With Tesco posting a record breaking pre-tax loss of £6.4 billion, questions are being ask about where it all went wrong.
The trouble has been brewing for a while at the supermarket giant…
At the beginning of the month Tesco in Kirkcaldy shut their doors for the last time, with the loss of 200 jobs. It will save the company a million pounds per year, yet devastate an already blighted community. The local MP had led the campaign to keep the shop open. Doomed, I tell you, doooooomed.
You could not make it up. Despite no longer being an MP, Gordon is back and making outlandish spending claims in Scotland.
The former Prime Mentalist has told a Glasgow audience that Labour will spend £800 million more in Scotland to “end austerity”:
And here are the fantasy numbers:
That would be the tax on bankers’ bonuses that Labour have already spent 11 times:
Oh dear…
We have 2 classes of MPs in another sense too: those who do the job day in, day out – and those who only turn up when they want to speak

The back bencher Gordon Brown has spoken. The time limit goes on. This is how it works. #thevow

Gordon Brown speaking for 16mins on Scots Devolution debate – despite there being a 6 min limit. One rule for the few another for the many!

Gordon Brown speaking in chamber. Screen says he started at 14.32 and it is now 14.47 Screen also says 6min limit on backbench speech???

Sir George Young very witty at Gordon's expense- not all MPs are equal, "some allowed to speak for more than 6 minutes, some are not".

In the Scottish devolution debate. Two tier MPs? Gordon Brown has unlimited speaking time, other backbenchers limited to 6 minutes.

Two classes of MPs. Those who barely come to Parliament yet get unlimited speaking time. G. Brown. Other class of MP: everyone else.

Another stunning Gordon success.
Ed Miliband thanked just about every Labour member who knocked on a door for the Better Together campaign yesterday, everyone except one Gordon Brown. Surely Ed Balls would have a kind word for his old master? Speaking to Iain Dale on LBC, the Shadow Chancellor awkwardly admitted he hadn’t even picked up the phone to say ‘thanks’.
The poor old Prime Mentalist is nowhere to be seen in Manchester…
It is reported this afternoon that Big Six energy bad boys EDF have come out against Scottish Freedom:
“EDF Energy has warned that Scottish independence would herald massive uncertainty for the energy sector, accusing Alex Salmond of failing to answer a series of fundamental questions over issues such as nuclear waste. In a memo to the energy giant’s 15,000 staff – 1,200 of whom are based in Scotland – Vincent de Rivaz said those voting on Thursday’s referendum had “enormous responsibility” and warned the outcome “will affect EDF Energy and its employees”.
It will come as no surprise to regular readers that the EDF’s External Communications Director is one Andrew Brown – Brother of McDoom, the Former Prime Mentalist and self-declared saviour of the Union. Brothers in arms.
The former Prime Mentalist has hinted he may run in the Scottish Parliament to counter Alex Salmond’s perceived ‘lies’.
How many more jobs on the taxpayer does he want?
Does he realise he actually has to turn up?
Gordon for First Minister – what’s the worst that could happen?
