65. EIGHT Cabinet ministers are ready to quit EU: Home Secretary sets out to seize back 140 powers...

Eight Cabinet ministers want Britain to threaten to quit the European Union, as the Government today begins the process of reclaiming powers from Brussels.Home Secretary Theresa May will announce the UK intends to opt out of more than 100 justice and home affairs measures run by the EU.The move puts the Tories on a collision course with the Lib Dems, who are refusing to sign off the plans.

66. Royal Mail's lazy, slow-moving postmen have enjoyed a monopoly long enough. Time to bring on...

I blame Postman Pat: kind and cuddly, animal-loving and child-friendly. It gave everyone the impression that posties were the best public servants, a beloved feature of the neighbourhood.Yeah, right. Viz magazine's Postman Plod (see above) is nearer the mark. Postmen (postwomen are no better) have got away with sloppy delivery and lazy attitudes for years now. Thank goodness that, as of today, TNT Post UK is challenging Royal Mail by unveiling its first major UK trial of delivering post in the west London area.Until today, the Royal Mail posties have got away with the kind of work ethic that would get them fired within minutes in the private sector.

67. The German surplus

Let us talk today about the German surplus. There it stands, enormous, giving Germany a great sense of achievement and power. No wonder so many Germans want to keep the Euro. They associate it with high levels of exports throughout the EU, and rising cash balances as they seek payment for their goods.In 2010 Germany exported 179 billion Euros more than it imported. 60% of its exports were to the rest of the EU.It leads Germans to say to other Euro members, you can be like us. Work as hard as we do, set realistic wages, and you too can have a surplus like ours.The German surplus is matched by the southern states’ combined deficits. Portugal, Greece, Spain, and Italy had a combined deficit about as large as Germany’s combined surplus. They like Germany do a lot of trade within the EU. They recognise that Germany has become more competitive than them. They want a way to pay for the goods they buy from Germany. They seek loans or grants from the surplus country to pay the bills. Germany is not keen to send them grants, and is trying to restrict the borrowing. The southern states are forced in to austerity measures, to curb their appetite for German products.

69. The government thinks it’s about us, we think it’s about them

Most people want their government to collect sensible amounts of tax and to provide decent services for the money. They wish the government to uphold the law against criminals. They think most our problems are ones coming from too much law, not too little, or from imperfect enforcement of laws we do have against criminal activity.Modern bureaucratic government seems to think most of the problems come from the actions of the people.Health officials want people to be less fat, to eat a better diet, drink less alcohol, take more exercise. They may be right that this would make people healthier, and delay their time with doctors and hospitals to older age. Meanwhile the public wants the NHS to be there for them whatever they do. Some resent the taxes and regulations used to try to change our lifestyles.More resent the work of the green police.

70. Even in the current mood, anti-tax candidates can win – provided their motives are trusted...

Can anyone, in the wake of the banking collapse, win an election on a pro-banking and anti-tax platform? Yes. Boris.Smaller government was the centrepiece of the Mayor’s manifesto. He made a point of going into the poll as a ‘tax-cutting Conservative’, and repeated the phrase again and again.He was unashamedly in favour of tax cuts for the rich – as part of a programme of tax cuts for everyone. He opposed the 50p top rate, and led the campaign against curbs on pay and bonuses. Yet, at a time when Tories were losing everywhere else, Boris won.

71. MPs to meet Chancellor about the Caravan Tax | Grassroots | The TaxPayers' Alliance

Ronald Reagan once famously said the nine most terrifying words in the English language are, “I’m from the government and I’m here to help.” Perhaps George Osborne and Treasury civil servants thought adding 20 per cent VAT to hot pasties was going to help resolve an anomaly, but as Tim Newark has pointed out this change could have a devastating effect on the Cornish Pasty industry in Cornwall.It’s the same story in East Yorkshire. I wrote about the Caravan Tax a couple of weeks ago. The Chancellor decided to end an anomaly that has existed since VAT was first introduced, and will from October start levying VAT on static caravans to bring them in line with touring caravans on which VAT is already paid.

72. New Research: £28.5 billion lost to black market alcohol, tobacco and diesel in just five years...

The TaxPayers’ Alliance (TPA) has revealed that £28.5 billion of tax revenue has been lost to the illicit market in spirits, beer, cigarettes, hand rolling tobacco and diesel between 2005-06 and 2009-10. The tax gap, detailed in an annual report from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), would have been more than enough to fund a 1p cut in the basic rate of Income Tax.

73. A week after Miliband's pledge to reduce union influence, the GMB boast of their Parliamentary...

Despite its practical flaws, Ed Miliband's speech on Labour's union links appears to have put off his party's crisis on the subject for now. The obscure nature of the proposals, combined with a clever attempt to bounce the issue back onto the Conservatives, mean that the scandal has simmered down.But it hasn't gone away. While he carefully avoided committing himself to a timetable, at some point the press will expect to see results - and the unions are going to start squealing if he does take meaningful action to prevent their takeover attempts.A measure of the unions' commitment to their campaign comes in the summer edition of the GMB's in-house magazine (which bizarrely appears to have stolen its logo design from Heat and Nuts). The London edition is called Candid - and it lives up to the name.On page 11, GMB General Secretary Paul Kenny attacks Parliament, calling it a "phoney democracy". And he should know - on the very next page is a spread headlined "Look at our success", profiling those GMB members who have successfully been selected as Labour candidates and promoting the union's "political education" programme for new members

By Tim Montgomerie I'm grateful to the Observer for highlighting this envelope that the GMB used to send its members ballot papers for the Labour leadership election: Labour rules forbid the inclusion of a candidate's literature being put inside an envelope containing ballot papers.

75. Reshuffle Close of Play BoJo Goes Loco, Herbert Quits Mystery, Gove Dream Team - Guy Fawkes'...

Dave’s first reshuffle has been far more wide-ranging than first thought, with a raft of junior ministerial positions changing hands this evening. The big news was Boris slamming the PM over his sacking of Justine Greening.Elsewhere the major surprise of the afternoon was Nick Herbert quitting as police minister to be replaced by Damian Green, someone who knows all about brushes with the law. There was reward at last for Michael Fallon, who has been made a privy counsellor and part of the BIS team apparently as a “counterweight to Vince“. Greg Clark gets a deserved job as City minister, with Liz Truss given an education post.

78. India really has outgrown the need for UK aid | News

British aid to India was once an admirable, benevolent gesture. But to carry on giving aid is a colossal failure to understand how the countryhas changed.Just consider the new India. The ninth largest economy in the world by GDP, it is growing at over seven per cent and is predicted to overtake the UK by 2022. There are more billionaires in India than in this country. Since India gained independence in 1947, Indians have squirrelled away more than£900 billion in Swiss bank accounts, more than the rest of the world combined. India also gives £3.5 billion of aid to Africa and is spending £2 billion to put Indians into space.The perfect example of this new India is the 27-storey skyscraper in Mumbai built by the industrialist Mukesh Ambani. At a cost of£2 billion, it is the most expensive house in the world.So why should British taxpayers send India £260 million of aid a year, which will amount to over a billion by 2015?
