Continuing my occasional series, it transpires that Siobhain McDonagh MP, the Whip who was sacked for suggesting that The Goblin King might seriously consider f***ing off, is the sister of Baroness McDonagh, who was the Labour party's General Secretary under Tony Bliar.
Even by Nulab standards, Ms McDonut has an impressive CV:
She was a clerical officer for the DHSS between 1981-3, then a Housing benefit (sic) from 1983-4, then a receptionist at the Wandsworth Homeless Persons Unit from 1984-6, and a housing adviser from 1986-8. Prior to being elected to Parliament she worked as a Development Manager for Battersea Churches Housing Trust from 1988-97.

Once upon a time it was probably argued that although many Labour MPs had no education, and a very narrow experience of life, there was compensation in that that narrow experience would have been instructive. Not now, eh? Ignorant, stupid, and bathed in an experience like tepid shite.
Never anything outside the public trough. That is the real change in Labour MPs - they may once have all been bloody minded ex-shop stewards but they were shop stewards in real factories where real workers had elected them. You can see why I like John Prescott.
dearieme: "there was compensation in that that narrow experience would have been instructive."
Do you mean like Michael Martin?
Neil Craig: "You can see why I like John Prescott."
Because he is as thick as shit?
Most worrying of all is that this person was not just another anonymous piece of braindead lobby fodder but a salaried member of the government (although why whips, who serve a purely party purpose, are paid by the taxpayers is beyond me).
