Stumbling & Mumbling looks into the supposed fiscal "black hole": "The Tories, aided by much of the media, are trying to pull a con trick. They want to present spending cuts as a technocratic necessity when they are in fact a political choice." "Children living in bad housing are more likely to have respiratory problems like coughing and asthmatic wheezing, to be at risk of infections, and to have mental health problems. And by increasing the likelihood of missing regular school, these health problems, in turn, had a detrimental impact on their education." Taj Ali lays bare the lethal consequences ...

It will soon be 30 years since Bobby Moore, England's captain when they won the World Cup in 1966, died at the age of only 51. What I didn't know until today were his middle names. He was christened Robert Frederick Chelsea Moore. Anyway, here he is keeping England in the game against a great Brazilian side in the 1970 tournament.
Marks and Spencer have announced that they are bringing their food format store to the outskirts of Ludlow. The plans are for the M&S Food store to be opposite the Eco Park on a site allocated for employment use (though there is no significant planning barrier to the site being used for retail). We only have the barest outlines of the proposals at this stage. M&S will begin a public consultation with drop in sessions for the public at the beginning of December. There will be a lot of issues to consider here. Another out of town store in a ...
Ed Davey MP said: "After all his u-turns, the one thing Rishi Sunak seems determined to press ahead with is cutting taxes for the big banks."
Well, who would have expected it? Hunt blamed the country's current financial problems on Putin. Nothing to do with more than a decade of Tory mismanagement of the economy. Nothing to do with the disastrous Kwasi Kwarteng and Liz Truss budget which he has now all but reversed. Our low growth rate and our troubles are caused by anything other than the Tories. Of course, we have are weathering bitter storms but the Tories left us unprepared for those storms. Now we must all pay the price. The big lie of this budget is that there have been no tax ...

It is no surprise that Michael Heselton is not a fan of Brexit, but his analysis of the damage done by this policy in a speech on Tuesday is damning and stands out as an exceptionally honest and perceptive position for a Conservative politician. His criticism is worth quoting in full: A short time ago I argued that: 'If Boris goes Brexit goes'. Johnson was not alone in souring our relationship with Europe. The Atlanticist prejudices of Rupert Murdoch and Conrad Black using a power over our media that would never be granted to foreigners in other countries, the populism ...
Jeremy Hunt is making a Parliamentary Statement today which could make the cuts of £73 million + proposed for Liverpool even worse. The Liverpool Council budget document which was issued last night is a calamitous document for Liverpool. The £73 ... Continue reading →
The i reported that figures obtained by Lib Dems from the Commons Library show that due to inflation eating into Whitehall budgets, schools and hospitals will receive £10.7bn less than they were expecting in 2024-25. Ed Davey, Munira Wilson and Sarah Olney have written to Jeremy Hunt highlighting how current budgetary pressures are affecting schools in their constituencies. This Government cannot try and balance their books on the backs of the young and the sick. They must commit to protecting our schools and NHS budgets, otherwise the consequences could be frightening.https://t.co/zLGlNZ1nbN — Liberal Democrats (@LibDems) November 16, 2022 * Newshound: ...

Once upon a time, not too long ago, a political party could think what it wanted, propose ideas it espoused and work to make the world a better place. But sadly those days are now the things of fairy tales. Now you see it is not the right of polical movement to come up with ideals, hold them steadfast and work to making them take shape in society. No, now, even here in the UK, it is they who have the biggest crowdfunded legal fund who pull all the strings. Yes sadly even if for years you thought your party's ...
