Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

RIGHT WING TOSH.

The findings were made on this governments watch and during this governments reign as per the chairman of the commitees report.

Milliband will give Cameron a real rogering at PMQs tomorrow over this matter.

And Hunt has just been pulled apart my Emily Mateless on newsnight, denying he said thousands needlessly died. Hes now saying MAY have died which goes to show like Burnham said hes trying to make political point scoring out of it.

Shadow health secretary Andy Burnham said seven of the hospitals reviewed had cut 1,117 nursing jobs since the coalition Government had come into power in 2010.


Labour accepted its findings it full, but said Mr Hunt's 'partisan' comments were 'not worthy' of the report, he added.


Mr Burnham said Mr Hunt's claims that this was Labour's fault did not have a 'shred of evidence' to back them up, claiming that many of the hospital trusts had been forced to cut staff.

As he spoke, many Labour MPs shouted 'smear' at Mr Hunt.

Mr Burnham turned to the Government frontbench in the Commons and added: 'You made unfounded claims that will have alarmed people in the areas served by the 14 hospitals and you have questioned the integrity of the staff working in those hospitals in difficult circumstances - all for your own self-serving political ends.


'That simply is unworthy of any responsible Government.


'On reading this review, the diversionary spin operation now makes sense because it reveals evidence of a deterioration at all 14 hospitals on your watch

Hays, just been thinking if you need any help with advise on the benefits you receive please dont hesitate to ask me.

The findings were made by this government, but the problems come from the last government as all the rest do. You can pretty much lay all our problems at Labour's door.

No, it's the maggon what done it...all of it, ask broon if you don't believe me.

Hays, it started with Landsley thats why he got the sack. Have you conveniently forgotten about that.

He was trying to run before he could walk within the service. The torries agenda was to set up conditions so that privatisation could take place and took their eye off the ball.

If you cut front line workers in health, disastrous consequences will always develop.

It is just the final result of the Labour culture of targets over everything. Like you, they only want sound bites.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my god just listen to him.

3 years and you have let it go to the dogs.

The NHS cant be trusted with the torries.

Hays,

I agree with you the tories don't have any targets other than filled their own pockets.

They are other than that aimless.

this gov is a gov of LIARS and crooks

please can someone call the local funny farm and get this guy heavily sedated and then sectioned!


School leaving age
nearly every gov't plays stupid games to reduce the apparent level of (youth) unemployment.
previously we had the great con of creating so-called university places, but this latest bit of political chicanery is just too ridiculous (and transparent) for words and, as previously, fools no one.
leaving that aside, the REAL problem remains that there are not enough jobs in the market place, and quite how those are created is another matter altogether.
that so many children still leave school pretty much illiterate, and are therefore effectively unemployable is much too complex a problem for a one-liner.

Cynic, Hays as a right to post on here what he wants. You cannot be asking for him to be carted off to the funny farm.

Hays hays hays...............

UK unemployment fell by 57,000 to 2.51 million in the three months to May, the Office for National Statistics says.
The unemployment rate was steady at 7.8%.
The ONS also said that the number of people claiming Jobseeker's Allowance in June fell by 21,200 to 1.48 million. This fall was the fastest rate in three years.

Latest YouGov / The Sun results 16th July - Con 32%, Lab 38%, LD 10%, UKIP 12%

silly question no doubt, but when was the last time the method of collating these numbers last "adjusted"?

Looks like the 16th! :-)

They don't appear to have been adjusted for several years. The government can't influence the figures as they are collected by the ONS.

Are they lobbyists?
