Interesting question on "which party usually most closely identified with":
Con: 28
Lab: 29
LibD: 10
UKIP: 4
None: 24
It's ed who is missing an opportunity. Blair might try to outflank Osborne by promising to raise the 40bp rate (perhaps at the same time as introducing more rich clobbering measures). Ed would never do that.
Agree too. My eyes were opened when I tried to transfer my RBS bank account from London to my local branch in Nottingham - same name, same account, just a change of home branch. Everyone there knew me as the local MP, but they required a four-page form and copious documentation and urged me kindly not to bother. I took their advice.
What a pity his eyes weren't opened a bit earlier, when he was a legislator at the time when this garbage was put on our statute books.
Years ago when I lived in France for a while I was gobsmacked by the insane bureaucracy, which at that time was completely unknown in the UK. New Labour, supported by Nick's votes in parliament, fixed that good'n'proper.
Yes. the 40p threshold.
Add they would then be blamed for any future scandals.
Sad, but politicians love the ratchet effect
Labour have bribed this group for 13 years - however it is a shrinking group..

With the international gaze focussed on Ukraine and the draft UNHRC resolution against Sri Lanka looking very tame, the regime continues to put two fingers up to the international community.
The international community's response: Nothing - we'll soon see the Sri Lankan cricket team (who are basically a propaganda instrument of the Sri Lankan Government) arrive to these shores. And the War Criminal in chief (M. Rajapakse) will have a prominent position during the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
I weep, I weep...
My contacts in local authorities all tell me that they expect the financial settlement for 2015-16 to be brutal irrespective of whoever is in Government. One authority I know has for example made over £30 million in internal savings (sounds a lot but their Budget is £1.5 billion per annum) but all of that has been taken up by reductions in central Government grant so the huge programme of reductions they went through before 2010 and the re-organisations since have got them nowhere.
In addition, additional responsibilities in public health and increasing pressure on services for both vulnerable children and adults means the authority is struggling to hold the current line.
This Authority has sought to give itself a future non-Government income stream by investing in commercial property and seeking to live off the rental yield.
And Mr J does have a point, it seems a bit rich banks asking customers to be squeaky clean when the biggest problem appear to be other banks laundering money for mexican drug cartels or pariah governments.
If Dave wanted to leave his mark on the nation he should have brought in a £100 and £200 note.
Incidentally we are seeing another good example of the hypocrisy of the left in relation to South America. Oddly - I can't think why - there has been a deafening silence about Venezuela.
Tony Benn was posh ... and barmy. But he probably meant well.

Many years ago, I told my son when when he was about five that "Daddies can't be naughty." He soon grew out of that but a few don't, and the majority grow up to be politicians who always know everything.
Oh, he was right wing - evil bastard!
Was his hatred of capitalist society so great that he could have tolerated all the anti democratic effects of its alternative, communism? The camps, the oppression, the secret police, the famines? Ever hear him talk about capitalism?
My feeling is yes, absolutely.
Mrs T did far more damage by arming the Khmer Rouge than Benn ever did in lionising Mao. Both were horribly wrong, of course.
I think eggheads are generally late developers so they get bullied at school by early puberty meatheads and that makes a lot of them bitter towards their own culture and want to trash it in various ways.
"Was his hatred of capitalist society so great that he could have tolerated all the anti democratic effects of its alternative, communism?"
For many ... they can. Ed's Dad may have been among them. You either ignore the faults or you blame someone else for them. I suspect Mrs T was well aware of Pinochet's faults because she was a realist. Michael Foot and Tony Benn were just barmy.
And, and it's all the US's fault.

Really? don;t see how somebody like that could have admired Chairman Mao.
That, or the 'BritNat Unionists'.......
He's an intelligent man, a skilled coder, from a firmly middle-class background, who married a firmly middle-class wife whose father was high-up in the military. But they both live in semi-Hippiedom and rage against the background they were raised in. Despite living a middle-class lifestyle that isn't remotely disguised by their thin veneer of pretentious hippiedom.
Blooming hypocrites. And to top it all off, they're vegan ...

Can Churchill be blamed for the deaths of roughly 3 million Indians during the Bengal famine of 1943?
or socially responsible individuals more interested in public service than money?
take your choice
And politicians!!!!
It's one of the tricks of civilisation: to be able to disagree with someone's views, but to remain friendly with them. Just as long as they don't serve me their nut roast in baked courgette monstrosity again. ;-)
A man due to stand for UKIP in Great Yarmouth at the next general election has been summonsed to faces charges of electoral malpractice.

Should GO cut taxes to bribe the electorate as having a Con govt with these tax cuts will still mean a lower deficit and saner finances than if Labour get in ?
a bribe to save the economy from 5 years of Labour ?

And, no, it is not about Crimea.
BISHKEK, March 17. /ITAR-TASS/. Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak asked Kyrgyz President Almazbek Atambayev by telephone on Monday for assistance in searching for the missing Malaysian Airlines Boeing-777 plane, the Kyrgyz presidential press service reports. The Malaysian premier asked Kyrgyzstan to provide any information which could help in reconstructing the plane’s possible route, which could pass through Kyrgyzstan’s airspace.
Atambayev promised that the Civil Aviation Agency set up under the Kyrgyz Ministry of Transport and Communications as well as the republic’s air defence forces would provide all the necessary information to Malaysia.
Just routine or something more?
There is no other announcement of Kyrgyzstan's neighbours being asked for similar co-operation.
edit: Urumqi would be the obvious one i guess
It is possible he didn't want to waste time with a stop-over and flight change at Beijing.

Change the record, Malcolm.....
Or would you prefer to discuss the views of some Scot Nats during WWII?
Someone has noticed that it could have been shadowing a flight from Singapore to Barcelona which would have been following almost exactly the same flight path as the northern arc, and might therefore have been able to avoid radar detection.
It would be interesting to hear what the aviation experts' views are on this:

"Did Malaysian Airlines 370 disappear using SIA68/SQ68 (another 777)?"
I deleted the last line of my comment before posting. I was suffering from a rare attack of good sense and taste.
But now you ask I will reveal the deletion.
The known Uighur on board was an oil painter from Kashgar.
Like Comrade Sunilsky, he had been awarded a PhD by a British University. Could the highjack motive be revenge for the 1942 Bengal famine?
On the Iranians, no one seems to be going down this route and most have accepted at face value reports that the two false passport holders were economic migrants rather than terrorists. But who knows? An Iranian terrorist link may just be temporarily out of fashion.
Don't think unionists should be bleating about one supposed dodgy SNP supporter when you had shed loads of Nazis in government , establishment and the palace. We could go on to state sponsored murder in Kenya and probably post for 24 hours on the atrocities carried out across the world under the butchers apron. So bring it on , hard for one dodgy SNP supporter to begin to match the 1.5 million confirmed above.

Then again, Mathias Rust landed his aircraft in Red Square. But that was detected; it was only incompetence that stopped it being intercepted.
I still think the most likely and simplest explanation is fire and catastrophic electrical failures. I'm probably wrong though ...
The reason is that the crucial part of the flight, at about 1:30am, when the flight started diverging from its set course to Beijing, probably won't be on the cockpit or data recorders if the plane flew for more than 2 hours afterwards.
The revelation that India didn't have their Andaman Islands radar on all the time because "it was too expensive" was a bit of an eye-opener. Maybe the same sort of thing is true in other countries in the area, but of course they would never want to reveal the fact their radars weren't constantly on unless absolutely necessary.
http://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/learmount/2014/03/flight-path-mh370-story/
But that wasn't my point actually: the point was the cockpit and data recording devices only record the last two hours' worth of data, so if the plane flew for more than 2 hours after 1:30am that data would be recorded on top of.
