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.

They won't be all Tory peado's ., LIB/Dems will have a surprising amount and Labour about the same as the Torys. but am only guessing.

Iain Duncan Smith: Sir Bob Kerslake was right about universal credit business case
24DASH.COM Logo
Published by Jon Land for 24dash.com in Central Government and also in Housing, Universal Credit
Thursday 10th July 2014 - 10:06am
Iain Duncan Smith has been forced to admit that the lifetime business case for the implementation of universal credit has not yet been signed off by the Treasury.
In a heated exchange in the House of Commons, the Work and Pensions Secretary confirmed that funding for the flagship reform of the benefits system was being signed off on a piecemeal basis by the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
He explained that although the Treasury had agreed universal credit business case plans "for the lifetime of this parliament" the full business case for the lifetime of the programme was still under discussion.
Duncan Smith also admitted, in a roundabout way, that the comments made about universal credit by Sir Bob Kerslake earlier this week were correct. He told the Commons: "My point is that the answer that Mr Kerslake, the head of the civil service, gave was correct in the sense, as I have said today, that the overall strategic business case for the full lifetime of the programme is in discussion right now for that completion."
Here are the highlights from Hansard of yesterday's universal credit debate:

Rising state pension age: work to 70 or 75?
Documents published by the Office of Budget Responsibility show estimated future state pension ages. What will yours be?

Today's teenagers have been given a hint of their eventual state pension age in an analysis conducted by the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR).
The OBR, the Government's economic forecaster, underlined how rapidly the age may need to increase, to cope with the cost of an ageing population, as The Telegraph reported today.
The state pension age is already rising but the ages are yet to be set in stone. Some proposed changes over the next few decades are waiting approval and beyond that the age will be linked to average anticipated lifespan.
What many people don't realise is that this could also affect the "private pension age", currently 55.
Here we explain all.

What I would like to know is:
How many Nurses and Midwives are part timers in the NHS?
What proportion of auxiliary staff are part timers or have even minimal hours?
I have a feeling that the Hunt and cabal are deceiving the public with the figures they quote or in other words "lying through their teeth".
