northernscum Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Seems like our favourite No campaigner is getting his reward of ermine from his beloved Westminster overlords. Whoodah thunk it, eh? *At last Gordon Brown does something honourable, by refusing his offer of a peerage* A Labour source also told the newspaper that David Blunkett and Alistair Darling are in line for peerages, while Gordon Brown is thought to have refused the honour. The list of nominess was drawn up by former Labour leader Ed Miliband, but is reportedly being delayed as interim leader Harriet Harman adds names of her own, which are thought to include her long-standing adviser, Ayesha Hazarika. - See more at: https://www.politicshome.com/party-politics/articles/story/jack-straw-denied-peerage-over-lobbying-scandal#sthash.6Nqw6Ncl.dpuf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotlad Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I'm only surprised that anyone's surprised (if indeed they are). I do wonder, though, if that young man carrying the banner proclaiming support for a workers' republic ever genuinely believed in one? Maybe he did - just not for Scotland or the UK.

buckielugger Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I think people have missed out FCKING COWARD from the various descriptions of Darling. He knew he would get stuffed if he stood for re-election and chose instead to skulk off to the House of Losers along with all the other useless undemocratic parasites that populate those red benches... And by the way, none of them pay any tax on their Lords salaries !!! Scum the lot of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckielugger Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Exile, indeed. And obviously no point whatsoever. Mr Darling of course left behind being a workers' representative many years ago, if he ever was at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
