Do You Have a First Class Ticket Mr Osborne?
When the train with Osborne arrived the rest of us plebs were kept away by police and iron gates.
Guido managed to snap Osborne and his entourage being smuggled out of a side entrance.

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.”
Focus group time. says:
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.
He needs to get back on track after this.
He’s certainly gone off the rails.
Does Osborne declare these free upgrades for himself and his entourage from a company that tenders for government business and gets awards it loses overturned? How many free upgrades has Georgie enjoyed?
Another First Class prat.
Miliband is Premier League cock and thus not comparable to a Diadora level one like Osborne..
So what piece of really bad news is being buried by this stunt?
The Great Train Snobbery.
Winner!
MITCHEL HAS GONE
BREAKING NEWS
MITCHELL HAS GONE
BREAKING NEWS
Is that bleedin hammers fan Warren Mitchell or Mr lovely personality whip Mitchell?
Yes one and the same
Meanwhile…
You can’t have ‘Euston’ and ‘first class’ in the same sentence without the word ‘not’. Ye gods, what a monument to 1960s modern-movement crud.
Did the train stop at Birmingham New Street, the worst station on the network?
I always use that exit…and I’m pleb
a
Yes, I fully agree with whatever you were about to say….did you fall off your stool?
As long as he upgraded and paid for it OUT OF HIS OWN POCKET. Then thats it he obviously didn’t ‘pleb’ any one so hefty farts all round!
Bet it’s on his fuckin expenses before Monday
I’d have thrown the Hunt off the train, who does he think he is?
All those boys hanging around waiting to carry his bath chair all the way to Londinium, has he no respect?
Good byeee , good byeee wipe a tear Andrew dear from your eyeee
though it’s hard to part i know
i’ll be tickled to death when you go
good byeee , don’t cryee there’s another pleb standing byeee
so on your bike and use the side gate
au revoir toodle pip good byeee
“He’s paid quite a substantial sum; £160, I believe..”
No. He going to submit a claim to be reimbursed his costs of travel. This will be processed by clerks who enter it on databases, and whose conduct is managed down an elusive chain of command and management, all in accordance with a set of rules invented for and approved by MPs themselves.
He will pay nothing in the end. We, on the other hand, will pay a sum well in excess of his £160 ‘excess fare’.
I think Mitchell ought to sue the Police Federation, BBC inparticular and Ed Miilband for constructive dismissal.
This only happened because MPs are denied Zil lanes on railway lines. When the wonderful HS2 is built he will have a whole train to himself. Everything was better when British Rail had steam locomotives and state religion was compulsory.
Rees mog having a PR disaster on newsnight
said chancellor mixed up 1st with 2nd class
Mitchell—prob police leak
BBC only invite Rees-Mogg on because it reinforces their ‘Tories are not like us’ narrative
If I was Chief Whip I would assign a permanent Minder for Rees-Mogg because he could lose a General Election in the blink of an eye .
When we had that Consultant in from Monaco I thought he said to save the tax payer money the Government should bulk buy goods and services .
The real point about what happened on the Wilmslow to London train is that this Government does not have any coherent policy regarding train travel .
We had ‘gategate’ now ‘ticketgate’. This sort are often destroyed by their own greed and/or hubis
On the subject of expenses. If Osborne had got away with tavelling 1st class on a 2nd class ticket. What ticket price would have appeared on his expenses? Come on! we’re talking about dodgy, slithery customers here.
