UPDATE: The LibDem changes are in. Clegg is hardly teaching his rebels a lesson:
Cameron refuses to promote rebels. No such scruples from Nick Clegg – Pasty Tax chief rebel Stephen Gilbert is Ed Davey's new PPS. Good.—

crazy crazy crazy
Eddie (as he liked to be called at Oxford) Balls is the new PPS to Vince Cable at Buisness
Butch Cameron and the Cocksucker Kid to PM and dep. PM.
Right hand to be moved to rohypnoled slapper’s arse.
I am bitterly disappointed that I have not been given a position in the reshuffle. I have done everything I can to get promoted. I have stopped my bonking trips to Russia on expenses, I have tried to keep my name out of the press and even put sympathy stories out about me having open heart surgery. Nothing has worked. Vladimir and my many young female fans around the world are bitterly disappointed. By the way girls here is a good photo of me for you all to swoon over. Boaz.

Fuck off Mike, there’s a good chap.
Handy, you are so handsome. I only wish it were 40 years ago and we could hook up and I could write about it in Penthouse. I can only dream about it now more’s the pity.
Does Vince prefer Balls in the Nazi uniform?
Ben Gummer?
Any relation?
Ben Grower?
Any relation?
Ben Dover – PPS to David Laws.
Or was it Nick Boles?
Or William Hague?
Oi vay my son – I’m the labour leader at Bournemouth Borough Council – have some respect for the elderly and infirm.
Can we change policy no, can we try plan A?
Do you keep posting crap on here becasue nobody reads your blog
Leave my 8illy alone you horrible little bastards.

Despite sitting there glued to his twitter account wetting himself in excitement at the chance of posting first
Leave him alone
I’ll leave her alone when she stops whoring herself on this blog.
it is her/his/its life to post on the blog
Sometimes I wish I never bothered to post on here.
We know the feeling.
Kebabs are full of shit.
you is all so meen to me
Mark Hoban is at DWP
Where is the growth?
That my friend , is for you to find, Gideon’s been looking for it for nearly 21/2 years, and still has not found it, if you find it I am sure he would be delighted if you let him know.
You mean the growth Brown had for 10 years- banking growth?
No, Brown is a growth.
Thank God – Dave’s new right hand man also read PPE.
Just what’s needed to complement Dave’s tenuous grasp of reality.
get a grip.
At least Sam Gyimah has worked and earned money in the real world, founding and running two businesses, unlike Balls, Milliband and all the other idiots that spent 13 years fucking over the UK worse than any other time in history..
Now free spending tossers like you want B£iar and Brown’s bitches back to fix it
So anyone that recognises that Cameron is a useless, lying turd supports Labour?
You’re almost as thick as Cameron.
… its easier to get a grip if you slip your hand inside my jeans
Do they still make biscuits as well?
Try Gideon’s Pasties.
Labour, the real nasty party.
Fat cat union bosses,who earn more than the Cabinet,only quaff the finest champagne these days.
Only because she butt fucked the idle c!nts
At the TUC conference of Sept 11 2001 – Bliar was to have given a speech – talking up his favourite Union Marxist zioloon dupe Ken Jackson [AEU /AEEU]
Seems to have been overlooked in many a published book since that date and of Bliars actual whereabouts that day …. One wonder’s why?
meanwhile down the road in Southampton …. The Dukes were keeping guard.
Have any of the EU rebels been offered anything other than the cold shoulder?
Boris Maximus Bonkius: {At the Games} Are you not entertained? Are you not entertained? Is this not why you are here? Count those medals!
Crowd: Spaniard, Spaniard, Spaniard…
Commode-head enters the arena.
Commode-head: Your fame is well deserved, Spaniard. I don’t think there’s ever been an fighter to match you. .. tell us all your real name?
Maximus Bonkius: My name is Agitator..
[turns away from Commode-head}
Commode-head: How dare you talk back to me! Slave, .. tell me your name.
Maximus Bonkius: [removes helmet and turns around to face Commode-head]
My name is Maximus Bonkiuus Legovii,
commander of the Armies of the bit that isn’t the east end or Islington, General of the WiffWaff Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Magius Thatcherlius. Father to an unkown number of sons, husband to a pretty thoroughly annoyed and jolly fed up wife. And I will have my title, in this Parliament or the next.
Crowd: Spaniard, Spaniard, Spaniard… Porkus..Porkus..Porkus..

Spain breaks the world record in provable unemployment according to ILO.
Southern Europe is suffering from the highest proven unemployment in the world, country specific statistics provided by the ILO for Financial Times Deutschland have shown. Spain holds the world record now with 24.5% unemployed, followed by Greece at 22.3%.
The ILO is responsible for drawing up and overseeing international labour standards.
Vote labour and we can beat that record.
‘The 20th century witnessed two particularly severe depressions in Britain – in the 1920s and ’30s and in the 1980s and ’90s – in which unemployment reached as high as 25 per cent of the adult labour force (and even higher in some areas).’
And who was in power? The Tories.
A severe depression in Britain in the 1980s and ’90s???
Prove it.
Labour can’t get over the fact that they were left a thriving economy in 1997. Brown behaved himself for the first couple of years and then went fucking bananas with the credit card.
Unemployment is a price worth paying.
As long as it’s Labour supporters.
Don’t forget interest rates at 17%.
We lost far more money with Brown’s gold sale than we did with the so called Black Wednesday debacle.
Black Wednesday was the the best day in British history. It was the day we knew we weren’t going to join the Euro.
Not entirely; in the truest euro-related fashion, it kicked the can a safe distance beyond the immediate political horizon.
Tony and Gordon revived the idea as a feature of their long-running S&M sideshow act of ‘Catheter Tennis’.
Thatcher promised on election not to double VAT (and then raised it from 8% to 15%)
The Tories then raised VAT to 17½% to pay for the Poll Tax debacle.
In 2010 they raised it to 20%
The Conservative Party – the party of low taxation
So Labour didn’t introduce 66+ new taxes then?
It is an accepted fact that the Tories use unemployment and interest rates as weapons against ordinary people.
Yes those nasty nasty baby eating Tories did it all on purpose because they hate ordinary people. They just love to be unpopular because it helps them get in to power.
According to Brendan Barber,who’s claims went completely unchallenged on the BBC radio and telly, everywhere in Europe and the U.S is recovering, apart from the U.K.
It is an accepted fact that unemployment is currently lower in the UK than it is in the Eurozone and the USA.
Massaging the figures Wal.
It did reach 25% during the great depression but in the 80s and 90s it peaked at just under 10%

It’s Cameron’s fault.
Great start:

Who gives a f*ck, I am sure someone does, just not me….. or Boris!
and a good British family is murdered in France…….
oops so sorry, just realised they are not British.
anyone running a book as to whether the French police could detect a fart in a spacesuit?
At least they’ve still got policemen.
Yeah , the overweight muppets with walkie talkies that we have really suck.

I’m glad I went.
Come again pet ?
I’m glad your wet too.
Secretaries? Can’t they type for themselves?
Meanwhile, Labour’s small poll lead stubbornly refuses to get anywhere near the levels it should be mid-term if Labour are to improve on their 2010 seat totals next time. Let’s face it, the UK will have returned to growth by then.
There’s a tiny rumour going round that Ed Miliband may not be safe after all…
You must be mistaken- despite absolutely no evidence we know Cameron faces a stalking horse challenge and his position is under threat.
I heard it was a stalking donkey.
All they need is a stalking hamster.
Ed Miliband always was going to be a seat-warmer till the next election. The question would be how long Labour are willing to have him as the face of the Party, in preference to anyone else even less app*ealing, during their time in Opposition. He’s a goner in 2015 for sure, when he makes some sort of “I don’t want this to be about personalities” address in which he “confesses” he’s just been trying to keep pe*ace in the valley since the last election, so that it looks like he’s being a good Party man instead of trying to make a virtue out of necessity. (Lord Miliband, anyone?) If “One-foot-in-the-grave Dave” and “Knackered Nickers” are still a prickly pair going into 2015, and Labour have a real shot at taking the House of Commons with a clear majority, whoever they put up besides Ed M is liable to evoke, “Better a [less-than-desirable trait] than ‘Wallyband’ for the next five years” and it becomes a question of how soon before May 2015 this drumbeat starts.
9.9.9…..Hello, Emergency, what service do you require?…..DUEMA please.
hello,
The Economic downturn WILL CONTINUE ,there is nothing any so called politician can do about it ,nor the sun newspaper or police or army or monarcy or in fact anyone anywhere ,so all you fascict ass l–kers go and f–k yourselves for good (neo-cons in the usa and tories in Britain ,rightwingers averywhere!!!
There’s no money left.
There wasn’t even any coffee left.
Indeed “The Economic downturn WILL CONTINUE” until we balance the books and start paying off the national debit that Labour left us.
And until our crackpots stop wasting £6billion every year on the bent EU. Or does the British economy not need that £6billion every single year?
No, we need it more.
At this point, I sincerely believe it doesn’t matter what the politicos or global/central banks will or will not do. The debt-based monetary system that was created in 1971 is taking its last breaths. This system will collapse, although I don’t know whether it will be though hyperinflation or the first hyperdeflation the world has ever seen.
We have reached the point where the society as a whole can not take on any more debt, and since the amount of debt outnumbers the amount of money, the whole thing is over.
What’s concerning and very disturbing is to witness all the masses being completely unaware of what is going on. The main stream media have a lot to answer for in this regard. People actually believe the global and central bankers will fix this economic clusterfuck for them. Serously, how badly does one need to get screwed in order to understand?
According to a TV prog last night, China is up to its eyes in debt.
I was surprised at that. I thought they, and the Arabs, had all the money.
Stop worrying about that trivial financial nonsense. Could you please give us your views on Ginger Spice returning to the X Factor?
Do you mean Danny Alexander?
Dont forget Blister agent and Nerve gas only needs to be a pinhed to touch the skin and were dead
Official MOD figures
Yes it used to be the same with Whitbread Trophy.
Today’s buzz word is “Hyperglobalsocialmegapromise”
It means… erm..well..it means I get some more BBC airtime.
Gyimah will be great waving at traffic for Cambo; otherwise he ain’t much of a gimlet…………
We all need a flag waving piccaninny with a watermelon smile – don’t we Boris?
* Burnham Wood to Dunsinane Hill
Maybe Burnham Wood, but will they let him?
Did I miss anything?
Fully agree with SC on that – best thing he’s said in ages.
Oh, just some cuпt trying to whistle…
To simple simon – SC left himself wide open to that retort – no amount of simple simon’s can deflect from the fact that – SC was ‘bagged’.
No. You can go back to your slivovits safe in the knowledge that you’re up-to-date.
Živjeli!
Channel 4 News – what a buch of jumped up tossers.
Nothing new there.
Watch the BBC news. Much better.
Just a suggestion, why not two? – if funds allow.
What is all this fascination with bumsex?
It’s Conservative Party policy
. . . which continues the wondrous edyerkayshunal wurk of Phoney Bliar and his liberal progressive elite who all take and give it up the bum my dere – when they’re not shagging some socialist half-wit . . . oh wait a mo . . . you’re right, – it IS Con Pol. Coo-er!
Riddled with them…
I liked that pisture of you in shorts Ken
I would like to wish Team GB the very best of luck in the 2012 Olympics.
We’ve actually had a fair bit of success in what we set out to do.
How about you ‘Dave’?
I didn’t get booed at the medals ceremony today!
Why waste energy on a has-been? Saved all mine for the main event.
The Olympics were worth £10bn to see Osborne booed.
This QE money. Does it have to be paid back?
Nah – it’s worthless! Chuck it in the bin. We do.
So there’s no problem in me printing some of my own? As it’s Government policy.
no prob – just let me know how much so I can add it to my tally, – it’s all rubbish anyway – but it’ll look good on my CV, – and on yours too if you put it under ‘Projects I done on my own ‘nishtive’.
Thx
LL x
I hope not.
That’s our new strategy.
75% tax cuts
75% pay rises
£75,000,000,0000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 QE to pay for it all.
Money paid back? What does that mean?
“The universal credit programme is on course for disaster”
Sockpuppet – News.
Dorset’s sockpuppets at it again …. Politicians – they’re all in it together
http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/9919656.Leader_of_council_in_online_sock_puppet_row/
Why ARE politicians so thick?
Lets get one thing straight – they are not thick – they are by majority devious, manipulative, dirty, low-life, useless, never done a proper days work in their lives – ‘Controlled’ lobotimised [lobby-o-bottomised] Rsoles.
Why are Conservative politicians so thick?
Ugly
If you’ve seen that picture – we’re talking ugly…. leather hind based as well.
Where did it all go wrong?
HC banned anyone with a sense of humour. Lest we forget: He’d already fucked his own shitty blog to oblivion.
Is he a fat-fuck, Tory gayer then?
Need you ask? A picture is worth a thousand words.
Let sunshine win the day!
Well you won’t
Davey you twat – Is that a comment from where the sun doesn’t shine?
[Sun - Rupee / Shine Lizzy]
Well, it seems to have worked wonders for Brian, Boris. After another exhausting day in your company, petal, I dedicate this track to your “trouser snake”.
lol and, of course, laaughing heartily,
David x.
Time for bed.
PPS positions,do this lot get paid and if so how much?.
Boris for PM a long shot.
Liebour/Bliar/Prime Mentallist/Debt an absolute disaster for this country,as they were regarding unfettered immigrants into the country.
Ed Millicrap/Wavy Davy fortune seeking chancers,who frankly don’t know their arse from their elbow.
Ed Bollocks,the man who apparently does not know what debt is and how you get out of it,my message to the thick pillock is this:- STOP BORROWING AND START SAVING.
Now to the union fat cat overpaid underworked barons who are hell bent on disrupting the country.
One union achieved 27% of their members voting for action,hardly a massive vote was it?.
To all the unions on about strikes/civil disobedience,DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU WILL HAVE THE PRIVATE SECTOR ON YOUR SIDE SEEING IT IS THEM WHO ARE PAYING FOR YOUR PUBLIC SECTOR JOBS AND PENSIONS.
It seems to be the case that the Civil Service is becoming increasingly redundant with all these private advisers hanging around. So why do we need several hundred thousand pen pushers when a mere handful sitting in an outer office seem to have the business firmly under control?
I just flushed 50 pounds down the toilet and I became aroused.
I’ll fetch the plunger, dear.
I’ve never heard of these people. What do they do?
PPS’s are the way the Parties get to separate the ministerial-track wheat from the chaff, and then keep the chaff. If you’re dumb enough to take a position that pays you no more than your base salary but saddles you with all of the ethical responsibilities of a minister with none of the power, and tells you not to represent anything you say as official policy even if it is, since you ought not be dealing with the Press, and tells you you can never have a free vote on anything, you had better come from a constituency that would elect a dead dog if it wore your rosette (better still you were parachuted in), because who would want to vote for anyone who’d want to make themselves such non-entities saying, in effect, “Thank you Sir, may I have another?” all in the name of an “apprenticeship” to a position they may never get, right?
…in a nutshell..
Lefties hate the fact that the country is currently proud and happy.
What’s the point of Will Self?
I’m amazed the c u n t is still alive, the shit he’s shoved up his nose over the years
Too make us realise we arent as awful as that junkie twat
I’ve got my head up my arse.
I’ve been on the waccy baccy again !!!!!!!!
They’ll believe whatever we tell them to believe.
It is true Chukka (some people might laugh) but our unions have always been at the cutting edge of technology.
Who gives a flyin fuck , darlin ??
U all as mad as each other , isn’t u ?? x .
That why u made me go insane an that . Thx :- )
Readin ur bullshit has destroyed my noddle , ain’t it ??
Oh , well . Shit happens , I spose …… *wanders off for a tinkle* …..

How interesting.
Ha ha, gal. You won’t escape Figgley’s debt-collecting nose with that thin disguise, Ms. internet Poodle.
Must shift – vindaloos tend to fast-track, son.
This is sick and it shines a clear light on the evil that hides behind socialists and their bigoted holier than thou dogma – can you imagine the ‘outrage’ if those of the right did something similar for that complete and utterly useless and dangerous wrecker of the economy Gordon Brown???
Thatcher rebuilt and Gordon destroyed and yet………..

Ha ha, mate. Try getting a life outside your bedroom, sunshine. It doesn’t hurt….much.
What a ponce.
Must motor, blah…..quads…..school…uniforms….blah….books….etc…
You, sir, are Moronic lefty twat
Ha ha, son. Whatever. A little birdie tells me you like to put your wife’s panties on, after she’s left for work, mate.
We’re all in this together, geezer. Dig this:
I’ve, seriously, had enough of this bollocks. Nothing’s happening. You people get me down with your recycycled bullshit. You, and I, need to get a life. You can’t, but I must. The next, pointless, general election isn’t for another 32 months and I, deffo, can’t take 32 months of Steve’s filler.
Tinker thinks I’m funny and so do I. She heads for the litter tray whereas I just bung them in on 40c QuickWash.
Can I be arsed to play this game anymore? I think not.
Why did you ban “EWAN fucking ME”, FFS??
What a dork!! Madness!! She’s just going to go into “attack” mode, isn’t she?
You’re too fucking thick to see that though, aren’t you? Your problem, I guess. See you online again soon.
I reckon most pundits have it wrong.
The Liberals will not do a deal with any other party. They will expose the two main parties for the hypocrites that they are.
And the Lib Dems are not hypocrites themselves? They’re all in it together – to dupe the public en masse … wake up for mother natures sake and smell the coffee.
Come on Andy.
Looks like he is going to win. Is the curse of Jonah Brown finally laid to rest?
Sir Andrew Murray it is
Fuck off Sassanach I’m going to make him a Laird
You may keep him, miserable little git that he is.
Thanks, Fawkes, don’t bother updating that list
There’s oodles more lunacy that you’ve missed

I shall bow to public opinion and find safe seats for both Andrew Strauss and Andy Murray and bring them into the Cabinet.
Good Morning
You think you can just waltz away and make a mint like Blair, don’t you ?
Who gives a shit about these nonentities?
