Tory youth wings have long been renowned for attracting unpleasant fundamentalists, of course. Looks like Bursnall is yet to mature beyond that stage.

I think it means that the two other budgets would, overall, have put us in a better position, i.e. Labour were getting us out of the mess.

That's not what it says though.

What does it say, then?

Bones may disagree but it seems to me that it shows that Darling's last budget would have reduced the deficit slowly and steadily, as he promised at the time (2 parliaments to reduce it). The June 2010 data are Osborne's first budget, which shows the deficit being reduced more quickly (meaning more pain, unemployment etc.). It does, however, reduce the deficit. The last data set doesn't reduce the deficit as much.

However, I'm not seeing how the 2010 and 2012 budgets have data for 2009-10. It looks suspect to me, unless there is some more data to show the working.

As if this fucking clown hasn't done enough damage already.

Andrew Lansley backs lower pay for NHS staff in poorer areas

Quote:

Andrew Lansley, the health secretary, is threatening another controversial revolution in the NHS by proposing that its staff be paid less if they work in poorer parts of the country.

The cabinet minister is backing a plan for regional pay, which would mean that nurses, midwives, hospital porters, cleaners and paramedics would earn less if they work in the north or the Midlands rather than in the south of England. Official documents reveal that the only exemption backed by the Department of Health would be for highly paid managers working in new bodies established to deliver Lansley's controversial NHS reform programme, widely criticised as a privatisation of the health service.

The department, according to a submission to the NHS pay review body, believes special arrangements would be necessary for this new cohort of executives to "attract and retain high-calibre leaders and staff responsible for transforming delivery".

NHS pay was only really harmonised nationally relatively recently. 'Agenda for Change' has been an arse to implement, however the who point of the process was to stop the huge numbers of sideways moves by people who could get better pay for doing the same job in a diffrent trust as the staff turnover this generated (over a prolonged period) would have cost far far more than pay harmonisation has.

Every day they give us a new reason to hate them. They really don't care. By 2015 Lansley will have his board of directors role all setup at some private healthcare firm.
