Ex Ministers for Hire

Yet more Labour Party members (and ex ministers) have been caught in dishonest and underhand dealings. When will it all stop, or do we have a thoroughly dishonest and corrupt government at the moment?

It now seems more than obvious that these people are in politics to make money – not to represent the people who once voted them into power. How many of us earn between £3,000 and £5,000 a day?



Stephen Byers, Patricia Hewitt and Geoff Hoon were secretly filmed as part of an investigation by the Sunday Times and Channel 4's Dispatches.

Mr Byers, a former transport secretary, was filmed saying he was like a "cab for hire" who would work for up to £5,000 a day and claimed to have saved millions of pounds for National Express, which wanted to get out of its East Coast mainline franchise.

Former Defence Secretary Mr Hoon was filmed saying he wanted to make use of his international knowledge and contacts in a way that "makes money" and that he charged £3,000 a day.

Justice Secretary Jack Straw is quoted as saying it seemed they had brought Labour "into disrepute" and many MPs were angry. It seemed they had brought labour into disrepute? Come on Jack you know damned well that they have!

Our Glorious Gordon has dismissed calls for an enquiry into the alleged actions of officials and current ministers. I wonder if he knows there are yet more skeletons in the cupboard!

The sooner this vile, dishonest, money grabbing, phony set of so called honourable members go, the better!
