Dave might be floundering on Europe this morning but one of his potential successors is on top form. When asked by a Tory MP to account for Tim Shipman’s O-levels scoop last month, Michael Gove responded in a typically cutting fashion: “I have come to the conclusion that leaks appear to be part of political life“. Guido finds that the stories drip out a lot more regularly when the party’s poll ratings are on the slide…

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.”
” Evans, dear boy, Evans “
I demand a judge led inquiry!
I demand a DNA test
My “Open Government” is your “Culture of Leaks”
dear ……..,
.
looking at the handwriting, Mr Gove could not care who GS was.
if it was G4S.
GForShucks. then michael might care..
.
michael heseltine, michael portillo, michael gove.
all losers.
As her Maj would say, and what do you do ?
apologies…i was merely highlighting a pattern.
in reality…life is progress. it has no winners or losers, life is a game though.
.
.
none of the michael’s though wanted more than anything to be no. 1. all knifed. all failed. all respected, in general.
.
I am a blip.
in the big scheme of things.
here today gone tomorrow.
insignificant. If I were to meet HerMaj, I would be pre.selected.
The answer to your question lies in answer the Queen would want to hear.
.
Good to hear your question.
you feel royal….and there is no better feeling.
so thanks for sharing.
Gordon Brown = Samantha Brick
THIS GOVERNMENT IS A SHAMBLES. BRING ME BACK !!!
Cameron has stated in the Telegraph “austerity will last until 2020″
Can he please advise when it will start
Indeed. The unemployed chavs are still buying 3D TVs, smartphones, smoking, drinking, and dragging soft and loveable little dogs round in leather BDSM harnesses to try to look hard.
OK their kids are now apparently starving to death, according to left wing bleeding heart, economically incompetent fuckwit social experimenters, but I see no sign of real austerity. Unemployment falling again, by the largest amount in a decade, yesterday.
We are hardly facing what the Greeks are facing, (Thank You John Major), but if we want to avoid stagnation for a decade, we need to start real cuts in spending and real cuts in taxing, simplification of taxes, boosts for exporters and GET US THE FUCK OUT OF THE EU!
Since the “kids” are merely there to get more benefitz, what do you expect?
When you stop paying child ransom to parents, you’ll start seeing people have kids when they can afford them, rather than a shift from sensible people forced by tax to have less kids to make more feckless spawn.
“GET US THE FUCK OUT OF THE EU!”

“David Cameron: I’ll never campaign to take us out of Europe”
And that, in summary, is why he’s going to lose the next election.
And so Dave says ggodbye to the chances of winning a majority. The Non-Conservative Party will sink like the Titanic.

I know, I already read it, which is why I am STILL demanding it!
‘But one of his potential successors is on top form.’
Gove….! Are you fucking serious…?
He makes the rest of this limp shower look positively competent.
True indeed. He is the most successful minister of this current administration by a mile, has implemented more common sense and decent reforms in 2 years than labour managed in 13 and the teaching Unions don’t know what’s hit them!
I agree that he looks awful and unelectable, but he has been the safest pair of hands in Cabinet.
He is also one of the few leading Cabinet members who did not come from an overly privileged background and had to work his way up from a working class background.
He is one of a very very few tory MPs that I have any respect for.
“I agree that he looks awful and unelectable”
Look at me (these things being relative) ……..
Changed your mind yet?
Nope, just because Miliband also is awful and unelectable, that does not mean that another awful looking and unelectable politician suddenly becomes electable.
It is highly unlikely that the next election will be a choice between Miliband and Gove, so the comparison is not relevant anyway.
I respect Gove more than most other tory MPs, but I cannot see the country deciding that he is electable.
My dark knight is always rising.
I will sue
I blame Sue.
I should have named him Sue
I like Sooty and Sue.
Wacist!
what was gordy’s mum’s name?
Mrs Brown?

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/gordon-brown-turns-down-olympics-1148669
The ceremony planned sounds like it is gong to be a dire agitprop. I’d rather be out selling Militant
I’d rather be doing almost anything rather than watching the opening ceremony for the drug-cheat-and-corruption-a-thon.
I spotted a microcosm of the games in London’s Seven Sisters recently. It was a closed down public toilet, surrounded by pools of piss in front of a nice clean council office building adorned by expensively printed flags saying ‘celebrate the games’ Sod Off!
*The Olympic Opening Ceremony In Full*
* The scene starts with a typical English cricket match were the players ( all black ) demonstrate an English summers day sport beloved around the world, watched by a crowd of openly lesbian women and men with their transvestite wives.
* Next one hundred nurses will march across the field and then simultaniously start break dancing to rap music.
* As the nurses break dance finishes, one thousand extras dressed as Jarrow Marchers, will march into the stadium and proudly chant “the workers united, will never be defeated” as a lone cyclist starts cycling around the track, going faster and faster until he bursts into flames aproaching the winning line.
* Finally, a one legged lesbian will hop up the thirty nine steps to the light the Olympic flame, as the massed chorus of cricketers, miners and nurses sing “Tomorrow Belongs To Me” backed by the bagpipes of the Royal Regiment of Scotland, as the gay pride rainbow flag slashed with the logos of Olympic sponsors, is raised to the standing applause of David Cameron, along with, unelected officials, assorted mafioso, dicatators and ther crony “third way” enablers.
Rejoice!
I thought it would be something like that. Though if it really is, The BBC commentators will not be able to commentate for orgasming.
Still, humour aside, it’s going to be dire.
He might have passed the curse onto Heir To Blair.
This advert keeps demanding me to secure my seats.
Shambles ! Omni-shambles ! Shambolic !
I had a leak earlier. That woman had to clear it up when I missed.
Today’s bandwagon is G4S and I will ensure I don’t mention any Labour links with the company.
Thanks. I’m now changing my CV and removing their name from the list of companies I’m an adviser to.
Omni……is suddenly interesting. The world so needs something Omni. An opp for Bliar.
this should have been a response to No.11.
I am indeed a number.
all the best.
Those cutting words I have come to the conclusion that leaks appear to be part of political life
What else could you substitute for the word leaks?
Corruption
Venality
Lies
Bankruptcy
Treachery
Megalomania
The list is endless.
Sorry Neo!
Have I hit one of you pet favourites?
The 4th one. Time you knew that
Classic BBC bias. Just watched Ed Mongoband and Yvette Little Boy prattling away at a news conference.
AS soon as ITV’s Lucy Manning asked him a Hard question about having double standards as it was Labour who got G4S involved in the Olympics, the BBC cut away from the conference!!!
Sorry for the technical problem. Normal service will be resumed in 2015
The BBC are a relic from the past. State media should be shut down.
Gove’s signature is… interesting…
Somebody should commission a graphologist to analyse samples of selected politicians handwriting, the results would be fascinating and I suspect, confirm our worst fears.
The best thing to do when things aren’t going right is to give things a new name.
A bit of honesty would be refreshing for a change, how about Shite Services or Dunforgbh.
Gove might be to the intellectual end of the Party but he has a squeaky voice and most definitely is no leader of men and women.
Voice-ist!
Voithe-itht, thurely?
Can we have another post about Tin Cam then we can comment some more vitriol please?
Failing that one about Ed Balls kicking a kitten to death
It was a blind old ladies Labrador guide dog (bastard).
Lloyds sells off banks cheaply to the Co-op after being ordered to do so by our masters in Eurolalaland, thus swindling the taxpayer yet again.
If the EU said Lloyds had to sell them for competition reasons why was Lloyds allowed by them to take over HBOS in the first place? This takeover was hurried through by Brown and Darling. So they have defrauded not only Lloyds shareholders but the taxpayer as well. There has been no apology by them, no enquiry and very little media coverage over this scandal and shambles.
the great swindle starts in childhood. get used to it..
.
we were robbed…..sad,true…….essential.
Bliss everyone.
Should have finished the krauts off in 1945 with the bomb…and the French
Broadcast widely the fact that the Co-op bank contributes mightily to Liebor Party funds and I suspect a few million folks will move their accounts elsewhere.
