Cause a political earthquake; oust the troughing Squeaker!

Hat-tip to Guido for this, which needs to be shared far and wide… Donate to Nigel Farage’s campaign to oust expenses-fiddling John Bercow from Parliament. Yes, the allegedly Tory, now allegedly neutral one with the wife who’s a Labour candidate for Westminster Council in the forthcoming elections… As Nigel says: “If I can topple the Speaker, I [...]

Labour MPs claiming legal aid to fight expenses claims (may) have to pay it back

Labour MPs on legal aid, I hear you cry? To fight the cases raised against them for fiddling expenses? I know, it’s absolutely unbelievable. Or at least it would be, if we weren’t being ruled one one of the most corrupt, despicable and totally immoral governments ever to disgrace the hallowed halls of Westminster. Gordon [...]

MPs for hire! £3000-£5000 a day. Grab yours now!

This scandal has already been covered all over the ‘net, so we won’t re-invent the wheel here. Suffice to say that the Times article is well worth a read. Our old friend Guido has an interesting slant on this, regarding Stephen Byers’ membership of the Privy Council. It is clear that his continued membership of the [...]

Elliot Morley (Labour, [...]

Shahid Malik; more front than Blackpool…

I really don’t know where to start with this one. For those of you who don’t know who Shahid Malik is, he’s been the Labour MP for Dewsbury since 2005.

Is this man too stupid to be an MP? (or what!)

I am indebted, again, to Guido Fawkes for this gem. Readers are heartily recommended to go and look at the video of an interview with Jim Devine. It is utterly, utterly staggering. The interviewer is sometimes stuck for words, he is so taken aback… Wikipedia says of Devine: Wikio Wikio

William Hague performs well in PMQs

William Hague destroyed Harridan Harperson today in PMQs (link to BBC iPlayer) where she was deputising for the Prime Mentalist. Vince Cable did a fair job as well. Watching HH was interesting, in a watching-paint-dry kind of way. She was poorly-prepared, wooden, perfunctory and lightweight.
