Tim Farron Outed

LibDem President Tim Farron has been dodging questions about his culinary preferences over the last few days. A yellow source tells Guido that Farron is a closet vegetarian, terrified that the large meat-eating population of National Farmers’ Union members in his constituency will find out his deep, dark secret.

Farron’s office told Guido this morning that they have never tried to hide the fact their man prefers stuffed peppers to steak and chips, but that doesn’t explain why Farron has been refusing to answer questions put to him by multiple members of the Guy Newsroom. Guido would have thought nothing more of it if he had not been so cagey. Odd…

          Guido, why hasn’t the main stream press picked upon the back door AV vote for the proposed Lords reform? The public already said they do not want it- is this Clegg’s idea of democracy? How about all EU posts to be elected by the populations of Europe? Clegg wants democracy so how about the unelected EU posts?

        I love sausages. Five or six sausages with some bacon, chips, baked beans, two or three fried eggs, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, bubble and squeak, fried bread, black pudding and a nice mug of tea (five sugars). Just the job at round this time of day to tide me over till my lunch at 1pm.

    A closet vegetarian? Well NFU members shouldn’t mind about that-farmers have to grow the vegetables too.

    Passing strange that he hides the fact that he’s a veggie but looks very camp indeed in that photo.

    Not that we give a damn where he hides his veggie sausage of course.

      No it’s just a good headline. Surely there can’t be anything more to it than that?

        You’re forgetting “the intern,” who is the one that’s ALWAYS responsible for anything that goes pe*ar-shaped over there.

    Penfold says:

    All is explained.
    He’s a Limp-Dick ‘cos he’s a veggie.

    Being a veggie still doesn’t expalin the fact that the man is a woeful and useless tosser, and should be permanently excluded from politics.

    Shock Horror, Liberal MP is a vegan. You’ll be telling us he wears sandals next.

    Farron is clearly a contraction of farrow down.

    So there is a rather unvegetarian connection with the suidae family of even-toed ungulates.

    The genus is known as sus, which figures…

    Just ‘cos he prefers a cucumber to a piece of red meat is no cause to condemn the poor man!

    My mother in law, who lives in his constituency, tells me that Mr Farron has a secret boyfriend. I thought this was what this article was about.. Clearly not..

    Q: What’s a vegetarian’s favourite chat up line?

    A: If I said you had the body of an all-natural, organic-living, animal-loving, environment-nurturing, whale-saving sex machine, would you hold it against me? Please?

Ed Balls stretches credulity by claiming he isn’t ambitious

“I would love to be part of Ed’s Labour government but what I do next for me is not an all-consuming passion. I’m more bothered, in a personal sense, about getting to grade 8 piano by the time I’m 50.”
