MacShane’s Brass Neck

When he’s not fibbing on Twitter, Denis MacShane is sounding off in the House. Take yesterday’s gem of an intervention during DCLG Questions:

“Frankly it’s not good enough because the department is not publishing spending between 50p and £500 and that is where on credit cards and other areas a lot of things go wrong, so can we actually have some transparency in this wretched department instead of the cover-up they are currently practising?”

Not only did MacShane’s facts “go wrong” – credit card spending under £500 is published, but this is from a man under police investigation for his dubious use of public money and the subsequent “cover-up”. Scotland Yard are still looking into those “wretched”  invoices, laptops and that garage. Labour have withdrawn the whip from MacShane, yet he still insists on hanging around on their benches like a bad smell.

Time for someone to have a quiet word…

        Wasting money and destroying value is in Labour’s DNA, it’s what they do. Saying he’s like a bad smell doesn’t work because they all smell the same.

        Handycock No1 Trougher in Parliament says:

        I can’t understand what all the fuss is about on MP’s expenses. I refused to publish my expenses, when all the other local MP’s published their’s with the local press. I was just too busy to do it. I refused to answer Freedom of Information requests on why I had been paying my semi literate wife £20,000 a year, as an occasional case worker, when she was doing nothing. And the nosy constituents of mine who tried to find out what I was up to, had the police set on them by me. Dennis should take a leaf out of my book.

      A quiet word with McShite? When I heard his b/s on DFID (“we are all citizens of the world…”, and I thought I was HM’s subject) I would have rung his brass neck if it had been within reach.

    Terrible But True says:

    Time for him to be ‘interviewed’ on this from the Breakfast sofa to Newsnight to Marr, where the most a blatant fact malfunction will get is a ‘Hmn, hmn’ from the BBC’s finest inquisitors.

    Louise Mensch was not so lucky with Paxman a few days ago, when he brought the whole show to a screeching halt to insist she explain full context to a claim.

    Quiet right, too. Though a little ‘inconsistent’ perhaps. Guess that’s what they mean by ‘unique’ in what they do and how allowed to get away with it.

    Yet his Twitter bio claims he is the “Labour MP for Rotherham”. How can this be when Labour have disassociated themselves from the fraudster.

    McShane is a foreign criminal that has preyed upon the English taxpayer enough.

    If he is ever charged under the Theft Act 1968 he should be stripped of his ill gotten British citizenship & deported back to whichever ex communist shite hole he crawled out of.

      Not new news Gypsy but I hear he is a lying,useless,crafty,devious,not-to-be trusted piece of work & that many people are hoping the CPS prosecute him,that he is found guilty,gets a long prison sentence & is removed from public office.
      Apart from that I have heard no other news.

    I hate the Olympic Committee says:

    Anyone interested in the nasty and incompetent doings of Lord Coe and the Olympic committee may be interested in this issue. They are seeking planning permission at the very last minute to despoil one of the last bits of genuinely green belt land in the East of London, supposed to be kept pristine for eternity, despite there being several very suitable brownfield sites and existing unused Walthamstow stadium available as alternatives:

    Stop the Troughers says:

    Lord Mandelson, the former Labour minister, has avoided having to disclose a list of his business clients under new rules intended to improve transparency in the House of Lords.

    Peers are now under an obligation to publish the precise source of their pay if they are directors of public or private companies, as part of a new drive to tighten up disclosure of business interests.

    Lord Mandelson was expected to publish a list of his clients at his advisory firm, Global Counsel, which was previously registered as a “Category 1” directorship of a public or private company.

    However, he has re-labelled his business interest as “remunerated employment”, meaning he no longer has to provide this detailed information.

    -This is surely worthy of investigation Guido.

    DM has a letter published in today’s Times (http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/opinion/letters/article3303434.ece for those with access behind the Murdoch paywall). He bangs on about how tough the life of an MP is having to sit for 149 days a year and deal with mountains of spam, as well as filling out forms to reclaim the cost of buying paperclips. So now we know.
