Lord Strathclyde Resigns – Full Letters
Having been in the Shadow Cabinet or the Cabinet since 1997, the leader of the House of Lords Tom Strathclyde has just announced his resignation. Apparently he wants to pursue other interests. You have to wonder why the change of heart given the recent reshuffle. Intriguing…
UPDATE: And the Dear Tom from the PM:
It may be the first day back at school, but odd to resign on relaunch day.
UPDATE II:
Lord Hill – the minister who tried to resign at the last reshuffle – now promoted by Cameron to the Cabinet in latest relaunch shambles—

Hill was bored of education, not life, if Guido remembers correctly…
Check his expenses…… or dodgy meetings…….

I’m not proud of sleeping with a married man,” she said. “But I feel Lord Strathclyde took advantage of me when I was at my most vulnerable and I feel betrayed.
“I’m talking about this now because I’m fed up of this Government’s hypocrisy and how they preach to us about family values.
“They make speeches about it yet, at the same time, a senior Cabinet Minister and friend of David Cameron is sneaking away from his wife to have sex with me.”
Eee bah gum, lass! That’s nowt! While I was bangin’ me secretary on me office desk, cheetin’ on me wife, like, t’whole Labour Party were busy bombing Iraq as part their like “Effical Forin Policy” like!
Talk aboot hypocrasy, eh lass?
*burp*
tha lad needs shooting, ah tha say – cakes wife, nar!
This chaps name is:
Thomas Galloway Dunlop du Roy de Blicquy Galbraith.
He is only 2nd Baron Strathclyde.
His name just takes up too much room.
Two years after she went to the press…
what who or other has he shagged now, ey?
I can hear you clearly.
Yawn.. Troll somewhere else.
Couldn’t you find a YouTube clip to accompany that?
twaaaats, of course I can, twonks
Yewtree?
Taxus baccata
Yewtree is now Yewfour
wow….who gives a fuck !!
Clearly not Dave, as he did not actually formally accept the resignation, merely wished him good luck in the future.
retiring to spend time with someone elses money.
Not retiring to spend more time with someone else’s wife?
I suppose I belong to that category with my pension, compo and benefits.
Yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
is this the only way a chap can get peoples’ attention these days?
Mice and ship comes to mind.
Cam .. Moron.. Hahn ahh ahh ha!
Did you see that everyone? Look… He’s taken Cameron and made it into Camer Moron
My sides have split laughing at that joke. What a brilliant bit.. You should be on the telly mate.. That’s a riot..I bet you is well funny.
Camer moron..ho ho ho..tears to eyes isn’t it. So funny..
You may laugh, but I think David Cameron was called ‘Camoron’ at school (and possibly beyond), and this caused considerable psychological damage which ultimately created the revolting arrogance he displays towards everyone today.
Rats, dear boy. Rats.
Any of you watch The Iron Lady last night? I particularly enjoyed the scenes showing Thatcher’s dementia.
Then you can look forward to dementia when you get it.
When? Obviously already has severe personality disorder
I liked it when she won three elections and labour imploded.
I hated the bit where she kept telling everyone to “Buy British” in order to promote British jobs. What a bigot. A much better slogan is “Outsource British jobs to India”, which is what I encouraged everyone to do.
may have seen it, but can’t recall it..
Tessa Jowell on Daily Politics. Stupid, thick, are words that spring to mind.
What about Tessa Jowell?
family values?
what price birgit?
What is it he has he resigned from?, not his position of privilege in the HOL all found and £300 pounds a day attendance money I take it?.
Vote Cameron, get Labour policies.
Maybe Lord Strathclyde can stomach the heir to Blair no longer.
Never understood why a Tory leader would want to be a Labour tribute act – as it turns out a third rate one at that.
Vote UKIP.
Hear Hear.
Looks Like Dave and Nick’s relaunch failed to gain Earth orbit then.

Could you please consider disabling the posting of embedded YouTube clips in the comments?
This feature is clearly being abused by a certain idiot to derail the discussions here.
Get you
Dear Tom
F**k off and take the other 742 with you.
I think they do an excellent job as a revising and scrutinising chamber.
In the immortal words of Spike Milligan
“What are we going to do now?”
Who knows, fuck nose.

sorry, couldn’t resist, sorry Charles/Carlo,
By the way have met HRH Charlie down my way, and I asked him if he didn’t mind me calling him Carlo, as he said feel free, and I did, and said to him feel free here also, and he bought a holiday home.
Talk about taking the piss?
Ad Lib. Just make it up, I do it all the time.
I believe in marriage, that’s why I believe in gay marriage, that’s why I believe in open marriage, that’s why I believe Tom can embrace marriage and shag unmarried women at the same time.
Relaunch ?
It’s more like a funeral.
Bring on the next opinion poll .
The computer in the school library is for study purposes only.
We can confirm that a taxi is on the way to “The Bunker” for David Cameron.
” it has been a particular pleasure to serve in Cabinet with you as Prime Minister “.
Why is that I wonder ?
‘Shagger’ Strathclyde now gone. Is there no end to Dave’s misery?
I like the rest of the Faux Tory party are 3 months ignorant
If it is really true that a Tory Cabinet Minister has been shagging a single mum it is truly disgusting .
What sort of impression does this give to our young boys and girls .
It is at times like this I dread to think how they will behave when they are grown up .
I thought with all that trouble with Ces Parkinson the party had put this type of behaviour behind it .
We have been cruelly let down.
Any rumours of me leaving her so she can still get family allowance are unfounded.
She’s no oil painting, but why would anyone shag a fat cun*t like him?
I just can’t take the hypocrisy any longer. Cameron you are Blair reincarnated
The BBC are now putting it about that Mr Cameron is going to “feel” Lord Strathclyde’s loss.
Is there any end in sight to the depravities we have to pay for ?
Am I taking Nick up the aisle again?
I trust this has nothing to do with the Ivory Coast.
Did someone say conflict diamonds?
Are there anymore hedge fund members left in the Cabinet?
Yes or no ?
Being in the Tory party is like the movie Highlander. There can be only one swordsman – and its gonna be me
A true swordsman needs many receptacles.
Lord Strathclydel’s misses, contemplating,
Let us get this right shall we.
You play rugby second row for your country having learned the words of the first verse of the national anthem backwards.
You take a few kicks in the groin for your troubles .
At 33 years of age your career is finished.
What does your country do for you?
It tells you to sling your hook!
Oh England, My England !
We have all got harping sad stories, my rugger friend. Rugger is a man’s game, and the kick in the nuts sadly is biggest when you are not as good as what is behind you. Fight of the fittest ol’ boy, that is what rugger is about.
Find another avenue, ol’ boy, I am sure you will – I can tell these things. Be well boring, but it will pay the rent, at least.
…and being what youve done, your main enemy is yourself – people out there will give you every chance to carry on with life now on, let me tell you that for nothing. You are battleing against youself, now. And it is a simple easily won battle, believe me. Just got to get over that hump in front of you.
Does matron know you are using the care homes computer again
