Unite Join the Splitters
Of all the attacks on his leadership, Miliband will have been most relieved with “Red” Len McCluskey’s war-cry in this morning’s Guardian. Unite the Union declaring that Ed is shifting to the right and thus heading over an electoral cliff was to be expected after the two Eds declared support for the public sector pay freeze and the messy announcement about not reversing cuts. Last night one Miliband insider dryly described it to Guido as “the best news he’d had all year”. While putting some distance between the leader and dinosaurs is a good plan, it’s a little more complex in this case though…
Rumours that this is coordinated are wide of the mark and there are some pretty vicious one liners for McCluskey. Blair and Brown could risk the wrath of the brothers because they were not so dependent on their money. Unite are Labour’s biggest donor at the moment and put Ed in the job. The PLP didn’t want Ed in the first place, and now he’s losing support from those that did. Team Ed won’t be so cock-a-hoop if the money dries up…
How can you trust anything that these Fraudster Class Banker Politicians Pension fund managers. They are all educated at the same schools same Universities to visit Criminal and Corporate Fraud against the masses.
Educated in the arts of ripping off poor old you. diddums
Europe orders Britain to not deprt Abu Qatada.
Pro EU Conservatives make me sick – weak, weak, weak.
Nice one. Apparently his family (all claiming benefits – total: £800 per week) live in an £800,000 house in London – at your expense. And they don’t pay any council tax (his home’s rate: just under £2,300 p/a).
You can see why he hates Britain.
Yeah, sounds like another MI6-MI5 stooge. I mean you couldn’t make it up the last one looked like Captain Hook, I pissed my pants when he admitted his involvement with the security apparatus of frightening the Sun and Daily Mail readers. F–king Sheep need to wake up.
Yeah and have broken the whole Capitalist system, Great! Hope you know how to make Turnip soup as you will be living on it for the next 30 year. ha ha.
Turnip soup? Sorry, old chap. I’m going to let my chums in the construction industry concrete the entire country. Just you try growing turnips when the land’s buried under a sea of cement.
No, you’ll just have to buy your food at inflated prices at my chums’ superstores that will be built on all this concrete.
Toodle pip!
The Vested interests of the few, destroying the aspirations of the many.,
That of course is exactly what the unions have done over the years. bobcrow and his pals lining their own pockets whilst keeping the ‘little man’ down!
OI, WARZE ME FEKIN 600 NICKER DINNA??
They are all a party to the same Fraud and have broken everything. A good clear out is coming when the Banks switch of the credit cards and ATM’s. Maybe this year?
Defo this year. 01.04.2012

Wasn’t Len McCluskey at Eton with the rest of us?
Interesting thing about him is that he was voted in as leader of unite by getting a majority vote on a 15% turnout of the membership. So they were obviously desperate to have him!
How democratic is that!?
Perhaps the only place that democracy is alive is on the net.
I see our European Masters have told us we cannot deport Abu Qatada.
Nick Clegg & David Cameron must be so proud of their un-swerving obedience to their EU Masters.
Mind you, Cameron cannot even sack Huhne – what chance has he got standing up to Clegg & his EU Masters over terrorists who rape our bebefits system & our freedoms as part of their Ji-had?
We may as well turn Westminster into a tourist attraction – the real power is in Brussells – we no longer decide who lives here & who does not – Europe does.
Tories – FFS will you just accept that Cameron is a duplicitous EU Heathite who is destroying the party?
Vote UKIP
I thought the decision was that he could not be returned to Jordan. So how about sending him to California instead?
Music to my ears
Ah the masses! A good old commie characterisation lest we should make the mistake of talking about people, because people are atomised individuals in socialistic parlance who do not know what is good for them.
We the great leaders will tell them what is good for them.
I think this is a stunt to con the public into thinking that the unions are not as close as they are to Labour.
But if it is not a stunt then i think we can conclude that Ed Milibands re-launch failed.
What re-launch?
There are so many to choose from…
His relaunch has less chance than a Gary Glitter comeback.
Struth that’s an old piccy, mind you he’s still a fatty
Yep – defo a stunt.
I’m sure unite will keep on paying labour whatever (what else are they going to do with all the money we give them? Start their own party?) but I don’t think Ed^2 will have worked that out so won’t dare anger them without permission.
Len for leadership
Lenny seems to have forgotten that if the Eddies and their gang lose, Lenboy will also lose as Liebore back or should I say help the unions, I think a little bit of joined up thinking is required
If it’s a con a and labour just want to appear disconnected from the unions the subsidy from unite will keep coming but they’ll hid the payment some how . A lot of the MPs are run by their union pimps , they’re not going anywhere .
Len McCluskey should form his own party but for the fact nobody would vote for it so his views have to parasite on the back of others & the leadership team are the same
Basically say what people want us to be out of power be what we are when were back in power
Seems that Harperson is fighting the cuts. Well she said so on Today. Good to see the front bench team all together.
A civil war amongst the leftwing. Very entertaining.
Total claptrap bedwetter Harridan spewed and that fellow ‘wimmin’ mong Montague never challenged the incoherency of her rant!!! FFS!!
It will be just like the old days soon…
This bust-up has been on the cards ever since Brown defenestrated Blair. Long may it continue.
Whatever next ? Marr’s attacks ?
According to his beeb mate, Marr doesn’t understand Miliband’s argument. (FIGHT!)
Hattie Hatemen was just on Radio 5 getting a soft time off Nicky Campbell, she basically said the total opposite of what the two Ed’s said.
McCluskey looks like an old mate of ours.
If Labour are short of money they can always come down to Portsmouth and talk to me and my ‘boys.’
Hi Handy, you and Portsmouth City Council are legend here in Africa. Bob Mugabe has briefed us all on how you raise political funds by using taxpayer’s money and planning kickbacks, and we are all implementing it here. We have a lot to learn about corruption from our old colonial masters, and you and Portsmouth City Council are our shining light. Many thanks.
Have you seen this Goodluck? They are at it again.
http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/politics/plan_to_bring_1billion_of_investment_to_portsmouth_given_green_light_1_3424937
Where else in the world can you find such inspiration?
Goodluck, your finance minister was on BBC WS last night and explained how your new Petrol tax would raise the money to ‘create 150,000′ jobs every year. Do you not have access to world news?
You have an appropriate first name Sir.
Goodluck.
Dear Mr Cock , We’d like to extend an invitation to yourself and your colleagues to come up to our fair city and observe first hand how things work in our property conservation department. Im sure you could learn a thing or two.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-15405208
What time is the next tram?
2032, we’re hoping to link it up with HS1
I will be up as soon as I can, I am always willing to learn. Will Edinburgh City Council pay my expenses, together with Portsmouth City Council and the Houses of commons, for the trip? I would also like a young female Aide to look after me during my visit, do you have any from eastern Europe? Please forward a list of the best deluxe hotels in the city by return. Many thanks. Jahbulon.
i saw mucclusky in lock stock and two smoking barrels
McCluskey obviously starting to work hard to avoid Labour winning the next election here.
Excellent. the left fighting each other. May it be long and bloody.
My word! Dinosaur is right.
Apart from views that would be more at home in the 1930s That man is Ugly!
A match made in heaven for Baroness Ashton. Both got the wrong end spanked by the midwife.
Can’t people just get off Milligan’s back.
It isn’t as if he has ever done anything wrong.
If he had been photographed doing something really stupid like for example waving a banana in the air in public I could quite understand the argument that he is not leadership potential.
Possibly the fact that even his supporters can’t remember his name is part of the argument. DUEMA!
Who is the other candidate to succeed Edina, if not banana man?
My money won’t dry up. I have plenty with which to buy more £1500 suits whilst condemning Cameron and Osborne for being rich.
We are not confused we are in complete agreement, we all think Ed Milibank is a complete C*un*ting soapy titty wank! BOLLOX!
It is said labour is controlled by the unions when in fact it is controlled by 5 or 6 union leaders.
The Devil has a special place in Hell for these selfish bastards
Hilarious! Len McHoffa fixes it for second rate but pliable candidate to win and then finds that he isn’t sticking to the agreed script! Harriet Hagwoman just on Sky news denying reality!
Labour are in denial about everything. They still believe we can keep printing money and spend our way out of the disastrous black hole they left us . And they still think they can win the 2015 election on that basis with ed and ed in the lead.
Ho Hum!
They have to pretend that they wouldnt have had to do more or less the same thing on budgets and cuts.
“thats the way to do it”
I think Harriet even denies that Jack is a man, dressing him in women’s clothes for the all-wimmin candidate election process he won.
Who and what should I support today?
Can I have me cock back?
Labour in meltdown, turning on each other. The union dinosaurs trying to prey on the weak Miliband. Tales of funding trouble. Ideological fault lines.
Oh goody! I’m lovin it!
Get TRex’s ‘Get it on’ on the mp player to match the mood of the dinosaur scrap!!
With McCluskey it is self first his members second and the rest of us third.
Ed should give him a punch on the nose.
I am a milk bottle.
Left on the shelf to go sour?
Like Ann Widdicombe.
Which vested interests are the most damaging? Is it the unions who fight for safer and better paid working positions or the bankers who’s interest is maximising profit often at our expense and gambling billions knowing we will ultimately foot the bill while they retire to monaco?
I live in Monaco and I have never committed a political act in my life.
Ah, but your son has! Many and oft, no wonder he’s registered visually impaired!
But he ain’t claiming money from the taxpayer which the taxpayer has to borrow in the first place.
That is my point
No-one actually ” lives ” in monaco. No wonder Grace Kelly went off her head.
‘safer and better paid working positions’
Sorry to be a bit picky but you missed out ‘for their members only !’
I think you will find that unions fight to export jobs out of the economy by making their members uneconomic and unproductive to employ.
While leftist government over taxation and regulation, makes relocation the only viable alternative to eventually going bust.
The left and the unions have destroyed more jobs in this country than any other force and all the diversity officers, five a day co-ordinators and wheelie bin inspectors in the world can’t, in the end, hide their dismal failure.
Yep. With a million quid rap[ed from the taxpayer over the past year alone you & that ruinous husband of yours can of course take the time on a Tuesday to ride horses.
The rest of us tax slaves have to work three times as hard for dwindling returns to keep you in the lap of luxury.
Don’t forget us pensioners and our pension fund that gordy sucked dry before he left office.
And the country`s gold reserves he sold off to Elizabeth Duke, at a knock down price.
Break your fucking neck you fat money grubbing bitch, is the dickhead still hiding in the coal shed?
Whilst you are out, will Gordon be sitting on his rocking horse?
I suspect gordy has evolved from that into a modern day scrooge sitting in his dreary study in kikrcaldy endlessly counting his ill gotten gains.
Which one’s the horse?
Ask Sir Edward du Cann ( deceased)
using the ‘intruder’ saddle perchance?
And I thought you had to ‘get on’ the horse to ride it…silly me!!!
This is a set up.
Miliband is suffering because the public perception is that he is a Union stooge.
This is a front to distance Miliband from his paymasters.
If Miliband gets into number 10 he will immediately revert to type – as will the other repenting sinner & renowned fiscal pyscho Ed Balls.
Agree. Milliband is a glove puppet.
What a vacuous post….you, we, they all know the money isn’t going to dry up, is it?
Seeing as the unions are no longer getting large wodges of “Training” money to launder back to the Labour party times could get hard.
Is that the so called ‘modernisation fund’? When did that get stopped? Must’ve missed the announcement.
Radio pravda is in full force this morning, another Tory free zone.
Can we expect an urgent ” Cobra” meeting of D.U.E.M.A

This may be the best time for Cameron to call a snap election. Labour are in disarray and the Eds are floundering. He may not get another opportunity this good. He should learn the lesson from Brown’s delicious cowardice in failing to call an election in 07. Brown will spend the rest of his days tormented by the knowledge that if he hadn’t bottled it in 07, he’d have won the election. Cameron should go for it while the Tories are still ahead in the polls and Labour are in the throes of another civil war.
Ironically, Cameron has made that illegal. He cannot call an election since his fixed terms bill became law last November.
The next election will be in 2015.
Unless he loses a vote of confidence, which is highly unlikely.
Why, would you trust the lib-dems?
Unless he ‘arranges’ to lose a confidence vote, thus enabling an early election.
..or tables a new Bill to repeal it. Then we would really see what the fibdems were made of!
Bugger! Damn veggies!! Try agaain…
er um says:
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
January 17, 2012 at 3:10 pm
..or tables a new Bill to repeeeel it. Then we would really see what the fibdems were made of!
This is all business as usual for Labour and accounts for their disastrous thirteen years in government. Things must be bad when they start parading the likes of Reeves, Cooper and Upchucka as potential leaders. Larry the cat has more political cred than this bunch of third raters.
Thank you. I quite agree. As prime minister I’ll be tough but fair. Now, where’s my tuna? Bring it to me now.
It’s been eaten by a tiger.
I`m a tiger.
Time for another re-launch ?
The thrusters must be getting a bit weak.
Get Dianne Fatbutt to blow into them.
I’ve tried — but they’re too small, it seems the Rabbi didn’t have his glasses on and was a bit heavy handed.
I’m a man of steel.
and grit (don’t forget that bit)_
I thought he was full of sh.t, not grit
and he likes a gig
Gig Young?
I thought grit was the stuff you find at the bottom of a bird cage. Then again, you could be right.
Of course this is a ruse designed so that Ed M can artificially “distance” himself from the coming Unite/UNISON strikes – a public vote winner for him – without having to condemn their actions in any public statement. Keep both sides happy. Ed M never said anything at the last day of action because he didn’t dare to risk a public image. He knows that the voting public and squeezed middle sector (as if he really cared) will not support these hurtful actions by the union bullies.
A man of steal more like, fleecing families to reward union cronies and workshy pilgrim scroungers
Forgive me for being slightly off topic but my colleagues and I are trying to come up with some ideas for new laws which we dont need or novel re interpretations of existing laws in order for us to create more work for ourselves and thus make loads of wonga. Any ideas ?
You should talk to bliar he was a master at creating new laws ( namely human rights act) to provide jobs for lawyers ( especially his wife who’s made £thousands from it)
I’m sure he’d have loads of ideas for more especially if you offered him a share of the profits. Very oriented to money is bliar.
Be sure and let me know if you come up with anything. My colleagues and I make our careers out of re inventing the wheel and depend on it to justify our existence and give us that special buzz of power and importance by adding to the statute book.
Of course we will and in return you could maybe fix me up with some contacts in and around Westminster as I am looking to enter Politics myself in the next few years. I am not particularly fussy which party I stand for as my debating skills and legal amorality enables me to argue both sides of the case with equal gusto. It just depends which party represents the best vehicle for me getting my hands on the levers of pwer.
Please do keep in touch.
You sound exactly like the kind of ambitious person we are always on the look out for. We will watch your Political career with interest. There is life after Politics you know.
Failing that, you could always right a column for us.
You could keep yourself and colleagues in funds for years if you simply went through the garbage introduced to the Statute Book over the past 13 years or so to get rid of it lock stock and barrel. Off you go now, lot’s to do to get that ball rolling.
here are two super ideas
1. Sink a few cruise ships
2. Introduce a charge of corporate homicide for PLC Company directors
Who are the most dangerous – captains of industry or captains of wayward cruuise liners?
I watched the Poseidon adventure last night, was`nt Shelley Winters FAT?!!
Because despite the fact that he is a fuckwit, he is not as much of a fuckwit as you Chuka!
To be fair Chucka has absolutely no business experience whatsoever and little experience of the real world so you cannot realistically expect him to know what he is talking about.
For people like Upchucka life is just one long committee meeting, the purpose of which is to stop anything productive ever being done.
Meetings, the practical alternative to work.
That’s the Labour movement in a nutshell, Loungelizard.
Lefties love nothing more than a good committee – sit round a big table, nice filter coffee, good quality biscuits, caterers deliver a finger buffet at lunchtime, everyone occasionally stands up to scrawl a lame buzzword on a flipchart (“pluralism”, something like that.)
After 4 or 5 hours (so you can go home early) you simply announce that – after long careful deliberation – the findings of the committee are that the Tories are to blame for everything.
Same again next month comrades? Nice one. Job done.
Clegg’s comment about workers having a share of ownership is not as wise as he makes out. A few companies operated share purchase scemes for their employees who loyally took them up to the exclusion of other saving.A classic example was Lloyds and a large number of branch staff lost their savings after the fiasco of the HBOS merger. I think the same thing happened to BT employees when its share price collapsed after the dotcom boom ten or so years ago.
So enjoyable seeing them preparing for handbags at dawn. Sadly there is little likelihood that the funding will stop. The left’s record of pouring money into lost causes for decades is without parallel. Apparently ‘it’s the right thing to do’.
Well said, Brother.
“Red” Len McCluskey should be put to work in a coal mine
As the canary.
He could be put to work as Salmond’s cheerleader for Scotch independence.
Oh let`s not start all that again, after last night!!!
Aaaah I get it now – Ed Balls can say that HE stood up to the Unions.
I answer to no man.
So you aren’t going on celebrity “who wants to be a millionaire” then.
She’s right…
Is Red Len a new DUEMA member?
McCluskey is a loser. If the unions are angry, Ed’s doing something right.
Why don’t Unite try and sell their Mansion in Esher for several million and put the money to good use ?
Up the workers!

“Modelled on a french chateau, the house sits in eight acres of tendered grounds just to the south west of London. ”
Nothing’s too good for Big Len and the union top brass.
Anyone for croquet?
I actually play croquet and i`m not posh at all.
‘Last night one Miliband insider dryly described it to Guido as “the best news he’d had all year”.
It does rather make you wonder what exactly the Labour party is for. Something most of us, left or right, have often asked ourselves.
You haven’t guessed yet? Try self enrichment.
Kerr-ching.
The Labour Party is for inadequates to play at being important. The vast majority do not have the qualities needed to be successful in life, so they huddle up incestuously and make a political theory out of Envy, Greed and Malice. CiF and the Staggers provide daily examples of the driving forces behind Socialism.
£60M for a Royal Yatch with a gong thrown in. Simps.
Murdoch with or without the red tops could raise this in a day.
Annual Yatch Day with collecting boxes outside Tescos could easilly raise annual running costs.
Telly tax alone would buy 53 new Royal Yachts.
The BBC would save a fortune if they stopped providing subtitles/interpretors for Kirsty Wark. Can ANYONE understand a word that comes out of that woman`s mouth?
Yes, very clearly.
Aye, ah do.
I am sure you can pick up one of those Sea France tubs for a fraction of the cost.
A lick of paint and everyone’s a winner.
No doubt thin gruel of comfort for Ed but still for the rest of
us intensely depressing that prominent Union boss can still
voice this stuff in 2012. Vague hope that retards with vocabulary
of 200 words were a thing of the past. No chance.
Just thought I’d give Red Ken’s messagespace a click on and and a quick click off seeing as it’s Dinosaur Day’!!
Who exactly does support Ed? Not the PLP, not the unions, not the grassroots, not the wider population (ie: those not on gyro).
Good question, I think his mother still likes him…..a bit.
David Cameron and most of the Tory Party – Ed represents their best chance of an outright majority in 2015
I would`nt bet on the lib-dems sticking around until 2015, the comfort of opposition and all that.
I’m backing Livingscum.
I think these liar/bore supporters should read Animal Farm as some are more equal than others…but…..problem…they were taught by the edukashon sytem and steered away be able to read. Elsewhere on a quiet news day….get a load of this

Soylent Green.
And what a good idea it is! I think you grotty little bed-blocking peasants should be turned into biccies for me and my chums to munch at elevensies.
Moving the elderly out of the homes they know is a very effective way of killing them off.
The real answer to this housing crisis of Grunt Schnapps’ is to reverse the immigration that’s been forced upon us.
Whole districts of British cities have been sublet for

Excuse me Mr. Louscrew. Most of the blecks around now were born in this cold damp little country, it would be too hot for them back on the plantations. Much better for them to stay here on benefits.
Clearly Big Mamma(ry) you haven’t yet ‘cottoned’ on to what we are talking about.
McCluskey is the archetypal trade union dinosaur – still seems to think it is 1974. His intervention is a boon for DUEMA
He’s a mere amateur. I achieved 500+ disputes in one year at Longbridge in the 1970′s. Alas since the Tories and the managements closed down our manfacturing sector we won’t see glorious actions like those again.
I bought one of your cars, it was rubbish and so are you – you`re still alive, are`nt you?

If it wasn’t for us BL would have been like BMW, and look what happened to them.
On the plus side, I can see the beautiful Cofton Park from the railway line now that ghastly factory that kept people in jobs has been razed to the ground. Thank you Derek Robinson…..we need more of you.
We’ll keep the Red Flag flying here Comrades
No, not the German one with the white disc and that funny black cross thing, that comes later.
Clearly the Unions have been taken out of context – obviously they want me to take over as Leader of their ….sorry the workers party. #Blackbusters
Sorry, we dont use blackleg workers.
Are you still allowed to say ‘black’ these days?
No, you RACIST!!
