DEM not gonna CON dis NATION: Rolling UK politics in the short-lived post-Murdoch era

The Tories certainly thought so cos he kept beating them in elections.

Well, by that reckoning they must think Brazil are a terrible football team.

good lookin' guy http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/67910000/jpg/_67910721_mercer_pa.jpg

who is the Downing Street Shagger?

John Prescott & Anne Widecombe. Calling it now.

i may ever cease vomiting

Lead theory on Twitter this afternoon is Samantha Cameron and Boris Johnson. Allegations as to parenthood of a child.

This one seems popular.

Followed by Hague and mystery man.

ach gott mein eyes

Cameron's wife and Boris is just too hilarious to be true. Also, virtually logistically impossible.

Dream scenario would be Clegg and someone but I understand they're both Tories.

1) pick two random Tories
2) imagine 'scenario'
3) vom

not in cabinet but important enough to be a big deal? how many candidates can there be?

meanwhile, pro tip for members of the upper house. if a dude you've never met before offers you a bag full of cash to plug his business interests, you might wanna check see if he's wearing a wire.

Cameron's wife and Nigel Farage?

Why can't the Mail disclose who they are "for legal reasons"? Because no source is willing to speak up and they'd be sued for libel?

implication is there's a superinjunction in place

which rules out any member of the Cameron household imo

My first thought was Liam Fox, there's a lot of smoke around that guy at pretty much all times, plus he was running the MoD, although that would be too public-interest for a superinjunction. Maybe Bercow-related?

Boris having an extramarital affair hardly constitutes a 'dynamite revelation' really.

whole thing feels a bit overplayed by the Mail hacks, wonder if there's some actual bad news they want burying

Dream scenario would be Clegg and someone but I understand they're both Tories.

splittin hairs there Matt

x-post

What, that they're all doing the cash for questions fiddle.

It has been said that they are middle-aged figures and that the affair has now concluded. It does not involve anyone serving in the cabinet.

Boris having an extramarital affair hardly constitutes a 'dynamite revelation' really.

Yeah, surely Boris having a dalliance is on the dog-bites-man end of the news spectrum?

This guy must not think anything of long prison sentences.

This guy must not think anything

ps is that david quantick y/n?

i want that guy sending down just cos he sets the crepe detector thru the roof tbh

Nathan Barley?

I guess we just have to wait for tomorrow's French/Italian/American papers to be published

they're not politicians but they're close to the pm

clue's in the link

Going to spend the rest of my evening watching all that guy's youtube videos.

(two pairs of initials in the html)

(this is the clue i'm seeing being floated around)

they're not politicians but i guess this posed a conflict of interest?

OH SHIT.

If it is them, is it really something that could 'bring down Cameron'?

Alan Carr and Rebecca Black?!?!?!

AHAAAHAAAHAHAAH

Too late to never become the story, but still, if that's true....

WHO WHO WHO?

I don't see how it could sink Cameron, it's not any worse than anything we already know about these people but fuck it's an unpleasant image.

OH SHIT I JUST FIGURED IT OUT and really what would this have to do with Cameron?

[obv we can't really have this conversation here]

It just further confirms Cameron's lack of judgement in hiring him in the first place. There's also the irony of those associated with the news of the screws having a super injunction out on this. Other than that it's just a distraction.

Conflict of interest I can see, but yeah, not sure how it's more devastating than anything else?

xp

Oh, and here I was, thinking it was the marching powder at a particular wedding that was going to do for DC.

Old story, entirely unrelated

TBF these tories are rather vanilla in their sleaziness compared to the early 90s lot.

okay the furore is making more sense

I have a lazy "tap that" gag ready to go, someone let me know when it's safe to do so

If we said that a certain soap actor cum fake tv hardman had been cuckolded we'd be about right, yes?

I have a lazy "tap that" gag ready to go, someone let me know when it's safe to do so

I like it.

Despite clean-shavenness, always suspected SACTVH had the benefit of a sumptuous ginger beard.

I'd always thought they were both bearded.

This superinjunction shite making all Brits go ohh shhhh all the time cracks me up. What a ridiculous medieval law, Christ.

But then I am a bit sour because i haven't figured out the initials yet :-(
