As the end of another year rapidly approaches, I thought it would be interesting and potentially humerous to try and remember what happened to some of the "high profile" MPs who dissappeared and to speculate as to what they do now...

A few examples to get you started: -

Nigel Lawson, former fat Chancellor who got the "fat-cat" Eurojob and then got thin and wrote a book about it. His other claim to fame is as Nigella's dad!

Jailbird Jeffrey Archer, former disgraced Chairman of the Tory Party, highly successful author multi-millionairre and alledged "playboy". Set to make loads more money from writing about his prison experiences

Now what ever happened to Stephen Byers?

Who was the rich Tory MP who owned a castle, drove a car like Mr Toad and alledgedly did a mother and daughter threesome (sounds like an interesting bloke) ...think his name was Clark? How did he make his money?

What did John "Two Jags" Prescott do after his brief boxing career Any suggestions?

What happened to the MP who got caught having a sg with the Spanish women on the floor...did he become "Minister for Fun"?

Has Keith Vaz disappeared?

What happens to former New Labour "Spin Doctors"?

Disgraced former Tory MP Neil Hamilton was recently seen on TV decorating a pair of chocolate breasts...this is so unlikely it must be true!

I will be watching this thread eagerly!!!!

Ok - there's Ron Davies - who was the first of the New Labour cheats and liars to realise being in Government is not the same as being in Opposition - caught doing something odd on Clapham Common - since then his presence in Westminster doing his job as an MP has been, shall we say, erring towards the negligible...

Norman Lamont, now Lord Lamont of Negative-Equity is seen wandering the streets of Westminster between lunch and business meetings as a non-exec director of dodgy businesses such as split capital investment funds that lose money almost as fast as the Dome did.

Hey what about the Dome - it has all the qualifications to be an honorary MP - useless, full of rubbish, extremely expensive and can't easily be gotten rid of.. and it sits next to the River Thames.

Unfortunately Labour MPs, once they've resigned or been sacked get at least one chance to make a comeback under the now world-famous Blair Judgement of Character Rehabilitation Scheme - witness Mandelson, that caravan-towing haridan Beckett was given the boot 'cos she was useless and now she's back with her mindless drivel, and then there's Harriet Harman - now Soliciting General.

Speaking of Margaret Beckett, i thought Halloween was over.
This munter could trick or treat every day of the year.
Could i get a petition together to force her, it? to wear a Burka? Preferably a double skinned jobby.

she's definitely a three-bagger...and she always looks in need of a sleeping pill or two of the 9mm variety...

The sheep had better watch out then!

How about "Windbag Kinnock" he has done really well joining the "Euro-gravy train"...as has his wife!

Why did Mo Mowlam suddenly disappear...a few months ago you couldn't open a paper without seeing her!

Why doesn't anyone mention the MP that got blown up by the IRA at Westminster Palace car park?

What does William Hague do now has he gone back to college?

Neil Hamilton - You all know this one

Johnathon Aitken - Perjury

Nicholas Ridley - resigned after slagging off the Germans - Ridley was a really nice guy - not at all like his public persona

Tim Yeo - Fathered a kid by his mistress but now back in shadow cabinet

Paddy pantsdown - over the side for years and popularity soared when caught

Robin Cook - Over the side with (and now married to) the woman with the worst eyesight in the world

Jeremy Thorpe - Accused of trying to have his ex boyfriend murdered

Edwina Curry - various crimes against humanity

Theresa Gorman - had tacky changes made to her home without getting [planning permission)

John Redwood - laughable attempt to sing in welsh!!

Peter Brooke - was far too polite to Irish chat show host and got persuaded to sing a song (My Darling Clementine) on the evening of an IRA massacre - resigned (another nice guy this one)

The bloke with the castle and the vintage car collection (some of which he kept in the DTI underground car park) was Alan Clarke - He inherited his money BTW

Cecil Parkinson - fathered kid by his secretary

John Gummer - fed burger to his young daughter during BSE crisis

Should I go on I have dozens of these!! Not that I'm bitter after working for most of them mind!!
