He's made a statement this morning (the real one) denying he said any of what was reported.

Perhaps the Twitter account was him.

Yet at the same time wouldn't answer the question of what he actually said

He deserves to be told where to go on his bike and it isn't down Downing Street

I think Michell will carry on in-post, if for no other reason than this bunch of misfits place more store on looking after their own than doing the 'right' thing. It's yet another indication of the complete contempt that Cameron & cronies feel for the electorate

Agreed. It was the most pointless "statement" ever, I think.

He is only the Chief Whip, so he doesn't actually have any Ministerial power, his job is just to discipline the Tory MPs. If he's an obnoxious fool and bully then the joke's on the Tory backbench MPs more than us.

Met now investigating how the Scum got hold of the police notes of the incident. I wonder...

Cameron can't sack him, he's only been in the post a week or so and instantly reveals exactly the sort of nature that Cameron is supposed to be denying with his insistence that "We're all in this together", Cameron appointed him, if he has to sack him a week later then he's in deep doo-doo.

Anyway Dave - where are the tapes, lets get this thing out in the open before any more damage is done.

Just checking, do we now believe everything in Murdoch's rag?

Dave really is a good judge of character isn't he?

Didn't Boris suggest that anyone who swore at police should be charged and get a criminal record, wonder if his stance has changed.

There's something in that.
Obnoxious fool and bully sounds about the right sort of personality (if that's the right word) for that role.

probably not, I doubt Boris would care if the press are on Andrew Mitchell's back, Boris isn't really a man to cultivate alliances in the party

www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politic ... on-me.html Female student on a volunteer project in Africa tells about how Mitchell threatened her and rang her Dad to vent his anger. Sounds like a right headcase. They should get a rant match Gordon Brown v Andrew Mitchell and televise it.

Have it mediated by Malcolm Tucker

No. But the fact that the Met are investigating the leak would seem to indicate that the notes are genuine. And there has also been a certain amount of corroboration from other sources.

Had to be asked, far too many taking that rag's take on events as gospel when it suits their PoV.

Even the Torygraph are in on it now [url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/conservative/9564006/In-full-Police-log-detailing-Andrew-Mitchells-pleb-rant.htmlMitchell, Police log in full[/url

Just how bad have these idiots fooked-up to make the two most pro-tory rags in the country turn against them?

Someone's lying







Come on David, where are the tapes, there has to be tapes, I don't believe that there are none, or that they've been mislaid, or accidently wiped.

We need two good journalists...

Vince Cable as Deep Throat?

I feel ill now.

Worst. Porn film. Ever.

Will Andrew Mitchell have the balls to sue the police for lying?

After all if what they are saying is untrue Mitchell should be entitled to compensation both from the police and the newspapers for damaging his reputation - what if this has derailed his career?

''Just.............follow the money.''

Since we're talking about annoying Tories - What use is a supposedly elite education that would cost over £370,000 these days when you don't even know what Magna Carta means or who wrote Rule Britannia? www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news ... ow-1346365 My comprehensive education taught me these things, just what were they actually studying at Eton?

I know, how has he even got into his position without knowing those irrelevant pieces of trivia?
