In his slow-motion train-wreck leadership interview on Sunday, the over-coached yet under-prepared charisma by-pass known as Adam Afriyie boasted of the “efforts of my team around me.” This team presumably includes the media advisor he was putting feelers out for recently. Well he might want to sack whoever advised him that it would be fine to shut his eyes during a photoshoot for an interview. The front cover of this week’s Total Politics looks ridiculous.

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.”
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.
The eyes don’t have it
the nose to the left.
Looks like he’s playing with himself… mmmmm…. 10 Downing Street… Yeah Baby!
This is pathetic, similar to the house of cockroaches.
the backcombed Teddy Boy look is all the rage in Spring 2013 season.
I’m Irish me – like the fat kosher p*ki, Guido.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Is that chukka without shaving the head ford fortnight?
chukka us another afriyer on the barbie brillo old sport.
NO ….. It’s Chukka with a badly fitting toupe’ — but all millionaires are stingy on the tonsorial front ,, just look at Sinatra and Berlusconi.
.. and some floppy haired cvnt named Hew…
Snoozing on the job ? Sweet.
He wanted to concentrate on his tribal scar.
..us..
One of the Peckham massive.
Ee! Aye t’lad will go far!
The ‘total politics’ above the restful persona.
Classic.
Future of press regulation ?
Why is Guido hatchetting this man?
Why not? He’s a politician
and twat.
That is a rare combination
Only 650 known to science
I can replicate them in a petri dish but only in Westminster do they really fester
This is terribly exciting and has to do with things only I understand. That will be £5000.
oops missed out Winston! That will be a further £500.
I did wonder the same thing.
Junior back bench nobody for nowhere gets another kicking.
Has he upset the real pretenders to the throne?
Look at his forehead, he’s not the first
Boris’s cock gone flaccid?
More of a sleeping giant than Boris will ever be.
Guido likes Bojo. Ho Ho!
I don’t remember having a nap
He’s not the new Obama. He hasn’t even mentioned quadrupling the national debt.
The real new Obama is Chukka. There’s a man who knows how to spend.
He’s probably troughing millions already now the press have been muzzled.
Chucky seems to be the “chosen one”, he seems to be on every tv channel, rather reminds me the original chosen one, St Tony the Bliar before the other fella popped his clogs, he was the same every tv channel, ready with comments on everything.
Well, just in case it ever comes in useful, Chucky rhymes with an adjectival word meaning to fornicate.
‘Is he dreaming of being PM ?’
I know a joke about dreaming
That’s cool. But that is also what is written in yellow (??? I know it is meant to help sell, but that is coward / lib dem color), beneath the crop above.
I know a song
So do we.
So do we
Guido, may I suggest a volunteer army to make vexatious, nitpicking complaints to the new Press Gauleiter, against publications that have supported state control of the press?

Yes, give him to us as leader! Adam Afriyie is today’s John Travolta, or Chukka Umunna, we love them! xxx
Is this all about Gay Marriage again ? …
I propose that we all look at all MPs personal webites and tweetings and report them the second they misbehave.
Leveson left the tweeting people off his hit list, I wonder why?… Fatson!.
Now now! He told us all quite forcefully that he needed no lessons in free speech; he really didn’t, you know. Really!
A lot of people don’t know him from Adam, if you will.
At the rate he’s going, they’ll know him all right, but probably not as he would have hoped. But when you start doing a lot of media to “up” your recognition numbers, just remember this fable, Adam: “One day, a scorpion wanted to cross a stream, and met a frog…” You probably think you’re going to be the scorpion– but you’re really the frog– get used to it.
Dear old Adam is behaving just like Michael Portillo did when he was planning a leadership challenge. Afriye is showing the same lack of backbone. He hasn’t got what it takes to be a party leader – at least, not one that would connect with the hard pressed public.
And what happened to Portillo? Reduced to taking the BBC’s shilling.
… and being compressed on a sofa by Fatbotty! Some people really do get the shitty end of the stick…
Rather interesting that Lilith left Adam because he was too bossy… liked his own way, perhaps his eyes were shut to what was going on around him.
Who is Lilith?
And thus is starts: the bully boys and authoritarians try to silence journalists, critics, bloggers and anyone else who wants to inform the public of what they are up to.

Quentin Letts look out they’re coming for you!!
I knew it would end like this.
So Sheridan doesn’t believe his constituents have the right to read about debates and decisions in Parliament?
Is this some kind of joke?
Sheridan’s another whinging Jock Labour M.P. who probably knows all about the skeletons in Scottish Labour’s cupboard.
Just how many new Obamas can British politics take?
We can’t even stomach the old one.
Agree – far too many Irishmen in our political life…
Cyprus vote for stealing bank deposits imminent.
Main party will be abstaining. If they do that should guarantee no vote.
EURUSD @ 1.2899 : Wow.
Oh: Gold at $1612 / oz as well. Euro Bye Bye ?
Euro is falling off a cliff.
Rumor: 20 abstentions, 36 no.
Not final yet though.

Why is Guido attacking this man? I didn’t think his interview on the Sunday politics was bad.
How many U-turns has Cameron done? I’ve lost count.
Buy a new abacus then.
A ‘charisma by-pass’, come on Guido, Adam is charming and is one of the very few MP’s not implicated in the expenses scandal. Save your vitriol for those deserving of it ,eg career politicians wet behind the ears who don’t know what it’s like to work in the real world. Is this an attempt at character assassination? and by whom?
“… career politicians wet behind the ears who don’t know what it’s like to work in the real world… ”
… you mean the entire front benches of both parties?
Are Adam and Chukka related?
Yes they are both in my most “full of perfect appearances” in the Guardian, Murdoch Empire and BBC. Fortunately empty and meaningless when it comes to new ideas.
Dear Guido
Why dont you like him? He’ll only be a stalking horse for Mrs May. Do you think the Conservatives can win with Dave?
Regards
The 46
*** Not News according to the msm – so don’t read all about it ***
The msm will not be reporting a huge rally / protest in Trafalgar Square this Sunday 24th March 2:00 to 5:00 pm because it is a rally for marriage between one man and one woman. The msm won’t mention it just as they didn’t the one million people rallying in Paris on the same subject a few weeks back.
The bumbandits appear to have taken over the bloody msm …
How many will attend? About 25 I’d guess. And a lot of them will be Catholic kiddy fiddlers.
Its about the majority 99% of decent law abiding moral members of the public asserting their will against the 1% of the militant politicised homosexuals.
I wish this geezer or anyone would hurry up and get Dave voted out before the sh1t really hits the fan.
who is behind this trainee fuckwit as he is certainly not doing this on his own ?
I live round the corner from Afryie’s constituency HQ – tatty building that could do with a lick of paint.
Just as a suggestion, what about an entire new building with new PFI contract charged to the party over the future. Why would we want to put poor prisoners and unemployed to work, much better to bring in a friendly construction firm isn’t it? Perhaps the party could then simply take a 1% cut on dead members funerals. That is the way these things always worked under Brown.
WCA owns the ground floor office only, hardly a constituency building!
If he gets Jemima on side the path will be smoothed …
He’s not the UK’s Obama that he thinks he is.
Perhaps marginally better than his predecessor who had to repay £90,000+ he had claimed. He got found out early but was no doubt setting a TREND.
