Osborne's efforts to encourage exports have helped only Carillion and are hindering SMEs.

That's my local hospital trust. I was annoyed at the BBC local news report that gave the figure for the 'cuts' but not the total budget.rebeccariots2 wrote:So we've heard about the massive scale of cuts to local authorities and councils today ... now we're hearing about cuts in the NHS of a magnitude that makes my eyes water ... and we're told Osborne 'needs' to make a further 148bn of cuts (hope I've got that figure right, relying on memory alone).Job losses look 'inevitable' as South Tees Hospitals Trust looks to save £91m
http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/teess ... es-8092326
... Following today’s announcement, the Royal College of Nursing’s operational manager, Peta Clark said: “It is an unprecedented ask to cut £91m from the trust’s budget in the space of three years.
"The total budget for the whole trust is only £550 million a year.
“You have to question whether that scale of cut is doable, even with the best will in the world. Let’s be in no doubt....
This is almost beyond imagination ...
And just after we've read that article about Benyon's multi millions made off the back of the state (housing benefit) and working poor. Sickening.
If the tories get back in the Friarage in Northallerton will close sooner rather than later. I'd be surprised if that wasn't one of the contributing factors to Hague standing down. A lot of people in North Yorkshire will be a hell of a long way from the nearest hospital.

I almost feel sorry for Julie, she is probably in some fairly hot water right now. Somebody should probably have been advising her about the law and the risks she was taking (maybe a friendly MP?).

Re: Tuesday 11th November 2014
Unusually high profile statement from a Labour MEP on the German benefits ruling.
Source The Guardian.Siôn Simon, Labour’s European spokesman on social affairs, also said it demonstrated that strong powers already existed to prevent a small minority abusing the system. “Both Germany and Belgium are already using such powers. This weak Tory-led government needs to get a grip and do the same,” he said. “Nor is there any evidence for the existence of ‘benefit tourism’ on any widespread scale. It is a Tory-Ukip myth, invented and peddled for the sake of their own political ends, with no regard for the truth or the social fabric of the UK.”

@TE, re. Julie being in hot water; I've been wracking my brains, as there has to be a flower vase joke in there somewhere, but I've had to admit defeat - so insert own joke as appropriate.

If Rolling stones can work into their seventies so can anyone, Esther McVey says
The employment minister, hails record numbers of older people in work as she says that the gap between parents and children has all but disappeared
The Stones have roadies, cooks, and every other sort of help, plus they have oxygen tanks backstage and take a quick pull every so often plus they have tropical island homes to recuperate in. They'd bloody collapse in a heap if they had to do a day's labouring with a couple of weeks on a package holiday if they were lucky.
And the gob forgot a lot of women end up caring for their parents when they're in their fifties...Grrrrrrr.

That reminds me...I saw Wayne Shorter at the Barbican last November when he was pushing 80 - that means that everyone can work until they're the same age, right?

No PMQs, as Parliament is in recess, again, until Monday the Seventeenth. However, BBC Parliament are offering us yet another chance to re-live the historic General Election of 1964. Oh let my joy be unconfined.PaulfromYorkshire wrote:* suddenly I doubt that statement - is there a PMQs tomorrow?
