Tories and son of Tories were never going to welcome Clair were they.

So Why did the Labour Party abandon Clair ? I am a ex Labour party district councillor..The room was very inclusive of all members of different parties. Martin P you should of been there and given Clair some support.

I can't see any benefit of clair attending a blue stage managed event, anyway yesterday she visited the dover rotary beer festival held at the fox pub in temple ewell.

Howard, there's at least one Rotary member and two of the music festival committee in that pic, I think all would object to either event being described as politically stage managed by any party.

I don't quite understand if they are celebrating the demise of the closure or bemoaning it given their stance on the burning of fossil fuels.
I'm guessing they're celebrating.

Absolutely spot on bob, that's why labour supporters are leaving in droves, Milliband doesn't have a clue.

I agree about the work permits and I am sick and tired of those who say we are free to go to Europe to work, I agree we can but how many want to when the wages abroad are far below ours.
So many who come here send or take their spare money to their homeland so they can improve their standard of living which is understandable. The problem is they are not only taking our jobs, low paid or not, they are not spending their excess money in this country.

Great post Jan. The problem is not with people who want to come here, who wouldn't. It lies with our cosseted politicians who have refused to face facts.

In Eastern and Southern EU countries, wages are lower than in the UK. But in France, Germany, Benelux and Scandinavia they are higher. Highest of all of course in Switzerland and Norway, which are outside the EU.

Hilary Benn has never been near a pit in his life, just another champagne socialist dining out on nepotism.

Nearly David, you left our millionaire champagne socialist. Caption to the above picture should be " Muwahahaha We hate carbon and inside I'm secretly laughing at all those who lost their jobs in the pits and labour would have shut even more down if only we had the chance".

Labour is trying to attach themselves to the miners dispute 30th anniversary.
The hypocrisy of this, from a party that abandoned the British working class,
In favour of opening the labour market doors to cheap EU workers, destroying the wages of there former voters,
Thatcher's greatest achievement was New labour.

The still working miners, are now mostly so called self-employed agency controlled railway maintenances workers,
And they are going to vote ukip ,because there over run with cheap EU workers compressing wages.
