A Miliband disgraces himself
Foreign Secretary Milliband disgraces himself with propaganda worthy of the old Marxists: The foreign secretary, David Miliband, today made a politically sensitive attack on the Tories, saying the Conservative party’s new alliances in Europe made him feel “sick”, and meant that the party was run by “a bunch of schoolboys”. Much of Miliband’s annual speech to the Labour conference was devoted to a critique of the Tories’ foreign policy and, in particular, their new relationships being forged in Europe. Miliband […]

The Sun Says “Labour’s lost it”
The Sun destroys Gordon Brown’s speech and record: TWELVE years ago, Britain was crying out for change from a divided, exhausted Government. Today we are there again. In 1997, “New” Labour, shorn of its destructive hard-Left doctrines and with an energetic and charismatic leader, seemed the answer. Tony Blair said things could only get better, and few doubted him. But did they get better? Well, you could point to investment in schools and shorter hospital waiting lists and say yes, […]

You’ve been Fleeced!
Via the Taxpayers’ Alliance: On Monday, Matthew Elliott and David Craig released their new book Fleeced! How we’ve been betrayed by the politicians, bureaucrats and bankers… and how much they’ve cost us, published by Constable.

Caroline Spelman MP: The Labour Government has shamefully neglected its duty to defend the realm by leaving the country dangerously exposed if firefighters go out on strike
Few could forget the images of the Green Goddesses rolling into service during the national fire strikes of 2002 and 2003, manned by the Armed Forces. This week the threat of fire strikes hang over us again as a result of local industrial disputes spanning London, South Yorkshire, Humberside, Merseyside and Essex. The prospect of being without our firefighters is very worrying indeed, but all the more so because of the reckless way in which the Government has left us […]

Does the man have no shame!? – Jack Perschke
Jack Perschke, PPC for Derby South, attacks the preposterous rhetoric of the Leader of the Labour Group for Derby City Council: He talks about the triumph of Labour over unscrupulous employers – presumably he’s happy with the bank fat cats who on Labour’s watch have privatised profit and nationalised losses. Is it really a triumph for ordinary people that every man, woman and child in this country is saddled with a £20,000 share in the national debt? via Does the […]

The rot that set in as New Labour took root – Telegraph
There has been a spate of books recently on liberty and democracy. On my desk as I write there are half a dozen published within the past few months with titles such as What Price Liberty?; The Assault on Liberty; Democracy: a Thousand Years in Pursuit of British Liberty; and A Useful Fiction: Adventures in British Democracy. Their publication is a timely reminder of how we got where we are and evidence that cracks were appearing in our political system […]

BBC NEWS | Health | NHS ‘faces huge budget shortfall’

The NHS Confederation report says the health service in England will not survive unchanged, the BBC has learned. Managers at its conference will be told they face an “extremely challenging” financial outlook. Health Secretary Andy Burnham said […]

MPs’ expenses: Lynne Jones claimed £1,000 for wallpaper – Telegraph
When I read the following, I think of all those individuals and families in modestly- and low-paid jobs, who still pay tax, and I get really quite angry. Perhaps it is due to my ordinary upbringing and my personal knowledge of family and family friends who are not well-off, but who are apparently still funding this: Lynne Jones, the far-Left Labour MP, billed the taxpayer more than £1,100 for upmarket Farrow & Ball wallpaper as part of a redecoration programme […]
