129. Labour's opposition to mutuals prompts them to lose control of Redcar and Cleveland Council |...

Cllr John Hannon and Cllr David Williams, of Redcar and Cleveland Council, have quit the Labour Party and now sit as independents. This means that Labour has lost overall control of the council.The cause of the dispute is a u-turn from the Labour councillors over Cleveland Fire Brigade becoming a public service mutual. Labour, at a local level, used to support the idea but has now backed down - under pressure from the Fire Brigades Union and Labour MPs.

130. We can't let the people decide! Mandelson warns against the 'LOTTERY' of giving voters a say on the EU

The British people must not be given a say on whether to leave the European Union because it is a ‘lottery’ which way they will vote, Lord Mandelson claimed today.The former Labour Cabinet minister said Britain’s EU membership is ‘absolutely fundamental’ and must not be put ‘in the hands’ of an unpredictable referendum.His extraordinary remarks came ahead of the first debate in the House of Lords on Tory plans to stage an in-out referendum by 2017.David Cameron’s Conservative-backed EU referendum Bill is being debated in the House of Lords today, with Labour and the Lib Dems hoping to kill it off.

131. Chris Grayling: High borrowing and high bills - Labour is the same old party - Telegraph

Labour's central argument that we need to borrow will add an extra £2,960 in debt to every working family, says Justice Secretary Chris Grayling.Over the summer we’ve seen more encouraging news that our economy is healing: the growth figures are heading in the right direction, exports are rising, foreign investment is increasing and unemployment is falling.All the reliable indicators confirm that things are beginning to recover. Labour’s central argument for the past three years - that we needed to borrow more to get things moving - has been discredited.

But for families up and down the country, life is still very tough: bills need to be paid, the car needs to go for its MOT, the children want the odd treat. For many, the cost of living remains a real struggle.

133. Labour controlled Camden council spends £186,877 on union officials | Local Government

Amidst all the debate about the £10 million a year the trade unions find to give to the Labour Party there should be some reflection as to why the unions have so much spare cash in the first place. It is because the salaries of 2,493 union officials are picked up by the taxpayer.Today the Conservatives are highlighting the £186,877 spent by Ed Miliband’s local council, Labour-controlled Camden, on full-time equivalent union officials from Unison and the GMB trade unions. These two unions alone have donated more than £8 million to Labour in the last two years.

134. EXCLUSIVE: Labour Donor Defects to UKIP, Tells Fellow Members to Vote for Farage's Party

Labour Party donor and and stalwart of the Labour's 'Finance and Industry Group' (LFIG) Ian Wallace has today announced that he is joining UKIP after becoming disillusioned by the direction the Labour Party has taken. Mr Wallace has called on Labour members to join UKIP alongside him, to vote for them in tomorrow's European and local elections, and indeed give them support in the 2015 general election.Breitbart London can exclusively report that Mr Wallace, who has been a part of the Labour Party since the late 1970s, said that he now finds himself at increasingly odds with the Ed Miliband's party's polices over a whole range of issues, particularly on immigration and Britain's relationship with the European Union. He leaves the party "more in sorrow than in anger" and has today joined UKIP's policy scrutiny committee.Mr Wallace was first invited to join the LGFI group in 1988 after a number of one-to-one meetings with the late Shadow Chancellor John Smith MP.

136. Now Labour calls on Miliband to seize control of the railways and Royal Mail in another lurch back to the 1970's

Unions today demanded a Labour government seize control of Royal Mail and the railways.In a further sign of the party lurching to the left, the Labour conference voted to demand the renationalisation of train firms and postal deliveries.Ed Miliband moved quickly to try to reject the idea, claiming there was not the money available for a future government to buy back privatised services.

137. Miliband? A political freak. Prescott? He touched up my wife... | Mail Online

Austin Mitchell, Labour MP for Greater Grimsby, has announced that he will stand down at the next election. He is 79 years old, has been an MP for 37 years and last year was rushed to hospital after collapsing in the Commons.So on the face of it, not the most surprising development.But for Ed Miliband, I suspect, the news will have privately generated much glee.For Mitchell has become one of the Labour leader’s bêtes noires. Indeed, as he puts it himself in masterly understatement: ‘I think Ed Miliband will probably be a bit relieved.’For, as well as tirelessly campaigning as a local MP — particularly in defence of his beloved Grimbsy fishermen — Mitchell has made goodness knows how many off-message comments and, more recently, tweeted a steady stream of inflammatory, occasionally sexist messages that have embarrassed the Labour leadership.Even a comment on YouTube after his retirement announcement caused a minor furore. It said: ‘Ed Miliband needs to get out and mix with ordinary people.’

138. Cllr Ralph Baldwin: Why I am joining the Conservative Party | Local Government

Cllr Ralph Baldwin of Barking and Dagenham Council announces his decision to join the Conservative PartyOver the past months I have been preparing myself for a massive change. Ironically it has been a much smoother process than anticipated. People are often questioning their parties, more often than not because they care very much about the issues and policies their Leaders are implementing. It’s a sign of healthy vibrancy and introspection, of intelligence and debate, of freedom over control. When you are sitting in the Council Chamber of Barking and Dagenham, one thing you quickly realise is the silence and even the local paper mentions the strange “lack of discussion” in meetings.It is no longer about “loyalty”, it is about nothing short of totalitarian control. The strangest aspect was the lack of discussion in the Labour Group meetings where people were too afraid to speak out. The fear was palpable.When you watch Question Time their attack lines are generic and clumsy, referring to people losing their jobs and businesses, or helping millionaires (Labour still courts them and is led by them), relying on “Eton” as an elitist criticism when Labour still brands it’s MPs a political “elite” to satisfy their pretentious delusions and attack their own long dead ideology, with the usual hypocrisy and their future MPs and Parliamentary staff are mostly inexperienced ex-public school people.Of course Labour is not offering an alternative to the policy of austerity and yet is trying to play two games at once, relying on a strategy they practised upon their own membership to prove to themselves how dim their own members were (they do not understand the virtue of loyalty only control using any means) and that is to proclaim a programme, no matter how shallow and go through the motions only whilst trying to steal Conservative ground. Ed Milliband attempted to create a “New Generation” without actually making any real changes at all to his party other than to try and con more members into campaigning harder and even diluted further their input at Conference

139. The Labour party is not even fit to run a whelk stall | Leo McKinstry | Columnists | Comment |...

IT is now almost a week since George Osborne’s historic, radical Budget and Labour has still not come up with a remotely coherent response.On all the big questions, such as pensions reform and income tax, the party’s senior politicians have either been pathetically silent or just parroted infantile class-war rhetoric.Typical of this approach was the woeful performance in the Commons by Labour leader Ed Miliband in reply to Osborne.Instead of addressing any of the far-reaching measures in the Budget he just read out a compendium of ill-connected lines from past speeches, sprinkled with some dreary invective about the public school backgrounds of some leading Tories.

140. 77% of quangocrats are Labour party supporters: Critics attack 'disgraceful trend' and warn it could block Tory reforms | Daily Mail

More Labour ‘cronies’ are being appointed to public bodies now than under the last government, official figures reveal.Last year 77 per cent of those who had a known political allegiance were Labour, more than the 70 per cent under Gordon Brown’s administration.Critics said David Cameron had failed to get a grip of public appointments and ensure those who served the Tories in opposition or are sympathetic to their reforms are in key positions.

142. Where were UKIP?

The story of yesterday’s local elections is of a big swing to federalist Labour. The Labour party that landed this country in the Nice Treaty, the Amsterdam Treaty and the Lisbon Treaty had a good night in many English and Welsh local Councils. I do not think people voted for them because they want more EU, but the fact remains that a leading federalist party has polled well and gained many Councils.I will try once again to explain my thoughts about UKIP, as several here write in in shrill tones. They claimed that UKIP is about to make a break through. They claim it has all the right policies. They argue that the Conservatives are not worthy of support. They say that someone like me has to join UKIP, as UKIP now share some of the views I have argued for over many years.This morning is a good morning to review progress. Most would agree that yesterday was an ideal day for a newer party to make a break through. Voters had plenty of reasons to be disenchanted with the three main parties. Yet break through came there none. There are today no UKIP Mayors, no UKIP controlled Councils, just as I forecast.

144. 'The lights will go out over Britain': Shares in energy firms drop 5% amid warnings of blackouts from Miliband's plan to freeze bills

In the most Left-wing speech by a party chief in decades, Ed Miliband said he would fix power bills until 2017 if he won the next election.Angela Knight, of the Energy UK trade association, warned Mr Miliband's plan would risk jobs and threaten the energy supply.'Freezing the bill, may be superficially attractive, but it will also freeze the money to build and renew power stations, freeze the jobs and livelihoods of the 600,000 plus people dependent on the energy industry and make the prospect of energy shortages a reality, pushing up the prices for everyone,' she added.Liberal Democrat energy secretary Ed Davey said: ‘When they tried to fix prices in California it resulted in an electricity crisis and widespread blackouts. We can’t risk the lights going out here too.
