193. Tory grassroots 'despair' at £12bn foreign aid spree: I haven't met one backbencher who agrees with Cameron, says ex. Minister | Daily Mail

David Cameron’s pledge to spend billions more on foreign aid has come in for a withering attack from a sacked minister – who said he did not know a single rank-and-file Conservative who backed it.Gerald Howarth, a defence minister until the reshuffle, urged the Prime Minister to scrap the ‘arbitrary’ target to spend 0.7 per cent of national income on aid by 2013, and said it was only being imposed to mollify Lib Dems.He said it was time to ‘reorder the priorities’ and divert the money saved into the defence budget, warning that savage cuts to spending on the Armed Forces were having a dangerous effect on Britain’s influence in the world.

199. Tim Knox: A substantial Corporation Tax cut would send a bold pro-growth, pro-enterprise message...

Tim Knox is Director of the Centre for Policy Studies which today publishes How to cut Corporation Tax (pdf) by David Martin.We have heard rather a lot recently about how we must not tolerate “high rewards for failure”. But there is a logical corollary to that particular line: that we should be equally vehement about not imposing high penalties on success. And that is what the tax system does, not just on those individuals who pay higher rate taxes but also on business. For Corporation Tax – a tax on business profits – is effectively a tax that is only paid by successful businesses. It is money taken by the state from highly productive enterprises, money that could otherwise have been reinvested in new ventures. And it is money that is then consumed by the state, notorious for its low level of productivity.

200. Ken Livingstone charged Londoners £260 for shoes via Mayor's credit card | Local Government

Ken Livingstone has been grossly hypocritical over tax avoidance and is under investigation to see if he has broken the rules. He says journalists haven't asked his accountant any questions about it but he hasn't released his accountant's name.But I think a story broken by the Mail on Sunday this morning into his expense claims when Mayor of London from 2000 to 2008 represents a far worse scandal.

201. LGA tells councils to be sex snoopers | Local Government

One of the welcome aspects of the demise of the Audit Commission was the scrapping of the requirement for councils to ask intrusive, irrelevant questions about our sex lives. The Government has confirmed to councils that there is no longer any excuse to carry out this offensive exercise.Soon after we took control of Hammersmoth and Fulham Council a resident in my ward emailed to say:Speaking as someone who often makes Planning applications to Hammersmith on behalf of clients, I very much resent being interrogated about my age, race, religion and sexual orientation on each occasion. None of these matters is the business of the Local Authority, and none has the slightest bearing on a planning application.The questions about sexual orientation in particular are quite ludicrous. I am repeatedly asked whether I am heterosexual, gay/lesbian, transsexual, or “Other – please state”. I cannot think what that “other” could be, unless it were so perverse that it would justify putting someone behind bars. And who on earth would voluntarily admit to such proclivities on a planning application?

202. Welsh Labour candidate suspended after advocating violence | Local Government

An important target for the Labour Party in the local elections is to gain control of Cardiff City Council. To achieve this would mean winning the Llanishen ward which is cuirrently held by the Conservatives. But one of the Labour candidates for the ward is James Brinning (pictured with Ed Miliband in a puublicity shot) who has been suspended by the Party after making a series of offensive comments on Facebook.Wales Online reports:Some of the offensive material appears in a “question and answer” profile on Mr Brinning’s Facebook site. In response to the question “What would you do if you met Justin Bieber?”, he states: “Kill”.Another question and answer recommends explicit pornographic videos.Elsewhere on Mr Brinning’s Facebook site can be found an extensive list of things he likes. This section includes several arguably racist references:* “Lsmmtuafimc Laughing so much my turban unravels and falls in my curry”;* “Being a top African and getting the water in for the boys”;* “Discrimination against Scousers”.Mr Brinning also advocates “giving taxi drivers unnecessary drunken abuse”.

204. David Ruffley MP: The 50p tax is bad for Britain. Scrap it. Comment

The 50p rate proves “we’re all in this together”. Or so leading modernisers will have you believe. But they’re wrong, as five hundred entrepreneurs reminded us in a letter in today’s The Daily Telegraph. They urge George Osborne to abolish the 50p top rate of income tax in this month’s Budget.Waiting until 2014 or 2015 to scrap it is risky. If the Chancellor leaves it that late, the 50p rate will have done still more damage to the economy. It could also become a political football at the General Election. Much better to get it out of the way now.It is true that some opinion polls last year showed that the 50p tax rate had public support. But would the public be quite so supportive if they were reminded that without the drive and energy of successful entrepreneurs, jobs and growth decline?Labour introduced the 50p rate in 2010, largely for class war reasons in their desperate search for votes. George Osborne, boxed in, judged that he could not be seen to cut tax for “the rich” given that his priority was to build support for reducing the biggest deficit in British peacetime history.But he must now listen to the 500 entrepreneurs against 50p as he constructs this month’s Budget. Whilst this most political of Chancellors will be concerned about “the optics” of cutting tax at a time of national austerity, he has already laid the ground for scrapping the 50p tax rate.

206. Boris has visited London boroughs six times as often as Livingstone | Local Government

The attack message on Boris Johnson from the Ken Livingstone campaign is that Boris is "out of touch" and "lazy" that as a "part time Mayor" with his weekly column for the Daily Telegraph has hasn't had the time to do his main job.A rather different picture emerges from the facts. The Mayor reports to the London Assembly on their meetings and visits. The records for the number of visits to each borough are below.

207. Why Britain and U.S. Should Pursue a U.S.-UK Free Trade Area

A referendum on British membership in the European Union is scheduled for 2017. EU supporters argue that exit from the EU would hurt Britain’s economy and, in particular, its ability to negotiate trading arrangements with the rest of the world—a responsibility currently exercised by the EU on behalf of all of its member states. But there is every reason to believe that Britain, the world’s sixth-largest economy, would be able to negotiate trade agreements independently. If Britain does decide to leave the EU, one of its central priorities should be to negotiate a modern free trade area (FTA), based on sovereignty and freedom, with the United States. This is a goal that the U.S., which should abandon its policy of supporting the EU at the expense of the sovereignty of its member nations, should also champion.
