Ed Balls has just given an on the record briefing to the Lobby, the subject was Frank Field's comments re-broadcast on
Today this morning:
"I think people could look at what he was saying a few weeks ago and believe at that time that his intentions were honourable. As for what he said this morning I think I leave you to draw your own conclusions from that... I think it is very unlikely... that Frank Field will support any proposals that are brought forward by the government."
So the 10p tax debacle is all Frank Field's fault...
61 comments:
Well I should think that that will make Frank Field even more determined to bring down the "Supreme Leader" in flames should he not be satisfied with the compensation package over the 10p fiasco
For Frank Field to be accused of being anything other than honourable in standing up for the poorest is absurd, but not perhaps as absurd as Ed Balls making such an accusation.
Slimey little wretch.
Oh! So it's Frank who is the disloyal self-serving shit and not Gobshite.
It must be true Cuntgob Balls said so.
Please, please can we have more Ed Balls!!!!
He does such a fantastic job for us.
Like I said in an earlier comment in an other post - the ministerial bullshit bubble has well and truly burst. This clown Balls is one of the main architects of the New Labour con trick - (I mean fiscal policy), over the past 11 years. The wheels have now come off big style.
Politics is a function of proximity. When Gordon, Harriet, Hazel, Alan, Tony et al were plotting their illegal war, which lead directly to the unlawful deaths of untold thousands of innocent Iraqi's in 2003 - people all over North America were in the process of quietly having their homes and cars repossessed. Nobody here gave a stuff, cos it wasn't happening to us.
Roll forward to 2007/2008 and the US lead Credit Crunch is starting to wreak Shock and Awe all over middle Britain. It's in our faces now, so it matters. When we finally wake up to how much the PFI will really cost us, I dread to think how people will react.
As for the health ministers performance on radio 4 this morning - he was soft soaped by some light weight.
Haven't noticed John Denham before, he's about to screw up the adult learning facilities at schools an colleges.
A document laughingly called a 'consultation document' is so deliberately complex it's almost impossible to respond to. We think it's a 'Done deal' what do you think?

A savaging by Ball-less Balls makes Geoffrey Howe look like an overdosed viagran live ram.
Can't wait for the Field put down.
I've met Frank Field and while I don't agree with all he says, I think he is a man of consistency and principle.
Ass for Ed Balls, there is being a loyal friend and there being a bitch, and right now Ed is Gordon's bitch. The rest of those led-by the nose fuckwits on the labour backbenches can't escape the damning verdict either: they colluded in that psychotic nose-miner's coronation and I hope they lie awake at nights with demons tearing their souls.
Balls you are balls.With Gordon as your mentor we should not be surprised.
Balls is 'His masters voice' so anything he says or does (and his boybride) is approved by the klunking vist!
Brown is suffering from a mental illness. Ministers are aware of this and to have this man with all his personal problems with his button on our nuclear button is most concerning.
As for Balls. I have for a long time considered that some surnames were given for a purpose! It certainly applies to this fool.
Unless the Government proposal is as unequivocal as Field wants, it's a dead cert he's going to be dissatisfied and to continue the scrap.
All Balls has done here is to admit that the Govt is incapable of fixing the 10p rate damage.
It was an almighty mistake for the Govt to make promises which it could not substantiate in the fist place.
We need to give the back benchers an excuse to stick the big knife in.
10p wasn’t quite enough – they fudged and threatened their way out of that one.
42 days – well most of the public think it means putting terrorists behind bars for longer so it’s neutral from a popularity point of view.
Crewe is predictable so therefore quite easy to plan for.
No, there needs to be one last hard kick in the bollocks.
It has to be something which can be pinned on Gordon not the party itself.
Oi! You know Ed 'adta say vat innit someone's gotta stand up for Gordon he's messed it all up and dunno wotta do snotfair sumwuns gotta pretend were still in charge ittle be diffwent when weer in number ten you wait and see. Twats.
And to have the "prat" and his wife as HMG ministers just makes the Labour Government totally unreal-but unfortunately true.
BTW I have been told that when The Honourable Frank fell out with Brown. Brown was so enraged he actually grapped hold of FF

Frank Field is not alone in criticising the good for nothing, closet queer, slack jawed, mendacious, snivelling shithouse in No 10. The Wear Valley Mercury speaks from Labour’s traditional heartland. A LABOUR councillor for the unitary authority has slammed the Government for abolishing the 10 per cent Income Tax band. (April 25 edition)
Brian Myers, who is standing for the Willington ward, described Prime Minister Gordon Brown as “weak” and “indecisive”, and said he is concerned about the impact the abolition of the tax band will have on minimum wage earners and pensioners.
“I went into politics to champion the lot of the under privileged and it appalls me that a Labour Government has done this to the very people that we as a party should be protecting.
“Over the last 11 years in government, Labour has constantly devalued my socialist principles and I consider that scrapping the lowest band of Income Tax is a huge miscalculation.
Mr Myers said: “Gordon Brown is not Prime Minister material. He is weak, indecisive, completely without charisma with a total lack of clarity in his leadership style. He comes across as a worrier and that does not reassure either his backbenchers or the electorate.
“He should admit the task is too great for him and step down”.
Presumably I'm not the only one to think that there are too many ugly fat harridans representing Labour.
Councillor Albert Nugent, who was suspended from the Labour party in a row over the number of women put forward for election to Durham City Council has just been on the radio saying he didn’t join Labour to be deprived of the right to free speech and that the party can “get stuffed”.
Only 10 days to wait then, Albert old lad!
Nulab does not like honesty or thinkers who express considered concerns. Shame on McStalin and apologist bollocks.
I think blaming everything on Frank is becomming standard spin from the Brown bunker.
I'm sure I remember the election being blamed on Frank. If only he'd kept quiet, perhaps nobody would have noticed the poor getting poorer.
Bloody Freaks
This is becoming very interesting.
Can't wait to see how Field responds.
Is there no other labour mp (deliberate use of lower case) with any courage to stand by and help Frankie out here?
What a load of spineless gits.

"Brown was so enraged, he actually grapped (sic) hold of FF".
Can you imagine? Brown grabbing you and holding you tight? The bad breath, his knob swelling at your closeness.
It must have been hell for Mr Field. I do hope he recovers after suitable councelling.
Ed Balls! "So what?"
When rats are boxed in they turn on their own and start eating them. Cannibalism is never pretty.
Let's hope the nuclear button isn't up his nose.
Wasnt it interesting yesterday how little Milliband was setting himself up on the BBC as the calm voice of Authority in the Party. Very supportive of the great leader but perhaps just a little reserved I thought. Still, the only one to go up front there and take them on!
No doubt when the putsch soon comes and the Great Leader is dispatched to his Socialist Nirvana (hopefully in the Outer Hebrides) people will remember that calm demeanour, those boyish good looks, the air of gravitas.
And he will then get his just reward...whatever that might be.
'sweaty' ed balls is a fucking spastic. it was gordon brown who slit the throat of the labour party by doubling the tax burden of the poor.
it's no good trying to palm the knife off to fields.
note to ed balls: you are a joke. no-one believes your bullshit ed, everyone thinks you are just a fucking moron.
oh, and go easy on the pork pies ed. all that stuffing your face is turning into a right fat cunt.
you greedy pig.
Odd
Frank Field is a "fastidious batchelor" in the mould of Daily Mail editor Paul Dacre, Mathew Parris (knob jockey) and the fragrant Gerald Kuafman.
I thought they all stuck together, and Gordon could have felt secure in the knowledge that they all had his back.
Well all I can say is ....
Theres nowt so queer as politicians
The real story is that Balls is looking at being in the wilderness for a decade. Best years of his miserable political life scuttling around in a taxi, slagging off the Tories on Today.
twat.
At the end of the day, Frank knows which side his bread is buttered and they will come up with a form of weasel words to smooth over this little difficulty.
No one in Zanu Labour has the balls to stand up to Cyclops. They all realise that at present they are unelectable and they will all keep their snouts in the trough to squirrel away as much as they can in short time left to them.
Some of them, (FF?) may posture a bit (defending the poor blah blah, looking after the elderly blah blah) so that when the next election comes he can squeek to the electorate and say he was on their side, but no one will stand up to the Snot Gobbler. They will all tow the line for their own self interest.
I remember watching the Tories tear themselves apart in the 1990s, and wondering if they even cared about the damage they were doing to their party?
It's the same with Labour now. As bad as Brown is, he represents Labour's best chance at the next election. Changing their leader again will destroy any chance they had of winning in 2010.
Compelling viewing, but utter lunacy nonetheless.
I heard this brilliant joke.....Ed balls.
Im sure Frank is shitting himself having Mr bollox having a go.Snotty picks his friends like he picks his nose,badly and in public.
What a fuckin state this country is in having a laughing stock as a PM and Balls/Millbrain trying to succeed him(fail him).
This is true; i was walking down the street today and i actually found someone who wasnt laughing his arse off at gordon brown. no honest. this bloke just didnt seem to find him funny.
what a cunt
gary elsby IQ is 12
Was it Estel Morris a previous Labour Education Minister of Stae who resigned becuase she was not up to it. Honest at least. Go on Gordon give her a ring - nothing ventured nothing gained.
Does anyone actually listen to what Balls and his dumb wife have to say any longer.
It's not just the 10 p tax rate that has caused their support to completely collapse, it's also the new car licence rates that come in next year.
Not only is the rate going upto £400 p.a. for a very average car, but that increase will kill the second hand value, as well, in many cases they will be worthless....so many of their typical supporters are now faced with haveing their cars effectively stolen from them, by the very people they voted for, under the pretence of keeping the likes Polly Toynbee and George Monbiot happy.....and like it or not, people get emotional about their cars.
Frank Fields is an extremely principled politician, a rarety in our times. The great-nosepicker-in-chief might have done better to listen to Frank before now. His disaster is of his own making and having been a complete cuckoo in the nest, now there is no one to stand against him - except possibly Frank. Frank is merely the greek commentary passing observations on the unfolding tragedy. What is it all those PC anti-drug ads say? "Talk to Frank"!
To Anonymous at 5:53 PM -
The 'nuclear button' is in the submarine carrying the missiles. Fortunately for us, there are a few more sane people in the chain of command between loony tunes Brown and Armageddon, fully aware of what the weapons are capable of, and I think one of them would shoot him first anyway.
There is only one word that springs to mind whenever that slimy cunt Balls is in the news....
.....CASTRATION!
Cue Bananarama 'Love in the first degree' music...
"He's guilty, guilty
Of a fuck up in the first degree.."
With Prezza calling him 'volcanic' and Frank Field talking about his 'tempers of an indescribable nature' how long can it be before someone spills the beans with some footage of a mobile phone biting the dust ?

Guido can you do anything to get Tinsel Tits off Radio 4?
He's a fucking lightweight, who gave Alan Johnson his head this morning. Let him off very lightly -wouldn't have happened if Humphrys had been in the chair.
Also, that Aled Jones twat is on Radio 2 - can you get him off, please?
Balls Bollocks Field.Fucking joke isn`t it. So laughable, the comrades are the biggest backstabbing bunch of cunts going. If they could stick an ice pick into Franks head and get away with it they would. Over the 10p rate the cunts have been well & truly found out Now they are scrambling around trying to find a way (anyway other than the honourable way of either restoring it or my personal preference of raising the pa) and saving face,whilst attempting to spread shit all over the place in a futile attempt to divert attention away from their incompetence. Thank god no one is fooled any longer (apart from Auntie & the Prissy Polly Posse). Ed Balls `ed Brown nosing twat.
Interesting that Bollox is openly targetting Frank Field. Seems that the succession race in the Brother's party is getting under way and the backstabbing is now official.
Bollox would be total disaster for Labour as leader but Field might just turn it round for them.
The only honour that piece of execreta Balls understands is the kind you can buy.
I'm with Frank on this one - I'm utterly sick and tired of these losers trying to get 10p out of me all the time. Haven't they heard of the welfare state?
Rgey are just like ferrets in a sack
Have not bothered to read the posts so sorry if this is a repeat.

Ed 'So What' Balls suddenly realises that him swanning around with a Loads-a-Money expense account isn't exactly appealing to the people struggling to make end meet as family finances tighten
I can see the next party broadcast, him and his useless wife sitting around a barren home trying to balance the family bills, when the John Lewis expenses book lands in front of him, and the home fills up.
Yvette: "Struggling to make ends meet?"
Ed: "Claim it on expenses!"
Everyone: "It's what we all do!"

And Brown confides to Balls that he mistrusts Field:
Let me have men about me that are fat;[like you]
Sleek-headed men and such as sleep o' nights:[unlike me]
Yond Field has a lean and hungry look;[a bit scary]
He thinks too much: such men are dangerous.

But I fear him not: [well not a lot]
Yet if my name were liable to fear,
I do not know the man I should avoid
So soon as that spare Frank Field.

Well I think the electorate will clearly understand that Ed's loyal support for Gordon in his justifiable onslaught against the the less-well-off is all part of New Labour's "listen-and-lead" policy following our successes in the local elections and that we're and not letting those successes go to our collective head, and in Gordon's own words we've lifted millions out of poverty er...albeit into destitution and of course Frank er....Meadows is one of our very valued voices of diversity who is also one of Gordon's leading lieutenants from the back benches and clearly the utter disarray we're seeing in Tory ranks at this very moment just goes to show what a laughing stock David Hague's supposed rebranding has become and er...

"Odd .......the fragrant Gerald Kuafman"(sic)
Wow! There's a blast from the past - once described by a leader of the Leeds Jewish community , who knew him from school days, as "the kind of Jew who gives Jews a bad name"
Does he still holiday with selected companions in Goa?
"Fastidious batchelors" and "fragrant", and when you say they stuck together afterwards - whatever do you mean?
As to Field, I have a real feeling that he may be Brown's nemesis. He does have a lean and hungry look. What has he to lose? Brown is fucked one way or another, he's a write-off. So for Field to be seen to wield the knife will ensure his standing with Milburn, Clarke and Byers in the run-off of Labour to the next election. With the 14th biggest majority in the House he'll be fireproof as the defender of the poor in Birkenhead.It's also well known that he thinks Brown's a cunt. Whoever said it above was right about revenge being a dish best served cold.
Heads he wins, tails Brown loses!

what complete toffee, I actually only go for quality street
Wee Gordie Gobbler is in a bit of a Catch 22 here. Whereas Dave would have had no hesitation in removing the whip from Field, ZanuLabour know they cannot afford to do that in case he fucks of to the Tories and smears more shit on their copy book.
Anonymous May 12, 2008 6:52 PM
This is the time-bomb that is sitting there like the 10p tax rate, simmering away just waiting to go off.
Both where reported at the time of their respective announcements but as per usual people ignored it or noticed it for five minutes, got a little irate and then forgot about it.
When it comes into force next year and it actually hits people there will be a nuclear explosion of anger from joe public as they realise that it is not just negative equity on their house but their cars as well which as you say are to many people their second home and sanctuary from the world and will be practically worthless.
They will be even more angry when they realise a 7 liter Dodge Viper registered before March 2001 pays just £185 a year whilst they sit there in a 2 liter Ford Mondeo paying nearly double that.
The best con-trick of them all is the "showroom tax" that means should you buy a new car you are effective paying for two years tax whilst only recieving one for the first year and then every year after that paying nearly double the amount. So on a three year deal you are paying for nearly EIGHT YEARS tax compared to the same amount for THREE YEARS a few years ago. ( Previously - £110x3=£330 / Now £350 first year + £500(two years)=£850 )
That is some stealth tax increase if you ask me.
Nobody has yet reported this little 250% tax hike yet and I can't wait till somebody in the media notices it as it will truly finish Brown and Co. off.
From the Grauniad:-
Balls, who is one of the prime minister's closest allies, branded Labour backbencher Frank Field – the MP who led the revolt against the scrapping of the lowest rate of income tax – a loner and suggested that he had acted dishonourably.
"I think people took his views [about the 10p tax row] at face value. They thought that to negotiate with him was the right thing to do.
"I think people could look at what he was saying a few weeks ago and believe at that time that his intentions were honourable.
"As for what he said this morning, I think I leave you to draw your own conclusions from that."
Asked if he thought Field was on a mission to bring down the prime minister, Balls said: "I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions from what was said."
Lovely. Frank Field is a person of the highest integrity. He's amember of the Church of England Synod. He gets knifed by some fat bloke who only became an MP 3 years ago and has been about as popular as satan. Something tells me that wasn't such a smart move from Mr Balls. A bit like giving Mother Theresa a beating with a baseball bat for daring to mention people sleeping on the streets of London.
Well here is the real reason that Frank is being pilloried by Balls:-
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7397705.stm
Clearly the "fix" to the 10p rate wasn't actually fixed at all, which is why Darling is now making another statement on the matter today.
Whatever else he may have done at least Frank Field stood up for the interests of his constituents - a rare concept in Zanu/NewLab these days.
Guido, why don't you use your good offices and expertise in these matters to try and organise a Knighthood for the gentleman - it might help many of his colleagues to realise who they are really responsible to!
