[Closed] Jeremy Hunt - P45?

Alex Salmond could be in for some heat too.

Oh please.
Nothing to do with any views on Scottish nationalism (I am broadly ambivalent unless anyone can tell me how it affects me/mine) I find him an odious little ****.

Yep he's a Copeless little Hunt. But it takes more than that to get done in politics, cos it doesn't have anything to do with him boning anyone.

Then he'd be in trouble.

Whats the dirt on Salmond?

Edit - i see it. does anyone seriously think him lobbying Westminster in favour of Murdoch would actually acheive anything? No one at Westminster owes Salmond any favours indeed the can't stand him

Just settling into TEAMSKY as well....

Hasn't the Sky lobbyist just admitted he hadn't actually dealt with/spoken to Mr Hunt? I suspect an 'advisor' is going to take the full brunt of this one....

Apparently when he 'fully disclosed' communication with New International he failed to include the emails released today.

If he is worth his salt, Adam Smith will have kept something tasty that will protect him from the full force of the government's attempt to blame him for everything.

cameron has full confidence in hunt, the same way he did with liam fox, andy coulson, that backtowork fraudster woman

(and theresa may after the immigration thing and again after the qatada thing- even though she admitted she didnt hvae any written or e-proof that she'd checked the extradition date)

murdoch is really sticking the knife in, im sure that the hunt emails might have come to light eventually and it does make him look very compromised but there was no need to remind us all that cameron had xmas dinner with the brooks and that they discussed the bskyb takeover as an aside

Oh thats a bit naughty from Salmond Captjon.

Hunt is a dead duck tho

The trouble in this situation is Cameron gave Hunt the job of overseeing the BSkyB deal. It will reflect poorly on DC to sack Hunt. The government has already started the narrative pointing the finger at Adam Smith (see Channel 4 News interview with John Whittingdale MP). That is the obvious thing to do, but this story isn't over. If Hunt goes he'll resign (forced/asked).

according to newsnight jeremy hunts own website called him a 'cheerleader for murdoch' how the **** did cameron get away with replacing cable with him!

Hmmm...an interesting Newsnight for sure. Wonder what Galloway is going to say?

Cos he is thick and corrupt and thinks the rest of us are thick

The list of possible recipients of money from Murdoch sounds like a who's who.
Ironically the Levison enquiry reports to Hunt as he's the Minister in charge - better than a Carry on Film!

I'm not thick but I could be corrupted.

haha jacob rees-mogg (could they have found a more upper class torry) just said you cant trust the evidence at levenson because it came from a pr man and you cant trust them........

as a "pr man" I object to that comment, in fact I object to Jacob Rees-Mogg completely and utterly.

thats ace lifer

I expect there are quite a few politicians sleeping badly tonight and again tomorrow. Was GG correct in claiming that this was a last hurrah for the Murdoch's as they prepare to leave the UK press? If so, could well be some scorched earth policy.

Cameron is a PR man 🙂

If so, could well be some scorched earth policy.

I certainly hope so! Who fancies toasting some marshmallows?

Scorch away i say, they've got bugger all on me.

I'm sure that's why he kept repeating it TJ -maybe he's sensing the murdochs circling in on the cabinet and getting his daggers in early
it would be nice to get the times back as a proper paper

so hunts advisor has fallen on his sword

enough to save his boss?

Not if the boss has a shred of decency or integrity.

So yes - should be more than enough.

Are there any good Jeremys out there now that Beadle's gone?

Call your son Jeremy, give him a false sense of self-worth it seems.

Well, there's me and TJ, for a start!!

I like the way murdoch was positioning brown as his enemy at levenson today claiming that brown had been irrational and unfairly attacking notw, implying that murdoch was therefore siding with the torries.
Once more building on the narrative established by his son yesterday that NI and cameron had a very cosy relationship.

a bit too conspiratorial? I dont think so, murdoch feels scorned and hes a shrewd and canny player his last act in the british press will be to bring down cameron....

Can you imagine the people bricking it about Rupes testimony. He really does know where the bodies are buried. If he felt like it, I'm sure he could take down pretty much all of 'the Establishment'

i was thinking that binners I imagine there are some very scared people right now

you dont spend 30 + years hacking phones, from the royals down (it all started with squidgygate) and not get some serious cards to stash up your sleeve

Dead in the water for sure. I give him a week. Cameron is shitting himself as well - already been caught out lying a couple of times.

I find it fascinating that:

Company directors and politicians 'mislead' Parliament /shareholders as if its all an accident - even when its clearly not.
Working and middle class are simply 'liars' if caught out.

Company directors and politicians 'offer to resign' if caught out
(& hounded enough by the papers). Such offer is often refused and they are praised.
Working and middle class are 'sacked' or 'dismissed'. Being lesser people, I guess they don't know how to write a resignation letter... shame as they may have been able to retain their job and be told how much the boss loves them!

🙂

fair play levenson

said its not his job to judge whether mps have broken the ministerial code

hunt gone by wednesday i reckon

is it spelt bullyingdon?

cameron showing his true colours and borris getting sucked into phone hacking now?

Ouch - that was poor. However provoked, a PM should be able to rise above that. It wasn't even said with any humour.

He is rattled and Skinner got it right.
