Warsi’s Spice Partner Took Labour MP on Expenses-Paid Trip
Abid Hussain Linked to Pakistan ISI Spy Agency Front Group


In the Daily Star Sunday yesterday Guido picked up on Labour’s own links to Abid Hussain – Warsi’s in-law and business partner at the centre of her recent troubles. This former Hizb ut-Tahrir insider travelled to Pakistan with the Tory chairman in 2010, but that’s not the only politician he has got close to. In the same summer Hussain was travelling with Warsi, he was also organising dinners attended by Labour’s rising star Stella Creasy. As the pictures above show, Hussain was also helped out on David Miliband’s leadership campaign. Creasy has also campaigned with Hussain on local issues, though she was quick to distance herself from him on Friday when we pressed her… 

The connections didn’t stop there. Normally bruiser Simon Danczuk would be one of the first out of the traps when it comes to attacking the government, however on this one he’s been very quiet. Could it be because last year he too travelled all-expenses paid to Pakistan, going to meetings set up by the same Abid Hussain?

Danczuk’s expenses were paid by the Kashmir Centre, which is a front for the Pakistani spy agency ISI.  Six months after the trip with the All Party Group on Kashmir the FBI arrested and charged Syed Ghulam Nabi Fai, the head of the Kashmir Centre, for conspiring to act as an agent of a foreign power.

Although Danczuk did declare the trip in the Register of Interests, he did not reveal that the “staff member” who accompanied him on the trip was his then partner, now wife, Karen Burke. The rules state that any trips “made by Members or their spouses or partners, which in any way arise out of membership of the House, where the cost of any such visit has not been wholly borne by the Member or by United Kingdom public funds” must be declared. Despite ignoring questions last Friday, Danczuk’s staffer managed to call today, though he asked Guido not to run his explanation. Over to you Simon…

      You have to admit, someone did a effective rain dance.

        nellnewman says:

        I feel sure the water authorities would have had discussions about prospective weather for spring and summer with the Met Office before they imposed the ban.

        Met Office seems to have told them it was going to be long dry hot summer a la global warming. So they put the hosepipe ban in place.

        Hopefully someone is now doing a heavy clog dance on the global warming fanatics at the Met Office!

        • 35
          Another Engineer says:

          I doubt it – longer term forecasts are highly experimental.

          There was a significant rain deficit over the autumn and winter, particularly in parts of E England, and a “normal” summer would not have been sufficient to replenish supplies. Most summers (even in the UK), evaporation exceeds rainfall.

          They certainly couldn’t have predicted what looks likely to be one of the worst Junes on record (if the forecast for the next two weeks pans out).

          Visit our web site, where we have a massive section on CLIMATE. It used to be labelled CLIMATE CHANGE but we are now quietly hedging our bets.

    Seems to me that the explanation as to why 60,000 Pakistani’s are granted british Passports every year is finally exposed – both Labour & the Conservatives & the Lib Dems have been selling us out for years.

    All those arranged marriages – all those village girls being bought to the UK to install “British values” into the next generation of homegrown Jihadists.

    Its a disgrace – & a reckoning will have to come for this treason against the indigenous British people

      The views of Ian Hislop do not represent the views of the BBC. His views are his own.
      Whilst we do agree that the royal family are brill, and give us a chance to globe trot and smarm our arses off, we are also staffed entirely by republicans from the guardian.

      So its a tricky position for us here in beebland.
      On the one hand we love big outdoor broadcasting, state events. But on the other we’d much rather they were entirely tax payer funded, with big corporate sponsors, and ordinary, working class, and disabled people to interview.

      That’s why our Euro 2012 coverage is weak but we’re in wankland over the Olympics.
