido/Neo Guido
Can i just say (as last pmqs today and l/chat) a big thanks to you , Neo and all those that assist with the running and modding of the live chat feature, and also to all other window lickers that take part.
Thanks Guido and co
BB you are being very generous in showing your lurvvvvv to everyone today, take it easy with the sherry bottle !
Plus 1 on the ‘Thanks Guido and co” message
I think young Billy is a groveller!
..a brown-noser, actually.
Not got your T-shirt yet then?.
Seconded Billy. PMQ’s is thoroughly enjoyable and Guido’s blog gives us all the opportunity to vent our spleen. So Guido, like Billy says…….. a great big thank you.
+1 Billy. I thought the modding today was spot-on: firm but fair.
Agreed. Really enjoyed PMQs today. Might have had something to do with Ed’s stellar performance though.
Fine performance from the BBC on Daily Politics. Having admitted that most emails were of the opinion that Ed was piss-poor at PMQ’s, that pouting minx Jo Coburn then proceeded to read out only ones that thought Ed did well. The bias was so blatant it was laughable.
Dear editor,
Ed can’t appear on the show today because he came home crying from PMQs with a large skid*mark on his pants.
He’s upsatairs srubbing his keks with a brillopad as we speak
Good bye
Inside info from Number Ten staffer under Bliar and the One-Eyed Scottish Moron: Harriet Harman is bigoted, stubborn and blessed with lower than average intelligence. No surprise there, then.
Unbelievable! What a cretin.
Tesco and the Pope? Are these separate issues or are they related?
Hello, Ed. No, they’re not related. I hate Tesco because it’s a criminal organisation that breaks planning laws, as happened recently in Harrogate. They treat suppliers and staff like shit. I know this from working for a market research organisation. Tesco destroys small, local shops and traders, as do some other big retailers. Tesco is by far the worst. Their produce is often second-rate, largely because of their cheese-paring (arf!) deals with suppliers. Many of the suppliers go out of business as a result. One told me he had to pay Tesco for in-store advertising out of his own pocket, just before he was dumped in favour of another small company. Tesco is in a strong, though slightly fading position, because of the preponderance of chavs in their customer base. If you read the excellent book Tescopoly you will never shop there again. We don’t need them and I boycott them totally and encourage others to do so. Please join us.
As for the fuckers in the Vatican, I have first-hand experience of the church’s child-molestation shenanigans. Two handicapped sons of one of my friends were interfered with regularly in a Catholic special school in the ’70s and now, in their ’40s, have only just summoned up the courage to tell their parents what happened. I’m happy to say their father is currently taking legal advice. The way successive popes have attempted to side-step the day of reckoning by moving around suspect priests from parish to parish is nothing less than criminal. I could tell you in detail about the priest I met in Mexico who has been excommunicated for telling the single mums in his dirt-poor parish to use contraception, but I’ll be brief. He told me, close to tears, that he has no ground left in which to bury still-born and abandoned children.
Thanks for the reply. Makes sense. I actually share your views – just couldn’t figure out how to lump the two together.
Cheers…
Actually, Ed, your welcome question has made me realise Tesco and the Vatican (as opposed to whichever Pope is wearing the ridiculous robes) ARE related. Both are criminal organisations. I may have linked them subconsciously. Perhaps I should change my moniker to I Hate Tesco AND The Vatican! I’m pleased you have sympathy with my opinions.
His Holiness has asked me to say that we are not a priest ridden, guilt obsessed, mumbo-jumbo mumbling, relic worshipping, child molesting, indulgence selling criminal organisation and He should know as He is infallible.
So there.
Often wonder – with Tesco and the other big stores, who announce big job creations with new stores, presumably mostly for part time staff. Do these employees claim Tax credits?
To what extent are the Tax Payers subsidizing the Super Markets Profits?
Is Cameron’s collar getting a bit tight?
Too many slap up meals over in Europe where the gravy train never stops, other than taking on more of our money.
See, I told you, this alleged veto was NOT out of principle but solely for selfish dietary reasons.
Certainly is. His wife needs to buy him some bigger collars and have them well starched. He looked an absolute shambles at PMQs with his collar flapping outside his jacket.
Same on Monday. Is he allowed to wear a button-down?
So which will be remembered more historically– the piss he DIDN’T take, or the piss he DID take?
*pa DOOM poom!*
(Note: It isn’t healthy to restrain yourself that way; in old age you may become incontinent. “LCBT 83 1/4″ may wish to elaborate.)
I am laughing, dear, which has caused a slight leakage. I have very little say in these matters nowadays. If I venture out I wear plenty of absorbent layers, mainly from Primark.
Enoch Powell’s best (remembered) speeches were delivered with a full bladder, apparently…
Well, he certainly pissed on Red Ed!
Well it’s not as if we are brothers!
!3 jobs lost in the public sector
for each one created in the private sector
Cameron you bastard you promised us at least 25% cuts
That figure should be 25 lost for ever one created !
With Labour it’s always worse than we thought- for 13 years it was worse for us, for the last 21months it’s been worse for them.
Is it really that long ago that I voted for the nazis, dear? My, how time passes!
What are you doing tonight, darlin’?
Oh, the same as usual, dear: half a sherry and some gentle knitting whilst keeping an eye on you young gentlemen fingering your qwertys.
Not you thats for sure. Thick Twat!!
Caroline Flint on the Daily Politics. Her face looked like a bull dog licking piss off a thistle. She is still in denial, rude and a loser. I notice she wasn’t stolen during the riots, some window dressing.
They need to put her back in the “shop window”
With all the other dummies !
In Amsterdam?
Between the double glazing where there is no oxygen.
In denial, rude and a loser. Sums up most of the BBC.
And Ed Balls
I’d throw my colostomy bag at this pigs arse it if was full, just wait till later. As an old f*cker I can get in close to Labour Shits like this as they think you’re all so grateful to them. Send the c_nt over I’ll show him what real quantative easing looks like.
That’s just a reprise of this mornings Breakfast TV.
Labour don’t do Economics, they never have, and they never will.
Also, they (and the Lib Dems, BBC, Guardian, and the lentil eating class in general) berate the Tories for being “isolated” in Europe, yet what they fail to realise is that Cameron’s proverbial flibbing of the bird to the EU is a vote winner. The more they criticise this act of defiance, the more it makes them look “isolated”.
whilst the BBC and ex eurocrats line up on the bbc to critsize cameron, most voters think he has done the right thing. If the euro does go done the toilet ( i hope it does not) then who wants to be holding worthless euros or trying to change the currency into national currencies. Would you really want to change your euros into drachma or lira really. The markets see a bad deal as the southern euro states will not reform. The merde will hit the fan when the EU tells france how to run its economy, as it eventually will !!
i feel i must post just for the sake of it.
this boring blog has no glue anymore
time to get the dynamite under guido’s arse and blow the twot up for good.
Advertisers? why? a very few eyeballs here. stickiness yes but mostly in fatty fawkes trousers
That’s the spirit, dear. Sticky S t a i n e s has become even fatter whilst resting on his laurels, hasn’t he, Mr. Thumper? By the way: my Reg (God bless) quite enjoyed his glue.
I’m sure your Reg (God bless) was never glueless.
Did he used to sniff it from a paper bag like the kid next door does on the back stairs?
Never use a foreign loo – as my old Gran used to say
Just taken delivery of my new elephant gun. A .600 Nitro Express cartridge with a bullet that weighs 900 grains. It produces energy of 5,413 ft lbf and has a velocity of 1646 ft/s from a distance of 100 yards.
Was looking for something to practice on when … oh look …
Bang !!!!
Got the bastard!
Right in the Balls?
That was the second shot just to be sure.
Then a third shot to make sure he don’t come back again.
And a fourth shot just cause I love hearing the sound…
#cantremeberwhosaidittho????
Fucking wasn’t me!!
You just did, stupid C*nt.
Boring as fuck, mam. Begging your pardon.
Some good news – that thieving bitch Uddin is to be banned from the HoL until she pays back the 125,000 she owes:

Good start but should be plus interest and charges at least…
As long as I get to ignite the charges.
After the good news, a “you couldn’t make it up” story: Tracey Emin appointed as RA Professor of Drawing. Next – Ed Balls appointed as Professor of Economics?

Militwits policies are known for their sketchy simplicity.
Or indeed their simple sketchiness.

Where’s the commenter Tony Soprano? I’d like him to sort out Ed Balls.
I wish Ed Miliband well.
I will ask Nurse Botha to give you a nice sulphuric acid enema. You are obviously full of shit today.
Ed. Donkey jacket leader of his party
I hate Tescos AND the Pope is spot on with his comments about Tesco.
We are a medium size supplier and supplied Tesco for a short while
We supply several of the Big Chains and are always reared with honesty and respect
Tescos are a bunch of arseholes who do treat Suppliers with contempt and disshonesty, they are driven by price and price only, quality and value for money is of NO interest to them
We incidentally to there shock informed THEM we wished to be removed from there Supplier list and have since returned to a healthy profit and much less stress
We should all boycott that most wretched of Companies.
As for Milltwit and Balls ? they are finished. Balls surely has to be a Tory Mole whose brief is to ensure that what little credibilty they (labour) have is destroyed
Damn fine job he is making of it as well
Leave me alone. I want to crawl up Merkozy’s bottoms.
