33. Labour councillor resigns from "pompous, idiotic, self serving" Party | Local Government

Harris, who was a Labour councillor for Ibstock and Heather Ward on North West Leicestershire District Council, has resigned from the council and the Labour Party. She has complained in the strongest terms at the treatment she had from the Labour Group due to being a young councillor. She is particularly outspoken about Cllr Leon Spence, the leader of the Labour Group.In an email to the Conservative council leader, Cllr Richard Blunt she writes:"I have zero respect and loyalty for this Labour group, from day one they have treated me unfairly and differently. I have, recently been unable to attend some meetings due to working in the evenings. As a second year student at Loughborough University I am in no position financially to turn down any work and although I explained this to Leon Spence it was deemed that I was 'failing to communicate with the party'. Following this, Councillor Janet Ruff took it upon herself to investigate my past and private life, I informed Leon Spence of this but inevitably he got back to me stating I should resign as I 'could not commit to the role of councillor'. He then went on to contact Labour's regional office who wanted to organise a mediation session to which I refused due to being both busy with work and university work.I told Leon Spence that Councillor Ruff should be reprimanded for the way she had behaved but instead he continued to ostracise me from the group and group campaigns. For instance, I had to hear of the recent car park campaign that happened in my ward via-Twitter. I am sure you're aware what these people are like but the way in which they have treated me is disgraceful. Not only do I hold no respect for this group I also hold no affinity to Labour as a party in general at all anymore. The group spouts that it wants younger, intelligent councillors and as soon as they get one they treat you like you're an idiot who is wet behind the ears. I have more experience than half of them put together.

35. How did John Major win 14,093,007 votes? | The Tory Diary

We're cutting welfare bills. Reforming schools. Devolving power to local councils. Lowering taxes on business. Introducing democratic oversight of policing. And, of course, embarking on the longest period of spending cuts in British history. This is the impressive list of reforms that Downing Street trots out whenever they receive incoming 'friendly fire' from Tory MPs and numerous critics in the centre right press. Cameron cannot understand why he has so few friends in the 'Conservative family'. In today's Daily Mail I attempt to offer an answer. Few people see Cameron as a winner. Only 23% of party members think he will win a majority at the next election. Few are convinced by the Tory battle plan. The growing suspicion is that Cameron will seek another deal with the Lib Dems as he contemplates the difficulty of winning more votes and more seats after being the Prime Minister who presides over five years of austerity.

36. CentreRight: Debt relief can do more harm than good

Labour's attempts to promote debt relief for poor countries appear superficially admirable. In reality, the Private Member's Bill sponsored by Labour MP Andrew Gwynne, which has reached committee stage in the House of Commons (March 9) is one-sided and ill-informed, and will serve only to limit developing countries' access to secondary capital markets, isolating them from future prospects of public and private lending. It is beset with perverse incentives and unintended consequences.Susceptible to the charms of celebrities like Jason Donovan, the British public is deceived about the probable outcomes of this legislation. The only way to alleviate poverty and spur growth in the developing world is (God forbid!) to let free markets flourish.

37. Gove labels Academies' critics "enemies of promise" who are "happy with failure" The Tory Diary

In a speech today at the Haberdashers' Aske's Hatcham College in New Cross, south-east London, Education Secretary Michael Gove accused critics of the Academies programme as being "enemies of promise".Gove said that whilst most councils had been supportive of the Government's Academies programme, those local education authorities who have attacked it are "happy with failure": "The same ideologues who are happy with failure - the enemies of promise - also say you can't get the same results in the inner cities as the leafy suburbs so it's wrong to stigmatise these schools."Criticism of the programme, Gove said, had been of the Government "underpinning motives" and that "the talk was of an 'ideologically-driven Academies programme’ and ‘ideologically-motivated school reforms". It was "ironic" he said, that those who brandished the Government as ideologues, could now be labelled as such themselves.Their prejudices, Gove said, should be held "up to the light", and that the underlying message behind their sentiment suggesting there is little hope for inner city schools achieving as well as those in the suburbs, is something sinister.This was an example, Gove said of "the bigoted backward bankrupt ideology of a left wing establishment that perpetuates division and denies opportunity ... an ideology that’s been proven wrong time and time again".

39. "The website David Cameron doesn't want you to see" - Left Watch | ConservativeHome

‘The website David Cameron doesn't want you to see’ is how left-wing activists are describing SearchTheMoney.com. The website is the brainchild of Laurence Durnan who created the Political Scrapbook blog, a relentlessly anti-Tory but not unamusing blog.The new SearchTheMoney website aims to make it simple for people to see who is giving to the Tory Party and to individual MPs. It aims to bring transparency to the financing of the Conservative Party and, it says, to highlight the extent to which the Conservative Party is dependent upon money from the City.The site is clearly a political rather than a transparency exercise however. It does not bring the same searching scrutiny to the financing of Labour MPs.

42. The end of the peer show?

Every week when Parliament is in session the executive of the 1922 backbenchers committee meets to decide what to tell the Prime Minister about backbench attitudes and reactions to the government’s business. The full 1922 Committee also meets every Wednesday, where any Conservative MP can attend, and voice any criticism in the privacy of the meeting they wish.I have never before written about these meetings. They are best kept private. Sometimes they are unremarkable. Sometimes they express support for a Minister or a policy. Sometimes we summon a Minister to get a progress report or home in on problems that matter to us. The Chancellor comes for a consultation meeting with us before a budget when he is forming his measures. He comes after budget to report. The Prime Minister comes once a term to tell us how he sees things and to take our questions. Sometimes these meetings send tough messages, wanting change to what the government is doing or how it is behaving.

44. Will they hold a referendum on the EU?

The mood seems to be changing a little in the two main party leaderships since we held the Parliamentary vote last year to require a referendum on the EU. Then they were both adamant that it was a bad idea. The Conservative leadership said they would provide a referendum should any future powers be conceded to the EU, to be defined by themselves. Labour stuck to its position in government that referendums were undesirable and not needed. They after all gave away massive powers of self government at Nice, Amsterdam and Lisbon, but never thought a referendum necessary.

46. Labour voters - and even The Independent - support IDS' benefits cap, leaving Miliband and the...

YouGov found (£) (PDF) that 69% of British people, including two-thirds of Labour supporters, either support the Coalition's benefits cap of £26,000 per household or think it should be even stricter. Only 16% want a more generous cap or no cap at all. The cap is one of the reasons why welfare reform is the most popular part of the Coalition's programme. In times of plenty hard-working families are more willing to indulge a wasteful benefits system but when the "squeezed middle" is facing a decade of flat or falling incomes there is no support for any indulgence of any kind.
