http://www.no2eu.com/?page_id=56 To ferry workers across Europe to carry out jobs that local workers can be trained to perform is an environmental, economic and social nonsense. If ‘food-miles’ represent an unacceptably large carbon footprint, then ‘labour-miles’ and shunting human beings around Europe in the pursuit of profit is even more damaging. In the 1980s recession Tory minister Norman Tebbit famously told the unemployed to ‘get on their bikes’ to look for work. Now well-shod government ministers advise workers in Britain ‘to get on a plane’ and find work elsewhere in the EU!

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/budget-2015-watch-david-cameron-6033885 David 'Slick' Cameron goes back on his word after only 2 months time - what hope now?? Mr Cameron made his promise in the BBC Question Time election special on April 30 - and it's not gone unnoticed by Labour figures. Leadership contender Yvette Cooper declared on Twitter: "David Cameron told David Dimbleby that child tax credit will not fall - today he cut it." The exchange came when an audience member asked Mr Cameron to 'put to bed' rumours he'd cut child tax credit, or restrict child benefit to two children. The idea was put forward in a report by the respected Institute for Fiscal Studies think tank. He replied: "Thank you Jenny for that question. "No, I don't want to do that. This report that's out today is something I rejected at the time as Prime Minister and I reject it again today." Host David Dimbleby then pushed him on the detail, saying some people were clearly worried. The PM replied: "Child tax credit we increased by £450." "And it's not going to fall?" asked the presenter. The PM confirmed: "It's not going to fall."

On Tuesday, the business minister, Anna Soubry, defended the plans. She said she was of a generation that remembered when Sundays were the most miserable day of the week. She said: “The only thing to look forward to was Sing Something Simple on the radio and, I mean, goodness me, if that didn’t sum up a miserable Sunday. “I think we’re harking back to a world that probably didn’t exist. And now Sundays are a great day – you have family life but you can still have shopping.” Where did she live? In a shoebox? Sundays where NEVER like that!!!

"Yet sanctions continued to be imposed. This, as a punishment for what may be a clerical or timekeeping error, seems excessive. "We would not expect prisoners in our jails to be punished in this way, and would be grateful if you would consider whether it is an appropriate way to treat people who are unemployed, sick, or disabled."

If they land the job they also qualify for an £870 grant to help with the costs of moving to this country. Yesterday more than 800,000 UK jobs were being advertised through the scheme – more than half the total across Europe. WHY is this David Cameron?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2097481/Ed-Davey-performs-U-turn-nuclear-power.html The U-turn came as Mr Davey batted away calls from Tory MPs to slash the £400million in taxpayer subsidies given each year to the ‘inefficient’ onshore wind farm industry. More than 100 Conservative MPs wrote to David Cameron calling for the move. But Mr Davey said there was a ‘pretty compelling’ case for wind power as part of ‘a balanced mix of energy generation’. Mr Davey said: ‘I've been a lifelong supporter of renewables and wind power and I'm not going to change now, I think onshore and offshore wind power has a real place in a balanced mix of energy generation.

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2013/may/09/iain-duncan-smith-benefits-cap-statistics And yet STILL he is in office!!!
http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/nick-stephenson/benefit-death-numbers_b_7661708.html Incredible that IDS can say they don't collate the death figures, and then David Cameron says they do and still he remains in office - how does that work, eh, David Cameron?

Mrs Gaskin said: "Nick communicates by blinking for yes and no. "He has a good life but it is ludicrous to get a letter like this and to have to attend an appointment. "When I called the number on the letter the person said if we couldn't get to the centre perhaps there could be a telephone interview. "Nick can't speak, the man obviously hadn't been listening to me." She added: "This is a pointless interview and a waste of everyone's time and resource. "There has got to be a better way. Why can't we produce written evidence?" "Nick was, and still is, a very proud man who would give anything to get up out of his chair and provide for his family. "Unfortunately MS has stripped him of that. "In the end we had a laugh about him learning new skills but the very serious side is letters like this going to people, especially the elderly who don't have support around them. "It is likely to be very distressing." A spokesman at the Department for Work and Pensions apologised and said that Mr Gaskin had been sent the wrong letter.
http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2015/06/22/iain-duncan-smith-benefits-labour-buy-votes-kindness-_n_7637040.html Mr Duncan Smith was repeatedly questioned by Labour MPs about immunity from the latest austerity drive for the most vulnerable. Veteran MP David Winnick said the Government had launched a "campaign of harassment" against the disabled. But Mr Duncan Smith told Parliament: "It is our purpose to protect the most vulnerable. It has been from the beginning and it will continue to be so. "There is no reason why people should be fearful. I do hope Labour MPs don't start to whip that up. "Our purpose is to reform welfare to get people back to work and ensure those who cannot and cannot manage and have disabilities are treated with the utmost kindness and utmost support."
http://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/news/3122-1-july-newsletter?utm_source=iContact&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Benefits%20and%20Work&utm_content=1+July+newsletter+2015 Fiddled figures Even if the 2012 estimates end up being correct overall, they make a mockery of minister for disabled people, Justin Tomlinson’s claim to the house earlier this month that: “. . . under the PIP system 22% of claimants will end up getting the highest rate of support, which is higher than the 16% under the DLA. We are doing more to help the most vulnerable in society. We are clear that we will protect the disabled and vulnerable. Let us remember that.” In fact, because 22% of a smaller number of successful PIP claimants are expected to get the highest rate, it works out as almost exactly the same as 16% of the larger number of DLA claimants who get the highest rate. So . . . not doing more after all. But it has already become apparent in a few short weeks, that the new minister for disabled people acts solely as a cheerleader for the DWP, with not a shred of interest in fighting for the rights of those he is supposed to champion. Meanwhile IDS has sparked incredulity and scorn following his claim last week that the Tories will “ensure that those who cannot manage and have disabilities are treated with the utmost kindness”.

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2011/may/03/av-electoralreform On Monday, the Guardian reported that the campaign is also heavily reliant on Conservative party donors, with some 73.3% of its funding from people readily identifiable as private Tory donors. In comparison, 15% of the yes campaign's funding is from private individuals. On Tuesday, Cameron told the Today programme he bore no responsibility for the No to AV campaign, only the Conservative anti-AV group, after Liberal Democrat accusations of dirty tactics by No to AV. How did this man get back into power???
http://www.spinwatch.org/index.php/issues/finance-lobbying/item/219-a-closer-look-at-the-taxpayers-alliance Criticism of Nick Clegg from the TPA highlights their position on one of the Coalition government’s fault lines. Last week Conservative MEP Daniel Hannan, who featured in a TPA video in 2009,17 argued that ‘we need to get to the point where Conservative and UKIP voters can back the same candidates’.18 Hannan called for an alliance between the Conservatives and UKIP ‘modelled on the alliance between the Canadian Tories and the Reform Party’.19 The European question has put pressure on David Cameron and the Coalition - a recent poll shows that 1 in 3 Conservative voters are ready to back UKIP in the next general election.20 It is clear where the TPA stands on these issues by looking at their position as part of a network of Eurosceptic lobby groups. Most of the TPA’s research funding comes from their charitable wing the PERT. The chairman of PERT is multimillionaire Patrick Barbour who sold his Barbour Index business in 1999 for £22 million.21 Barbour has been politically active as a Eurosceptic since at least the early 1990s when he helped fund the Bruges Group, a think tank representing the Eurosceptic right of the Conservative Party.22 Barbour is also involved with a range of conservative think tanks including Reform,23 where he was one of three founders, Civitas, Global Vision24 and the Young Britons’ Foundation.25 Barbour has also given money to UKIP through Global Britain, another Eurosceptic think tank,26 Malcolm Pearson, the former leader of UKIP, also sat on PERT’s board until 2009.27 Other Eurosceptic businessmen funding the TaxPayers’ Alliance include Malcolm McAlpine who also funds Global Vision,28 Stuart Wheeler who helps fund Global Vision and UKIP,29 and Rocco Forte who was also involved in funding the Bruges Group.3031 In the aftermath of the 2010 general election the Taxpayers’ Alliance held a roundtable meeting to discuss the Conservatives return to power. Attendees included Eurosceptic think tanks Global Vision and Open Europe.32 Although the TPA claims to represent all taxpayers, such links suggest that its main interest lies in taxpayers of the Eurosceptic tycoon variety.
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/media/how-the-taxpayers-alliance-is-making-headlines-884087.html Matthew Elliott, the co-founder and chief executive of the TPA is frank when detailing how the alliance has built up this media profile, doing the work that once would have been done by journalists themselves. "What we've tried to do since 2004 is understand how the media works, so we've tried to give news stories to journalists on a plate. Journalists have 101 things to do in their day and don't often have time to read long and dry reports from think-thanks. So we use the Freedom of Information Act and a team of researchers to get fresh figures from government and local councils, which we package up into brief, media-friendly research papers, complete with eye-catching headline figures to give reporters a ready-made top line".
