Hansard

I wonder if the staid columns of Hansard have ever seen language quite like this before?

Richard Desmond is a substantial benefactor to the Labour party. Did the treasurer of the Labour party ask Richard Desmond from which part of his considerable wealth he was donating handsomely to new Labour’s coffers? Did the treasurer of the Labour party—I apologise to the right hon. and learned Member for Camberwell and Peckham (Ms Harman) for the language that I am about to use—ask if Mr. Desmond was giving from the profits of “Spunk-Loving Sluts”, “Asian Babes”, XXX pornographic television, or the profits of the Daily Star?

Galloway eh? Tsk tsk. A later quotation just about sums up his political method.

I warn the hon. Gentleman [Andrew Robathan] that just because there is a lot of him and not many of me, he need not think I am outnumbered.
