Boris Spinner Guto Harri Lined-Up for News International
Boris spinner Guto Harri is poised to accept a position as Director of Communications at News International on a salary of £250,000-a-year. Guido understands that he promised Boris some weeks ago that he would not accept the position until after the election. Guto is telling the truth when he says he has not signed a contract, he is due to formally sign on with News International next week.
Guido sources at News International say that Sara Argent, currently Head of Operations at the GLA, will also go with him. She is a former CCHQ staffer who worked on the Boris 2008 election campaign.
Guto has also been a name regularly in the frame for a job at Downing Street. If Dave really wants him, he’ll have to move fast…
Nice work if you can get it 250k??
Yep he’s not needed anymore now that Boris has said he’s going to be an MP next.
I want Guto! I’ll move as fast as ya like!
Sorry, don’t do tykes.
How about nice posh boys?
I know it seems like a lot of money, but if people really knew what it entailed they would think differently.
Yeah, they would think it is not a job that should exist and the salary should be nil.
How the fuck did he ever get a job at the BBC. He’s clearly not a lefty.
The only reason I can think of is that he’s Welsh, rather than English. I’ve wondered for some time how Jeff Randall managed to get a BBC job – white, English (with a working class background in London’s East End), right of centre. It isn’t like the BBC to let somebody so clearly ‘not one of us’ slip through the net.
One has to keep up appearances
Well in that case I know how Robert the Pest got a job as political editor .
He can only speak in octaves.
Chimes with the melodic political correctness of Auntie dontcha think?
( Unlike my trademark Brasenose bray ).
Wssamadder moddy ??
Bit too near the knuckle for yah dearie ??
quite
days of empire must be maintained
And the best thing? Not having to work for the Bolshevist Bumlicking Crew!
Who is PM and why isn’t his name in full. Is he claiming anonymity?
What does ‘core participants’ mean?
Means the get to see all the stuff upfront. So for that 8 it just means legitimately
Is that so they can manage the revelations better than they have been doing? Labour have been running rings around them in the presentation of this whole pantomime,
Yep maybe.
Twatson somehow managed to become a core participant but not sure about Mensch etc
Its this list + the Whitehall eight
http://www.levesoninquiry.org.uk/about/core-participants/
It means the “more equal” have something to hide from us.
I’d want more than 250k for that job; the going rate should have been around 600k+ share options

When you sell lots of papers and lots of TV channels you can afford to pay the staff well.
Any chance Fernando Zylberberg will be declared person-non-grata for the olympics?
The ad agency which made this advert, which claims the Falklands are ‘Argentine’ soil is Young & Rubicam. They are owned by the WPP Group, a UK listed company. This has its main management office in London and its registered and executive office in Dublin.
The chair of this company is Philip Lader, former United States Ambassador to the Court of St. James’s, e.g. United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Irelad (1997–2001).
The CEO is Sir Martin Sorrell.
I think this pair should be declared persona non grata until they sack the makers and apologize to the people of this country and to the residents of the Falklands Islands for facilitating this little stunt.
Well said.
Sir Martin Sirrell is on the board of the unsuccessful England 2018 bid
We don’t need Harri in Portsmouth. With my amazing exemplary political record, our LibDem appalling record as the ruling Administration in Portsmouth, forging the closest relationship between the public sector and organised crime that has been seen since Chicago in the 1930′s, and the incredible incompetence of the local Tory Party, not forgetting the local electorate the level of intelligence of whom, on the whole, is below that of a typical Mong, we got re-elected. Boaz.
Jachin brother,
Can I congratulate you and the boys for securing an increased majority in last nights elections.
Boaz
Well done Handy, our influence, your gerrymandering with the asian vote down there; you will soon be poised to fulfill our ambition for you, to be the next Leader of the Liberal Democrats and thereafter Prime Minister. Any young girls for me? Jahbulon.
Thanks Grand Master, I owe you a great deal and when I am PM, you will be in my Cabinet , as already promised. Boaz.

I think this comment should have been moderated / excised.

Er …
That’s it.
Yours, etc.
BBC bias. They haven’t reported any of the gains of the Lib Dems or the Conservatives. On their website they’re only reporting Labour gains. I smell a Commie plot.
But they did have some braindead from UKIP on the Today Programme this morning. Sounded like he’d had media coaching as he managed to string together a good sentence or too.. even though he was a bin-dipping scally.
“a good sentence or too”
“bin-dipping scally”. Whatever that is. I love the attempts at wit on here
I love the typos.
I was a typo once
“Rag-picking Liverpudlian”– ya like that better?
A plague on both your houses.
Or more accurately “I piss in both your reservoirs”
Last night I saw some befuddled old Dem crowing about the Dems gaining 2 seats.
Dimbleby had to point out to him that overall in that council they were down 4 seats net at that point.
There’s cosy.
Maybe Cameron can take a punt on Brooks instead?
No stranger to soggy-seconds from News International.
This amusing in the context
The orange bailed witch “persuaded” Cameron not to appoint Hari !
Now NI need him to try and get them out of the shyt…

And politicians wonder why real people are put off politics…
Actually, politicians don’t wonder at all – even after yesterday’s abysmal turnout. No, they couldn’t give a flying fuck, as long as they and their useless acolytes are in some well-paid sinecure.
The turnout was low BECAUSE IT WAS FUCKING RAINING.
You don’t need to be a Psephologist to work that out.
Gezundheit.
It was raining fuckings? You’ll need more than a psephologist to help you work it out.
I blame global warming.
The turnout was predicted to be low long before the rain forecast.
The turnout was low because it doesn’t matter much.
Even if every seat up for grabs went to Labour there would still be a coalition in office until 2015.
Even in the semi-important london election people couldn’t care much.
Plenty of people out voting ‘no’ to mayors, which will save them the bother of voting in future mayoral elections.
Maybe they realise that if Wastemonster wants to impose Vichy-type mayors on the cities of England, Wastemonster will do exactly that.
Turnout was low because, for now, the only winner will be liblabcon scum.
The eurozone will overcome the crisis as one bloc!

Excellent news, Master!
I have nearly finished destroying England, oh Master, will you reward me with a well-paid nonjob in Brussels, oh great one?
Your obedient humble pathetic spineless servant,
Dave.
PS: You are wonderful. xx
Feckin LEIBER destroyed this country – LEIBER – you m.o.r.o.n!
Completely wrong, you MORON.
Immigration: UP UNDER CAMORON.
Spending: UP UNDER CAMORON.
Borrowing: UP UNDER CAMORON.
National debt under Labour: £1trillion. UP UNDER CAMORON to £1.4trillion by 2015.
Crime: UP UNDER CAMORON.
Unemployment: UP UNDER CAMORON.
Tax: UP UNDER CAMORON.
Spending on our EU membership: UP UNDER CAMORON.
Remember my little mongs vote conservative and then when your pissed off with them vote Labour and then when your pissed off with them vote conservative and then when your pissed off with them vote Labour and then when your pissed off with them vote conservative and then when your pissed off with them vote Labour and then whevote conservative and then when your pissed off with them vote Labour and then when your pissed off with them n your pissed off with them vote conservative and then when your pissed off with them vote Labour and then when your pissed off with them vote conservative and then when your pissed off with them vote Labour and then when your pissed off with them…………..
You can’t blame Leiber without blaming Stoller at the same time.
The final resolution?

I’ll be back!
There used to be a group around in the 60s/70s called Gerry and the Bombmakers (or something like that anyway). Anyone know if they are still around?
They were called “Gerry and the Pacemakers”. All the pacemakers’ batteries failed (he was fitted with three, two of them backups) and alas, tragically, regrettably (plus any other adverb inserted by insincere hacks when reporting a demise) Our Gerry pegged out and spared the world any more of his execrable warbling.
I’m surprised that Boris has a spinner.
Surely Boris just stands about saying things as they occur to him.
You thought he had just had a full toss?
…and a very sticky wicket.
Da iawn iddo fe.
I’m still in the race! It isn’t over until the fat lady sings.
Which reminds me. Where is Dianne Abbott?
Practising her scales.
Breaking her scales.
Two of you will have to get off.
And now the Telegraph. Commie plot I tell you, Commie plot. They are reporting that Labour have won seats. Is there no bastion left for me to escape the narrative of what’s happening?
Miliband is a hero! The people want what he is selling.
BTW..what is he selling.?
I really haven’t a clue, but I do have an awfully blank piece of paper on my desk. If you have any suggestions, I would be most grateful.
Opens the suggestion box.
“Crumple paper into fist sized ball.
Insert into rear orifice.
Continue Talking out of same.”
I think our dave needs a miracle – not sure guttohari could turn around the current shambles.
Anything we can help with?
It’ll be a miracle to retake them.
Just tell the Witch of BA that if she tries anything then we will put a Tomahawk through her bedroom window in the Casa Rosada. That should reverse her face lift and rearrange the furniture a bit.
Why don’t you help him, tart?
That’s all he needs.
I doubt my jam tarts are going to help him . Although I will admit pastry isn’t my forte and occasionally turns to concrete at which time I guess he could use them as missiles to throw at the libdems.
Go & take a bath smelly knickers.
Emma Who?
No idea either, jgm.
Have had a look at her CV on her website where, among other career highlights, she has done voiceovers for… Kotex Ultrathin Pantypads…
She has the hint of nice tits.
How would you know.
Looks like it’s all over for the ConDems.
Perhaps I could help.
You’ve already done more than enough
Come back please John.
I hear they are looking for someone to make burgers for McDonalds in Neasden. Ken will have to get in fast though because there is a guy from Romania who is also interested.
The guy from Romania has a phd in Cashline Machine adaptations which are apparently quite lucrative.
And he’s quite good at taking lead off church roofs and distracting people using a copy of the Big Issue
Immigration is absolutely vital to our economy.
Couldn’t agree more, there’s only 5 million on benefits.
All applicants will be treated equally. Then the foreigner will be declared the winner. It’s the right thing to do.
News International! Unfit and improper! Phone hacking! Culture of corruption! Rebekah is too cosy with the current Prime Minister!
Oops, sorry. Force of habit, you know. The name sets me off. I’ll be all right in a minute.
Lucky man!
Guto going to work with Dave? Isn’t that a bit like the Capitan of the Carpathia wanting to go and join the captain of the Titanic?
What sort of name is Guto – sounds more appropriate to Prescott, Pickles , Abbot, Watson etc
It’s one of two things: (a) a Bond villain’s psychotic sidekick – an expert assassin who ends up getting his genitals fried with microwaves, or (b) Pluto the dog’s retarded half-brother.
Sounds like >Guido’s< "evil twin."
Something foreign. So exactly as required by al-beeb and Cobber Rupe.
Looks like the LibLabCon tennis game is in full swing, nothing really changes.
Same old same old.
Don’t blame me, I voted B&P. It’s the Labour Party, without the anti-English ra*cism.
Go one, fatty, m*d it again, you little libertar*ian you.
It’s getting stupid here now, you can’t say U**P you have to say YOUK!P you can’t say M***** you have to say Mu$l1m and you can’t mention the name of the bloke who was mu*****d by Noo L13b0re in the woods.
Test:
UKIP.
I’m fed up too. You can’t say r.a.g.h.e.a.d. or anything now. Where’s OUR freedom of sp.e.e.c.h. Oh I forgot, you have to be of a certain r.e.l.i.g.i.o.n.
Your speech is deemed likely to cause conflict. Desist, or you will be resolved.
E.U.S.S.R. gets eaten by the modbot.
Its in the tediousRant() function.
Writing from experience must mean you get caught a lot by it?
No, when’ve you seen me repeeting some “clever clever” pun/meme.
Whenever I get caught out its the vegetables.
Go back to programming in Java. Some of your comments should’ve been caught by the garbage collector.
Aye. What’s that all about? Labour were losing votes to the B&P so they set the equal opportunities commission onto ‘em to tie ‘em up in expensive court cases. And when they lost the first case they simple had another go having abolished double jeopardy. For serious crimes. And what could be more serious than saying something unkind about the cultural enrichment of the UK.
Is Warsi flagging up that the T*ries are going to pull the same stunt with Farage?
is that a problem?
So Why do Dave and co want to see Andy’s and Rebekah’s statements in advance?
And so it begins, wait till Bliar and the one eyed mong get called. Is Al*****r Ca****ll getting called?
I thought they all worked for News Int already!!!
Harri Cashna, Harri Cashna, Harri Harri
Harri ranni, harri ranni, harri ranni,
Did anyone see Militw*t in Birmingham surrounded by e.f.n.i.c.s. saying HE was giving US what we wanted? What I want is to get rid of these b*ggers out of our country.
Keeping well away from London then.
You’d have thought he’d want to be on hand to toast Ken’s success as the most powerful Labour politician in the UK.
Jgm & Anonymous, I never was raycist, until the Labo*r G*vernment told me I was and apparently I am raycist if I keep my gob shut but someone thinks I am raycist!
However I now am, and want all these riff-raffs out. L*bour sc*ttered all these i.migr*nts all around the country, and they have multiplied. They all seem to vote for L*bour, who pay the taxis they all seem to own anyway, and collect their p*stal votes so that they can be filled in by party officials.
W.A.N.K.E.R.S.
“who pay the taxis they all seem to own anyway”
You do.
How will they get an E.U.S.S.R. when there’s still countries?
Dimblebore trashes another political party. He accused the English Democrats of being right wing, he of course asked Caroline Spelman who like the stupid cow she is nodded away.
So the BBC have managed to accuse YouK!P and the English Deomocrats of being nasty right wingers.
Being right wing does not mean they are nasty. Did he say nasty or simply say they are right wing?
He said right wing in that typical BBC lefty way.
Interesting that the one place with some English Democrat success, Doncaster, voted overwhelmingly to keep its elected mayor, the English Democrat, Peter Davies.
Mainstream parties generally opposed elected mayors for fear of the same thing in their own back-yards.
Who are these m*ngs voting Leiber? Plus a 32p.c. turnout is shocking. These by-elections should be voided. 68p.c. didn’t vote ffs. Unbelievable.
A 100% turnout isn’t going to make politicians any more decent or honest than paying a premiership footballer 200K a week is going to make him a better footballer.
32% turnout. 42% turnout. 22% turnout. 2% turnout.
It won’t matter a damn.
Ken Dood (I think) it was who told the gag about meeting a politician at a party.
‘Ken? Ken Dodd? You’re a comedian – tell me a joke.’
‘You’re a politician – tell me a lie.’
80% turnout in French presidentials. I rekon 40% of them are too dim to vote.
I watched a TV programme last night where voters of the LePen.
It included:
A couple on <£100k who thought they'd be taxed less.
Someone else who said they'd keep all local services running.
A bloke who thought she'd sort out wasters.
A waster who thought basically nothing, but didn't think it would be bad for her unemployed congolese sister in law.
A bloke selling forrin lawn tractors, who wanted to be forced to sell french ones.
Farmers who don't like the CAP. They expect a FAP to be better (!).
Be fair, the French still vote in their millions for communist’s. They imagine that Sarkozy is not a socialist and that Marine LePen, a national socialist, is somehow ‘extreme right wing’. It’s Alice in Wonderland stuff.
Leftright-ometers are a load of shite. Stop whining.
May the fourth be with you.
Never mind the Ides of March, we need the Ides of May. Anyone got a stiletto (not yours Theresa, you’d get the timing wrong) Watch out Dave.
When I was younger I had a bright blue Sunbeam Stilletto (google it).
Went like the clappers leaving MGBs standing at the lights. OH happy days!
The sheeple have voted Labour. Sarkie’s in trouble. The FTSE’s taken a dive. I’m having a triple orgasm
And I am short.
You’re a day late.
Steph love, did you remember to get out and vote again today?
Wonder if the UKIP chappy would have got more votes for Mayor if they’d remembered to put his party on the ballot paper.
Fresh Choice for London
Thank you for sitting on this until today Guido. Could have been embarrassing before polling day as you know. We owe you one.
We have been watching all the European politics especially France.
We are going on the p1ss in Magalluf next week so should we get our Euro’s today or next week.
Can someone answer please? This is all we wish to know

I remember too hoo put my apostrophes in the right place.
Listen I could have gone to school if I had wanted grammar lessons
And FYI hoo is not a valid split infinitive
and its ‘to’ rather than ‘too’
At 1.23 exchange rate they are up 4 -6 cents from a few weeks ago. UK readies exchanged at a bank abroad gives best return. Only rich people exchange pounds for foreign currency in the UK since bank rate and commision steals 10- 15 cents per pound per go.
The solid unbreakable rule is – ALWAYS get your local currency locally – ie when you get there. If you go to a legal moneychanger rather than a bank you can negotiate for an extra point or two on the exchange rate. When you return, do not bring any coins with you; use them up or get them changed into notes before departure. Airport cafes are well used to being handed fistfuls of coins for coffees and cakes before travellers depart.
I think Boris will win!
No Boris is going to lose, Ken’s called in a few favours with the 9 million Muslims living in London.
P*k1stan Airways did an air drop over London last night of ballot papers.
Serves Boris right, he should have banned all postal voting when he got elected.
BOAC = Better on a camel
PIA = Please inform Allah
etc… off you go.
If Boris wins, it’ll reinforce the fact he should be the Tory leader.
These are extremely serious results and will be given our full attention.
Anyone for tennis?
Keep up the appearance Dave and maybe a few shots of you doing Judo will put the hounds of for a while. If not just have them executed
Birmingham votes ‘NO!’ to elected mayor.
By-elections called off. Labour ‘safe’ seats remain unshuffled.
Any jobs going?
I’m infirm , semi paralysed and quasi voiceless approaching the last hurrah .
But I suppose I’ll have to come back and sort out this omni incompetent shambles as none of you cretins seem to have a sliver of an idea how to save yourselves from Gin Lane.
( Is Willie still alive ? Oh how I’d need him now !!)
Mags, Just give wavy Davy a belt in the nuts with your walking stick. That might convey the appropriate message which none of us seem to be getting through to him.

I think this pair should apologize to the people of this country and to the residents of the Falklands Islands for facilitating this recent disrespectful little stunt.
That will not bother them. Who wants to go back to Britain anyway? Plus they doubtless have extensive business interests in Argybargyland.
Course, you could ban all their footballers if you like!
I assume have shareholders and employees here and this is where they make their money. WPP has a lot of UK corporate clients: far more than they will ever have in Argentina.
this has already been posted hasn’t it?
nothing like clinging on to empire hey
Looks like Boris is going to lose, they’ve just ‘found’ another 2 million postal votes from Brick Lane. Allah Ackbar!!!
racism
Miliband has been in Birmingham and now Southampton. Does this mean London doesn’t count? Where is Miliband’s support now for Livingstone?
If you were Labour leader would you hang around with electoral arsenic like Ken on a day when, by the sheer ineptitude of the Tories, you had just been gifted a load of councils?
Has anyone seen Francis Maude lately by the way?

This is a must read
That is no way to talk to Ken
I thought he was writing to his agent
Seems he had the right idea about Stalin though.
Owen Jones, Age 16:
So. Farewell then
Uncle Joe Stalin.
Franklin Roosevelt liked you
but Churchill did not,
And he was bloody right
Not to do so.
If, as predicted, Ken loses, don’t be surprised if he goes on a murderous rampage.
He says he going gardening.
With a great big axe.
Hi Alan
I understand he will drop off his nomination papers for the next mayoral election before he heads for the pub.
I just occurred to me that this could be one of those “Rio Ferdinand to sign for FC Chung-Yip for £ X million” stories that get planted in the Sun by his agent when he is renegotiating his contract.
Is this story really just part of Guto’s plan to wrangle a pay raise from Boris?
If Boris is re-elected in the teeth of the general anti-T*ry vote then Guto can probably name his pr*i*ce.
PMSL
1611:
More on the news that UKIP’s candidate for Mayor of London, Lawrence Webb, was mistakenly listed on the ballot paper as Fresh Choice for London. It should have read “UKIP: A Fresh Choice for London”. According to a New Statesman blog, a “furious” Nigel Farage has admitted that the fault was at UKIP’s end – they forgot to put their party name on the nomination paper.
Excuses, excuses. There is nothing like a sore loser.
They should have just called themselves UKIP and not tried to be clever.
Actually, it was clear he was a UKIP candidate because the UKIP logo was to the lefgt of his name.
Breaking A bloke in Southampton has just thrown an egg at “Egg Milliband”In full view of the press and he then ran away ! So funny!
On Sky at the moment
Did he tw@t the guy?
The yolk’s on him.
‘Egg Miliband’. Love it. That and ‘Boris wins’ could wipe the bedwetter triumphalism off the front pages tomorrow.
If Boris wins.
20-1 now on Ken. Maybe I should open a betting account. He’s got to have a better chance than 20 – 1.
We will of course cover this story somewhere across our wide range of output – Radio Rutland
The 3am slot.

Finally Ed Miliband is enEGGmatic.
Ed Miliband seeking sympathy vote when a “yob” breaks egg on his shoulder?.

LOL at the BBC “Boris Johnson is ahead but the areas still to call have large numbers of votes for Ken”
You bet, they’ve been filling them out for 4 years.
If Ken doesn’t end up with 150% of the vote I’d be amazed.
Ha ha!
