Exclusive: Liam Fox Returns for Senior Trade Union Role
Guido hears that the Trade Union Reform Campaign will announce this afternoon that Liam Fox has accepted a senior role in the group. Having virtually gone to ground since his resignation, he will be joining ten or so other MPs on their Parliamentary Council. Set up by Tories, TURC* is campaigning for more transparency in the union movement and an end to Pilgrims. Developing…
*For the record Neo-Guido advises the group on a pro-bono basis about social media.
UPDATE: The full Parliamentary Council is: Chairman Aidan Burley with Caroline Dinenage, Karen Bradley, Fiona Bruce, Nigel Adams, Liam Fox, Stuart Andrew, Alec Shelbrooke, David Morris, Dominic Raab.
It seems so srange that after wrong doing they have the front to show thier faces in public again!
Can i have a “t” please Bob?
NO SHAME. Now you know where all your TAX goes. He would have to be given a job otherwise you never know what he really knows and its better paying him a wage than killing him. That Kelly thing was a disaster, even the farther in law thinks he was assasinated.
I suppose he can always advise on how NOT to get caught. Very astute move by the Political Fraudster Class.
Yeah, but he did get caught didn’t he?
If you want lessons on how not to get caught, just ask me. Boaz.
Like Gordon, you mean?
It’s *their* BTW, Billy.
“Has anyone seen Mike Hunt?”
Billy, just let go mate, you know it’s for the best.
Poor little chap
You’ve been posting first in this and recent threads. You are Billy Blowjob and I claim my £5.
The Bubble does not thrill me, but I can think of several names who could and should be on that list. Is this another of Disengaged Dave’s feints?
Was this announced on Fox News ?
Neo Guido = pro bono
Liam Fox = pro boner?
Is Foxy going to look into the activities of his own trade union, the BMA
The most pampered profession in this country.
Steady on old chap.
Barring the legal profession
Is he the hunted or the hunter?
I don’t know, I can’t remember my moniker.
butch or bitch ?
It’s hardly a super-position….
He probably likes a good gallop
When Ed said at pmqs “Let’s talk about young people”, I wish someone in the chamber had yelled “Where’s Hancock?”
Ed wants to claim that Cameron wants to take Britain back to the 1980s, too right – a period when Labour had ineffectual leaders who were out of office for a decade.
At PMQs Ed tells Parlament that the country is back to the 1980′s…that’d be when a Labour Opposition was led by a useless leader and had absolutely no chance of winning an election wouldn’t it Ed ?
I take it Adam W will be advising him.

Cameron had some good one liners today.
“He’s so incompetent, he can’t even do a u-turn properly”.
“It’s good to see the honourable gentleman here. I always tell my children there’s no need to visit the Natural History Museum to see a dinosaur, just come to the house at half past twelve”.
That reply to Dennis was a bit cruel. Why not call the Beast of Bolsover a “National Treasure” and be really cruel?
The missing link more like
Hang on Grumpy, Skinner called Cameron a tosser in the HOC not long ago, so fair’s fair!
Look up Churchill’s remarks on Ramsay Mac -the boneless wonder.
Dave is an expert at doing U turns young Teddy has to practice to get as good as Dave
On ‘Seen Elsewhere’ the bedwetters over at the Grauniad are collectively swallowing their tongues and foaming at the mouth over Postie Johnson’s reiteration that Labour has now embraced the T*ry cuts as the only credible economic plan.
It’s fucking hilarious.
‘That’s it – I’m voting green’.
‘I’ve had enough, I’m cancelling my union political levy’.
Dummies being spat out. Toy’s, blankets, b*ot*tl*es, bootees, bonnets, the whole fucking lot getting tossed out of the pram.
Utterly fucking hilarious.
It warms the cockles of my heart.
That’s why we call him Postman Prat. He was always useless with figures and that’s why he was my first choice for Shadow Chancellor.
Alan Johnson is one of the few MPs who have worked in the real world doing a real job
The other one stood down in 2010.
The only job he was truly suited for tbh.
He may have been employed as a postie but he didn’t walk the streets for long before taking up full time union duties. Can a “Pilgrim” be said to have a “proper job”?
Steaming open envelopes with a kettle looking for postal orders and birthday money is not a real job in the real world.
You don’t need to steam ‘em open. Just hold them up to a very strong light.
Look, they’re ENTITLED to be carried on productive peoples backs, after all they’re better than just the proles.

You can see how it must be totally melting what’s left of their brains. For the past 2 years they’ve been mindlessly parrotting ‘Too fast, too deep’ and ‘ideological cuts’ all egged on by Vacant Ned and Toxic Ned and Polly Fuckwit.
Now they find that, actually, the Labour party were just using them as – well mindless parrotting fuckwits – and that there really is no credible alternative to the T*ry ‘cuts’.
It is a little cruel to enjoy their grief and betrayal so much. Perhaps I shouldn’t laugh at what were clearly very stupid people to begin with finding they’ve been lead up the garden path. But then you do have to remember how condescending they were to anybody who tried to tell ‘em the facts in the past. How apparently it was all my fault if I couldn’t see how a crisis that had been caused by too much reckless borrowing was going to be cured by… even more reckless borrowing. Keynes, they contemptuously spat at me.
No. Fuck ‘em. They deserve to drown in their grief and betrayal for the egregious sin of blindly supporting the utter imbeciles who fucked the UK economy in the first place.
How’s that Hopey, Keynsey thing working out for you now you jackasses?
>You can see how it must be totally melting what’s left of their brains. For the past 2 years they’ve been mindlessly parrotting ‘Too fast, too deep’ and ‘ideological cuts’ all egged on by Vacant Ned and Toxic Ned and Polly Fuckwit.
The “green” credibility implosion from the AGW scam making itself obvious cannot be helping either.
The AWG scam has yet to penetrate their nuclear-bunker skulls.
Just as it is only when Ned Miliband, Ned Balls and Postie tell ‘em, in their own paper, that there is no alternative to T*ry cuts does a glimmer of reality flicker through the welding goggles of their mind so it will only dawn on them that AGW is a scam if Al Gore himself ‘fesses up.
‘Yeah, of course it’s a fucking scam. Did you never stop for one moment to question why a guy who professes to be worried about global warming travels everywhere in a Lear jet?’
He’s the L. Ron Hubbard of AGW.
And the dopey fuckers just refuse to see it.
There are alternatives to cuts, they just need to tax rent-seeking & stop taxing wealth creation, and bypass bureaucrats with the spending….
i.e. LVT and citizens dividend.
Indeed jgm
Their reactions are a joy to read.
You’d need a heart of stone not to laugh at them.
Since I’m banned from CiF for daring to challenge the ‘too fast, too deep’ idiocy and the imbeciles who were, up until last week, promoting it I am unable to post this handy guide to helping the jackasses get over their grief.
Perhaps some other concerned netizen could cross-post it.

The guardian does not realise that the ordinary taxpayer is fed up with endless stories about people suffering when some are better off than taxpayers, restricting benefits when the limit is the average wage is not a problem. The housing benefit goes to the landlord anyway, it should longer term bring rents down to more affordable levels. I would like to live in a islington but i cannot afford it, so tough.
Anyway whilst labour shovelled money at the public services, productivity did not rise in line with the amount put in. Most of it went to pay staff. Funny the left talks about money but not how hard individuals work or how efficient they are.
need new business cards
Didn’t catch PMQ’s today, but Radio 5 informed me (via John Pienaar) that Ed had a great day and roasted Cameron and that Cameron was on the defensive throughout the 30 minutes.
This will be interesting to watch when I get home.
As ever, the BBC were impartial in their coverage of the weekly joust between Ed “Saviour of man(and woman)kind and of the Trad Union Movement” Miliband and David “Evil Tory Boy Posh Ponce Old Etonian Baby-Murdering Flashman Bullingdon Club Milk-Snatcher” Cameron.
Our coverage seemed fair and impartial to me – it’s just that we can’t wait to get The Great Steersman back at the helm.
AND PAY YOUR TELLY TAX! – we’ve got expensive pension schemes to maintain!
It only needs to be ‘fair and impartial’ across the ‘range of their output’.
So if they lead with ‘Ned Miliband is Brilliant’ on the 9 O’clock news they will ‘balance’ that with a headline ‘David Cameron is Not Totally Shit’ somewhere on the web. Nested in about 12 sub-directories under ‘Science and Technology’ most likely.
Thanks to the unique way in which they’re funded.
Who would have thought that an organisation funded by extortion rather than willing payees would gradually get over-run with marxists?
Us?
Ed was made to look stupid again. the BBC are now losing credibility. If it was not for a few good programmes. If the writer of Dr Who and Sherlock unexpectidly dies they will be buggered (mark gatiss)
And, Steven ‘no PC box left unticked’ Moffat,
Mostly gay at the BBC so expect moast are buggered anyway
I read* somewhere that the guys at the BBC anaesthetise each other’s bumholes by rubbing copious quantities of 75% pure cocaine into that naughty part of their anatomies before rogering each other senseless.

*Wikipedia are on strike today.
*Yeah, I know. I read it last week or last year, I think.

For the strike breakers….
SCAB!!!
Ed gave yet another Strong, Steely and Determined performance at PMQ’s today. The way he kept repeating statistics that Cammo either agreed with or demolished as false was redolent of the man at his best. The manner in which he spun round in ever-decreasing circles, fenced in by the contradictory policy statements of the Shallow Cabinet, was an indicator of Ed’s unique personal qualities. There are those who say that Ed has trouble attracting the attention of his reflection in the shaving mirror. I say, “Poo to you with knobs on!” There can be no longer any doubt that Ed is the man to lead Labour into the Glorious Summer of 2015. DUEMA!
Fiona Bruce? The corker off the telly?
Your piccy says it all Guido!
No need for expensive tribunals / boards / inquiries / reports and all the associated claptrap!
Just line the fuckas up and ping them with a multibarrel 50 calibre peashooter!
Why does Livingscum’s advert show Gina wotzername nicking stuff from that bloke’s bag ?
The unions exist to negotiate the price of labour for labour and capital. They are part of the capitalist machinery and, for all their ‘cloth cap’ phrases, union bosses make a mint from their privaleged role.
We need unions that respond to workers’ demands, resist hierarchies and oppose full-time officials who exist to keep workers from getting above themselves.
Union leaders, Labour politicians, full time officials,,,all in the same camp as the Tories, bosses and holders of capital.
Kick out the bosses – union, business or political now!
I didn’t get to watch PMQ’s today as I have spent most of the early afternoon watching old editions of Blackbusters.

Your taking my comments out of context……
The classy thing is to do charity work quietly and without fanfare. It’s vulgar to be always talking about which charities you’re helping.
Is she helping them with cash?
Thought not.
She is helping them by asking other people to give them money.
She obviously hasn’t been ignoring Gordon completely.
She donated a brick in a bag.
That’s something to build on.
(Wonder where McMong used to nick the bricks from ?)
But wasn’t the £million that Gordon squirelled away last year supposed to be for charity?
Hahahahaha. Not at all.
You see after the contributions to the director’s pension funds and director’s salaries and expenses and ‘investments’ there really wasn’t much money left over for any charitable doing at all.
It’s the same scam as Blair.
You mean Gordon is enriching himself and avoiding Taxation by investing in his company?
Not at all. He’ll be investing in worthy projects like the DfiD. Projects that make a return on capital invested so that he can invest in more worthy projects. After the directors salaries, pension contributions and expenses have been deducted naturally.
I see.
And her unique qualifier for presuming to ask folk to donate their money is that she is married to and imbecile who destroyed the UK economy?
I really don’t get how this charity stuff works. I remember reading how rich people like Carnegie and Ford and Rockefeller and folk like that used to amass a fortune and then set up a charity to give it all away to worthy causes.
This Brown woman seems to of the predator class that has sprung up in order to ‘administer’ all this charitable giving. ‘Administration’ as they ap*p*ear in the accounts. As in ’90% of charitable donations wind up in the pockets of administrators and only 10% in the hands of those the donation was intended to help’.
Socialists work on the “other people’s money” principle, never their own.

Irony overload
Liam Fox is just the man to campaign for more transparency and cronyism; is Adam Werrity on the case too as a special advisor / executive relief?
btw glad to see Neo Guido complicit in helping in Liam’s reputational rehabilitation; shame he couldn’t have advised the TURC what a total credibility free zone Dr Fox has become and what a liability he’s going to be for them.
IMF want’s an other £19bn off us. Why the fuck should we switch on our money printing presses because the German’s wont?
Germans blame inflation for war – the fuck it was – it was fucking Germans wanting to overrun Europe – just as they are trying to do via the backdoor now (with the French providing the KY in the hope that their usual collaboration will buy preferred treatment).
Indeed, but you also need to look at where the funding for the German war machine came from. You won’t find that mentioned in the mainstream documentaries.
American loans mostly.
Up until about 1936 when the German’s became a bad risk.
After that it was nationalisation,fierce exchange controls, closing down the private sector,shrinking consumer goods and plain robbery from the people.
What, no Louise Mensch? Doesnt this have the kudos or profile to suit her?
Come on Guido! How can that be the full list when Adam Werrity isn’t mentioned? Are we to believe that Liam has been cured of the sin of Werrity?
I enjoyed the reading the very open/honest “declaration of interests” in the post. It’s quite refreshing that you’ve declared it straight away.
(That isn’t sarcastic)
For a skinny jock, that Fiona Bruce is quite fit – is that that attraction?
This person (if I can call him that) is a poor excuse of a Minister and an even poorer excuse of a human being.
if you should count him as one of your friends I truly pity you.
Is he still shagging (or being shagged by) Werrity?
Chaired by Aidan Burley? Will they all be wearing SS Uniforms or will they just save revealing their real ‘Libertarian’ credentials until Final Victory?
Brilliant and about time. Time for the self-serving, socialist parasites to see the error of their ways.
Shouldn’t Fiona “the arse” Bruce be reporting the news, not making it?
The phrase “salon des refuses” springs irresistibly to mind.
