John Rentoul and Margaret Beckett: Never Seen Together

by craig on June 10, 2009 4:15 pm in Sleaze

More evidence that inane Blairite cheerleader John Rentoul and Margaret Beckett are in fact the same person.

Rentoul is plugging Beckett as the new Speaker to reform the House of Commons.

That’s Margaret Beckett, who for years lived in a government “Grace and Favour” mansion as a minister, while at the same time the taxpayer paid the mortgage on her “Second home”, while she rented out her “Main home” and pocketed tens of thousands of pounds more cash?

These people really do make me sick. Absolutely shameless.

    Both are ‘Nosferatu’ look-a-likes.

    Oh I forgot, Maggs Beckett is in line to be the new Speaker.

    You couldn’t make it up.

    I thought you were doing a Private Eye Lookalike item here. Both skeletal hags.

    PS I always believed her second home was a ‘Bailey Pageant’ caravan.

    Carbon-dated Egyptian mummies, at around 3,000 years of age.

    You can’t fool me. Actually they’re both Jim Murphy, current Gauleiter for Scotland, and I claim my £5.

    for anybody who might consider margaret beckett as an appropriate speaker, I suggest they check out the bbc i-player of Question Time ( 14th May).

    for any MPs thinking of voting for her….remember….that it’s not a secret ballot….and your coats are already hanging on a very shakey nail.

    She is second favourite. Incredible.

    I0 pm BBC News is just revealing a new scandal that has been happening in the Commons. MPs Amess, Hollobone and Hood have not declared their financial interests when asking questions.

    She’s now 5/2 favourite :-(

    I would be surprised if she won, though. When Sir George Young stood for speaker in 2000 his recent front bench experience was held against him; Beckett has been a Minister for most of the past 12 years. The other thing is her manner and voice: would MPs want to put up with them day in, day out? For the same reasons, I think Field and Widdecombe will also fail.

    Auch Vronsy’s stolen my thunder! Indeed they fall into the ghoul mould along with Jim Murphy.

    Mary’s news that she’s second favourite leaves me in shock. How low will these labour people go to destroy our democracy.

    Should anyone be interested I would rather like to see Anne Widdecombe in the green chair.
