Well you cannot 
accuse the LibDems of failing to pull out all the stops for Eastleigh. It now seems they have even taken to paying their few remaining supporters to make the journey to the frontline. “We can provide reasonable travel expenses, accommodation and £10 for food per day” they tell keen weirdy-beardy activists. If they lose and try to spin that the seat was not winnable after Huhne, remind them of this.

Ed Balls stretches credulity by claiming he isn’t ambitious…
“I would love to be part of Ed’s Labour government but what I do next for me is not an all-consuming passion. I’m more bothered, in a personal sense, about getting to grade 8 piano by the time I’m 50.”

First!
How stupid is Labour and Lib Dem’s mansion tax when people like Chris Huhne with 8 homes would not pay a single penny of it.
Sounds quite reasonable to me.
If Mansion tax applied to the collective values of properties held that would really collapse the housing market.
A lot of second home owners would be hit.
The mansion tax is there to set the precedent.
Once the precedent is set that assets owned by the individual & payed for with earnings that have already been taxed the political class will have a field day introducing new taxes & of course lowering the bar over time to catch more reveneue.
This is not fair taxation – this is extortion.
Lib / Lab / Con – no difference what-so-ever.
Vote Ukip
Mansion tax has not be imposed yet.
It likely will not be, until it is decided that the housing bubble should be collapsed.
That may happen naturally later in the year anyway following the gilt collapse. This is the main reason why they are already talking about lowering the threshold before the tax is even in place.
Yep – thin end of the wedge.
Instead of spending less the political class has found a way to keep on spending like the drunken moronic socialists they are.
Clegg, Cameron and Miliband out.
Hear hear!!
Out with the traitors, off with their gold plated pensions, hang draw and quarter their expenses.
And breaking news, a pile of slime looking suspiciously like a Notting Hill backbone with traces of beetroot smoothy on it have been found on a riverbank. Calls to CaMoron have failed to illicit a sensible response.

If houses were more affordable it would make the market slower?
You are not describing a market you are describing a ponzi scheme (kept going with taxpayers money)..
Actually we are quite in favour of such as scheme, which should also apply to portfolios, but not abroad, extracting money from tenants over there is subject to their income tax regimes anyway. We believe in assets-based taxation (that is fairer) compared to income based taxation. Don’t you love it when St Vince is listened to at last!
‘A lot of second home owners would be hit.’
..and a lot of BTL landlords, enabling the young to reenter the housing market as landlords wound down their portfolios. By accident and ineptitude they may have stumbled on quite a good idea.
Why don’t we charge rich people more for bread and milk ?
I’ll tell you why because it wouldn’t be fcuking fair.
So why should we charge ‘rich’ people more for council services with this bonkers mansion tax…
Socialist politics are the politics of envy and confiscation.
Grow some b0llocks, if you want to put taxs up, put income tax up. Don’t beat about the frickin bush.
LibLabCon are fiddling while Rome burns…. we have a budget deficit of £120 billion per year…..
This tax raises £2bn and then gives it away in the 10p tax rate.
So zilch, zero, nadda help to the deficit…
Why are the LibLabCon piss1ing in the wind with this nonsense.
Big cuts to welfare and big increases in taxs will be necessary, don’t let the 3 idiot parties spin you otherwise.
For starters save £10bn and leave the EU, ditto £12 bn on overseas aid.
Make all public sector pensions contributory immediately, govt will only match employees contributions up to 7.5% of salary, like any other normal pleb employee, no exceptions for anybody.
It’s time for change and to be rid of these useless selfish spineless troughing traitorous bast@rds.
Con Artist has all of the politically unacceptable ideas leaving the EU, the biggest market on the planet which per se is the only way to halt the annual deficit sustainable.
Zeitgeist
1) the EU is less than 50% of Uks trade
2) much of this 50% trade is subjet to Rotterdam effect, ie sent to EU, then straight out to rest of world.
3) more than 50% of Europes trade is with the Uk, we are their biggest market…
4) if we leave the EU, like Norway and others who are members of the EFTA we can still trade with the EU.
5) china is not in the EU and sells more to Europe than we do
So, why don’t you rack those tiny liberal socialst brain cells of yours which are adicted to the politics of envy and confiscation, and think of another way to cut the deficit which doesn’t involve taxing other people’s hard earned income or assets…..
I’ll give you a clue – c u t. s p e n d i n g y o u. F c u k I n g. M o n g
Stupid ? Don’t you mean shrewd ? Hahahahaha !!
Rat on a stick anyone?
No thanks. .
I prefer a
good smidgen of tortoise and hedgehog in my beef burger.
Gives the. ” meat ” the impression it has been left hanging for a few weeks to get good and rotten to further salivate the taste. Buds.
What? Have all the albatrosses been eaten already?
Dear Chris will soon have a 9th home and what’s more he will be living rent free in it.
Let’s hope it is a long-stay residence.
GBP 10 is hardly enough for a horse burger with fries.
Bucket of muesli?
Not Min Wage
THIS IS SLAVE LABOUR !!!
What do the Cons pay then they have loads a money
Actually less.
Not Min Job!
It must be like a day trip for those in the care in community programme
“Paying”? Covering somebody’s expenses isn’t really paying them…
I guess this is much like how Guido “pays” his interns.
Massa Murdoch pay me two dollar a day, AND he let me sleep on the stable flo’!
But he let you sleep with his sheep!
Have the jury returned their verdict yet?
Nope. Still deliberating.
It’s a good sign for her – she’ll get off.
It might mean they have improved the catering at the Old Bailey.
Come on Chris, come to papa.
Lib Dem Activists the “Forlorn Hope”
Exclusive: Lib Dem GBP 10 food expenses shocker Cameron ‘visits’ food bank.
Did he make a deposit?
Hurry up,jurors,the suspense is killing me.
Dearly Beloved,
What the fuck are they playing at?
In the name of The Father, and of The Son, and of The Holy Spirit.
Amen.
The Reverend Clink tries on his black wig in front of the mirror again.
They cannot be hurried, however no news if the judge has directed that majority is fine rather than unanimous.
This is their first full day of deliberations. Probably only just finished reading through the bundles and discussing. 3 days of summary is a lot, so could expect them to take a few days.
They had a full day on Friday, too! It was Thursday when they retired after lunch, if I am not mistaken.
No. There were no proceedings on Friday.
Oh! My mistake. Why should that be? It was not a bank holiday?
Lack of courtroom faclities at this major crown court and/or presiding judges. He really should have settled for the local hampshire one, they always get a few rocket docket judges (quick) there.
Does this breach election expenditure rules ? I thought ‘buying’ elections was outlawed ?
No you get an expenses allowance. How you use it us up to you, manpower is best, but can’t say national Lib Dems have got the time this being a busy February for ordinary folk.
Me and my mates get a few quid (tax free of course, doesn’t have to be declared), a free t-shirt and a good day out at at all these “protests” and other “rent-a-mob” events we attend. Better than working I can tell you!
Keith Vaz and Danny Alexander working on health policy:
I am not lib dem worshipper but I will go for a laugh.
There’s something just a wee bit anti-democratic in having to bribe people into electioneering for you. Desperate and grubby springs to mind.
That’s what we do with the voters. Only, the Conservatives never actually pay the bribes they’ve promised. I don’t know if that makes them worse or better.
In our call centers we audition. We then allow the best hockey Mums $20 per call. Or $20 per successful home visit. We call it community spirit. Don’t you love the U.S.!!!
Ah! Cara:

Ah Cara. Just my type. |Do you want to come for a little ride in my Range Rover? Boaz

Yecch!
Maybe not for you. But it is her character, independence and jest for life which I admire rather than the cruder aspects of sexual attraction (from which I do not claim to be immune.)
These qualities run in her wider family, as I can readily attest, having met several members before she was even born.
This is just the start of the price the LibD’Hunts will have to pay for propping up tory scum.
Even before regime change, when all the liblabcons will be dealt with.
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Manuel !?! Are you trying to force communism on the people of Europe again ?
I thought we had spoken about this before. Bad Manny. ** slap / crying **
Now go to your room young man and clean it. No dinner or xbox tonight.
I’ve written a book called, “101 Ways To Revive The High Street”.
It’s available on Kindle from next Monday.
Size and Ed Balls are synonymous.
Neither of us counts.
Pay more money, £65,000 is too low for most single mums to set up a brothel and men to run a hareem. What the hell do they think the money is going to do to stop some sort of sly non-class based but “qualifications test” persisting. It’s always going to be about some form of intelligentia, Long May it Last. Let it Be!
“Size” is a what results when mixing flour and slightly too much water. Also known as wallpaper paste (used for sticking useless stuff like politicians to walls).
Last Saturday UKIP had over 90 supporters turn up to help – all pro bono!
In very generalised terms if you have loads of kids making it impossible to work you get given a house and a stash of cash each month
If you work and have no kids you have to pay more tax the harder you work
Why is this?
It’s what’s commonly well known as Sod’s Law
And it’s all that the LibLabCons are for
Parliament lacks any other real skills
Apart from borrowing to pay its bills
Because it buys votes from those simpletons greedy enough to sell them.
Someone’s got to stop the human race from dying out.It’s called reproduction. All the biological species are at it, you know.
Because. The pram faces rule and the political system is fucked.
Inshallaaaaaaa
What accommodation are they providing? Huhne’s old home ?
Let us hope many more make a speedy appearance in Eastleigh
No-one believes in the LibDems any more. They need to buy their support.
Pathetic. Not like the Labour lot which make use of public sector pilgrim trade unionists whose commitment to the cause of social justice is so great they would be prepared to see the poor sent to prison for not paying the taxes that pay their wages.
Most poor don’t end up in the nick, and least of all of tax evasion. Most of the Labour won money was expended on pet projects such as heavily endebted sector revamps and welfare, the likes of which the country has never seen since WWII. And probably never wants to return to.
What if an enraged voter delivers a good thrashing?
Are supporters medically insured against bashing?
Or will there be posses of Liberal vigilantes
To check the N H S feeds them and changes their panties?
Better check they have “meals on wheels’ notified. People I know used to call this service ‘muck on a truck’. Must have been during the Labour cost cutting years I suppose.
Any good word from the court of Mr Justice Sweeney?
He hasn’t had his supper yet.
Aww Guido, that’s adorable. Liberal Youth has been paying expenses for its members to campaign for years. Slow news day in the office? Run out of dodgy gay slurs to throw against William Hague?
As previously mentioned this is ONLY for Liberal Youth , the rest of us get there under our own steam (and cost)…in fact I was there on Saturday along with over 300 others…most days have seen these sorts of numbers turning up.
Yeah, like that ridiculous story of him sharing a hotel room with his right hand man to save costs… An awful smear
Are you sayng that if your lot had any activists they wouldn’t get lunch?
£10 more than others.
£10 a day …. that will feed a family of Romanians for a week
Not when they arrive in Kensington and Chelsea or Westminster and decide that’s where they want to live and ask where there 6 bed houses are.
But we can’t cap welfare, it’s not FAIR!
But £10 a day is beyond dreams of avarice for the average Lib Dem supporter
Clearly you don’t get out much. Lib Dems are generally awash with cash for pet projects, all they require is a little temptation. Not that we are fickle. Well maybe a little lithe and fickle in government.
The Libidiots are destroyed by any reasonable measure, they are but a footnote in the history books now.
The party of lost deposits and lost soles who alienated the country.
‘lost’. Is that the word you meant to type?
Last Saturday UKIP had over 90 supporters turn up to help. No payments necessary.
Isn’t the basis of this story an offer to help Lib-Dem youth and students meet their travel costs?
‘youth’ should be out looking for a job; and ‘students’ should be hard at work studying, not making up the usual unwashed rent a gob collection.
Youth of today eh? Hanging out on streets, delivering leaflets, engaging in the democrat system of election campaigning… disgusting! Prison’s too goo for ‘em!
PS: Most have jobs and study hard, but volunteer in their spare time.
My local LibDem MPs – Hunter and Stunell – paid tens of thousands of pounds of their office expenses into LibDem coffers. Could I see what the money had been spent on I asked? Apparently not:-
