Tom Harris MP bans anyone from calling Gordon Brown a liar.

Tom Harris is banning anyone from calling Gordon Brown a liar on his blog. Truly effing pathetic:

JOHN Rentoul makes a good point about the Tories’/Spectator’s latest childish tactic of calling everyone they disagree with a liar. "Vulgar abuse", John calls it, and he’s right.

I’ve been adopting far too liberal an approach to comment approval, even where the Tory liar line has been used, so I’m announcing a review. All existing comments which accuse anyone of lying will be deleted, and no future comments which do the same will be approved.

Use parliamentary protocol, people – there are ways of getting your point across without resort to childish name-calling.

Feckin’ eejits.

Here is my comment on this:

The dishonesty tag is working because it is true. And it hurts. Is there any point coming back here? What else will you ban? Is any criticism of Brown to be banned next? the government after that? then any criticism of the Labour party?

This is Labour all over, if you don’t like it you ban it, change the law, or just have those involved arrested on trumped up charges if all else fails.

You don’t get it, and that’s why you are going to lose, and BAD.

Labour: if they don't like it, or if the truth causes embarrassment, they ban it. Tom, you just don't get blogging do you?

Update: If you think that I'm jumping to conclusions about Tom banning the word liar from his blog, then please read the comments on this post for my explanation.

The Liar tag is sticking to Gordon Brown and Labour do not like it. When people think of Gordon Brown, the word Liar now springs to mind. Labour will move heaven and earth to change that. Here's a top tip for Labour MPs/members/supporters: Get Gordon to stop lying.

Gordon Brown, wanted for Financial Incompetence.

Gordon Brown's spending lies - video.

I'm not dead, just trying to decide if I want to carry on blogging. (good title for a film).

Gordon Brown's spending lies are not fooling voters.

I wrote yesterday that Gordon Brown was totally and utterly delusional if he thought that we would believe his "Tory cuts" lies. I also wrote that his legacy would be one of being a bloody liar.

Well it looks like I was right to believe that the people would not fall for Labour's lies this time. As soon as Brown came out with his false statement about increased Labour spending at PMQs last week, the blogosphere and the MSM were all over him. Yet still the fool has continued to spew out the same rubbish during the last week.

PoliticsHome has carried out a nationwide survey asking those taking part to name the party they feel are most honest about their tax and spending plans.

From PoliticsHome:

Labour failed to score an overall majority even with their own supporters; only forty eight per cent of Labour party supporters believe they are the party that is most honest about their spending and tax intentions. In contrast, the Tories and Lib Dems were both backed by eighty two per cent of their supporters.

The government's rhetoric on tax and spending has failed to convince independent voters. Only six per cent feel they are most honest, whereas thirty three per cent chose the Conservatives and twenty three per cent the Liberal Democrats.

I think that these results are pretty conclusive. Lets hope Brown keeps up the lies - they are obviously doing Labour more damage than the Tories.

Labour's unwanted ID Cards will waste billions of pounds.

Labour are planning to take one massive dump on the British public. The dirty bastards are writing huge penalty costs into ID Card contracts. Our shadow home secretary Chris Grayling told BBC Radio 4's Today programme he was concerned about "a number of signals" recently suggesting "quite big penalty costs" were being built into contracts which will leave a "substantial bill" for the taxpayer.

It a bloody disgrace. How pathetic and twisted can the government get? They know that they are likely to lose the General Election, they know that a Conservative government will scrap the ID Card scheme, so the low down dirty scumbags are purposely writing in penalty costs that we the taxpayer are going to have to pay. If Brown had any decency he would put off signing any contracts until after the General Election.

I don't know whether they are doing this in an attempt to force the Conservatives to keep the ID Card Scheme, or whether it's their intention to make them look bad when they have to waste possibly billions of pounds of our money to pay contractors off. What I do know is that they are scum. They are willing to throw away our money for a little political gain. I can't describe how angry I am about this.

We need to get rid of these arseholes - the sooner the better.

Unison withdraw financial support for Labour.

Sky are reporting that Unison are suspending payments to 64 constituency Labour parties. Unison give the labour party about £2m each year. This is a major blow to the Labour party and it could be just the first of many. The Union say they are angry over MPs expenses and the part privatisation of Royal Mail. General Secretary Dave Prentis said his union was "tired of feeding the hand that bites it".

Of course as a Conservative member I'm not unhappy to hear this bit of news. However, I am more concerned that this Union is using it's money to try to influence government policy. What will Brown do? Lose the Labour party £2m/year, or become Unison's bitch?

Gordon Brown is totally and utterly delusional.

That's it. I'm now convinced that Gordon Brown has totally lost it. He's on the BBC News channel now talking to GMB Union Conference. He's still going on about Tory 10% tax cuts when it has been proved in the media that these cuts come from Labour's own figures.

The man is totally delusional. How the hell does he think he will get away with such blatant lies? The man is a moron. He also said that broadband Internet access should be like the Post Office - available to all - what a cheeky bastard!

General Election Poster - We will not forget you!

The inspiration for the slogan:

Even The Mirror turns against Gordon Brown.

Gordon Brown has achieved something I thought he was incapable of. He has managed to alienate the one newspaper that has shown blind (and mindless) loyalty to him and his Government - The Mirror.

The straw that broke the camel's back for The Mirror, looks to be yesterday's announcement of a sham enquiry into the Iraq war.

The Mirror's Jason Beattie wrote:

Gordon Brown sparked furious claims of a whitewash yesterday after ruling the inquiry into the Iraq War would be held in private.

The long-awaited probe will be conducted by hand-picked grandees and will not report until after the next election.

And amazingly, Downing St admitted the toothless investigation would not even demand witnesses give evidence by law, and that its aim was not to "apportion blame".

The probe provoked fury among relatives of 179 troops who died and cries of "fix" from the opposition.

Even the the ridiculously pro-labour "Voice of the Mirror" has a go at Brown:

To hold the inquiry into the Iraq war in secret is another spectacular own goal by the Prime Minister.

Gordon Brown has missed a valuable opportunity to begin the slow and painful process of rebuilding public confidence in politics.

We were cajoled and coerced into the most controversial of conflicts on what was at best reckless disinformation, at worst a blatant lie.

This war triggered the biggest demonstrations in recent history. So to handpick four knights and a baroness to peruse documents behind closed doors is an insult, a charade to inflame contempt instead of healing wounds.

Faith in politicians was eroded by the Iraq invasion, and fell off a cliff over MPs' expenses. Mr Brown yesterday fuelled the cynicism.

We are still waiting for that full public inquiry into the Iraq war.

Is this the first sign of a split between Brown and The Mirror? Have they finally had enough of Brown's outrageous lies and deceit?

Climate change my arse - You couldn't make it up!

Earlier this month there was a Local Government Climate Change Leadership Summit held in Copenhagen. According to the EEA (European Environment Agency) website, the Summit was a: "Unique opportunity for cities, municipalities, and regions worldwide to demonstrate to the climate community what they have done in the field of climate." Nice.

You have to laugh at the stupidity of these people: Apparently 1,500 mayors, local politicians and senior administration officials from around 160 countries attended the Summit. It gets worse, the EEA website goes on to boast that: "Furthermore, representatives from national governments and embassies, international organizations and press will be present in Copenhagen."

So lets get this straight - Thousands of people from all over the world have flown to Copenhagen to talk about Climate Change. I'm damn sure that I'm not the only one who sees the idiocy of this summit? I'm a man made climate change sceptic, but I'm pretty sure that if it does indeed exist, then these morons are not exactly helping.

And how much has this cost the taxpayer?

Gordon Brown's legacy - The bloody liar.

I think I've worked out what Gordon Brown's legacy will be. He's always been a spinner who has surrounded himself with back stabbers, but he's upped his game recently. He's gone from the nasty bit of spin and smear to full blown lies and deceit. So I'm going to remember him not as a loser, or a ditherer, or back stabber, or a spinner, or a smear spreader, or a bottler, or as an incompetent arse - no, I will remember Gordon Brown as a bloody liar.

He accuses the Conservatives of making cuts to spending when he himself must do the same. He has announced an enquiry into the Iraq war, only for us to find out that it is to be held behind closed doors, and the results will not be published until after the General Election. And this latest sick attempt by his government to tie the Conservatives to the BNP is shameful. How far is this man willing to stoop? I will warn any Labour supporters who may be reading this: Gordon Brown is going to destroy your party for a very long time.

Gordon Brown just doesn't get the Internet. He doesn't realise that there are sharks constantly circling him waiting for him to slip up - waiting for his lies. Gone are the days when a politician can blatantly lie to the people and get away with it. The sharks are waiting, and the truth will come out in the feeding frenzy. Brown thinks that his lies are helping, but they are only making the situation worse for Labour. It won't be long before the papers refuse to publish his rubbish - I suspect that some already are. You can almost feel the anger coming from the journalist at his press conferences.

Gordon the liar has got his back to the wall. He thinks that he can win by fighting dirty, but he is only deceiving himself.

More lies from Gordon Brown. Sunday Mirror.

Gordon Brown knows no shame. I'm also starting to believe that the man is an idiot. I don't like Brown, but I always thought he had a brain - now that is in doubt. When he lied about government spending last Wednesday at PMQs, he was quickly exposed by the blogosphere and the MSM. So why he thinks he can get away with the same lies today is beyond me.

He's repeated his claims that the Tories will cut spending by 10% while his government will increase spending. It's such a big lie, that only the pathetically loyal Sunday Mirror have the neck to print it. This is just stupid of Brown as the Blogs and the papers will take great pleasure in pointing out that he is lying again.

Brown's usual ploy of repeating lie so often that the people will believe it isn't going to work this time. Instead he is building himself a reputation as a liar. Surely the Cabinet cannot have backed this article? They all can't be that stupid surely? This is Brown shooting himself in the foot - again.

Trust John Prescott to pour petrol on the fire - Miliband.

You have to laugh when John Prescott decides to share his wisdom with us. I can hear Mandelson's (Lord Mandelson of Foy in the county of Herefordshire and Hartlepool in the county of Durham, first secretary of state, secretary of state for business, innovation and skills and Lord President of the Council) hand slapping his forehead in despair all the way from Westminster to here on the south coast.

We've had hints of more trouble for Gordon Brown this morning in the papers. Miliband seems to be saying that he almost didn't support Brown when Purnell quit last week, and Mandelson is warning that the PM faces further rebel attacks. This is without doubt bad news for Brown, but it is not unexpected and it would have died down in a couple of days.

Then in steps John Prescott with his size twelves. He's calling for unity after Miliband's article, but in doing so he is making matters far worse (shocker). What were just hints in the papers this morning are now, thanks to John, full blown plots involving senior Labour party figures - nice one John. He writes (I'm not joking):

Can you believe it?

We've had the most disastrous results affected by the recession, allowances scandals and ministerial resignations, including Cabinet members walking out the day before the election and as soon as the polls closed. All for maximum publicity.

Then came the PLP debate where Charles Clarke's demand for GB to go were overwhelmingly rejected. Instead we all backed calls for unity and getting on with Government.

So imagine my surprise when I was walking through Portcullis House in the House of Commons on Thursday and stumbled upon a meeting held by Charles Clarke, John Reid, Alan Milburn and a few others, huddled together in intense discussion.

I went over and offered to be the secretary for their little club. With nervous laughter, my offer was turned down.

I later saw David Miliband and Milburn in a similar intense discussion. My suspicions were now heightened.

These may not be connected but now I read today that Charles Clarke is once again calling for another challenge against Gordon at the next party conference.

Well done John, that will calm things down - not.

Gordon Brown's planned spending cuts.

* Schools: Brown is planning to take £3.6 billion out of education spending, the equivalent of losing 30,891 teachers, and 24,140 teaching assistants and school support staff.

• Police: Brown is planning to take £650 million out of the Home Office. Cutting police funding by the same 7 per cent as the rest of the Home office could see the loss of 10,500 police officers - exactly the number of extra police officers delivered from Labour’s record investment since 1997. That’s nearly 21 off the beat in every constituency across England.

• University places: Brown is planning 7 per cent across the board cuts for public spending. That could mean cutting the number of places available each year by 22,400.

• Defence: Brown is planning to cut 7 per cent from the defence budget - the equivalent of cutting 7,000 soldiers, and a further 5,600 members of the armed forces from the Navy and Airforce. That’s almost double the number of troops the UK has in Afghanistan.

Hat Tip: Fraser Nelson.

Greg Pope to stand down at General Election.

From the BBC:

Mr Pope, who has a majority of 5,587, said serving his constituents had been a "privilege" and described his pride at being a Labour member.

His resignation announcement did not mention recent rows over expenses and the party leadership, but did detail his pride in serving in "Tony Blair's government" following the 1997 election victory.

Question time - Peter Hain gets blasted by LDV.

All I will say about Question time this week is to quote one of the audience (LDV employee) who was speaking to Peter Hain:

"You may have forgotten us, but come the next Election, we will not forget you!"

When it becomes available, I will post the link to tonight's programme.

Another Brown lie: Mail privatisation 'to go ahead'

Ooops! From the BBC: Mail privatisation 'to go ahead' What's that I hear hitting the fan?


Just how angry would you be now, if you were one of those Labour MPs giving Gordon Brown another chance?
