Parents Need Policies Not Platitudes From David Cameron

I am looking forward what the fightback has to offer us it is for this reason why I am voting for a Labour Government as this Government is doing a lot to help the many & not the privileged few, I would urge all comrades to join We're Backing Brown, LabourWin, Believe in Labour, At the 2010 General Election, I'm voting Labour.

Dawn Primarolo MP, Labour’s Children and Families Minister said:

"Parents need policies not platitudes from David Cameron. Families in Britain don't just want warm words, they deserve to know exactly what David Cameron would do to support them.

"David Cameron has refused to protect funding for schools or Sure Start over the next three years. Instead he would cut £200m each year from Sure Start - a fifth of its budget - and take support away for families on modest and middle incomes. By contrast, Labour are determined to help all families and have already opened over 3,000 Sure Start Children Centres across the country.

"David Cameron still can't explain how he would pay for a marriage tax allowance and even though research today shows tax credits play a vital role in cutting child poverty, David Cameron is set on cutting back this essential support."

Brown &Cameron Compete To Slash Spending

Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Tory leader David Cameron haggled over spending cuts while cynically backing ever-increased spending on the disastrous war in Afghanistan.

For good measure, Lib Dem Treasury spokesman Vince Cable joined in the cuts menage a trois, although taking a different line on Trident nuclear weapons.

The Conservative leader demanded even bigger public spending cuts this year.

Mr Cameron challenged Mr Brown's assertion that the biggest cuts must be delayed till after the "recovery" and then imposed over four years from 2011.

Addressing a press conference at 10 Downing Street, Mr Brown admitted that the extra cost of the Afghan war was running at £3.5 billion this year.

And he boasted that "we have raised the defence budget in real terms every year in the life of this government."

Mr Brown scolded the Tories for not spending enough on the armed forces, declaring: "You must remember that the defence budget was cut savagely under the previous Tory government."

At his press conference a few hundred yards away, Mr Cameron complained that Britain was borrowing money "at a rate of around £6,000 every second."

He parroted: "We cannot go on like this."

Mr Brown retorted a few minutes later: "Any party which is suggesting that we make huge cuts in our spending today is putting the recovery at risk."

Just across the Thames, Mr Cable told a City-friendly audience that big savings could be made through cutting Trident replacement and axing the Eurofighter and ID cards.

He demanded huge public spending cuts which would be £10bn larger than the government's plans.

And he urged "a tougher public-sector incomes policy, limiting any pay increase to a maximum £8 a week."
