Benefit fraud - the fraud is that there is still the same amount now as in 2006!

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/ministers-urged-to-publish-more-accurate-figures-on-benefit-fraud-that-show-it-is-07-of-claims-9372335.html How can the coalition keep on saying we're all skivers etc. when they don't even get their facts straight?

One in five people fail trial periods at work...

http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/475098/One-in-five-British-people-fail-trial-periods-at-work-due-to-poor-performance Hardly surprising when all the jobseeker gets is two sentences describing the roles and agencies that don't even know the working hours or pay rates! Yet the coalition will not change the rules for recruitment agencies or job websites!

This guy has written 702 letters to David Cameron - a letter a day!

Come from Cornwall or Wales - your worse off than those from Estonia and Lithuania!

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/collapse-in-pay-lies-behind--britains-return-to-work-9324388.html The grim truth about pay and living standards in some the regions of the UK has also been highlighted by official EU figures showing that parts of Britain are effectively poorer that countries from former communist countries in Eastern Europe. People in Cornwall and the Welsh Valleys are worse off than residents of Estonia and Lithuania, according to Eurostat figures comparing wealth across the EU using a measure known as “purchasing power standards” - which takes into account GDP per person and cost of living. In addition, Durham and the Tees Valley, in the north east of England, are poorer than those in the wealthiest regions of Bulgaria and Romania, the two most deprived countries in the EU. The DWP peddles some lies at the bottom of the page again!

Jobseekers now MUST take zero hour contracts!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-27289148 What exactly does Esther McVey know about the jobs market? Not much according to this article! The coalition: putting round pegs into square holes AGAIN! One in five employers has at least one employee on a zero-hours contract Staff have no guaranteed hours They are entitled to holiday pay The contracts are often used in retail and in the hospitality sector

Cameron amazingly has the cheek to say others are all talk and no delivery!

http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/473558/Renewing-his-EU-referendum-pledge-David-Cameron-will-do-whatever-it-takes Cameron - that's you!

So if she isn't even supposed to be in the country, why is she still here? Kenyan fraudster...

http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/473379/Kenyan-fraudster-committed-26-000-benefits-scam-despite-NOT-having-permission-to-be-in-UK Just beggars belief that our MPs and Home Office can be so daft!

epetition to get the coalition and local council to create more jobs in the local area!

https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/complete-lack-of-job-creation Please sign, we need the council to wake up to the fact that there are so few jobs out there! Even though they tell us the opposite!

How out of touch Labour is with public feeling!

http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/473192/WATCH-Paxman-steps-in-as-row-between-Ukip-chief-and-ex-Labour-minister-gets-personal Shows how out of touch the Labour Party is with public feeling! My local councillor actually said i was low skilled despite having technical training,which when she was shown the certificates via email she suddenly went very quiet! My local MP is Labour as is the councillor, they still want to keep immigrants coming into the country even though there is no work for the residents. All we have here is contract work, which is impossible to get due to intra company transfers, zero hour contracts and being in a queue of around 130 people! Never have i seen such a jobs crisis in the UK, yet the three main parties - Liberals, Conservatives and Labour all still want it to carry on as if nothing is wrong, despite being regularly told of the issues!

Intra company transfers

Bet its still happening and loads are coming in... No wonder there is no work for the residents! http://www.computerweekly.com/news/1280095897/Public-Accounts-Committee-slams-intra-company-transfer-controls All in the name of cheapness! But what happens to the english IT staff - jobhunting i reckon!

Even the EU states there has been a decrease in people being able to find jobs

http://ec.europa.eu/europe2020/pdf/2014/jer2014_en.pdf You'll find it on page 6, though its a long and hard to read document!

Why when the firms working with DWP want reports published, does the DWP not do it?

http://ukcampaign4change.com/2012/03/29/millions-of-pounds-of-secret-dwp-reports/ Because what they are saying to the general public isn't true? Thats my guess!

DWP refused leave to appeal by judge!

http://ukcampaign4change.com/2014/04/30/judge-refuses-dwp-leave-to-appeal-ruling-on-universal-credit-reports/ The dwp and jobcentreplus really is in a mess. There's lots wrong and so far they can hide, but it looks like that time might be coming to a end!
