Hodge the Dodge v The Shadow Cabinet
Last week Guido noted how question-dodging Margaret Hodge was at odds with Chuka Umunna over his use of a £20,000 analyst from PricewaterhouseCoopers. Despite Hodge having worked for the company herself in the past, she suggested that PwC should no longer be given government contracts due to their collusion in “aggressive tax avoidance”. Unfortunately for the chair of the Public Accounts Committee, her shadow cabinet bosses have failed to adopt such a noble position.
In the latest Register of Members’ Interests Ed Balls declares that he has taken on a PwC analyst until March next year, with their £88,060 wage paid for by the company. The left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing…

MPs’ expenses: Culture Secretary Maria Miller’s £90,000 claims for parents’ home
A Cabinet minister claimed more than £90,000 in taxpayers’ funds for a second home where her parents lived, The Daily Telegraph can disclose.

Unemployed single mother on benefits who spends £2,000 on Christmas with 20 presents for each of her children
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2246104/Unemployed-single-mother-benefits-spends-2-000-Christmas-20-presents-children.html
I work full time and yet can only afford a budget of 200 quid, for all the family’s presents. FFS, why do I bother working???
Well most taxpayers believe that their hard earned money will prevent pensioners form freezing to death, but alas the government’s priorities on spending do not include anyone that might not survive until the next election.
Unemployed, single parent, woman and non-white. This woman knows how to milk the PC brigade for all its worth. She is a protected species – and I bet that Polly Toynbee would do a grand job of telling us all why this person has the right to such a life, whilst Owen Jones tells us its all my fault for being white, male, and living in a patriarchal society….(even though Owen is one himself…..)
Owen is lots of things. Wanker being one of them
Wanker indeed!
Have you ever considered that Owen Jones might be throwing his hat in the ring to win the BBC’s ‘Spurts Personality of the Year’
You’re quite right, it’s your fault completely. And mine. Meanwhile in other news that can’t be discussed, that’s also our fault. Discussion has been censored so completely that no one can discuss it.
So I have nothing to say.
Now she is fully qualified too be come an MP..good luck to her..
Can you tell who it is yet?
Hodger the Dodger

The well known right wing political blogger,Guido Fawkes warned on Monday that too many countries were trying to weaken their currencies to offset the impact of the slow global economy and the trend could grow next year.
“You can see, month by month, the addition to the number of countries who feel that active exchange rate management, always to push their exchange rate down, is growing,” Guido Fawkes said in a speech.
Labour the party of the credit card is all over the place. If there isn’t a bandwagon they are completely lost.
Margaret Hodge must find it all so taxing.
were all in it together
We all have two left hands in the Labour Party.
At least one of them is in the public purse.
Ha! Ha! Hodge the Dodge….. excellent name.
P.S. That nickname logic gives arise to….. Chukka the f*cker
Chukka is a posh name. Means half time in horse hockey innit.
Not in Nigeria. He’s an Igbo.
We’re not in Africa anymore Toto…
An Ig-bore-ameous?
Umuna the tumour.
You got any more scary pics I can threaten the kids with?

Interesting that PWC are aligning themselves so closely with Labour.
They work on the equation
Big government=Fat contracts for us
PWC just fined 1.4 mill for not adding up J P Mogans books.
…and PWC under investigation again for similar ‘Black-hole’ methodolgy wrt RSM Tennon.
Labour’s Ed’s are obviously in preparation for ananother administration of honest endevour.
If you need someone who’s an expert on black holes, George Osborne is your man.
And what about the Culture Secretary Maria Whatshername and her £90,000 as reported in this morning’s Telegraph?
And which, in this case, is which hand?
And why is the fact that Labour couldn’t organise an orgy in a brewery news in any sense?
What next – Pope is a Catholic shock?
I know what my right hand is doing.
So do I!
Now if you were in isolation training for a stay on the International Space Station it would be referred to a ” self massage “.
We love Dave and will definitely vote for him at the next election. Gay marriage is so lovely and we all like dressing up.
We must push harder for more anál sex.
We are going to make it mandatory in the UK to be homosexual or lesbian.
Only transexuals will be exempt.
The word “homosexual” is now taboo. You must say “same-sex”, as in “same-sex marriage”. It’s OK to say “heterosexual”, though; that doesn’t need to be euphemised since it doesn’t describe perversion.
Oi! don’t leave out the bisexuals.
didn’t Boris provide bisexuals for riding round London?
What about bi-sexuals like me?
Everybody should be allowed to follow their bi-cycles!
.
Come off it Dave, we all know which side of the fence you’re on.
Delicious!
Cleggy and I find sitting on the fence gives us the biggest thrill.
eton fag.
Faggot, if you don’t mind!
Who in their right mind would pay Balls £88,060:00 certainly a waste of money, would never employ PwC.
No, they haven’t employed him! FFS, who would? No, they’ve plonked someone in his office and PwC are footing the bill. I think it’s money well spent. “Sit in his office til March, and learn how not to run a nation’s finances.”
Balls offers the sort of experience that money can’t buy.
Balls offers the sort of experience that no person in their right mind would want to know, and certainly not experience.
Long may he be in the Liebor party front bench as such incompetence should not go unrewarded.
The £88,000 will be recovered by PwC from their paying clients, who will in turn pass on the cost, eventually, to the few remaining poor bastards who actually work for a living.
I’m not so sure PWC’s “paying clients” are all that happy either

My private office is financed by the Sugar Daddy of All Sugar Daddies who opf course has never had any government contracts
Lord Oh Sugar Sugar himself
“Name of donor: Lord Sugar of Clapton
Address of donor: private
Amount of donation or nature and value if donation in kind: £50,305 staffing costs”
No possible conflict of interest here
And, of course, he is one of us…
No one can resist me…
I think you are misinterpreting the pic. I think he has his hand where he oughtn’t.
Could be the other way around?
The policies Parliament espouses
Could have been spawned only in madhouses
As complete cock-ups, every one a gem
It’s the fairies who’ve been advising them
I want the right hand to be slipping a ring on the left hand of his partner *tear to eye*
Under the Same Sex Marriage legislation, the groom and groom will be required to slip rings on to each others cocks at the same moment, witnessed by the assembled guests.
It’s not the hand upon which the gay groom slips the ring
They will be wearing rings on the left hand silly, when its all legal and they can marry anywhere anybody else can.
You really do need to keep up with my destruction of the UK culture
Tell me again Dave, how will “consummation” factor in your Same Sex Marriage legislation?
Consume means to eat.
Simple
*wipes mouth*
KY Jelly shares and sales going through the roof.
No surprise the manufacturer is Johnson & Johnson.

Agenda: Should the Gay Marriage proposals by a Pink Paper to highlight their importance?
Ministers and Officials are hereby instructed to drop all other commitments to attend to this Top Priority Item.
“Boys expect girls to have shaved pubic hair because that is what they are… seeing in porn” – http://bit.ly/VwAz3M
“…And what we found is hard reading for parents.”
Never mind shaving. Many Mozzies mutilate their girls. Dave and the Beeb don’t have much to say about that.
Sad and disgusting, but true
When I have finished boys will expect girls to have cocks
Their LB GT school teachers will be required to demonstrate to girls the correct use of strap-ons in my gay paradise.
hairiest hymen mp
Porn these days is mostly shit due to the shaven haven trend. I suppose it appeals to p****s who like their women to look like pre pubescent girls but it’s a no from me.
I look lovely when I have had my crack, sack and back done
Will somebody please ask George Michael to apply to marry in Westminster Abbey. Elton to write the hymns of course. Dave as best man.
After ‘Candle in the Wind’ hysteria, will the church object to ‘ Don’t let the son go down on me!’

I would suggest to Hodge that she should pay to HMRC an amount equal to the reduction in the dividend that she would have received from Stemcor if they had paid a “moral amount of tax.”
She should also set-up a moral tax department at HMRC. First step would be to deem subsidised food and booze to be a benefit in kind and tax it appropriately.
George Orwell would be impressed.
Easier to just stop subsidising it; that way you don’t need another 400 person department to monitor it all.

Ed Miliband is a nasal gonk.
That’s a fact.
The Milishambles Christmas Card got me thinking.
While I am absolutely certain that Ed is from another planet I am not convinced that he brougth Justine with him and there is a chance she is an earthling. If that were to be true it would mean that the two poor unfortunate children are the first ever product of breeding between an earthling and an alien.
This of course might not be true if John Redwood has kids but there is added spice in the case of the Milshambles as we do not know the identity of their home planet whereas Vulcan is already well known to Trekkies everywhere.
Actually Guido
My analyst paid by PWC analyses ther stock market for us
To make all our investments prosper
We are truly New Labour you know
And our Great Leaders Blair and Mandelson taught us that we should get filthy rich while saying how much we are concerned about all those CHAVs…
PS Eddy is already a millionaire and just look at his brother David Millie who takes large bungs regularly from foreign governments…cor blimey…
2011 Census: England and Wales population boosted by immigration.
Including all those in ‘beds in sheds’ ?
I very much doubt it.
Speaking of Quangos, whatever happened to the “bonfire” ? Has it been lit yet ?
Ed Miliband wagers David Cameron a ‘knee in the groin’ that The Tories won’t win the 2015 General election.
With the amount of seedy,self serving, political elites,who are blatently abusing their positions,purely for their own agenda and personal enrichment,
i say we need more operations like Guido’s site and more investigative journalism as a matter of urgency.
This is the reason “they” want to shackle the press with law.
Today “they” want to introduce ,The collection of our data and storage under the reasons of terrorism!! A Big Brother,blanket approach.It all seems strange,to gradually erode hard won freedoms just because of the digital age.
Ever thought that politics in the UK is just one big wind up. What can we get away with today.
Look at the laws they are making. Car park attendants can access full records of anyone they “suspect”. Home address and name. But no record of the accesses given to the owners. Harbour authorities (undemocratic) can make up laws in 28 days that result in criminal action, and you have to pay to see the laws. Property can be seized by charities.
It all smacks of a government that is not allowed to actually create general laws and instead is creating the means for mini-dictatorships ruling local UK facilities.
Same hypocisy as Guardian, which rages against avoidance and reportedly uses off-shore hedge funds, all legally of course
They are buying influence.
Is this the same party which governed Britain from 1997-2010 and failed to collect corporation tax from Google, Starbucks and other multinationals for over a decade?
Puts a new spin on fiscal incompetence, anther fiscal Omnishamballs# from Brown, Byrne, Balls, Darling, Ussher, and Blair.
Owt for nowt, again…
Tories going to the wall and all Dave talks about is marriage for bumchums. Thus lot won’t last. The whole tax the rich thing is bent too – Govt/HMRC design and operate the tax system so if they’re not collecting enough its their fault. Rich pay their fair share? …which always happens to be more when the government has led us into the Khazi.
And effing third world train service.
