Ooooh, Keef, true colours time. What's worse, milking the taxpayer through a euro-sinecure or arranging your affairs so that you don't pay income or capital gains tax?

Growth might not be enough for Cameron
The UKIP factor could lead Ed Miliband to No 10 . . . and other things to know about the electoral scene
1 Labour's lead is small, but it might be enough for victory
Labour is polling around six percentage points ahead of the Conservatives. Oppositions that have gone on to win elections usually enjoy leads in the high teens, so a six-point lead looks inadequate for Ed Miliband. But the failure of Parliament to enact the Boundary Commission's fairer distribution of seat sizes means that Labour can conceivably win a small Co ...........full story The Times.

The blues might no be at their best,but puting the reds back in power ,just think what happen last time they were in.We must get out of the EU,we must stop the public from overseas who ever they are coming to the UK,to live and work and that must be 100% not just a cut in numbers,this would help in more money for the NHS ,save millions of pounds in the paying out in benefits to outsiders from overseas,the reds would not take that on,even the blues are not doing a good job of it but they are trying.

Shipyards jobs axe: an Independent Scotland 'could lose key Royal Navy contracts'
Forecast from Cabinet ministers follows announcement that protected Glasgow shipbuilding jobs while scrapping them in Portsmouth
Scotland could lose key contracts to build new Royal Navy ships if it votes in favour of independence in next year's referendum, Cabinet ministers forecast today.
Their warning came after the Government announced it was protecting shipbuilding jobs in Glasgow while scrapping them in Portsmouth.
The decision left David Cameron facing accusations from MPs of all parties of being motivated by shoring up the "no" vote in Scotland at the expense of jobs in England.
But Philip Hammond, the Defence Secretary, and Alistair Carmichael, the Scottish Secretary, signalled that today's announcement could be reversed if the Scots opted to leave the United Kingdom.
Mr Hammond said: "The UK has always built complex warships in the United Kingdom so that it has sovereign control over the operation of those contracts."
Mr Carmichael told the Commons it would be "difficult to see how the work would go to Scotland" if it was independent.
MPs from the south of England reacted furiously after the defence giant BAE Systems said shipbuilding would end at Portsmouth in mid-2014 with the loss of 940 skilled jobs.

David Cameron has backed Iain Duncan Smith's handling of universal credit after a report by MPs claimed the welfare shake-up had gone badly wrong.
The public accounts committee said much of the £425m spent so far may have to be written-off due to poor management.
Mr Duncan Smith denies claims he tried to "lean on" members of the committee to place the blame on his top official.

Could be the reason they are so out of touch....................
Jeremy Hunt joins Cabinet rich list with £17m sale of company
Secretary of State for Health had the idea for the listings service while teaching English in Japan after graduating
Jeremy Hunt, the Secretary of State for Health, is set to become the richest member of the Cabinet after it emerged that he is in line for a £17m windfall from the imminent sale of his own company.
Hotcourses, an education listings service Mr Hunt co-founded before he became an MP, is believed to be close to a deal to be bought for £35m by the private equity firm Inflexion. Although he stood down as a director in 2009, he is understood to hold a 49 per cent stake in the company.
If the deal goes ahead, Mr Hunt, who is said to be worth £4.2m, would overtake Philip Hammond, the Secretary of State for Defence, as the wealthiest Cabinet minister. Mr Hammond is worth £8.2m, according to a survey last year by Wealth-X, which provides intelligence on the super-rich.
The disclosure of the business deal revived the debate over whether Mr Cameron's "cabinet of millionaires" is out of touch with ordinary people struggling during Britain's "cost of living crisis."
