In a major investigation by the Sunday Times and Channel 4, retiring LABOUR TROUGHERS, STEPHEN BYERS,GEOFF HOON, MARGARET MORAN AND PATRICIA HEWITT are caught out asking for between £3000-£5000 PER DAY for lobbying on behalf of big business when they leave Parliament.
They boast that their contacts within Government have already enabled TESCOS to water down FOOD LABELING and that they are lining up jobs with 'FORIEGN DEFENCE COMPANIES' for embarrassing large amounts of money. This practise must be stopped. They should not be able to use any 'INSIDE' knowledge that they have picked up whilst being in Government to benefit when they leave it.
TONY BLAIR has ploughed a furrow where all the other former 'COMRADES' will follow, cocking a snoot at the Parliamentary Body set up to monitor former Ministers' work after leaving Parliament.
In 1997 Labour arrived to the strains of 'THINGS CAN ONLY GET BETTER'. Aye, they got 'BETTER' alright, but only for FUCKING LABOUR POLITICIANS!
Wednesday's failed coup against THE GREAT LEADER was a joke from beginning to end.
The Blogosphere and the MSM were awash with controversy, which I am glad to say I said was pish in several comments sections. But what has become apparent is the OUR GORDY has had to do deals with several key members of his Cabinet in order to stay in power. He is now a busted flush.
David Miliband, has now had four chances at challenging Brown and he has dithered each time until his only option was to back the PM in a non-committal kind of way.
Mr Miliband, whose relationship with the Premier has always been tense, was one of six Cabinet ministers named by the BBC who the plotters believed would have been prepared to move to oust Mr Brown in the right circumstances. The others were Miss Harman, Mr Straw, International Development Secretary Douglas Alexander, Defence Secretary Bob Ainsworth and Scottish Secretary Jim Murphy. Several ministers took hours to offer the Prime Minister only equivocal backing as the crisis deepened. It was some seven hours after the news of the botched putsch emerged before Mr Miliband spoke out, making no mention of Mr Brown's leadership.
So I pose the question in my title, if half the Cabinet doesn't support you, Mr Brown, why should the country? Surely the TORIES and the SNP must hammer this split for all it is worth!
