The Exchange of Letters
Dear David,
This letter is to submit with much regret my resignation as Energy and Climate Change Secretary. I intend to mount a robust defence against the charges brought against me, and I have concluded that it would be distracting both to that effort and to my official duties if I were to continue in office.
It has been an honour to negotiate and then serve in the first coalition government of modern times which has substantial achievements both in reducing the economic dangers faced by our country, and in making progress with policies to tackle climate change and provide energy security. Internationally, we have helped to build a coalition of ambitious countries in Europe and beyond to put the United Nations process back on track.
It has been a privilege to be a minister in the coalition government, and I wish the administration every success with the environmental and economic challenges that lie ahead.
Best wishes
Chris Huhne
Dear Chris,
Thank you for your letter informing me of your decision to resign from the Government. I believe you have made the right decision under the circumstances.
You have made a very significant contribution to the Government, of which you can be justly proud.You were a member of the team which negotiated the formation of the Coalition Government between the Conservative Party and the Liberal Democrats in those crucial days after the General Election, with our shared commitment to come together as two distinct political parties and govern in the national interest.
As Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, you have led the Government’s efforts to live up to its responsibility to tackle climate change with great passion and distinction. You played a key role in securing the progress made at the Cancun and Durban summits, and I pay tribute to the leadership you showed at both. You have been determined to deliver on our pledge that this should be the greenest Government ever, recognising that cutting carbon emissions is not a luxury but a necessity. And you have relentlessly championed green growth.
Thank you too for the important contribution you have made as a member of the National Security Council since its inception, not only on security of our energy supply, but also in our discussions on Afghanistan, and during the Libya campaign.
Like the Deputy Prime Minister, I am sorry to see you leave the Government under these circumstances and wish you well for the future.
Fuck off Hunt!
See, the tories are just as eco-insane as the libdums. Possibly because half of them are pocketing the subsidies.
Help us United Kingdom Independence Party, you’re our only hope.
Dear Chris
You are a grave liability and thank heaven I talked Starmer into getting rid of you.
Clegg next.
Yours etc.
D. Cameron
PS Hahahahahahahahaha!
Dear Nick,
I’ll be back.
and you’ll be sorry.
Love Chris
Why congratulations
This article in today’s Telegraph says it all really:

I like Chris. I am alone then?
No, Handycock, you aren’t. The moron Mark Pack likes him, too.
THIS BASTARD IS GETTING £17,200 PAYOFF FOR LEAVING THE CABINET.
WTF is going on ?
Dear Chris ,
Erm … please don’t bully me — again !!- or I will refuse to cook your afternoon crumpets on the common room brazier .
Your ( erstwhile ) fag , Nick
the usual insincere bollocks from both of them
I am going to Kill my Farther for not paying for my education that would have secured my further education at the best Universities so some one would tell me I am special and that I can lord it over the masses and most importantly when I come to the conclusion that I am a complete Tw-t, and that non of my contemparies have a clue what we are doing we the elite could support the whole Sh-t system by lying, frauding. Chickens coming home to roost
Are you not close?
What a nauseating arse crawling reply from Cameroon. All in it together girls! One of these days we’ll see a letter that says “Serves you bloody well right. Now effoff”.
Like it.
Just shows what a bunch of two-faced bastards the politicos of the coalition are. All saying how Huhne will be missed and what a great job he’s done. Clegg even went so far as to consider him a friend! I wondered if they were referring to them same backstabbing, dishonest, devious bastard who has been leaking and planting embarrassing stories about them to the media. It seems,indeed they are.
They are either complete and utter liars themselves or incredibly stupid. Probably both, if truth be known.
The giveaway is this: “Internationally, we have helped to build a coalition of ambitious countries in Europe and beyond to put the United Nations process back on track.”
This line is redundant from a resignation letter. So what is the point of putting it there? To send “a message”.
The vile toad/y serves the unelected, corrupted and corrupting UNO and its agendas – we knew that already. Part of it then is to tell people just how he serves the UNO – by putting it above his constituents.
The other part is more intriguing, as it is far from obvious that “a coalition of ambitious countries in Europe” has been/is being built, even in view of Disengaged Dave’s veto stunt. It would of course be entirely in character to try to smear Cameron in his resignation letter. But it also asks the public “Are you really sure Dave’s not also fully in on this UNO power grab?”
You’re correct, not a word from Mr Huhne about serving the people who pay his wages, not even about the service to his constituents. But I suspect we are the last people to whom he, or any of the 650 parasites for that matter, give any thought.
agree 100% UKIP 4 the win
Let’s give the England captaincy to Chris Huhne. His appointment would double the number of brain cells in the entire England team overnight.
About time too, this p@isonous little sh1t should have resigned months ago. Now we just have to suffer the increased energy bills he caused.
Apparently Huhne is German for chicken.
About fucking time…TAXI FOR HUHNE?
What a Huhne…
There will be no sing off its straight to the public vote
A niell tweets that V Cable and Cleggs wife may be called because Vicky Price confided in them. Where would that leave Clegg?
Eton really equips its lads to say “fuck off and die you pleb”in such a nice way.
If only others could be so refined.
“Fuck off Huhne!”
+1000
A pair of lying bastards
Neither of those letters is sincere.
you know, up to the election I thought Dave was only pretending to be a libdem. He might have meant all that!
Never before in human history, has so much bollocks been written in two letters, by two men.
That’s the problem. Cameron’s probably is sincere… He’s so clueless it’s scary! He actually still believes that 380 ppm of carbon — a trace gas — in the atmosphere cause the climate change.
Come on Guido, nail the head man, we know you can do it.
WELL DONE GUIDO!!!!
Have a good one!
Yes…my TV appearance was absolutely vital. A press release would not have been enough in the circumstances. Now…what did I do with Simon Cowell’s mobile number?
OMG! I’ve been moderated
Ni mind chuck it’s upt’im it ‘is blog if it gives ‘im satisfaction so be it
Keir, If you came here regularly for what has been recommended as bedtime reading for you for ages, you would have known that little green veggies are well beyond the pale.
Great opportunity to merge Energy and Transport and add in Communications which has been lost in the Ministry of Fun (DCMS) to create an “Infrastructure Ministry” to help pull together the private investment we need (including from overseas sovereign wealth funds) to do as our ancestors did and use recession as an opportunity to get better quality at lower cost when building for the future.
Sorry – we are not supposed to make serious political points on Order.Order.
Oh goody, I love these mergers. Like Revenue and Customs, didn’t that work well?
you mean gamble on another property bubble?
Chris Huhne has been charged with perverting the course of justice,
Police say they know his wife couldn’t have been driving due to the fact the car was travelling in a straight line.
all roundabouts were negotiated without a hitch
this is an outbreak of lying they are all at it
Onwards & upwards Guido! Now, about Twatson, snotty McShame etc…. come on, no time to be resting on your laurels!
Maybe now we can get sensible policies about energy implemented.
Not a chance. There’s good tax money in keeping the fear of co2 turned up to the max.
The windmillmeister is dead, long live the windmillmeister, whoever he is.
Listen dear chap, I don’t get billions in subsidy from little plebs every year for doing nothing, well actually I do but that’s between me and my lovely green lobby chums, now pay up.
Director of Public Prosecutions Keir Starmer has just announced that Guido Fawkes will be charged with perverting the course of justice by taking Vicky Pryce’s Nectar Points
The Director of Public Prosecutions announces he will be going after Guido for a breach of an arcane 1668 statute forbidding drinking Alcohol for breakfast. It carries a maximum sentence of being hung drawn and quartered
Wouldn’t ‘fuck off you’re not wanted’ suffice.
As much as I loathe Huhne, and as much as I love Guido, this mornings posts are a tad too ‘lynch mob’. His Grace has wise words, as ever:
http://archbishop-cranmer.blogspot.com/2012/02/chris-huhne-is-innocent.html
Guilty as charged take him down.
Sorry mate, do you think Huhne would consider a Tory “innocent until proved guilty” if they were charged with a criminal offence? Of course he wouldn’t. Huhne would be all over the media like a rash tarring all the Conservative Party as criminals in order to make political capital out of the situation. He4′s probably be leaking incriminating document to the media in order to prejudice the case.
Huhne doesn’t deserve the considerations normally given to other people.
Hell hath no fury eh? I’d better watch my back!
I cannot stand the man. I hope he never returns. He is just what we get now in politics untrustworthy with no standards.
For once it seems justice may be served.
This is exactly the rsult that was needed.
Well done Guido. Now go get the rest of the lying troughers.
Tonight I drink to you and to justice.
Just reread that and noticed I missed an “e” in result.
I should never drop an “e”
Y?
The BBC, yet more opinions and less facts. Norman Smith makes it up as he goes along. Huhne for BBC Director General.
Unlike Toenails who used to ask Laura Kunnesburg what to say.
Will he get the same cosy cell as Archer in HMP Ford??
Let’s hope the tax payer will not be paying for his defence team!
That would have to be some defence. Prehaps he could get a jury from Broadmore Security hospital for the criminally insane he might stand a chance.I can’t think of any other defence he could mount. Its a straight his word against hers, case,and the rumour is she is going to cop a plea.Bye Bye Huhne.
Climate Change!
Do these people not follow what is really going on?
Man made climate change- surely someone in Government has to realise that the game is up?
Vote UKIP – nuclear power & no more useless subsidised solar & wind frauds.
DOPEY SOPHIE YOU MAY GO (and boil your addled head).
Still panicking?
Bless.
Of course they know what’s going on, me and my German and Chinese pals are making billions out of this scam.
It is important that you understand, crooked politicians are in on it too. Now pay up or my smart meter will disconnect you, remotely.
Oh please Sir – no Sir – not a disconnect!
I plead for mercy . mercy – mercy – oh sir please sir I’ll do anything – anything you want!
Creep!
Put a jumper on and get some firewood in. Worked very well for all our ancestors before some clown invented/discovered electricity. Then chuck another shrimp on the barbie..
All together ! “That’s the sound of a Huhne , Working on a chain gang ”
I’ll try again !
Or this.
And which nation would that be (Greece, Spain, Portugal …)?
And who’s going to take any notice?
And why nick a Conservative concept?
The EU of course.
Miliband? I’ve heard that name before, somewhere …
Huhne finally pays the Pryce….
Like it.
and thanks for all the fish
You gotta pay the price !
And somehow guido tries to take the credit
pretty feeble, he’s just been covering the story like so many others.
Shhh – let him revel in his inflated sense of self-importance.
Shhh – let him revel in his inflated sense of self-importance.
Snap!
Christ on a bike, jimmy and TwAT having multiple personality conversations now. Do you even begin to comprehend how idiotic you look?
Perhaps him and his odious wife could borrow the shield of justice and sword of truth from the liar jonathon atkin.
I am leaving the Governement to spend more time with my lawyers. I also have an interesting offer from the BBC to become the new face of Stig!
Some say he ditched his wife to marry a bull dyke and he gets terrible ezcema on his helmet…
All we know is he’s now called the Stig.
Oh, and I almost forgot– take him outside and shoot him!
Actually he’s going to spend more time with his property portfolio and his doxy.
I think this calls for a few pints of Top Totty.
What is everybody celebrating for?
This is a terrible day for politics.
It is a disgrace that an MP, a minister even, a Liberal Democrat planet saver, should not be able to distribute his points in any way that he should see fit…
Even more so if it means the return of the Law-breaker Law.
One con out, one con in.
Harman, Kerry, faux labour feministas why didin’t you do anything about Top Totty in 2007?
http://www.slatersales.co.uk/hofc/pages/7_jpg.htm
Funny how David Kidney (Labour) promoted the stuff then.
So according to Dave Chris Huhne can be proud of his record in Government.
An extra million people are without jobs we are neither in nor out of Europe and face financial meltdown.
What fucking planet is he living on?
I don’t know what the word is for saying someone can be proud of their record in government when you don’t mean a word of it.
I think Huhne holds the record as the most hated member of …..
You complete the sentence with whatever you want to.
Him speeeeek with fawked tung
Electricity payers heave an enormous sigh of collective relief. Bad news for the LibDems is good news for OAPs saved from a grisly end of hypothermia this winter.
Don’t count on it, there are a lot of important people making a hell of a lot of subsidy money out of the green lobby. Thankfully we get paid huge amounts for doing nothing, especially when it’s too windy or freezing cold.
How does one get to be “important” ? Gissa clue.
F*cking NR – honestly what a c**t:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-16870628
Just because you are a Government minister dosnt mean you can change the climate. The sun changes the climate-end of.
Stop wasting our taxes and how much electricity do these stupid windmills use in cold weather to be kept turning so they dont freeze up because ther is no sodding wind blowing.
Sodding freezing at the moment and there’s not a breath of wind. Useless eyesore costly windmills.
Here we go again pe@ce is an illegal word.
Well, pe@ce off.
Hi Yoko. How’s that nukey floody thingy going for you then?
The CPS has taken down it’s sentencing guidelines for perverting the course cof justice. Odd that.
http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/s_to_u/sentencing_manual/perverting_the_course_of_justice/
The B
The belgrano headline sums this up – “GOTCHA”
Hehehehehehe…
A good day to bury bad Huhne.
Alive, in a coffin half-full of oil.
Dear Chris,
You are a complete moron and cretin and I have serious reservations about your Climate Change credentials and the manner in which you are acting which will see the lights go out all over the UK.
This charge gives me the opportunityy to ditch you without any rancour from your useless stablemates. So sayanara, enjoy your bitch time whilst incarcerated, but don’t expect to come back.
Oh, by the way, Ken’s paln to shorten the time that criminal records stand on file is a lost cause, there will be no changes. There will be changes at the House though and MP’s found guilty in criminal cases will lose all benefits and pension rights. Enjoy.
Yours,
Dave.

Is Labour dim? This started with an allegation to the police from a labour MP. Surely Huhne causing trouble and being disliked inside gov is better than being out of gov. Is this another Red ED own goal!
15 years after Labour’s 1997 victory, they’ve finally done some good.
Oh for fucks sake the BBC are acting like the queen has died. Fuck off you BBC mongs, Huhne is a shit a first class leftist shit.
How true.
He was very popular with Newsnight. They’ll probably give him a full-time job as Chief Critic of the Coalition as soon as he’s set up a company to launder his salary.
Oh you’re here are you? Haven’t you trolled enough blogs with your split personality rubbish: Broxted/Haslam/Reihill/McEgan ad nauseum?
Pardon? What’s troubling you officer?
PC Dim is very cross because he doen’s know the difference between a museum and ad nauseam.
As if we’d dance on Chris Huhne’s grave.
Laws out. Huhne out. Only one more to go
I’m not sharing a cell with a shit like him!
OMG he’d bore you to death in under an hour.
Oh he’s resigned1 I’m so disappointed I had hoped to see dave sack him. He deserved no less.
The term resign in these circumstances means he has actually been sacked.
All the available evidence, including the new material, has now been carefully considered by the CPS and we have concluded that there is sufficient evidence to bring criminal charges against Mr Huhne and Ms Pryce for perverting the course of justice.
The essence of the charges is that between March and May 2003, Mr Huhne, having allegedly committed a speeding offence, falsely informed the investigating authorities that Ms Pryce had been the driver of the vehicle in question, and she falsely accepted that she was the driver.
Accordingly, summonses against both Mr Huhne and Ms Pryce have been obtained from Westminster Magistrates Court and those summonses will now be served on them. They are due to appear in court on 16 February this year.
http://www.cps.gov.uk/news/press_statements/cps_statement_on_huhne_and_pryce/index.html
fucking hell it’s bum bandit city on the BBC today.
To be fair to the BBC, they’d be hard pushed to find any heterosexuals or women in the LibDems.
When are you up before the beak Guido or have they committed you to public transport, you were very quiet about it.
Jeez, the bint on the MatureDating advert looks like one of Huhne’s exes!
According to reports, he has a large following amongst psychopathic wing of the LibDems.
Jesus there’s another lefty shirt lifter on the Daily Politics in a pink shirt right now, talk about being a queen.
Dear Dave,
I’ve tried my best to cover the country in pointless and expensive wind farms. I’m going now but I’ve locked you into green spending commitments, the scale and extent of which will only become clear just before the next general election.
Yours,
Chris Huhne, MP
Now then Avram. You’ve taken down John Terry. That’s enough for one day.
What if SHE pleads GUILTY !!!
Answers on a postcard please.
We have seen the hubris. Let’s hope retribution and nemesis follows.
Them ancient Greeks knew a thing or two. Lovely irony that Ms.Pryce happens to be of Greek stock.
There was was a man called Chris Huhne
Who had sex with a captive baboon
The act required some strength
And he denied it at length
Until a baby was born one full moon
My Old Man says follow the van and don’t dilly dally on the way.
There goes the man with his nice ex wifey,
Up to the neck in their self inflicted shyty,
Singing
“What the fuck happenend?
This isn’t suppose to happen,
I am such a pretty little boy.
But I still get my pension,
Till I go up into heaven,
And I don’t give a shit anyway.”
I don’t have to resign from parliament do I just because someone says I’m lying? I mean isn’t that what I get paid for. Your still talking to me aren’t you Nick. What about you Vince, your talking to me aren’t you.
Goodwin stripped of his knighthood, Huhne charged.
Since they have thrown out some token carcasses for the Goyim to chew on, it means there must be something afoot? Some big legislative change, or bailout, or decision to go to war being enacted?
Good to see that Brillo, Portillo and Ally Campbell nailed it on ‘This Week’ last night: “If the CPS are calling a news conference, it can only be to explain why they’re not going to prosecute.” Campbell hasn’t lost his infallible touch, then – though I have to say his bagpipe playing was impressive.
Chris Hunt
When all the window-dressing has been discounted, there’s little doubt that both Cameron and Clegg are more than happy to see the back of the obnoxious Huhne. Wonder if I should apply for the job of Energy Secretary?
I would but I’ve no energy.
Both hands will be placed on the Holy Bible to take the OATH-since Miss Pryce will without doubt be truthfull how long can the case last?
I haven’t been this happy since Blunkett resigned.
The day that fat, bullying, lying, hypocritical, cowardly, tax-grabbing, gold-selling, humourless, one-eyed, Scottish lump of crap who masqueraded as Prime MInister is also worth a mention, surely?
Sorry! I left out the word ‘resigned’ after Prime Minister.
Dear Chris,
Re: Resignation, accepted.
I forgot to mention in my letter that I sent your lawyer a tube of KY for you.
It will cum in handy when you are in the showers. There are some big gentlemen in Wandsworth. I’m sure you will make lots of friends.
Don’t bother writing back.
Your friend.
Call me Dave.
If as I hope and expect he is found guilty can we expect him to resign his seat and thereby cause a by-election ?. If he is found guilty and given a custodial sentence would he have to resign his seat ? The anticipation is all very heart warming. What a day it has been , what a rare mood I’m in. why its almost like being in credit. By the way I see the stock market has risen greatly at the news.
A serious question – will he be entitled to a ministerial payoff?
What I want to know is who’s the sexy babe behind the DPP on the news clips?
Yesterday I thought he might just get away with it, but when I heard the news this morning, oh what bliss! I hope that justice now takes its course and he goes down for a long stretch. I’ll drink a toast to the blogosphere who worked hard to stop the political class from burying this matter. And now for the rest of those buggars (literally, some of them) who have been busy destroying my nation and its people.
A bloke wot I knows who used to be in the Old Bill told me Huhne is a German. ‘Is real name is Hunn, but ‘e spells it funny ‘cos ‘e was always bein’ ribbed at school, the kids givin’ ‘im the Nazi salute an’ ‘ummin’ the Dam Busters an’ suchlike. That’s why he married a Greek bint, to ‘ide wantin’ to send aslyum sickers to the gas chambers. So ‘es got some decency, ain’t he? ‘Nuvver fing, he turned a lezzie. Don’t he get no credit for that? ‘Course, he could ‘ave run down a kiddy when ‘e was speedin’, so ‘es gotta do ‘is time an’ take it up the arse in the showers like any uvver peedo.
Clegg’s short reply to Huhne’s resignation uses the word “key” no less than three times. Is he trying to add to his discomfiture?
