Why not to vote Labour
Ed Balls faced calls to
'come clean' about Labour's failure to tackle tax evasion while he was City
Minister in the wake of revelations HSBC helped 7,000 wealthy Britons avoid
millions of pounds in tax.
Tired: The Labour leader struggles
to keep his eyes open during a photocall yesterday morning 10.2.2015
Ed Miliband promised yesterday that if
Labour wins the next election he will double paid paternity leave. New dads
will be entitled to take four weeks off work and receive £260 a week. Were is that money coming from? 10.2.2015
Ed
Miliband’s relationship with business hit a new low last night after he snubbed
a major gathering of company executives.
The
Labour leader, who is struggling to persuade business leaders that he is on their
side, stunned organisers of the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) annual
conference by telling them he was too busy to attend. 11.2.2015

The Labour leader said:
“The deed of variation is something that my mother did 20 years ago. That was
just a decision she made. I paid tax as a result of that transaction, I’ve
avoided no tax in that”. What his mother did would have been done with his and his
brother's knowledge and agreement. Yes, he paid all the tax due, but that tax
was minimised by his mother's actions. I don't know what annoys me more - his
blatant hypocrisy or the fact that he clearly thinks that all of us plebs are
really thick.

Neil
Kinnock has dismissed concerns about Labour’s flagship mansion tax policy,
saying it would not cost property millionaires any more each month than the
price of a single lunch out.
The
former party leader said: ‘For the people who are asset-rich and very
prosperous, a couple of hundred quid a month isn’t going to make a difference.
They would spend that on lunch.’
Those
owning homes worth between £2million and £3million would have to pay £250 a
month. But the charge is likely to be much higher for those with more expensive
properties.
No mention of those who are asset rich but
cash poor?

Ed Miliband facing backlash from
universities over ‘financially illiterate’ plans to cut fees from £9,000 to
£6,000 to be funded by raid on private pensions

would be hit if he backs down on pledge

MoneySavingExpert's Martin Lewis
calls plan ‘financially illiterate’
Ed Miliband's plan to cut university tuition fees was yesterday facing mounting
opposition - with even a former Labour No10 aide joining the attack.
There
were predictions last night that the party could descend into civil war over
the controversial proposals after ex-Tony Blair aide Huw Evans was joined by
the leader of Britain's nurses in challenging the plans.
Mr
Miliband has said his pledge to slash the fees from £9,000 a year to £6,000 is
'cast-iron', adding the plan will be a 'red line' in any possible future
coalition talks.
But the
plan – to be paid for by cutting middle-class pension pots – has been condemned
as 'financial illiteracy' by some critics, while university chiefs warn it
could jeopardise the scrutiny of their long-term funding.

The migration
chaos left by Labour: Over 13 years one immigrant came into the UK every minute
and number of people in Britain born abroad rose by 3.6million
Immigrants arrived in Britain at the rate of almost one every minute
during the ‘open door’ years under New Labour, a devastating audit reveals.
The influx caused the foreign population to swell by 3.6million between
1997 and 2010.
The figure was four times higher than the previous 13 years and
equivalent to the population of Britain’s five largest cities outside London –
Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow, Sheffield and Bradford.
Today
the spotlight switches back to Labour’s own record, following the publication
of a comprehensive study by the think-tank MigrationWatch.
It found
that, through a combination of deliberate policies and ‘cock-up’, 7.23million
immigrants were allowed to arrive in the UK – almost one every minute.
The terrifying prospect of the Scots ruling
England is now all too real:
The General Election in May
could give Labour and the Tories equal representation in the Commons, with the
Nationalists sweeping Scotland to hold 56 out of 59 seats, and the balance of
power at Westminster.
Following such a vote, the
most plausible outcome would be a Labour minority government led by Ed
Miliband, and sustained in power by Nicola Sturgeon and her tartan army. Shewould name her price for
supporting Labour, which would include large sums of English taxpayers’ cash to
fund the Scottish socialist dream.
Miliband will have to dance
to Scots' tune
When is MILIBAND ever going to tell anyone how
he intends to run Britain...Tell us where the money is coming from to deliver
all the SPENDIONG PLEDGES he has made,
tell us how he will eradicate the DEBT left behind by BROWN, who he was the
main advisor to, last time in office. Tell us why his party threw the doors
open to the world to come to Britain and be given " FREE BENEFITS", and cause the NHS to virtually grind to a
halt, the EDUCATION SYSTEM in tatters, the INFRASTRUCTURE GRIDLOCKED, create a MASSIVE HOUSING
SHORTAGE.... TELL US THE ANSWERS MILIBAND
Labour
MPs are hatching secret plans to wreck any deal with the Scottish Nationalists
by holding an emergency summit after the Election.
A
meeting of the entire Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP) would be convened in
order to veto any attempt by Mr Miliband to win Downing Street by brokering a
deal with Nicola Sturgeon’s SNP.
Labour
MPs say the possibility of forming an alliance with a party which wants to
break up the UK is already alienating many of their core voters on both sides
of the border.
