Iain Dale and others are reporting that David Laws has gone. One thing: if true, it is important to establish the precise reason for his ‘resignation’ (sacking by Cameron). Having said that, it is also important to establish what were not the reasons too. For instance, certainly not the reason would be the one David [...]

Who Will Fire David Laws?
Posted in cameron, clegg, coalition, conservative, expenses, liberal democrats, resignation, scandal on 28/05/2010 | 4 Comments »
Shaping up as a half-decent, expensively-educated, millionaire Chief Treasury Secretary though he might have been, I’m awfully sorry, but David Laws’ political arse is grass. He can’t argue the case for public spending cuts when he, apparently, has been pretty happy to sponge off the state on behalf of his partner for the longest time. [...]
Brown’s "Cack-Handed Incompetence" : So It Begins…
Posted in Brown, challenge, crisis, Labour, leadership, resignation on 18/10/2009 | 5 Comments »
Stalking donkey horse – outspoken Brown critic, Barry Sheerman The countdown to Brown’s exit, that is. Barely has the dust settled from the Czech cave-in over Lisbon and the torrent of Labour-sourced, anti-Brown briefings has begun. Already, for instance, this morning’s Times has a front page village report that our useless and unwanted Prime Minister [...]
Brown Reduces The Deficit

No, not with the ridiculous panic measure that is the £16Bn (plus or minus £13Bn) fire sale of a few assets, but by being forced to pay back 13 large of taxpayer readies that he, the Prime Minister no less, has troughed. Meanwhile, as the pound begins to plummet, the penny begins to drop. A [...]
Big Day Tomorrow?

Could be. The expenses scandal, after yesterday’s revelations, is about to rear its ugly head again. This report from Peter Spencer of Sky News earlier seems to be suggesting so. Creepy Pete does well here, striking the right balance (unlike the biased BBC’s reporting), given that evidence so far shows that it’s far more likely [...]

This Gerald Scarfe cartoon from the Sunday Times is typically brutal – and honest.
Labour Leadership Rumours, Chapter 112

One positive thing that can be said about the Left media, I suppose, is that you do get a better quality of inside info., especially on the epic, Tolstoy-esque Brown [lack of] leadership saga. Just flipped through the web-pages of the Observer, (which is actually the same as the Guardian online but we are supposed [...]
A Very British Coup
Posted in Brown, democracy, misgovernance, resignation on 21/06/2009 | 4 Comments »
Just watched this 1989 classic for the first time in years. It got me thinking, if he rigs things so he doesn’t have to go between now and June 2010 (or even beyond that date), then how the hell will we rid ourselves of Gordon ‘Tyrant’ Brown? It’s a tricky one. Tell you what, even [...]
