As the judgement day approaches for the four MPs and two Lords facing trial, an FOIing co-conspirator makes a very valid point. Asking how much Lord Paul (£41,982), Bhaitia (£27,446) and Baroness Uddin (£0) have paid back to date, they were informed that no interest was added. The same logic must have applied to all the money from the fiddlers in the Commons, much of which is still being chased from MPs…

If the repayments, which were quiet admissions of guilt that no ordinary citizen could use as penance for a crime, do not include interest then surely the honourable Members and Peers have profited from their little “borrowings”?

In about half an hour this question from Tory David Morris MP will appear on the Order Paper for justice questions concerning the axe man John Hirst:

“To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if the Probation Service will (a) consider the compliance of John Hirst with the terms of his licence for release from custody and (b) recall him from his release on licence.”

The butcherer has openly admitted flouting his terms of release. Ken Clarke has bottom and should send the scum back to Her Majesty’s Pleasure…

Fresh from using the European Convention on Human Rights to give prisoners a right to vote – which will make plans for elected police commissioners farcical – Hirst is trying to organise prisoners’ associations.

He is urging convicts to set up “Prisoners Representative Associations” under Article 11 of the European Convention. Prison governors will, he hopes, be forced to facilitate such associations, guaranteeing free communication with prisoners on other wings, allowing the holding of meetings and elections. In other words: unionising criminals.

Unfortunately for the out-on-licence killer he has confessed on the Jeremy Vine Radio Show to breaching the terms of his licence (smoking dope). A formal complaint has been made to the police. It could mean Hirst will soon be able to organise his prison union from inside…

After axe-murderer and state-leech John Hirst was destroyed by Andrew Neil on the Daily Politics at lunchtime regarding votes for prisoners, Guido put the boot in on Jeremy Vine Show earlier this afternoon:

It’s not everyday you hear someone call for the return of hanging on the main-stream media, but after John Hirst’s gloating it’s the least he deserves…

Secondary picketing is illegal in this country. So why is the RMT turning out at the London Fire Brigade Union protest? Is Bob calling in the comrades?

Note the massive RMT banner…

It is interesting to note that 22 MPs are sponsored by the RMT including London MPs Dianne Abbott, Stephen Pound , John McDonnell and Jeremy Corbyn. Will there be a wall of silence from these normally outspoken MPs? What role is Bob Crowe playing in these strikes?

Labour’s ill-fated “Twitter Tsar” Kerry McCarthy has been found guilty and cautioned in what, as far as Guido can see, is the only recorded incident of Twitter Electoral Crime. McCarthy was reported to the police by the Sunlight Centre after being alerted by local constituent Michael Owen days before the election that she had leaked postal vote numbers in a get-out-the-vote bid. Normally a motor mouth, the Bristol East MP is surprisingly quiet today…

UPDATE : From the Bristol Evening Post website.

“Police have confirmed that they have cautioned a man and a woman – both from Bristol – following an investigation into alleged electoral fraud earlier this year under the Representation of the People Act 1983.”

Is it fair to suppose that the man was her agent.

They are appealing on the basis of parliamentary privilege – claiming that only parliament and not the Courts should deal with their case. They object to being treated like common criminals…
