Labour donors hammer ‘death wish’ Miliband

ED MILIBAND was accused of taking Labour “back to the 1970s” last night as a new poll confirmed the Tories had jumped into the lead in the race to win the next election.

MPs and peers rounded on the Labour leader as today’s YouGov poll for The Sunday Times put the Tories on 36%, two points ahead of Labour, with Ukip on 13% and the Lib Dems on 7%.

Lord Noon, one of the party’s biggest donors, led a chorus of criticism, branding Miliband’s plans for a mansion tax a “hopeless and desperate idea”. He said: “The mansion tax is going back to the 1970s.”

He was joined by Lord Levy, Tony Blair’s chief fund-raiser, who attacked the mansion tax as “totally inappropriate” and having “no validity whatsoever”, warning that the Labour had to do more to win over business chiefs whose financial support the party needed.

HAYS the tory lead will last one week.

Lap it up while you can.

Haze,

Whether you like it or not, and even if it is right, or wrong, the "Mansion tax" will have far more appeal to the voters in 2015 than the "Bedroom Tax" or the "Tax Gifts to the Rich" and "Welfare Cutbacks" pledged by Corporal Cameron.

Hays Hays Hays......


Two polls in the Sunday papers. The weekly YouGov/Sunday Times poll has topline figures of CON 36%, LAB 34%, LDEM 7%, UKIP 13%. That means both the YouGov polls since Cameron’s conference speech have shown a small Tory lead, though it’s worth noting that that the Populus poll on Friday did not show any movement to the Conservatives so the trend is not all one way. The more important caveat is that the polls were taken in the context of very good publicity for the Conservatives from their conference – we don’t know if it will last once the agenda moves on to, say, the expected UKIP by-election win on Thursday.

update - Conservatives lead at 2

Latest YouGov / Sunday Times results 3rd Oct - Con 36%, Lab 34%, LD 7%, UKIP 13%;

At a 2% lead it is still disputable wether the tories could win an outright GE victory.

But, he will be able to do another U-TURN!

But, he will be able to do another U-TURN!

Thats why Tories are moving over to UKIP.

Farage says Cameron's EU plan a 'gross deception'

(Reuters) - The leader of Britain's anti-EU party UKIP on Saturday predicted that divisions between rich and poor would spell doom for the single currency and the dream of a United States of Europe.

Nigel Farage, head of the United Kingdom Independence Party, told a packed political meeting to rapturous applause:

"I live in a Europe that is divided North to South by the euro, with the North doing reasonably OK and the South being forced into poverty.



"It is now inevitable that this 'United States of Europe' will not be completed; it is now inevitable that countries will leave the euro; it is now inevitable that countries will leave the union."

Farage was in Switzerland to give a speech called "The Doomed Euro" to members of Action for an Independent and Neutral Switzerland (AUNS), an ally of the SVP - Switzerland's biggest political party - which has made opposition to European Union membership a linchpin of its policies.

Earlier this year, Swiss voters approved a proposal by the SVP to reintroduce quotas on immigrants from the European Union. The move has put at risk Switzerland's bilateral accords with the bloc, since free movement of labour is a key element of the package.

Farage, whose party has siphoned off voters from the Conservatives by attacking European bureaucracy and immigration from Eastern Europe, said Prime Minister David Cameron's pledge to curb intra-EU immigration was a "gross deception".

He said the same applied to a pre-election plan announced by Cameron on Friday to quit the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) unless it agrees that Britain's parliament has the final say over its rulings.

"The only way you can say the ECHR can’t override is by leaving the EU," Farage told Reuters on the sidelines of the meeting.

The European Court of Human Rights is not part of the structure of the 28-member European Union. It is an institution of the 47-member Council of Europe, including Russia and Turkey.

Straining to pacify the Eurosceptic wing of his own party, Cameron has promised to renegotiate Britain's EU ties if re-elected, before holding an EU membership referendum in 2017. Last week, he said would seek to alter the bloc's freedom of movement rules.

UKIP wants an immediate British withdrawal from the EU and an end to what it calls an "open door" immigration policy. It has no seats in the British parliament but holds 24 of Britain's 73 seats in the European Parliament.

The rise of Farage's anti-EU party has unsettled Conservative lawmakers, who are concerned that UKIP could split the centre-right vote at next year's national election.

"I think UK politics is in a greater state of flux than it has been at any stage in my lifetime," Farage said.

UKIP argues that Britain would be more democratic and prosperous outside the European Union.
