Hitting those young disabled scroungers and workshy cancer ridden spongers right where it hurts

God bless our undemocratic and antiquated second chamber.

"Hey, we really are the scum you think we are!"

(I like how they use £1.6bn/5 years, as £320m/year would make them seem like miserly penny-pinchers kicking Tiny Tim's crutches away)

"You are HOW old? Will Smith's daughter Willow looks well beyond her 11 years on the red carpet in yellow gown"

"Aren't they a bit short for your age? Teenage sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner slip into thigh-skimming mini dresses"

Blech.

Think this cunto might not have joined the right party in the first place:

Mr Bozier, 27, who now runs his own digital business, said: "The Labour Party today is not the Labour Party I joined six years ago when Tony Blair was leader.

"Blair and New Labour had the reforming zeal to radically change our public services. It was a pro-aspiration, pro-business party, which made sense to me and to the country. The party has moved so far away from it that I no longer wish to be a part of it. At the same time, Cameron's policies have picked up that reforming zeal and are continuing in the spirit of Blair, so I have decided to join the Conservatives."

lol

LOL @ Gove. So stuuuuupid.

The Gove thing has to be a set-up for the Queen to gracefully decline a new yacht thereby proving that we are, in fact, all in it together.

xpost it's more "support whoever's winning" re Bozier.

Queen in "fuckin' avin it son!" shocka!

Fully support everyone on ILX chipping in to buy a massive fuckoff yacht, but only if Matt DC can play balearic yacht techno on it!

Mr Gove wrote: "In spite, and perhaps because of the austere times, the celebration should go beyond those of previous jubilees and mark the greater achievement that the diamond anniversary represents.

Repulsive little twerp

New yacht for the Queen? We're all on it together.

Let it sail close to the shore so we can all wave!

(too soon? My name is Frankie Boyle good evening!)

2.30pm: Michael Gove, the education secretary, takes questions in the Commons.

It's not the arrogance that appals me about Gove there, it's the sycophancy of the smarmy little man.

I think that's a given.

Tory cabinet minister arrogant, insensitive and a royalist sycophant.

He also charged the taxpayer for eight coffee spoons and cake forks, worth £5.95 each, four breakfast knives and a woven door mat worth £30.

I mean, how would you expect someone earning £64,000 a year to effectively discharge their parliamentary duties without some free fucking spoons?

wtf is a 'breakfast knife'?

things you don't have to wash up before dinner.

First mention of Michael Gove on ILX is prescient.

Michael Gove is a cockfarmer.

to be fair £60m is only a quid each and i dislike the queen less than some of my work colleagues.

as long as i get to sign a massive birthday card

£60m would be the cost of the boat - I suspect there might be some ongoing costs associated with it. Of course I'm sure the Queen wouldn't mind if it was branded up like a football shirt if it saved us all a few bob.

Take the £60mn out of the salaries of MPs, and double as much out of the millionaires in the cabinet.

If that means generations of their families starving to death, so be it.

Joining the Tories from Labour seems more like just a change of tie colour than it ever has.

I keep imaging the Queen's new yacht to be unveiled on Jubliee Day and it's made of gold, pure gold, and is called HMS Bling. This hasn't been officially announced, has it?

yachts take like 5 years to build, so she better be happy with an IOU

xxp total salary of MPs is less than 60m, so they would owe us money

Cameron has come out against it apparently. Maybe it would be a bit less brazenly arrogant if they bought her a submarine instead?

If he was STRONG LEADER he would fire Gove (preferably from out of a cannon from the deck of the Queen's new yacht)

Cameron's playing as blinder this week. He gets someone to make noises about a royal yacht then gets to put the idea down and show he's in touch with the people, and in doing so he also gets Ed Miliband to agree with him on yet another issue (in the same week Ed's come out in support of civil service pay freezes and protecting the Union from upstart Scottish Nationalists).

Amazed that Miliband is stupid enough to fall for that one from Cameron, he is beyond redemption and parody by now. Given that forecasters are saying we might be in a recession already, this is a particularly dumb time for Labour to decide they actually agree with the coalition on significant chunks of economic policy.

I'm sorry, I forgot, it's about "credibility".

Cameron's playing as blinder this week.

Yeah, I keep waiting for this smug bastard to fall on his fat face and for it to be reported that he'd fallen on his fat face and for him to be admonish for falling on his fat face

Milliband is just such a pathetically useless fucknugget.

Next campaign slogan's leaked already?

just for a change i'll be fair.

to me, it sort of speaks well of emil that he's such a useless professional media-friendly politician. the problem being that his job is to be a professional media-friendly politician.

he's such a useless professional media-friendly politician

Yes, but what is he good at? I honestly can't work out what his strengths are.

i think his response to the dianne abbott furore was the last straw for me. what she said was clumsy and unwise, but the public dressing down made it clear whose side emil and labour are on - and its the daily mail readers.

i don't know either but anything's better than being a pro politician in the 21st century. maybe he's really funny when he's drunk or something.

"Labour MP Tom Harris had posted Downfall parody video likening Alex Salmond to Hitler"

It's the constant shitting on benefit claimants that's winding me up. You'd think that the question of 'WHERE ARE THE JOBS?' would be resonant enough to counter that but he's just not brave enough to make that case.

Also coming out in favour of a welfare cap now, when it could prove to be a complete disastrous clusterfuck, is really stupid.

If Miliband were leading Labour in 1990 he'd be constantly telling people that he was "not opposed to a poll tax in principle".

"Labour MP Tom Harris had posted Downfall parody video likening Alex Salmond to Hitler"

... his party's led by some called Johann!

I don't understand the current labour party.

Also lol if a Downfall parody gets someone fired. It truly is the age of meme.

Surely above all else, the fact he posted it in the first place without thinking through the consequences shows he's a completely inept social media tsar?

.. which is the point, yes.

"completely inept" "Scottish Labour Party" = interchangeable
