'Burnham must outline plans to tackle benefits – anything else is cowardice' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The amount of cash we are spending as a country to fund personal independence payments (PIP) as part of welfare is already eye-watering, but the numbers are set to get much bigger. Without proper intervention, they risk becoming unsustainable – the Prime Minister should be panicking. Despite this, I doubt Andy Burnham will mention Britain’s ballooning welfare bill at his big party conference speech on Tuesday – after all, he will not want to upset his fragile backbench MPs. Anyhow, we already kn
'Mothin Ali has been caught out – whiff of Green Party hypocrisy is potent' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Rank hypocrisy in British politics should surprise nobody – but recent examples take the ‘do as I say, not as I do’ attitude to the next level. Take Mothin Ali who is co-deputy leader of the Green Party, a political outfit where the aura of sanctimony accompanies every policy idea, speech and protest. The Greens do not like private landlords and last year at their annual conference passed a motion entitled: ‘Abolish Landlords’ which states that “the effective abolition of private landlordism and
'Reform UK's chance to get back on top after obsessional hounding of Farage' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It has been a rocky few months for Nigel Farage’s Reform UK – but the political party has an opportunity to hit the reset button this weekend when it holds its annual conference in Birmingham. There have been a number of distractions throughout the summer which have not helped the party maintain its political top spot in the polls. The hounding of Mr Farage and members of his family over financial donations has not only been shameful, but obsessional. Any sane mind should wait to see what the pa
'Burnham's growth in every postcode must not leave seaside towns behind' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As we wait and wonder what plan our new Prime Minister has for the country, Mr Burnham needs to look beyond his urban comfort zone and seriously consider what he can do to support our coastal communities and seaside resorts. Not a week goes by without a report appearing that lists the UK’s worst seaside towns which is frankly depressing and demeaning to some of our once great coastal locations. A recent Which? Travel survey has decreed that Bognor Regis is the worst seaside town in the UK – a cl
'Rip-off Britain is driving motorists mad – we're cash cows to be fleeced' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Britain's motorists are being fleeced at every opportunity with the latest scandal being the ever-increasing charges levied on those who are dropping off family or friends at the airport. We're not talking about paying for parking your car and saying a long and lingering goodbye in an overpriced airport coffee shop – I am referring to the fee you must pay for just stopping, decanting its occupants and luggage and saying bon voyage. Rip-off Britain has reached a new level when you look at some of
