WATCH: Huhne’s Downfall In His Own Words
He Lied and Lied and Lied
“Are you going to resign Mr Huhne?” Well, yes.
“Are you going to resign Mr Huhne?” Well, yes.
The entire Guy Newsroom team is in Court 3, Southwark Crown Court. Hopefully we will have won the right to live tweet from Court…
Guido’s counsel has just got back to us following our application to lift reporting restrictions in the Chris Huhne case – currently we are unable to report anything other than the bare bones of the case – the “not guilty” plea from Huhne and that the trial proper starts Monday.
We argued that we should be free to report the proceedings and tweet from the trial starting Monday. The CPS told the Court they had no problem with reporting restrictions being lifted. The position now is that unless the defendants object on Monday, reporting restrictions will be lifted. If they do object, we will fight them…
Many thanks to Donal Blaney at Griffin Law and Matt Richardson (with junior counsel Kabir Sondhi) at Henderson Chambers for successfully representing Guido, again…

Judging by this now deleted tweet by DECC minister Greg Barker, news of Chris Huhne’s trial has spread quickly around his old colleagues:

Huhne could have told Barker a thing or two about accidentally tweeting direct messages…

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.
