Blue-on-Blue or Red Dragons?
Post-lunch Guido peruses Nadine's blog to discover a picture of her comely researcher, one Jenny Dorries, and Nadine has this to say:
Elsewhere on her blog Nadine laments
If Michael Crick or any other journalist would like to check it out she is working from my staff office, just be our guest. Is there a better communication tool than a blog?No of course not, so Guido calls Nadine's office; "Is Jenny there?" "No she has just popped out" comes the reply. Guido leaves his number for her to call back. Seconds pass... ring, ring. A lioness roars down the line in tones that remind Guido of Mrs Fawkes. Nadine is not impressed. Guido protests that she did invite calls. She also complains about the blog's coverage of Caroline Spelman. Guido points out she never called about Guido's coverage of Beckett's pergola or Follet's window cleaning at our expense. We agree to differ.
Elsewhere on her blog Nadine laments
"The frenzied attack against Conservative MPs and MEPs, orchestrated by and emanating from the left wing BBC and press has equalled that of an animal in its death throes. The more terminal the position looks for Labour, the more desperate the BBC and left wing press become. The incoming Conservative government has many big dragons to slay, the BBC has to be the biggest."Yes, Guido and those horrible left-wingers at Open Europe must be desperately trying to prop up the Labour Party. Guido wonders aloud to Nadine whether, just maybe, Spelman's troubles might come from another direction, after all, the Whip's office knew of her misdemeanor, perhaps others in CCHQ knew as well? Some of those Tory MEPs she was threatening have been around a while, they are not entirely without friends - people do gossip - black books are kept. Maybe they also knew Michael Crick's phone number? Isn't it more likely to be Blue-on-Blue shooting than originating from the BBC's red dragons? Nadine went quiet for a moment... briefly.

If you upset Nadine, you'll have Mrs Dale on your case as well. Now you're terrified.
"Is there a better communication tool than a blog?"
Possibly Nadine, but having a blog that allows comments to be made would probably be better than one that just lets you witter on incessantly about utter garbage.
The quicker people like Dorries get out of politics, the better the world will become.
The quicker people like Dorries get out of politics, the better the world will become.
Sooner real people like Dorries than jumped up twerps who have never had a job outside politics.
Sooner real people than drunken Irish sots.
As long as she doesn't get replaced by mrs dale - worthless twat wrote that 'anne widdicombe would look good in ermine '!
Not to great swathes of the party outside of Westminster she wouldn't - anything other than a pine box would be unacceptable for her.
Guido - you should add totty watch to the tags. Must get me a researcher.....
Guido, admit it, you love strong Tory women.
Blue on Blue, I thought that was obvious last week? The briefing on those MEP's expenses and Spelman's nannygate has been ruthlessly efficient and effective, so that rules out that bunch of incompetents in the Labour party HQ.
Haven't the Tories always found that knifing a problem in the back is the quickest way of removing it?
Its a pity the Labour party are such dithering whimps.....
The EU streets are paved with gold if your a dictatorial washed out MEP so why shouldn't the EU pigies not take some? Who would know anyhow or has the EU now given in it's accounts?!
The EU pigies that have been given Britain to rule must believe they are god almighty with NO ONE being able to tell them to take a run & jump!
I hate being forced into things, much like the rest of the public!
Somehow we the public will make these EU loving MPs pay for their
treatourous moves!
In the meantime we have Guido :-)
West Midlands euro selections.
Phil Bradbourn MEP
Malcolm Harbour MEP
Anthea McIntyre
Michael Burnett
Mark Spelman
If one of those MEPs can be removed, Caroline's husband has every chance.
A woman's place is in the home. Women should never have been given the vote. This country has gone downhill ever since.
Quoting Anonymong at 4.49:
"Sooner real people like Dorries"
Dorries? Real? Are you out of your fucking mind? Or do you live in an insane asylum where she would be classed as normal?
Dorries is, I believe, at least two standard deviations from the mean. She is a liar - see her delusions presented as fact wrt abortion - and openly admits to breaching rules when it suits her. While this would seem to be ideal MP material, it does not make her "real".
The fact she's actually an MP makes me worry about the section of the population that voted for her. Thank fuck she can't claim to represent my views.
Hello, Jenny, your face or mine?
Thank fuck she can't claim to represent my views.
Does that mean you're in a lunatic asylum?
As well as knowing Michael Crick's number - I guess the MEPs and Spellman's "friends" knew how to contact Guido.
You've been used mate! Perhaps we should be following you advice in such situations and asking "cui bono".
Interesting comment in yesterdays's Observer about the relationship between Spellman and Ashcroft. Or perhaps CCHQ are just trying to divert our attention from a bigger scandal.
PS she's not called Mad Nad for no reason at all.
Anon at 5.13
How can saying "she can't claim to represent my views" mean that I'm in a lunatic asylum? Are you unable to construct arguments properly, or do you just like the non-sequitur approach?
*sniff*
Wait, are you a troll? Get back under your bridge. Bad troll. No biscuit.

Anon 2. "Does that mean you're in a lunatic asylum?"
It just means he doesn't live in her constituency.
Looks like Jenny has got a weight problem.
Anon 5:03
That should pay for the nanny!
I have to say we need more people like the Nadines in politics.
If Im going to get fucked, I at least want it to be by somebody I would kiss on the mouth(and anywhere else).
Have you gone f**** mad?
Nadine Dorries is actualy a proper human being unlike most of the wankers who quite rightly get HDQ here.
An Afghan journalist working for the BBC in Helmand province has been found shot dead.
Not much mentioned about this today
Off topic: Guido, Get across to Hatfield Girl's blog right now and read her latest post.
You are duty bound to reprint it in full on your blog which I suspect is more widely read than HG's.
GO NOW!!!

Not to a normal man she doesnt.
Let me guess , you are either a fat dyke or a poof?
The fragrant Jenny appears to be sporting a species of tide mark on her right wrist. Just thought I'd mention it.
Did you try again at 4:45?
You guys are all real saddoes...
Michael Crick is getting some stick on his blog....His grillions of 'questions for Ms. Spelman' make me, (and others clearly), think he doth protest too much and he knows he has fucked up. Good.
Nor has Crick always been in vogue with his bosses. At Channel 4 News he was disciplined for leaking off-air comments of a guest to the Times diary; later at the BBC, he fell foul of John Birt. An authoritative BBC source says the former director general tried to block Crick's Panorama on Archer in 2001. Fortunately incoming boss Greg Dyke a fellow Manchester United fan gave the green light !
Mad Nad ought to be careful..
Have a look at her travel expenses compared to other MPs in Bedfordshire. Value for money..??
Also see her outburst in the Beds on Sunday.. What a nutter....
Only very briefly, I trust...
All this Tory piggery and they're still 16% ahead of U-benders Labour in the polls.
My daughter covered the staff holidays in London during the summer. I have her permission to state that for this she was paid the minimum wage.
----
From her expenses. How many times can an MP hire their family as an 'intern' or to cover holidays etc before it is clearly a case of nepotism. Are we to believe that this hiring is at all meritocratic? These people just have completely warped values. Bitch about their salaries, even though many of them are unemployable outside of parliament and then subsidise their wages with inanely large expenses.
It's time to cut wages not increase them, the qualifications required to be an MP are none; Let the MPs be pid £20k centrally, and then allow the voters in their constituency to vote on how much more on top of that they are willing to pay out of their council tax. Let the sitting MP make a proposal and have it voted on in referendum locally... that'll be a wonderful taste of democracy.

Second Anon @ 5:03 - and they should never have stopped sending little boys up chimneys - country's gone to the dogs!
and for some light relief.
While suturing a laceration on the hand of a 90-year-old man, the doctor asked his patient how he thought Gordon Brown was doing as Prime Minister.
The old man said, "You know, Brown is a post turtle." Not knowing what the old man meant, the doctor asked him what a "post turtle" was.
He said, "Did you ever drive down a country road and come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top? You know he didn't get there by himself, he doesn't belong there, he can't get anything done while he's up there, and you just want to help the poor thing down. That's a post turtle."
I think this matter is very different from the Labour sleaze and, indeed, the Tory MEP sleaze. The case, even if it *is* a case, is ten years old. Even the Revenue tend to lose interest at six years. Why not stick to the unquestionable contemporary thefts and corruptions, rather than this small, ancient and marginal business?
Mitch - perfect. Now for the cunts who put him up there!
"...you'll have Mrs Dale on your case as well."
Oooh! ducky, Mrs Dale can be on my case anytime.
Kiss, kiss...
Nadine is supportive of Spelman because early in her career as an MP she herself fell foul of the Committee of Standards and Privileges and was formally reprimanded for misusing Parliamentary stationery.
Guido,
Yes this is a big story and yes I don't agree with Spellman spending some of my money 10 years ago but can we please concentrate on events happenening a decade plus to the day hence.
The government is trying to rip-up magna carta and presume guilt before innocence in this whole 42 / 90 day issue that has no bearing on reality,but is merely the one eyed snotgobbling fucking wanker trying to exude some sort of authority that he has left from his pathetic trembling hand.
They have to be stopped, as if you look at examples of this sort of behaviour all over the world it only ends up in one conclusion, an escalation of such activities and a sense of martyrdom among those the legislation is supposed to prevent but increases as a direct consequence.
Feel free to ridicule, persevere and rightly condemn the actions comitted ten years ago, but the actions being perpertrated today and on Wednesday will have far larger ramifications and this I feel is where you should be laying your obvious talent and energy rather than on such frivilous, though important, matters.
Yawn ! Move on to more important CURRENT sleaze issues i,e, The European Parliament for starters. Just admit you've been "suckered" by someone on the whole out-dated issue of Speleman's Nanny - It's a smokescreen for bigger fish Nobody cares about it.It's insignificant against the present snouts in the trough. Too much hot air.newsprint and time and effort has been wasted already. It's going nowhere. Its a cul de sac and the whole thing will fizzle out to the very most a slap on the wrist although after the length of time that has elapsed and the conflicting evidence it probably won't even come to that. Remember "Betsygate" another Crick investigation that went absolutely nowhere
European Parliament - yes! Does anyone know what the timescale is? Will there be any news of blood on the floor or walls in the next day or so? Sooner the bloodletting takes place sooner we can all move on
Off topic but relevant to current news - Millipede is busily defending us being in Afghanistan - brown nosed little turd - did anyone see him grinning like an embarrassed virgin on Question Time when one of his supporters in the audience asked if he was the answer to NuLab's problems - no, just one of the causes.
Thick as Thieves.
While you and Guido are obsessing about Spelman's presumed infraction 10 years ago (and it was only minor in the scheme of things) you're not saying much about HUGE fortunes in property being amassed by Ball and his missus, the Keens and other outrages by Labour types. Landscape gardening anybody? Also just as Anon at 6:34 points out, this Brown-led gang wants to lock up people it doesn't trust for 6 weeks without charge and you can't be bothered. Spelman-bashing is much more fun for you.
No doubt sometime in the next 18 months or two years as Brown declares the revocation of the Parliament Act and the permanent postponement of any election you'll be flaming the blogwaves with outrage at some hapless Tory and whether his toothbrush was paid for on Parliamentary expenses.
It was fun coming here for a while. There was some good stuff to read and participate in. Now it's so completely irrelevant it's a waste of space.
Bye. I'll maybe come back when you've regained a sense of proportion.
Mitch 6:11pm - superb.
Nadine says '......Is there a better communication tool than a blog?'
Well a telephone would be better coz at least then I could get a fucking word in edgeways. As it is she just goes on fucking send mode, comfortable in the knowledge that no one can respond directly to her on her blog.
geoffh - don't forget to ask Guido for the refund on the balance of your subscription as you head out the door.
thick as thieves is the sock on Guido's other hand.
"Thick as thieves"
Call me old fashioned, but I am less than impressed when a "Dalek"
Insults an innocent woman, in fact it makes me fucking furious.
I'm no "Tory Boy" I loathe them all, Labour ,LibDem or Conservative, however, some MP's are decent human beings, and some of them even have members of their family that can carry out secreterial duties at the market rate.
Pick a fight with me if you like, you will lose, everybody does (+:
Bend over, part your cheeks then await the rapid insertion of a size 10 boot you picking on a young woman cock sucker.

ITV news reporting that the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner will not take on Spelman case unless it is referred to him by Sleaze Committee
Guido, if you rang my daughter I'd reach for the shotgun. Invitation or no invitation.
Great Post Guido. I think for sure that a Conservative MEP has grassed Spelman up.
Though it goes without saying that Spelman should stand down as the chief Tory Sleaze buster, no way was her nanny working 24/7 as a constituency secretary.
What a wicked web an MEP under threat weaves, and it ain't confined to the Tories or UK MEPs.
I'd give her work experience
While it is no doubt the case that the BBC has left wing supporters in it's staff (as well as Tory etc), I can't see why she thinks the BBC, as an entity, supports Labour? I think it will take the BBC many, many years to start trusting Labour after what it has done to them over the last 3 years or so.
Hang on A MINUTE.
Why is Dorries paying her inexperienced daughter more than the minimum wage? Actually Dorries is not paying her daughter a single penny, it is the UK taxpayer who is funding her daughter's summer job/work experience.
This whole idea of MPs paying their staff directly out of expenses has GOT to end. Parliament should hire, fire and pay MP's staff.
Blue on blue is preferable to turning a blind eye on corruption and swindling the public purse.
If spelman stays in her job its going to be interesting, and I suspect happy days at Nulab.
Does anyone know what the Welsh Windbag's (and Mrs Windbag's)Euro expenses were in 1997/98?
Let us not forget, that whilst this was not, in my opinion, Crick's strongest story, all the ballyhoo from Dorries and her ilk conveniently ignores the fact that he did follow up in some detail Guido's story about the Smith Institute and all those meetings at Number 11...

How would you know?
interesting point shropshire lad , you have solved the dilemma for me , given what the long established family firm the kinnochios were doing with tax payers money and quite a few othe mps and MEPs (was conway still throwing tax payers cash on the fire).
we cant fire off about it but when you actually look at what was happening in 97 ms spellman may have been st caroline of basssetlaw .
as nadine , bit clumsy i think giving preferential work experience , but you gave such a good speech on abortion debate i can overlook it , providing you dont pay her any thing !!
roll on 9pm and dispatches ive booked my local cineplex full screen and dolby sound , reclining chair and some cheesy nachos , were having a gordon doom night , fancy dress , with a prize for the best tooth veneers, and who can say "the little children" whilst sounding like the child catcher off chitty chitty bang bang.
nadine can summon up the tempests like mrs fawkes ?? ah but is she ok with a margeux curry night , ah well better off with mrs fawkes then !!
Down South we had Dispatches at 20:00, accompanied by coke (not for the nose) & popcorn. While it was fun re-visiting Pennywise the Clown's less glorious moments, as it involved comment from mostly NuLab people - Peter Hain & Hazel Blears, they tended to be smoothed over. I'd have really enjoyed hearing some of the 5K voters who lost out over Snotgobbler's 10p tax, baying for his blood. I know I & a lot of my friends lost out & we certainly bayed for his blood. However, a pleasant hour all in all.
Anon...7-42. The BBC is institutionally Marxist and its willing mimions have been cowed into unconditional support for this Government. Crick is a pathetic, ridiculously over-paid, fat excuse of a journalist. only within the context of the BBC could the Spellman fiasco be such a big story.
Dorries hahahahahahahahha!!!!!
Well, as we all know - Politics is a dirty business - let Gordon Brown jump in the deep end. If he enjoys swimming he's in the right place - but don't pretend he is doing us a favour to make it free - it's laughable - who wants to go swimming? (those who are that keen don't mind paying) - he is so out of his depth that it has obviously become a preoccupation..... - new series of Monty Python going well.
Yes, Crick said on air on Newsnight that his source was a "Tory" (a Europhile MEP, no doubt), but the BBC still stirred the story up and closed ranks around Crick.
It is a left-wing conspiracy and who more leftwing than Europhile MEPs caught with its snout in the trough.
I see on the BBC website the Home Secretary comments in the shot policeman in Manchester "This shows the danger the police face"
Pardon?
From the Telegraph and with thanks to gordon our prudent snoteating freak...
Families should brace themselves for drop in the standard of living not seen since the oil shocks of the 1970s, economists warned after official figures showed the price of oil and food had hit a record high.
At least Tractor production is up.

Not only that Mr Mancunian, did you hear the laughable lies she trotted out from the "British Crime Survey" alleging reductions of 30-50% in violent and gun crime. She must take us all for complete cunts, unless the "British" means that aliens are excluded from the figures in much the same way as food, fuel, and housing are excluded from Gov inflation figures.
The stupid fucking harridan doesn't even realise that there are two syllable in "police", to her - the "pleece".
THIS is a home secretary? Tits or not she is an embarassment to the nation.
I am so far to the right that I make Nadine and Commie Ron look like a pair of commie bastards, as most CONservatives are pussified over the EU they too are commie bastards - hang the lot. You steal taxpayers money for a Nanny? You get stuffed. All of you. CONservative or whatever. There IS no conservative party in the nation. Commie Ron got cold feet on a post ratification (of the Lisbon EU Constitutional Treaty) referendum. He is no leader - he is a self seeking liberal and he is as the wife of a French diplomat remarked after enduring Ron's company for a few minutes
"a blancmange". If Commie Ron was a real conservative he would not force MEP lists on the electorate - he is no more a believer in democracy than Mugabe.

RDS appologises unreservedly for being crap at tv timings and publishing them as vitriolic relish
What's with Crick's white suit?
Has he been ordained into the Church of Martin Bell?
The Guardian today..
What should a gentleman wear in the summer that is smart but seasonal?
Tricky, tricky. But the answer comes, as it so often does, from Newsnight. Simon, and all the other few remaining gentlemen out there, I counsel you to take tips from Michael Crick, who last week was sporting a quite fabulous summer suit that was, if memory serves, a symphony of pastels. Faithful readers know that this page is not generally a fan of pastels, mainly because they make you resemble a 70s golfer if you're a man, or Cherie Blair if you're a woman. But on Michael, hot damn! The look totally worked! So a lightly coloured, linen suit is the answer, Simon. Michael Crick - style icon of summer 08. Official.
An interesting article on Nadine Dorries the defender of family values in the DAILY MAIL
RDS Said:
"RDS appologises unreservedly for being crap at tv timings and publishing them as vitriolic relish"
RDS, you are my Dad and I claim £5.00.
I saw Giles Chichester in a white suit once - it was a horrible sight!
Anon, 3:13 -- a quote from that article: "While her husband stood behind her raising their family ..."
This is more detail than we require, especially from a newspaper that might be seen by children.
Nadine Dorries is a fucking chav who reckons she's a Scouser when she's no-where near, and who reckons all her nursing experience (she quit 20 years ago) gives her the right to take us back eighty years wrt abortion, just to satisfy her Christian moralism (it doesn't say anywhere in the Bible abortion is wrong. Now she flaunts her daughter for good PR! No wonder former Mr. Dorries fled the home-that's why she has to go on girls nights out with Mrs Dale
Has the mad cow's blog gone offline now? Or should I be thankful to my ISP?
Dammit. Was the sodding router.
I agree with Nadine on the BBC. It is a propaganda machine for the establishment in general and Labour in particular. And if anybody thinks that Labour is part of the new media-politica establishment, then think again.
For goodness sake, it's not exactly a secret about the BBC's left tendency, is it? The sooner the likes of Maitliss, Marr, Ashley, Sopel,Paxman etc etc are removed to their natural home - ULab HQ - the better. There are plenty of talented 'non-celeb' journalists out there who could do a better job at a fraction of the cost. Talk about the medium being more important than the message!
You can tell that the BBC News organisation has become tainted with the celeb culture by the way incoherent popstars, or whatever they're called nowadays, regularly turn up on so-called serious shows like 'This Week' and the 'Daily Politics' and spout rubbish. There's no need for it and it demeans the BBC.
