The Guidogram round-up of the week is going out shortly.
Thousands of Westminster insiders read the Guidogram, everyone from Downing Street insiders to Fleet Street never miss it. This week saw Laurie Penny and Chloe Smith caught on camera, while Guido was proved right on a series of long-standing issues. It’s not one to miss out on.
Join the conspiracy and become a subscriber to the Guidogram, free, to keep in the loop. You’re either in front of Guido, or behind…

Tom Harris bemoans the public’s attitude to politicians…
“Mr Oborne echoes the lazy, anti-politics whine we hear so often these days, all based on the absurd notion that politicians were once loved and only fell out of public favour during the expenses scandal. He should take a walk to the Strangers’ Bar. But not to sup with the patrons he seems to despise so much, dearie me, no; he should instead look at the paintings on the corridor outside the bar, which depict the devastating fire which consumed most of the Palace in 1834. And he should reflect on the fact that on that dramatic night, as the Commons went up in flames, a crowd gathered on the South Bank to clap and cheer.”
The thing that Dave needs to work out is which group is more likely to vote Conservative. Mad swivel-eyed loons or mad homosexuals wishing to get married.
Good
It rather depends on what you mean by good.
Is it Friday already? Guy Newsroom on short time working methinks.
Is this a media GuidoGram or a standard guidogram
It’s a grabagram
Grab a granny ? Phwooooar !
It simply beggars belief.
You, simple bugger, beggar belief.
His is actually a bigger bugger who beggars belief.
Prophetic

I didn’t shout at Alan Sugar, I didn’t threaten to destroy Murdoch, I didn’t throw a Nokia at anyone, I didn’t authorise Damien McBride to smear opponents, I didn’t order staff to brief against Tony Blair and Alistair Darling, I didn’t misspell the name of a dead soldier, I didn’t deceive by the tactic of double counting, I didn’t ignore demands for more equipment for the armed forces, I didn’t chase President Obama into the kitchens of the UN, and I didn’t bully my staff. These are all horrible accusations with no basis.
The truth is I was elected prime minister by a landslide and I led this country to its highest level of prosperity in history.
I don’t think there is one other person on the planet who believes that sequence of events.
Hello.
Hello! Gordon. What are you doing here?
errrr Hello Jimmy !!!!
We all know some variation of this one by heart:
“I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I don’t swear, I don’t chase women, and I don’t gamble– Dammit, I’ll wager you that tart at the pub nicked me fags!”
And Gordon’s acquaintance with the truth is probably on a par with that of our friend here.
George Osborne said to parliament today – re the Barclays rate fixing- “The government of the day is literally clueless about what is going on”.
Sums up the labour party in a sentence.
2005 -2009 , Tony Bliar , Gordon McSnot , Alastair Darling possibly Jack Straw as well.
Go on you know you want to join the dots on this one Guido.
i see the big red ones are working
Apologies for being a nag Guido, but it’s friday tomorrow .

That was a different Ed Balls, not me.
Howdy their Ed my old mucker
Looking forward to seeing Paxman bully Balls over this scandal.
Dream on !
Tongue in cheek.
Much nicer than the BBC’s collective tongue stuck up Labour’s backside.
We don’t recognise that quote
Brown may find the leak is closer to home.

Two days ago Mr Cameron and Mr Osborne thought they were going to trouser 60 million quid from Barclays and the Yanks thought they were going to get another 200 million.
A bit like an extra tax.
Then along comes that idiot Milliband and mentions ‘criminality’ and ‘Barclays’ in the same speech and all hell is let loose.
Not even Bobby Diamonds pledge to give up one measly year of bonuses can stop the dam from breaking.
Within hours Osborne is rushing to the HoC to waffle twaddle to a load of dodgy Socialists and Cameron starts opening his mouth and saying Barclays have serious questions to answer.
This has got Leveson Mark two written all over it.
But when it comes to the Compo Cheques you can bet your bottom yen that it isn ‘t the little boys and girls at the top of the list.
Thanks for nothing Tories!
‘
Bit lost as to how this can be the tories fault. This is another Broon calamity. Labour now claim the tories were the biggest chear leaders for light touch regulation. That may be true. BUT, who was in charge?
Did labour only do anything if the tories supported it? If the tories cheared and encouraged labour to put thier hand in the fire, would they do it?
Labour were in power, Labour dismantled the old system, Labour designed the current system, Labour are to blame, simple.
As for Miliband having any effect on this or any other matter, dream on. Just damage limitation coupled with opportunism.
chear cheer
Utter bollocks!
