It is late, you’ve had a few drinks, you tweet something you wouldn’t if you were sober. Been there, got the T-shirt. The Times columnist and TV food critic is in contempt of court. This is possibly Coren’s funniest work for ages…

N.B. A co-conspirator T-shirt is on the way to James Waterson for the tip.

Yesterday Rod Christie-Miller, the CEO of Schillings and the lawyer who has made millions covering up the truth for billionaires and celebrities, told Newsnight’s Emily Maitlis that Guido might get “a knock on your door and a long time in Pentonville” for revealing the truth. We shall see…

Here is Guido’s legal advice to billionaires and celebrities:

A lot cheaper and more effective than Schillings’ advice…

What did the law firm Schillings tell Ryan Giggs they would achieve for him? Did they tell him they would ensure his name would go around the world on Twitter as never before?*

Wasting their client’s money…

UPDATE: The floodgates have opened, mainstream US media is naming Giggs; Forbes Magazine and Conde Nast’s Ars Technica. US based Brit Nick Denton’s Gawker is mocking the injunction as well.

Simon Jenkins writes that loss of privacy…

“…is the tax that a free society imposes on celebrity. In the case of politicians it is an ordeal which they must undergo as the price of office.”

Lord Oakeshott, through a proxy, said in the House of Lords earlier:

“Would [the speaker] accept that every taxpayer has a direct public interest in the events leading up to the collapse of the Royal Bank of Scotland? So how can it be right for a superinjunction to hide the alleged relationship between Sir Fred Goodwin and a senior colleague? If true it would be a serious breach of corporate governance and not even the Financial Services Authority would know about it.”

In March Guido told you about it, but had to adhere slightly to the courts. Sorry if you couldn’t quite work it out:

“So there was this ****** bloke who worked closely with another ****** colleague, they apparently began an adulterous affair not long after the ****ing crisis of 2008. He went to Court to stop it getting out that he had been banging her. Because he is the most notorious ****** of his generation he also banned references to his profession lest he be identified.”

Well that went well for Fred didn’t it? Worth every penny…

In what must be a record, over 230 MPs have now signed Zac Goldsmith’s EDM in support of Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s ‘Fish Fight Campaign‘. The campaign aims to bring an end to perverse EU legislation which forces fishermen to dump millions of tons of dead stock back into the sea.

“A serving MP may have taken out a super-injunction preventing details of their activities being exposed” rattles the Press Association this afternoon. Guido is not sure if this is the very same injunction he was served with this March, but he can testify to it being true that at least one MP has an injunction out, because he has it. The Hon. Justice Tugendhat granted the injunction in March and a few years back the same claimants got Justice Charleton in Dublin to injunct Guido, on Christmas Eve. This did not please Mrs Fawkes…

The Irish injunction was dropped, Justice Charleton was unamused that the claimants had, shall we say this diplomatically, somewhat over-stated their case to his Court. Mrs Fawkes has however further injuncted Guido on this matter…

James Sturman, convicted fraudster and ex-MP David Chaytor’s QC, argued in the Court of Appeal yesterday that he could not receive a fair trial because of media scrutiny. The briefed claimed that the 18 month sentence failed to take into account the public vilification Chaytor had been subjected to in some quarters of the media, and particularly in the blogosphere.“Calls for his death, pictures of him mocked up being hung – it really was quite a horrendous time” said the silk.

The judge didn’t agree and refused to reduce the thieving bastard’s sentence. Oink oink!

Denis MacShane found no sympathy from the Labour hierarchy when it was announced that the Met was investigating his rather controversial expenses claims. He instantly had the whip removed and was hung out to dry. However that was the last we heard…

Since then he has slowly crept back closer and closer to the central hub of Labour MPs in the House and was sitting comfortably this afternoon with Chuka Umunna, Chris Byrant and Rachel Reeves. If he has been suspended, why do his former colleagues at best turn a blind eye, or at worst keep him in the fold despite the fact he has disgraced himself? It’s been over five months since his file was passed to the CPS…

Will Labour still be so welcoming if he goes to trial?

The second Tory peer charged with fiddling his expenses is due to enter his plea this morning at the Old Bailey. Paul White, the one time leader of Essex County Council said the claims for overnight stays in London, despite written evidence that he had travelled back to Essex, were in “good faith”. Like his fellow Tory Lord Taylor, Hanningfield  is expected to plead not guilty, so we will have to see what twelve honest men say about that…

UPDATE: Hanningfield was a no show, no plea entered. Trial in May at Southwark. Oink oink…
