Labour Chuka Spanner in Works
Credit where credit is due: Chuka may not be so hot on polling, but he has ruined Vince Cable’s week. The Social Market Foundation website has a heavy trail for Cable’s speech tomorrow lunchtime on reforming executive pay. So heavy that you might wonder why such an announcement was not being made to Parliament first. Well now it will have to be, as Cable’s shadow has been granted an Urgent Question forcing the Business Secretary to bring the announcement forward to this afternoon and give it to the proper audience – parliament. There goes the grid…
TBH ministers should annouce everything to the house first, fed up with reading about it a few days before in the papers/blogs.
I agree but I just don’t trust that Chuka Ummna one little bit, looks dead shifty, as if he might have an offshore account.
Agreed!
He’s a creepy narcissist.
I had no idea i was so well known.
Chucka is seriously out of his depth.
he has admitted it by saying he is flabbergasted.
Frankly this is a job for the Squeaker. He should throw his weight around a little more and put a few Cabinet Ministers in the Tower for a couple of days for contempt.
The leaking of policies would soon stop.
.
If you work in a palace then you are going to think that you are royalty.

Normal ppl work in normal
places.
Guido, you really seem to have thing about Chuka.
Are you saying that he has no place in public life?
He seems well educated and comes from a “good” family.
What has he done to annoy you?
That anything like a crap soozet.
Fair play him for the tactic – it should be used more when the PR machine “trails” policy in this way.
There’s something about Chukk that’s not quite right.
Yuk! Gives me the shivers, and not in a good way.
He’s what we used to call a Smarmy Get.
I think that the term “Chuka spanner in the works” is a very appropriate sobriet for this distinctly creepy bovver boy. I will use it in the future.
The Limp Dims seem to have adopted McDooms practice to speak to others before Parliament. St Vince of the Broom Cupboard should be severely reprimanded.
If you are ever unfortunate enough to meet someone who has worked for a Labour think tank or carried a bag for a Labour MP, you will find that they all have the same smug, condescending manner as Chuka.
All proficient in parroting pointy headed Labour doctrine, but woeful on having any connection to the real-world.
Boom Chuka Boom Chuka Boom Chuka

& etc
Chuka
Silly name
Silly boy
‘Spanner’ is an ideal name for him, more acceptable than ‘Spear’.
‘Spanner’ is an ideal name for him, more acceptable than ‘Spe@r’.
Spanner is a girl’s name. We used to have one lass in Accounts who we called “Spanner”.
Every time I looked at her, me nuts would tighten.
At one time it would be acceptable parlance to talk about putting uppity K****rs in their place, but I suppose not appropriate in these days of socialist bigotry and racism.
Doddery old fool Cable probably forgot he hadn’t told Parliament
Who gives a fuck?
Vince has been very quiet recently, but like quite a few of the Hunts in The Commons he remained quiet when Mayo and Simpson wrecked Marconi.
But asking MPs to reform pay is a bit like encouraging a drunk to run an office licence.
There’s a golden opportunity waiting for Cameron if he would simply put forward a reduction of (say) 15% in an MP’s pay. Just to show that ‘we’re all in this together’.
It’s a bit tough to ask anybody to take a pay freeze or a pay cut if you’re not willing to take one yourself.
The reason he doesn’t is not because this would get voted down by Labour (although it would) but that he can’t guarantee enough Tory and Liberal MPs would support it either. Self-serving bastards that they are.
“Off-licence” John? What’s wrong with a pub
Of course you have a point there, Cammers and Gideon could take a 15% paycut also expenses of MPs and minsters’ should be reduced (things like mileage, housing or rental) or made into allowances (then they would be taxed) then we will be “all in it together” BUT do you really think the little darlings would accept it, personally I think NOT! If you did reduce their pay you could then put on a performance bonus if they get the country out of the mire
Why only 15% ? If they believe, that an unemployed job-seeker can live on 67.50 a week for a finite period,why should they get any more?
Alternatively why is their pay not capped at 26K as they wish to do with benefits? After all they get subsidised meals,state sponsored accommodation and other very generous expenses. Plus incredible holiday entitlements and the use of St Thomas’ hospital as effectively their own private hospital.
They do not need 60k+ salaries as well,or redundancy payments when the electorate vote them out.
His voracious appetite for publicity and relentless ambition will catch him
out as everyone knows he’s a bit thick.
and as for Chukka…
Are we really being fleeced for £1200 a time for multi millionaire Chuka’s suits?
Surely a multi millionaire like him can show some understanding of public finances & set an example?
Allowances paid to UK Politicians are entirely justified and justifiable. Take my case for example, I do extremely important work in eastern Europe and if I did not dress with some dignity, people would not take me seriously. How do you think the people of Moscow, Kiev, Odessa, Riga etc would treat me if I dressed like a Tramp? Jahbulon.
He’s dead cheap, mine cost £2000 a piece. A whole one is sheer extravagance.
Huhne Charges Expected Within Weeks
I’m getting sick of waiting.
He looks well dodgy to me. Is he a dealer?
Cable should be sacked on the grounds that it is arguably inappropriate to have a grumpy old Marxist as a business sectretary.
He had a good Grounding as a Labour Councillor in Glasgow!……Back in those days he was more likely to be left a footer rather than a left winger!
Looking at the photo of Vince & Upchucka the question that springs to mind is, doesn’t anyone have hair anymore?
No. And from what I hear no-one’s got breasts any more either.
What? Not even Dave Cameron?
Well you could allow him to have breasts, B’Liar certainly has judging from past photos
That’s odd. When Labour was in government, there were plenty of occasions when they didn’t worry about announcing stuff in Parliament first.
That’s how they’re so well-placed to spot when somebody else is trying to pull the same stunt.
Aye, like that war in Iraq they agreed wiv Dubya.
Labour frequently didn’t worry about announcing some stuff to anyone at all-at all. Just looked for good days to bury bad news.
£1500 suits you sir!
He can pay for his own suits. All style and no substance.
Where do you think he gets his ties and shirts from?
C&A?
Shame that you were granted your freedom boy
Well bully for u u twat
The poison dwarf speaker has spoken.
My gimp Jack(ie) made an honest mistake. Honest!
Kin L. Vince sounds rattled unprepared and doddery. Not his finest hour, poor sod.
OAP voice.
Cable on his feet now!……..”we have a package of powers..transparancy,consultancy,performance,reports,policy,sanctions,divercity,code,progress,conduct,planning,renumeration,rewards,failure,clawback,concluding…….tax will increase to 99.5% on all renumeration above £100,000!
Labour will not oppose a benefits cap but we disagree with it. We have decided that our new policy paradigm for 2012 will be:
Keep reading from a blank sheet of paper.
labour is in abing here if it does not oppose a benefits cap or explian what it will put in its place, then taxpayers of this country will think its keen on continuing to splash money away.
If it does then its core vote will leave it.
One nil to the tories
Labour oppose the way the benefits cap works, while their fuhrer Tony Bliar is disclosed today as only paying tax of £315,000 on £12 million revenue for 2011.
Nothing on BBC Pravda Bring Back Communism of course and I am sure the Coalition Government will miss yet another wonderful open goal.
Inept and pathetic opposition politics at best.
best leave constructive opposition to the Scottish Nationalists
Forgot to mention that Tony Blair’s financial accounts have at least a black hole of £5 million and as it is proves that he is the most expensive UK ex MP on record. Same story with the UK’s accounts in his and Broon’s time.
Good for Umunna.
The Speaker needs to grow a set of balls and haul errant Ministers to the Commons if they dont make their announcements in the Commons.
I’m fucking sick to the back teeth of spin
That’s a thought, but before it will happen we need a Squeaker with more than a thimbleful of gravitas who commands respect throughout the country and does not have a slapper for a wife.
Moribund should really sort Chuka out.
not only has he got a daft name he has some pretty daft ideas.
he has just been saying that Union officials should be on PLC remuneration committees.
The only difference this would make would be an extra mouth in the feeding trough. you vote this through and you will be alright too.
simply insist that all nominee held shareholdings should lead to beneficiaries receiving voting ballot papers direct through the Internet if requested.
This would go down a bundle in some boardrooms although the reality is that the City of London largely control this aspect of things in the first place.
The City are doing an excellent job for us all and that is why Dave does all he can to protect their interests.
Maybe Chuck will keep his gob shut in future, because even the dumb arse Cable got the better of him.
Chuck.’ bankers, fat cats, pay’ blah, blah, blah…’Not far enough’, blah, blah, blah’.
Cable,’Thirteen years’!'Where the fcuk were your lot’! ‘I’ll take no lectures from your side’.
Love it!!
Chukkie is obviously far too used to staring at himself in the mirror, and just getting adoring gazes and agreement.
I thought Chuka was bad but having cast my eyes over what Dave is proposing to protect us all I have to laugh.
if FTSE goes up 10% and I am a CEO of a FTSE listed company which has gone up say 5% during the same period there is absolutely nothing to prevent me getting a 10% plus pay rise although my performance should have got me the sack.
this has always been the joke in the City and Dave wants to perpetuate it.
another trick is the CEO with a wife who runs a recruitment or other related agency.
I leave it to you to think how this one plays out but I tell you Dave and his mate’s prefer to remain silent.
If Rednapp has a good brief the case against him will be thrown out within a week with the good old taxpayer saddled with costs.
Your money is not save with either Chuka or Dave around.
