Tom Watson is looking for MPs who have ever felt intimidated or upset by press coverage to come forward. Presumably his fellow expenses troughers and backstabbers will use this chance to try silence their critics once and for all:
Guido wonders how many MPs ever felt upset and intimidated by the behaviour of the pre-makeover Tom Watson…

Andrew Pierce on Ed Balls…
“Porky Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls sweet-talked guests at a fund-raising dinner by saying if he wasn’t a politician, he would be a chef. That’s not surprising, since he was accused of cooking the Treasury books when he was Gordon Brown’s boot boy.”
Bloody foreigners, coming over here taking all our twitter followers
Tom Watson is a smearing hypocrite!
Tom Watson is such a nasty twunt, but then again he seems a nice chap. Labour should expel him from the party, mind you, he’s an excellent Labour politician, such a hypocritical tit, yet a decent honest person.
I wish I could make a decision and stick to it, although what’s the point, better to be undecided and flip-flop, yes that’s it, I’ll be firm and strong, in a weak sort of way.

Fcuk me, these Lefties are complete hypocrites.
And there lies our dilemma. Do we vote for a hypocritical Left, a clueless/incompetent Centre or….or…….oh, yeah – that’s it. Those are the choices. Democracy is so engaging.
…and yesterday Blair rubbished the evidence that Watson had given to Leveson under oath (or should that be oaf). Something that, strangely, the BBC didn’t carry in their news bulletins.
Sir,
I am upset that a Member of Parliament (he represents the good people of West Bromwich, I believe) stole £4000.00 of taxpayers money and spent it on food.
Can we appoint a judge to inquire into the culture, ethics and practices of this gluttonous oaf?
Yours etc
Yeah, OK. We’ll call it the Unleavened Bun Inquiry.
Bunter can’t resist cultivating his celebrity status …poor downtrodden colleagues…hounded by the nasty press jobsworths seeking out their darkest secrets…slimey two faced double talking scumbag
Watson does NOT represent the good people of West Brom. They’d like an MP, as their MP seems to be broken.
go get the troughers mr Tom!
Why does he even get away with it? He ought to be indelibly and terminally tarred by his role in McBruin’s team of grotesque bruisers, yet he’s now praised for “doggedness” over the hacking inquiry. The man’s a drivelling scoundrel
Tom Watson is absolutely correct. Not only should we censor the press but also blogs like this and we should bring in a ban to stop people from saying anything about politicians on the internet. I myself have been unjustly vilified in these media for shagging young girls, being a sexual predator, molesting vulnerable female constituents, sexual tourism on taxpayer’s money, being a Russian Spy, fiddling my expenses, collaborating with organised crime for mutual profits, granting planning permissions for backhanders and political donations, and spending my whole life and that of members of my family, troughing off the taxpayer. Tom, you have got my vote. Boaz.

“…that a British PM takes over when he’s popular and not very capable, and leaves office deeply unpopular but eminently capable.”
Well that was never the case with Gordon Brown!
Something about withstanding the heat and kitchens?
Oh thanks, I forgot I left the deep fat fryer on.
One of Gordon Brown’s henchmen is now asking people for evidence of intimidation and pressure?
…and only if it allegedly came from News International, you understand. Nobody else, thanks.
Watso’s gone beyond being an ignorant, vindictive bully; like his former boss, he’s now just plain bonkers.
Not bonkers. Twatson is merely gathering “confidential” material for his next book.
Apologies to poster no. 7 – saw your comment afterwards. You said it first.
Irrespective of what Levenson recommends the Press will survive. Then watch the like of Watson squirm
PS why is he doing this on HoC Paper?
Not as much as he is going to squirm when Murdo senior decides that the rev enge dish is cold enough to be served.
Research for my next book
you should launch legal proceedings against ‘James’, he’s stealing your ideas. What a Hunt
Do you mean “troughers” Guido?
Let’s hope Guido is copied into ( or leaked 0 some of the more colourful replies
How much political capital is this guy trying to make over Leveson?, if this enquiry was being held in court of law he would have been arraigned for contempt.
Correction to: inquiry? or not.
It doesn’t really matter. Twatson is still getting the blame for all the missing pies. Even Miliband minimus doesn’t seem to want to be seen with the twat…
BBC Gets caught being biased.
Decides to be even more biased.

“……his fellow expenses toughers……”?
Isn’t he a captain on Question of Sport?
Question of Sprot.
I’m a fat slimy hypocritical c unt who fiddled expenses and kept his grease laden mouth shut when all the hacking took place under Labour.
press / media pressuring MPs: bad
unions telling MPs what to do: good
glad we got that sorted. now move along, nothing to see…
I wonder if Biased BBC will be invited to the Leveson Inquiry?
Love to hear Peston in the witless [sic] box, he can’t even handle an auto-cue.
Pesto’s a fucking weirdo. The nicest thing I can find to say about him is that he’s intensely irritating.
In any organisation he’d tick a ‘disability’ box. That speech impediment of his dr*i*ves me to distraction. I have to turn over. I simply cannot concentrate on what he’s trying to say.
That’s a little rich coming from you.
its his delivery thats weird…when hes in thought/mouth production mode the sliding speech pattern is painful.
if preston did get in the witness box question no 1 should be who told you about northern rock and it problems and caused the first bank run in over a century
And why did they tell him? To precipitate the inevitable crisis and ‘manage’ and present it as a ‘banking crisis’ instead of the government-debt fuelled crisis it actually was. And still remains.
Newspapers can irritate, and upset people, in a completely legal way. It might be grossly unethical and serve no purpose for democracy.
I remain unimpressed when the freedom of the press is almost entirely about inconsequential shagging stories.
You may remain anonymous.
1. What is your name?
Tom Watson?.
Double punctuation? Why?
It’s shorthand for two answers. With only the full stop it is a definite response but with the question mark he is wondering who he is. The double punctuation serves both purposes without the need to retype. Follow?
don’t tell him pyke..
Dear Constituents
As you know I have valiantly crusaded for clarity and full disclosure regarding the relationship between the media and politicians. No doubt you may have seen my triumphant appearances at Select Committee hearings and at The Leveson enquiry.
I am now persuing other options to further inflate my ego and raise my profile even higher with more grandstanding and posturing.
This will take up quite a lot of my valuable time (I may even have to claim additional parliamentary expenses) so, if you have any pressing constituency matters you with to bring to my attention as the Member of Parliament for West Bromwich East that you would wish me to raise in The House…….tough shit!
Sincerely etc.
It’s ‘pUrsuing” – a common error.
Give it a rest. You’re still smarting at his scoop.
Jealously gets you nowhere.
What ‘scoop’ would that be?
Poop scoop of course.
The poor typical MP – lying, hypocritical, expenses fraudster, being criticised in the Press.
These victims must be given our full support and we must write to the newspapers and ask them to stop doing their job and reporting the fact.
I find the heat given off by all this bile very entertaining. I am neither Lib nor Lab nor Con and certainly not UKIP. Why all the extreme heat against Watson/ the BBC etc. Have I missd something important? (Hee hee).
Yes, the “e” out of the third word of your final sentence. (Hee hee).
Nice try you fat Hunt Twatson, you gave the game away with the word ‘career’. The correct word should be ‘service’ but you will be able to use that as none of you unsatisfied troughers give THAT to the public that pays you handsomely; it’s all about your egos!!
Explode won’t you!

The voter is so thick that most MP’s think they have a career, be it a red rosette or a blue rosette or even a sickly yellow rosette, so long as the colour of the rosette is the correct one in their small minds then that’s all the braindead voter cares about
I’d like to super size my meal.
It will match your head…
Not to mention the salary and expenses.
As a thick Northener pray tell me what the scoop may be?
Got to love the positivity of enrichment.

Stewing in the cesspool of our own steaming desires?
Anyway, all bloggers, YouTubers etc. reply to their own posts, don’t they? I’ll bet he wrote most of those comments himself.
“You have some guts to say Godless and Free. I’m a Christian and I hope that God lets a lightning bolt strike you right between the eyes. You no good FREAK!!!” —- I liked this one. It’s supposed to be a religion where we’re told to love our fellow human beings, isn’t it?
The Daily Mirror once claimed that I had been involved in supplying Ukrainian hookers to a Councillor in exchange for a favourable change of use from a special needs school to a wheel clampers yard.
I was deeply concerned {at being found out} and very afraid {of getting the push} and much of the article was exaggerated {Hooker..not Hookers} and factually incorrect {Latvian. Not Ukrainian. And the chap was a planning officer, not a Councillor. Also it wasn’t a wheel clamping yard. That was only part of the use. The majority of the land was for a rendering plant.}
Is this any help Tom?
Given the spread of the public services these days, I’m sure there will be a Latvian Hooker Quality Control Officer. No wonder the press found out – he feared for his job when you undertook that duty yourself. If you’d cleared it with the Union beforehand, and made sure he had a go as well, you’d have been in the clear.
Excellent, this is just the kind of feedback I have been looking for, the evil tyranny of the press must be exposed for all to see, I’m sure we can all unite on this one as it is an all parties issue.
yours sincerely,
T.w.atson.
I’m trending on twitter now fellas.
Celebrate tonight at Westminster Arms,drinks on me
Watson – you are supposed to be a repesentative of the people you serve – your constituents. You chose this path in life, nobody forced you to do this job. If you do your job properly, then your press coverage will probably be minimal and boring, as it is for many back-bench MPs. If you use your position to bully people, or use your influence for narrow party political or personal ends, the press is just doing it’s job if it exposes you.
If you fear the press, it’s because you aren’t doing your job properly.
“If you do your job properly, then your press coverage will probably be minimal and boring”
As if that very thought is not depressing enough (but then, good news isnt news), I do have a sneeking concern that press will have a pop at, and pick on, an MP who is having a go at the newspapers. I suppose that is a natural part of the game, but its part of that cozy system to keep the MPs sheep like.

Well ‘The Mirror’ certainly had a go at a rival (Private Eye) for revealing Piers Morgan’s entirely legal share dealing in Viglen. Certainly no pump and dump going on there. Fuck no.
But at the moment the media seems to be taking the view that kicking a rival Newspaper/meeja operation is time far better spent than kicking Tom Watson.
Will Ian Hislop be allowed to complain? He was followed (he says) for six months by The Mirror (Piers Morgan) just for breaking the Viglen story. His neighbours questioned. Even his priest apparently.
In fact this is a perfect analogy to the situation at the moment.
News International jumps ship and so Labour’s in-house media Corporation, the BBC, make life as difficult as possible for their sworn enemies.
You’re fired!
You have seen the video of this?
Its pretty damning of the Daily Mirror.
That’s what I was referring to.
And thus it came to be foretold, let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
….and JC then said “Mum! Stop messing about with those bloody rocks!”
Good to see him working hard for his constituents once again !!!
Does he even know where they are?
Probably not. His brain would explode if it had to cope with two thoughts at the same time.
Anyone would think that Twatson is building up his reputation in time for the next Liebour leader challenge. Bless him… nice man, very nice man… not!
Watson didn’t mind the press when he was leaking the sexual antics of Tory MP’s during the Major years
Good to see someone standing up to the bullying of this poor elderly ex-Australian.
How can TWatson have felt ” fear around the time News International contracted private investigators to put me under covert surveillance” ?
Presumably NI didnt tell TWatson he was under covert surveillance as that defeats the object and therefore he was blissfully unaware and can’t have felt fear about it .
Alternatively he is just a big fat lying troughing liar ?
heard him on the radio the other day, he even sounds fat and sweaty on the radio
Ohhhhh!! Duckies, we are getting a wee bit wobbly lipped here. I mean do me a favour all these, dear colleagues, were fighting to become members of the ‘Whatsinnitforme Club’ . They’re all over happy at a media handling them with kid gloves and positive remarks, but when the milk turns sour they start to show how thin skinned they are.
He who lives by media coverage can also get hung up and thrown out on to the street
and foregotten by the same media. Thats life in the limelight innit?
You spelt ur name wrong, darlin ♥
Watson appeared at Leveson? Why wasn’t it on the Beeb?
TWAT clearly wants to become St Twat, with this useless bit of fishing, solely designed to suppress the media.
No doubt he would like to be the new Media Commissar overseeing the media’s compliance to a strictly socialist news dissemination.
Perhaps we should re-visit his expense claims, with a sharper moral outrage.
Is it made clear whether or not this letter was copied all MPs on both sides of the House – or just to his own tribe? Can he claim expenses for 650 x 2 pieces of HoC headed paper and of course the envelopes to put them in. Hopefully, they were put in the MPs pigeon holes rather than posted at great expense.
” .. pre – makeover Tom Watson … ” ??
Has he had the op then ?
What make over? Still a fat Hunt.
