433. Government considering controversial plans to cap child benefit at three children | Mail Online

Child benefit could be capped at three children under controversial plans being considered by Treasury.The Coalition has been in disarray over plans to axe the allowance for some 130,000 higher rate tax payers with anyone earning above £42,745 barred from taking the benefit.Ministers are examining proposals to soften the impact on these families following criticism that a couple earning £40,000 each - £80,000 combined - will keep their hand-outs.One of the ideas being considered by the Treasury is to reverse the plan altogether and instead cap child benefit at a certain number of children, most likely three.

438. The Euro looks like the ERM

On 16 September 1992 the EU gave up on the narrow band Exchange Rate Mechanism. Italy was forced out of the narrow bands. Spain, Portugal and others were also unable to hold their currencies against a strengthening DM.The Euro is the ERM it’s more difficult to get out of. The ERM still left countries free to set their own interest rates and budgets. They had to juggle their policies to try to keep confidence going in their currencies. The failure to do so was pretty comprehensive, as the market ganged up on currency after currency. The ERM was meant to be a dry run for the single currency. Instead it set it back. When they did go ahead they simply ignored the fact that several leading players in the Euro had been unable to remain stable against the DM in the ERM days.The ERM should have been a warning to the founders of the Euro. If markets could destroy a currency locking device, why did they think markets would leave a single currency untouched? They obviously forgot that the debt markets were still open. Investors and speculators can make their views known through the bond markets, just as they did through the currency markets for the ERM.I find it sad that some of us have had to spend so much time and effort trying to explain why the ERM would not work, and now trying to explain why the Euro cannot work in its current form. It’s bad enough having to do it once. Having to do it twice is worrying. What part of the ERM experience did they not understand?

443. GEOFFREY LEVY SATURDAY ESSAY: The man who hated Britain: Red Ed's pledge to bring back socialism is a homage to his Marxist father. So what did Miliband Snr really believe in?

The man who hated Britain: Red Ed's pledge to bring back socialism is a homage to his Marxist father. So what did Miliband Snr really believe in? The answer should disturb everyone who loves this countryOn a hot summer day, a young man made his way alone to Highgate Cemetery in North London to make a lifelong vow.Solemnly, he stood at the grave of Karl Marx at a moment when, in his own words, 'the cemetery was utterly deserted . . . I remember standing in front of the grave, fist clenched, and swearing my own private oath that I would be faithful to the workers' cause'.The year was 1940. The young man was Ralph Miliband, a Jewish immigrant who, with his father, had fled to London from Belgium just weeks earlier to escape the Nazi Holocaust.Miliband, father of Ed and David Miliband, died in 1994, aged 70, soon after the publication of his last book, Socialism For A Sceptical Age. In it, the venerated Marxist philosopher and academic continued to espouse his lifelong 'socialist' cause.

445. Roger Helmer MEP: Twenty questions for Conservatives about David Cameron's Government Comment

Twenty Questions for Conservatives...David Cameron gave a “cast iron guarantee”, in the Sun newspaper on Sept 26th 2007, for a Lisbon referendum. But after the Treaty was ratified, he dropped the commitment. Should he have changed his mind? The Tory Manifesto (like Labour & Lib-Dems) promised an EU referendum. Should Cameron honour that promise? Why did Cameron whip his MPs in Westminster to oppose an EU referendum? Both Conservative and Lib-Dem manifestos promised to address the European parliament’s travelling circus between Brussels and Strasbourg (costing £200m a year). Yet the Coalition failed to back moves by Tory MEPs to curtail it. Why was that? The Party had a commitment to repatriating powers from Brussels. It has made no attempt to do so. Was Cameron right to forget it? Do you feel that Cameron tried hard enough to resist EU financial regulation; the EU diplomatic service (EEAS); the European Investigation Order etc etc? Do you understand why he whipped his MEPs to support the EEAS in Brussels? Do you feel that the government should do more to reform - or withdraw from - the European Arrest Warrant? It is reported that George Osborne plans to make more UK funds available, via the IMF, for the €uro bail-outs. Do you think that this is a good idea? Do you agree that Abu Qatada, and other foreign terrorist suspects and criminals, should be repatriated, regardless of the European Court of Human Rights? Do you believe that the Coalition’s green policies are about saving the planet - or about political correctness, gesture politics and raising taxes? Do you approve of the plan to cover Britain with 30,000 wind turbines by 2020? Or do you fear it will despoil our countryside, raise energy prices, undermine industrial competitiveness, and drive families into fuel poverty? And that in any case the target will not be achieved, risking serious supply shortages? Are you happy with Osborne’s “static”, zero-sum fiscal model? Must tax cuts always be compensated by rises elsewhere? Or do you think that some taxes could be reduced without affecting revenue, and that such tax cuts would promote growth? Like the 50% rate, and National Insurance holidays for young employees? More generally, do you feel that the Coalition urgently needs a growth strategy?
