Where Are the Whips?
Conor Burns might be fearing for his job when he votes against the government over Lords reform tomorrow, but Guido is starting to suspect that Tory whips’ hearts aren’t really in it. For 70 Conservative backbenchers to voice such open dissent – including loyalists that still actually harbour career ambitions – there is clearly little anxiety over the consequences of rebelling. And as for those LibDem boundary review threats…
Peter Lilley has gone on the record saying that no whip has got in touch with him, while Jacob Rees-Mogg told the BBC: “I speak to the whips regularly but I haven’t come under any pressure“. Tories have been briefing the Lobby that their party capos have been nowhere to be seen:
Former Tory whip says he"s seen no evidence of proper Tory whipping operation to win over lords rebels #justforappearances—

Tory rebel tells me he doesn't know anyone who's been given "a serious bollxxxing" for planning to vote against Lords reform—

Dave ordered a three-line whip on Lords reform, but neither his backbenchers nor his whips seem to care. The power now lies with Ed…
Am i first on this Band waggon ?

Why don’t they write these things in English ffs?
It is.
Er……
The UNIQUE constraint uniquely identifies each record in a database table.
The UNIQUE and PRIMARY KEY constraints both provide a guarantee for uniqueness for a column or set of columns.
A PRIMARY KEY constraint automatically has a UNIQUE constraint defined on it.
Note that you can have many UNIQUE constraints per table, but only one PRIMARY KEY constraint per table.
Perfectly plain
Looks like english to me. Although admittedly you might be thrown by what they mean by “key”. its not a metal thing with bits cut out at one end, and usually round at the other.
I suppose at a stretch, you might not know what a “record” is in a database. Similarly, its not a round plastic thing with a groove cut in it.
That is fantastic! I’ve been looking for that for bloody years! A drug free cure for my chronic insomnia.
Yeah, you’ll all be telling me next that this has won a plain English Award.
What he/she describes (if used properly) makes your life a lot easier in so many ways….ways you never even thought about.
Compared with any legal document, this is absolutely crystal clear!

There, I hope that’s better.
Probably; it’s a non-story. No need for the whips. When the pics with the goats appear in the in boxes tomorrow morning the MPs will fall into line.
Another joint.
FFS, When will the Lib Dems realise the electorate does not give a shit about Electoral reform or The Lords.
Sort the economy and immigration out FFS! LISTEN!
Thought the Palace of Westminster was on planet Zog, you know these MPs don’t give a toss about their voters after voting, they are too busy troughing and making friends in companys for after they get dumped.
Sounds like a good argument for an effective second house to hold them to account……
Effective being the important word here, not the omnishambles proposed by Cleggover.
So kick it into the long grass again Your Lordship?
The important thing is to keep the grass clipped to its current length. This proposal would leave it to grow for fifteen whole years before the use of a lawnmower is even considered.
The plural (look it up) of ‘company’ is ‘companies’. Don’t they teach kids anything at school these days?
Jack Ashley was a better listener than anyone in the Commons or Lords these days.
All the parties knows it needs reforming so that it’s a more elected chamber and therefore more accountable so it’s not just a place for political appointees & jobs for the useless cronies .
But enough of the EU , at least the lords has a chance of change
≧✯◡✯≦ !
Party Whips: the biggest enemies of democracy, after political parties themselves.
LD s didn’t vote for Hunt – so why should Torys vote for this – simple you makes your bed you lie in it.
Or if you are a Limp Dumb, you rent your boys, buy your glass coffee table and you……
Do it! Do it!
the whips are just getting there “lines”. #politicsnotporn
Fancy a good time, Dearie? Special rates for MPs.
I can provide the cream.
The tax payer will pick up the rest
But we won’t tell you everything!
Just like we promised not to take away legal aid for children who are disabled, due to medical negligence and incompetence, by the NHS – but we ARE, from next March, now that nobody’s looking!!!!
Promises are not subject to reasonable expectation – YOU pay to fight the third biggest company in the entire world, you ungrateful little cripples!

And that is saying something nowadays given the competition
Someone’s after my title?
You need a crash course, Nige.

Is Balls goosing her?
Noooo!
No he’s Goosing Ed, thats why he’s smiling !
What a pair of TiT’s
Who is the woman with them ?
Hallo this is not normal for Westminster the two Ed’s with a very Big Jack & Danny between them !!!
Questions will be asked in the House of Ill Repute regarding this matter on Wednesday !!
Purple tie day again.
Still nobody will tell me, why purple?
It means the blood doesn’t show after shadow cabinet meetings.
It does look like care in the community
Mrs Meat and two veg
Good God, what will her grandchildren think of her when they grow up?
Oh look! Four barely restrained tits and two useless c.unts!
You are the clusterfuck, and I claim my £5!
Be careful, Cameron. If the revolting backbenchers get away with it, they find that they enjoy it.
No PM finds life easy with a lot of revolting back-benchers behind him.
I see that Pravda is peddling the release of more Libor/BoE/Barclays e-mails for all its worth.
It’s what is NOT being reported that shows the Labour PR Broadcasting Corporations’ leanings…..
…Nowhere does it say that all this went on during Brown and Balls watch…
B’stards.
Tut tut Kindly moderate your use of such words in this context
We are all painfully aware that our parents are unknown
so thats the way we report our NEWS !!
BTW we know where you live…….
Yup, CNN Business Report (led from London) doing exactly the same thing.
There is one saving grace with all this coalition kack , at least we know that the LibDems must never, ever be let anywhere near the levers of power again.
Agree. That’s why current LibDem HoL reform must be defeated otherwise gives Limp Dems permanent control over balance of power in HoL – disastrous.
‘The power now lies with Ed…’
Can you imagine Father? Can you imagine Father, looking up …. and him standing over you with his lad in his hand, wanting you to degrade yourself? God almighty can you imagine that Father? Can you picture it there Father? Oh get a good mental picture of it. Can you see him there? Ready to do the business?
I took whipping seriously and it messed with my bum.
Coincidentally, the exact words of Mad Frankie Frauds letter to the troops.
And my brain.
What I meant to say was,
I took serious whipping and it messed my bum.
I’m voting against.
A liberal coalition colleague said “Then we won’t support boundary reforms”
“Then we won’t need you anymore and can collapse the coalition. No boundary, no point hanging on. Might as well call an election in September.”
“Ahh..September.erm..well.lets not be too hasty…there’s the fixed parliament agreement after all…”
I won’t be too sad to dump our ‘Italian’ style allies. Poorly equipped. Poorly led. Run away at the first sign of conflict.
More trouble than they’re worth
Always tryin to slip something in through the back door…Yer right Bill, more trouble than a bag full of dog sh…
Don’t mention dogs near the Limp Dumbs, for god’s sake! Mine got shot last time I crossed one of the mad bastards!
sopt on again el quango
Oh how I miss those long whipping sessions they were enjoyed with such passion & delight, all provided by our always ever so grateful Tax Payers !!
Hope my turn cum’s again……

This sounds like the Conservative Press Offices attempt to convince people that Cameron still has authority over his party.
LOL what makes you believe he had some in the first place??
“Conor Burns might be fearing ….” Ughhh No he’s got a lot of local problems that he’s fearing – the usual corruption, duplicity, fraud etc that his predecessor seemigly successfully thinks that he got away with covering up for 25 years … but not not anymore:- see this blog.

650 shysters, charlatans,scumbags,scalliwags and scoundrels in the HoConmen need whipping. Preferably with a cat-onine tails. Then keel hauling. Same for 792 even worse arseholes in what is euphemistically named, ‘the upper house’. Seems reasonable. All ex members who still breathe deserve the same. They have all earned it.
