"A Labour MP has been suspended from the party after was arrested following an alleged brawl in a House of Commons bar last night. Eric Joyce is said to have punched several Tory MPs in the fracas just before 11pm last night. It is reported he also hit a Labour MP…A tw*t then.
An eyewitness told the Politics Home website that Mr Joyce, a former Army officer who represents Falkirk, pushed a Tory MP and then started punching other Conservative members seated at the back of the bar. Drinks were also allegedly thrown over some bar patrons… Joyce, 51, complained the bar, popular with MPs from both parties, was 'full of Tories'…
Joyce, 51, has served only briefly on the frontbenches, acting as a Northern Ireland spokesman following the 2010 election defeat until forced to resign later that year when he lost his driving licence for failing to provide a breath test…
He rose to the rank of major in the Royal Army Educational Corps… A series of articles and media interviews in which he accused the Army of private school bias put him on a collision course with the top brass, and he quit in 1999.
AFTER WORKING FOR THE COMMISSION FOR RACIAL EQUALITY Scotland for some months, he was elected to Parliament as Labour MP for Falkirk West in a by-election…
In Parliament, he has developed an interest in AFRICA AND INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT alongside his defence concerns…
Mr Joyce set an extraordinary record by CLAIMING MORE THAN £200,000 EXPENSES IN A SINGLE YEAR IN 2010... Nicknamed 'Airmiles Eric', Mr Joyce clocked up £45,411 in travel costs. The figure is equal to nearly £1,600 for every week Parliament sits.”
A greedy, self-serving bullyboy and a right royal tw*t to boot. He’s a warmonger as well. Joyce was just about the most oft seen face of slavering backbench enthusiasm for slaughter in the build up to war in Iraq.
