177. How about a real voice inside the party for members, Ed?

Earlier this week Ed Miliband spoke about his proposed Labour-union reforms, telling an audience in South London that:“We need the three million nurses, engineers, shop workers, bus drivers, construction workers who are members of trade unions to be a proper part of our party. We need to reach out to people in every walk of life, including small businesses, entrepreneurs, and in every part of the country, South as well as North.“We need to give all these working people a real choice about joining Labour – and then a real voice inside the party. If we succeed in this then Labour has a historic opportunity to become a truly 21st Century party.That all sounds very positive, and is in keeping with Ed Miliband’s affirmed aim of building a relationship with individual trade unionists. It also sounds like Miliband is keen to offer affiliates full membership of the party – as he mooted in his speech a couple of weeks ago – which would significantly expand the size of the party membership.Which is all well and good, but there’s something that rankles about the statement.It seems to suggest that Labour Party members already have “a real voice inside the party”. I’m not entirely sure that’s true.

178. Labour cuts blamed for crowded classrooms despite influx of pupils after baby-boom | Mail...

Primary school children are stuck in crowded classrooms because Labour ignored warnings that an immigration-fuelled baby boom would lead to a shortage of places.Documents obtained under Freedom of Information laws show former Education Secretary Ed Balls ordered councils to axe spare places and close schools.They reveal he did so despite warnings from the Office for National Statistics as long ago as 2004 that the Labour government should have prepared for an influx of pupils after a baby boom.

179. Labour leadership's attempt to ban public criticism fails | York Conservatives

The bad news is you did indeed read the headline right that York’s Labour leadership, Cllrs Alexander and Simpson-Laing yesterday attempted to ban them from being criticised at meetings, the good news is the councillors of other parties threw it out. We have long known that Labour will not listen to criticism and their decisions will not be influenced by the public – just look at Union Terrace Car Park, the hiking of council tax or the slashing of salt bins to name but a few. However it was a new low to discover that they wanted to actually censor the public.The report to yesterday’s Audit & Governance Committee proposed that at meetings the public must not ‘criticise the conduct or performance of an individual’ and was rightly condemned by all in the public participation section including Cllr Chris Steward who said it was totally unclear why there was deemed the need for this change, how it would work and said it was an outrageous silencing of the public and removal of councillor and officer accountability.

180. New Labour brought back slums and illiteracy, betraying Old Labour's legacy – Telegraph...

It is not unusual these days to hear something dispiriting or annoying on the BBC’s Today Programme (although it is still compulsive listening) but I was unusually shocked to hear last week a reporter’s account of conditions in Slough. She had accompanied a inspector from the borough council tracking down unauthorised buildings from wooden sheds to substantial breeze block buildings in back gardens of mainly terraced houses. These were it seemed, rented by a new generation of Rachmans to people living with little or no access to washing or toilet facilities.

182. Want a Tory victory in 2030? Fight to turn the North East blue | Conservative Home

We’ve covered the habits and fallacies of the Miserablist Left on ConservativeHome before – here and here, for example. The most glaring example (quite literally) is Ed Balls, whose squirming in the face of good economic news has been a joyful sight to behold. But it’s important to remember the pessimistic trend extends beyond the Shadow Chancellor and, indeed, beyond the bounds of the Labour Party.The Guardian presented a monumental example of miserablism at the weekend, declaring the North East of England, which includes my home town, to be “teetering on the brink” of becoming “Britain’s Detroit”.The article provoked a furious response from across the North East – understandably, given that it had been rubbished simply in order to make an attack on “Tory cuts”, regardless of the truth of the matter or the harm it might do to the already under-rated North East.Those of us who grew up there spend a good portion of our time correcting people’s misapprehensions, which are largely borne of 30-year-old news footage and re-runs of Our Friends In The North. It’s a source of eternal frustration that whole tracts of the country think of smoking slag-heaps and strikers when the reality includes the nation’s most beautiful countryside, Granger’s glorious sandstone architecture, massive redevelopment and car plants which turn out more vehicles each year than the entirety of Italy.

183. Teen Ed Miliband wanted Britain to leave Europe but now refuses referendum demanded by his union backers

Ed Miliband was ridiculed today for spending his teens campaigning for Britain to leave Europe.The Labour leader delivered leaflets in the 1983 general election campaign, in which left-wing leader Michael Foot vowed to withdraw the UK from the European Community.David Cameron joked about it being ‘his idea of fun’ as a Tory MP claimed it was ‘strange’ that Mr Miliband now opposes holding an in-out referendum on Britain’s membership of the EU.

186. Secret police probe into Labour MP's £500,000 - Telegraph

A police investigation into a high-profile Labour MP discovered that he apparently held hundreds of thousands of pounds in a series of bank accounts, The Daily Telegraph can disclose.The Scotland Yard inquiry said funds believed to have been “of a suspicious nature” were paid into current and savings accounts in the name of or linked to Keith Vaz, a minister in the previous Labour government.Detectives found that over a six-year period, almost £500,000 was apparently deposited in the MP’s accounts — in addition to his salary between 1997 and 2001.The source of the funds has not been declared publicly and the evidence gathered by police may contradict assurances given by Mr Vaz during an investigation into his finances between 2000 and 2001 carried out by parliament.

188. I'm sorry to say it, but my old school chum isn't PM material (Boris Johnson on Ed Milliband) - Telegraph

The party leader and I go back a long way, but the time has come for a few political truths, writes Boris Johnson.They say old school ties are strong in this country, but there is a limit. Yes, it is perfectly true that I was at the same school as the party leader, and yes, we went to the same university. I have absolutely nothing against him personally — he has a very nice wife, after all, and a good degree (admittedly in PPE). But the time has come to say it loud and clear: he is emerging as a total disappointment; and as leader of a major political party, he looks to me like a drip of the first order.I refer of course to Edward Miliband. Yup, Ed and I were at the same superb school – Primrose Hill Primary School, Camden, a coincidence that he is curiously disinclined to mention – and it is only with great reluctance that I now break the ancient ties of fiefdom and fealty that knit one Old Primrosean to another. And in case anyone was for a second bamboozled by my cunningly phrased introduction, let me say now that the other old schoolmate/party leader, David Cameron, is not only doing a bang-up job on most fronts (apart from Latin – Georgic in my room by lock-up, please) but will be re-elected, for reasons I am about to explain, with an absolute majority.

189. George Osborne: Labour aides, not Bank of England, to blame for rate-rigging scandal - Telegraph

The Bank of England was not to blame for the rate-rigging scandal in the banking industry but those around Gordon Brown were "clearly involved", George Osborne has said.In an interview with this week's Spectator magazine, the Chancellor makes his first intervention into the row after Barclays suggested it was encouraged to lower its borrowing rate by the Bank of England's deputy governor.Barclays has been accused of artificially manipulating the rate, known as Libor, which is used to set interest on loans for millions of consumers and businesses.The bank yesterday released a memo suggesting the Bank of England wanted it to submit lower borrowing rates because pressure from the last Labour Government.

190. Lord Owen’s plot to topple the Coalition - Telegraph

David Owen, the former Social Democrat leader and partner of the Liberals, is plotting with Labour to undermine the Coalition’s NHS reforms and speculates about the possibility of toppling the Government, a leaked email obtained by The Daily Telegraph discloses.Lord Owen discusses how Labour can benefit from a “loss of confidence motion in 2013” against the Government and said that Ed Miliband, the party’s leader, should campaign on “saving the NHS”. He urges Labour shadow ministers to introduce radical amendments to NHS legislation, which he will support.On Wednesday, Lord Owen will chair a parliamentary meeting of the Royal Colleges, which represent medical professionals, and is playing a key role in attempting to scupper the reforms. On Tuesday night, David Cameron was involved in attempts to shore up medical support for the legislation amid growing opposition to plans to give doctors control of NHS budgets.The Telegraph has obtained an email sent by Lord Owen on Oct 14 to Labour spokesmen, including Baroness Thornton and Lord Beecham. He wrote: “The truth is that the NHS is now seen by the country as a major dividing line between the Labour Party and that of the Conservative Party and, surprisingly, the Liberal Democrats.”

191. Should the Conservative party lurch right or left?

There will be all manner of calls in the next few days for a change of direction by Conservative Ministers, in the wake of the big swings to Labour in the local elections. The main feature of the elections was a swing to the left as conventionally described. Labour took many votes off the Lib Dems, and some votes off the Conservatives. It extended its hold on many northern towns and cities, and showed an ability to win some seats in the south as well.
