Where the Hell is Moses Kuria?

It seems Moses Kuria, the man of many portfolios, embarked on a whirlwind adventure through the halls of government, only to find himself in a comedic conundrum. Starting off strong as the Cabinet Secretary for Investments, Trade, and Industry, he was the talk of the town. But alas, fate had other plans. In a twist fit for a sitcom, Kuria found himself shuffled over to the Public Service portfolio faster than you can say "bureaucratic shuffle". Then, the plot thickened! In a classic case of diplomatic drama, the US Trade Representative, Katherine Tai, decided to give Kuria a cold shoulder after cancelling not one, but two meetings with him. The reason? His "foul mouth". Oh, the irony! It seems even the most seasoned politicians can't escape the wrath of a sharp tongue. Since then, Kuria has seemingly vanished into thin air, keeping a low profile that would make even Bigfoot jealous. Rumour has it he's taken up residence in a cozy cave somewhere, pondering th

Brown discombobulated after Labour's historic defeat

CLICK HERE TO SEE THE CROTCH ON AMANI...

Gordon Brown's political survival is in the balance after Labour suffered a devastating defeat in the European elections.

The party was beaten into third place by the UK Independence Party (Ukip) in the popular vote while the far-right British National Party (BNP) achieved a major breakthrough by gaining its first European seats. The defeat could be the catalyst for rebel Labour backbenchers plotting to oust Prime Minister Gordon Brown to come out into the open and launch a direct leadership challenge.

Labour managed just 15.4 per cent of the popular vote to Ukip's 17.5 per cent. The Tories had 28.3 per cent while the Liberal Democrats were in fourth with 14 per cent. Despite victories in the North West and Yorkshire, the BNP had a lower share of the vote than the Greens, with 6.6 per cent to their 8.8 per cent. Labour lost five seats to leave them with just 11, two fewer than Ukip with 13 and 13 behind the Conservative tally of 24.
Labour have suffered a devastating defeat at the Euro elections in their worst election result since WWII.

Deputy leader Harriet Harman admitted the results were "very dismal", saying: "Our supporters are absolutely furious with us about expenses. They expect us to have higher standards than the Tories."

The results will set the scene for a tense meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party, where the Prime Minister is expected to address his shell-shocked backbenchers later. There will be particular dismay that the party has fallen so far that it opened the door for the BNP to take seats in Yorkshire and the Humber and in the North West, where the party's leader Nick Griffin was elected.

Health Secretary Andy Burnham said: "It is a sad moment in British politics. The BNP is like the ultimate protest vote. It is how to deliver the establishment a two-fingered salute. I think largely it is a comment on Westminster politics."

Mr Griffin said: "The party is going to go on and grow very rapidly. We're going to be major contenders in a number of places in the next general election and the next wave of council elections."

Ukip leader Nigel Farage said: "This time we have come second in a major national election. That is a hell of an achievement especially given that over the last three or four weeks we have not really had a proper debate about the European question."
