Mr 10% !

The Labour Party needs to get back to campaigning and John Prescott my old friend is bang on in his analysis!
The Conservative Party are far more dangerous now, very right wing, vociferous and moving quickly to the margins of political life. We now know that the Tories want to cut public spending by a savage 10 per cent. Cameron and his crew told us that last week.



They have finally revealed what their true priorities are: a cuts plan that is wide, deep and immediate in order to fund a £200,000 tax cut for the 3,000 richest families.

David Cameron – Mr 10 Per Cent – would actually make the recession worse, by slowing public spending at exactly the time we need it most.

And the impact wouldn’t just be felt in our national economy, but at the level it matters most in your school, your hospital, your neighbourhood.

Cuts of 10 per cent would mean 44,000 fewer teachers, 15,000 fewer police, 10,000 fewer soldiers and, each year, 32,000 fewer university places. Those aren't just numbers on the page, but real jobs hanging in the balance.

So there we have it, that nice Mr Cameron is all about what Conservatives have been about for decades....which is looking after the rich!
