Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

It just gets worse and worse.

The list of REBELS updates.

Nadine is their as is JOHN REDWOOD..........shocking. Gauke aswel.......oh dear.

Going to be internal troubles with the Tories for months now. Camoron will have to stand down looking at that list, they just dont trust him.

Full list of Tory Absentees
DfID Minister Alan Duncan Misses Vote as well as Greening

The number of Tory MPs to rebel was more than double the majority Dave lost his vote by, as was the number of Tory MPs who abstained or did no bother to show up to yesterday’s vote. Guido imagines that their excuses will be tested heavily today as the Whips and Downing Street try to work out how they got it so spectacularly wrong. Here is the full list:

Adam Afriyie
Henry Bellingham
Graham Brady
William Cash
Christopher Chope
Kenneth Clarke
Geoffrey Cox
Nadine Dorries
Alan Duncan
Nigel Evans
David Gauke
Justine Greening
Alan Haselhurst
Chris Kelly
Pauline Latham
Edward Leigh
Charlotte Leslie
Ian Liddell-Grainger
Jack Lopresti
Anne Main
Patrick Mercer
Jesse Norman
James Paice
Priti Patel
John Redwood
Andrew Rosindell
David Ruffley
Mark Simmonds
Rory Stewart
David Tredinnick
Andrew Tyrie
Bill Wiggin
Tim Yeo

There are some obvious names on there for ill-health but some notable future leadership contenders like Jesse Norman, Rory Stewart are Priti Patel stick out. As does Justine Greening’s deputy at International Development Alan Duncan. Greening is in all sorts of trouble for “not hearing” the division bell, but it looks even weirder that her junior minister did not turn up either. Curious…

Fred - I know - the point I was making is that the press and more so twitter - is often taken as gospel.

The reason that the number of rebels is more than the margin the vote was lost by is because Labour MPs voted with the government.

Skinny,

I know, and was baiting.

Recall the build up to Suez and was hitching hiking in the Midlands when it blue up and America thinking it was not in their interest to support their "allies".

Actually, a bad decision by Eden, who until then had had a large amount of respect.

But, his decision then may have been influential on M.E. developments after that.

ken Clarke voted against CAMERON . that about fcuks Cameron and the government
call an election today lets get UKIP IN POWER

paddy ashdown what a bloody plonker why does he not go and fight with the terrorists it would about sum him up

what do the libs stand for what are their policies on nuclear wars human rights
when their leaders are war mongers paddy ashdown is a war monger

Ashdown has a military view. He was in the SBS (the naval version of the SAS). His view may be more accurate than that of others with no military knowledge.

CAMERON should call an election now the voters do not trust him are the clowns at is side

hay . so he can NOT be a lib impossible

Once again you are wrong. Ken Clarke was not in the Commons for the vote. He was present at the security committee meeting and supported the Conservative motion.

At least two of the people in the list above did not vote against the government, Greening and Simmonds. They missed the vote as the division bell was not rung.

Huddled together like cattle in a cage no bigger than a shed some of the men of El Salvador's prison pits have languished in these rancid, disease ridden holding cells for more than a year.


Designed only for temporary 72-hour stays, the sweltering cells, each 12 feet wide and 15 feet tall are crammed with more than 30 people - all veterans of the country's vicious war between the MS-13 and M18 gangs.


Segregated along tribal gang-lines, the men in these inhumane cells are hidden from public view, but one reporter from counter-culture magazine VICE, managed to gain access to throw light on the grizzly conditions they are consigned to spend their days living in.


what about these poor sods no gives a toss el salavdor kills peole ever day nothing said WHY NOT

hays then the list is wrong and he did NOT vote then he voted against

Cameron call an election and be brave for once .

Cameron can't call an election. We now have 5 year fixed term parliaments.

Miliband was just playing politics last night. It may return to bite him.
