Update comrades on your campaigning progress at #LabourDoorstep.
Its not enough to steal Tory and Lib Dem policies ("bad bank" and a loan guarentee scheme) the Labour party also have to attack them as a "do nothing" party. What a cheek! If you want to accept credit for the good times you have to accept responsibility for the bad times. I haven't seem much of that for Gordo. Although not all the Government's fault to be sure responsibility must be taken. To say that the Tories want more lending but not more debt is spurious. The Government seem to want to go back to "2007 levels" of lending - which was the problem in the first place. Debt must be reduced, and replaced with "sound money", I can almost hear Mrs T screaming in my head!!
I hope this website picks up and talks more about Labour policies. Where's your advert on the economy?
According to a document unveiled with no fanfare on the same day as the Heathrow announcement, the House is preparing to block the publication of all receipts for MPs expenses, which had been ordered by an Information Tribunal.

One rule?
Hat tip to the estimable Old Holborn. Eternal vigilance is the watchword. 646 of them, and 60,000,000 of us. Who is answerable to whom?
Great parody eh?
Just out of interest, why was there such a public outcry over MP's expenses and what started off the whole process that lead to this announcement.
I will give you a clue......CONWAY!
Barry Hunt.....how appropriate.
As TBRRob says, the government trying to "do something" will end up in the wrong things being done. Doing "something" is like that vacuous Obama phrase "Change". It is meaningless. Government needs to do the right thing which begins with protecting the value of the currency it is responsible for and has an obligation to do, for a Pound is a contract, a promise to pay. Currency inflation, not PRICE inflation is what the BoE should have been tracking but it did not. And your "action"? To make matters worse and create debt, and in future possibly print money.
Any sensible household when faced with such conditions as we have now cuts spending, reduces debt, checks the value it gets for the money it does spend. What are you doing? Spending more, racking up debt, not focusing on value. You should be ashamed of yourselves but all you can do is come out with a faux rebuttal which says nothing at all.
I think ex-quantum fund manager Jim Rogers might disagree with you a touch on that. What Labour need to do is listen to a few people in finance who have some experience of making money. Like Jim Rogers or even Peter Schiff who actually predicted the credit crunch.
And you'll find they all say that the government should do nothing. No bailout, no printing of money, just nothing.
