Did you expect anything else, nothing is ever Browns fault, it was always some one else.

I suspect he may not be able to walk away from this one quite as fast as he would like.

But then we knew that already.

Agreed,Clarke must have a very odd notion of the concept of 'shame' if he thinks that the Labour party were not neck deep in it already.

Another example of a senior politico being out of touch with the public mood?

Even more ludicrous is the Guardians reporting that senior Labour ministers feel that they could lose the (hopefully) oncoming election due to these tactics.

Guardian link.

This really did make me do a double take.

It would appear that Labour are looking for a scapegoat to blame their collective failure on.

Or are they seriously suggesting that their morally and financially bankrupt party is well placed to fight an election,and that the McBride/Draper fiasco is just a minor spanner in the works before they romp home to election victory?

The online 'Downfall' mash-ups of Hitler and his cronies in the bunker have never looked more accurate.

Watch this space - this will blow up in the Conservatives faces with a vengeance!

I wish they spent this much effort on the people they represent and the expenses scandal.

They are all as bad as each other.

I know Nadine Dorries personally and she seems very unlikely to have skeletons in her closet. She's not the best MP (although her attendance is good and expenses claims are low) and she was once caught by a local rag climbing the back wall into her own house blind drunk after she lost her keys, but I suspect that any investigative journalism will find nothing of note. Besides, the tories have an incredible get out clause if anything is found on anyone: they just say its Labour making it up and most of the electorate will believe them.

A female parliamentary candidate, of ANY party except Labour, caught climbing her garden wall, having had a few, could well get my vote!

Good girl! I hope she was wearing trousers!

Even more street cred if they weren't her own trousers!

Mind you she's welcome to share mine - but that is just wishful thinking on my part not a new source of dirt for the Labour Party

I had the pleasure of meeting Nadine Dorries last year with another forum friend hitback, she has a lot of time for ex veterans issues and the Armed Forces.

I would be more than happy to have her as my local MP.

And MILF too.
