Leslie Costar: A key constitutional principle in the United Kingdom is a strong political opposition to the Government of the day. At the moment it is Labour, headed by Ed Miliband who you may recognise from his acting days as Mr Bean.

Key Messages
The world has changed. Britain is in a global race.
To succeed in that race, we are backing people who want to work hard and get on in life.
We are on the right track – we’ve cut the deficit by a third, helped businesses to create 1.25 million new jobs and we’re fixing welfare to make work pay.
Same old Labour
Labour oppose everything we have done to turn our economy around, cut the deficit and fix welfare to make sure work pays.
It is the same old Labour party which has only one idea: more spending, more borrowing and more debt. Exactly what got us into this mess in the first place.
And by opposing every single measure we’ve taken to turn the country around, Ed Miliband has shown he’s a weak leader who cannot stand up for hardworking people.

Local, Self-Sufficient, Optimistic: Are Transition Towns the Way Forward? We hear so much about all the corrupt actions of the IMF. One former IMF President is doing good things in the world.
A sensory garden for children in Brasilandia, BrasilAnd Transition is not just a British phenomenon. There are more than 1,000 Transition initiatives in more than 40 countries. Fans include Ed Miliband and former German president Horst Köhler – an economist by profession, and former president of the IMF. Next month, Hopkins will appear at a conference with France’s president and prime minister.Filipa Leao Pimentel is involved in Transition in Portugal, but is based in Brussels and works to explain Transition to MEPs.

Tale of two governments on GP visits | Scottish National Party NHS England--charges to visit the Dr ?????? !!!!!
Bob Doris SNP MSP:-
“Labour have abandoned the principle of universality and the NHS is sadly not exempt from that, as their leader Ed Miliband has already admitted.
“While health policy in Scotland is already effectively independent, and the SNP Government’s commitment to a public healthcare system is unwavering, Scotland is still at the mercy of Westminster's retreat from a public NHS via the Barnett formula funding system."
UK governments in their drive to cut,cut and cut will drastically reduce the UK annual handout to the Scottish parliament thereby forcing us into a corner regarding our NHS and other vital services.
We're not having it.
A big Yes next year is the way forward for all people here.
Common decency,fairness and social justice.

He used his speech on the opening day of the Unison conference in Liverpool to accuse leader Ed Miliband and other Labour top brass of “hypocrisy” for not vowing to repeal it if they won the next general election."

Scottish Times:
SNP Press Release:
HEALTH RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED BY WESTMINSTER SYSTEM
The UK government’s plan to cap the number of times patients can visit their local doctor has been condemned by the SNP.
A Tory consultation document on health provision is considering an annual limit on GP appointments in England. The paper also asks whether evening and weekend appointments with GPs and consultants are a "luxury the country cannot afford".
But today (Monday) A written answer from Scottish Government Health Secretary Alex Neil to SNP MSP Bob Doris confirmed that The Scottish Government will not restrict patient access to GPs and that it considers “..any moves to restrict the number of visits a patient can make to their GP would be of potentially serious detriment to their health.”
Dr Clare Gerada, chair of the Royal College of GPs, said:
“This was obviously written by someone who has never been unwell, or has never met people who work in the health service."
Mr Doris said:
“This backward plan by the Tories is yet another blow to the already damaged NHS south of the border.
“People need to be able to see their GP - If they are regularly unwell they need to see their local doctor as often as is necessary.
“Successive UK governments have asset stripped and dismantled NHS England.
“Labour have abandoned the principle of universality and the NHS is sadly not exempt from that, as their leader Ed Miliband has already admitted.
“While health policy in Scotland is already effectively independent, and the SNP Government’s commitment to a public healthcare system is unwavering, Scotland is still at the mercy of Westminster's retreat from a public NHS via the Barnett formula funding system.
“It is clear that the way to protect and build on universal services in Scotland is with a Yes vote in September 2014.”

Why I'm Leaving Labour - The Backbencher We need a voice and a party... The problem is there is no alternative... GOD HELP US!!!!
"Today I have decided I will be cancelling my membership of The Labour Party."
"Ed Miliband announced this week that he will be keeping the Welfare ‘reforms’ that I wrote about in my last piece. After just about bringing themselves to oppose the Tory Welfare reforms that have upset so many of the most vulnerable in Britain, Labour has finally decided that they actually agree with them."
"This was bad enough, but for Ed Balls to not even have the courage to admit that he has the same beliefs as the Tories, he squirms his way around it, once again, by using the weak argument of the cost it would incur. If Ed is willing to use this weak reasoning to keep these Welfare reforms, I am pretty sure he will use the same argument when it comes to the much hated ‘Bedroom Tax’."
"Ed has already avoided the question of removing it when he comes to power, saying he doesn’t know what the finances of the country will be like in 2015, once again another weak argument from a Party that is unfortunately looking weaker every day."

Red Labour: There is a fantasy that is doing the rounds on the Labour left which goes: Ed Miliband doesn't really agree with workfare. It's Liam. He doesn't really agree with Free Schools. It's Twiggy. He's going to scrap the Bedroom Tax. It's just that Balls won't let him. Quite honestly, this is desperate stuff. To imagine that the likes of Liam Byrne & Stephen Twigg are going around making up Labour policy without Ed's say-so is frankly ridiculous. Of course, we all want to believe the myth, but the facts speak for themselves. It's worse than that though. By persuading members to keep their heads down & put our trust in Ed, they are complicit in the continuation of the death grip that New Labour has on the party. When we have a skeleton welfare state, a for-profit education system & a moribund party, who will find any consolation in telling them I told you so?

Chris Ford:
Labour Party leaders Ed Balls and Ed Milliband are to continue the Tory spending cuts if they get elected and cap on welfare.
It is shameful that Len McCluskey said on 6 June: "If Ed Miliband continues in this vein, then he will win working people back to Labour". And McCluskey was supported by so many as the 'left' candidate for the UNITE leadership. When will they learn.
