I dunno, I'm on the fence here. He's never been a "back to basics", "family values" trumpeteer so it's not like the Tory sleaze scandals- when on the one hand they were preaching the strength of family etc, while every single one of them was up to something. So it's not so much a case of personal hypocrisy. I'm thinking more Paddy Ashdown than David Mellor.

You can say he criticised tory sleaze, but it ties into the same thing- he's not criticising their private lives, he's criticising them for the hypocrisy of their public vs their private lives.

As far as I can see, he didn't deny it on record either, so there's not deceiving the public.

He also did the right thing when there was that ridiculous outcry about the child she had when she was a kid... Not just defending her, but getting properly stuck into the press. Not that that's anything particularily spectacular, it's just the decent thing to do, but it's all brownie points.

On balance... If he'd actually punched Danbert Nobacon's lights out instead of keeping his head, I'd say keep him. But he hasn't punched wquite enough people recently to justify his prominance.

As soon as I heard he almost battered that prat off Chumbawamba he had me.


I would like the next PM to be a big northern bloke, with a Lancs accent, whose Dad worked down't Pit Lad, whose Ma cleaned gaffs, whose brother sells plumbers fittings, and he drinks swift halves and eats pies. And has arms like a fecking black smith. And greasy black hair.

And batters little scrotes who rob Subarus. And never saw the point in raves.

And leans over to rip out massive silent farts in Parliment that distress all around.

I would vote for him in a second.

Yes but do you want to have his children?

I'm with Northwind on this.

With the Tories what made it ridiculous was the droning mantra of 'family values' while they were all off shagging their mistresses.

He's not a hypocrite...but a barsteward...and I feel for his wife.

Why would any one sleep with that - sorry my opinion

and yes I feel for his wife
