The taste for the blood of human prey must be pretty overwhelming for a grizzled political werewolf like Menzies Campbell. He can’t get enough of it. Certainly Charles Kennedy’s 80 proof claret clearly wasn’t enough to slake a thirst like Ming’s, even though it did poison his leadership. Now he’s stalking little Bercow, too, and [...]

Bercow Would Be No Great Loss

After the revelation that little Johnny Bercow’s beanpole wife (relatively speaking) is standing in local council elections for the Labourists in Westminster, today the Telegraph reports that he has spent a small fortune redecorating the Speaker’s grace and favour apartments. Cost to you and me? A cool £45,000. So the story goes, it was wifey [...]
Bercow Can’t Add Up
Posted in Brown, cirsis, lies, parliament, reform, scandal, sleaze, speaker on 24/06/2009 | 3 Comments »
Bercow seems to think that he is going to be the star of the All-New Reformed-Parliament Show. So far, though, he has not struck me as the sort of person who will do anything other than an absolutely terrible job. He’s full of what is clearly Labour reform spin and he sounds, frankly, dishonest. Why? [...]

Fake Reformers, Fake Reform

So the first Bercow ‘big reform’ is to cast off the Speaker’s wig. This is a laughable, disingenuous gesture designed somehow to provide a visual representation of that ‘clean break’ the Berk referred to in his cringe-making speech yesterday. But if you take the wig off the man, all you are left with is the [...]

"Bercow’s Not A Tory!" -Cameron

Puppet and master Conservative Home has already given some inkling as to the scale of the animosity Labour has potentially generated by playing politics with the speaker’s election. In cynically manoeuvering John Bercow into a winning position, the Labour goons have gleefully set Cameron and the shadow front bench on collision course with the man [...]

So Labour’s latest stitch-up is now under way. With rumours of whips being sent out to try to bully Labour MPs into voting for Beckett (God, not her!) reported in the Times apparently proving to be without foundation, it seems today’s Guardian was right after all: there has been a plot in Labour’s ranks to [...]
