WYRE FOREST LIB DEMS VOTE TO END INCOME TAX
Sun 27th Sep 2009
The Liberal Democrats have voted to take four million people out of income tax altogether. Wyre Forest sent a delegation to the party's Bournemouth conference last week to hear Shadow Chancellor, Vince Cable propose to raise the standard threshold for income tax to £10,000. This would save everybody paying income tax on between £10,000 and £100,000 per year up to £700 per year and take millions of low paid workers and pensioners out of tax altogether. The scheme would be paid for by closing tax loopholes for the rich.

Staff and Students Deserve Better
Mon 31st Aug 2009
Clare Cassidy and the Lib Dems say Lickhill School's treatment by Worcs Tory Council is a shambles. The County Council blames the government, but Wyre Forest schools are failing because of the County Hall's lack of support for staff, governors and children during the recent restructuring. Clare Cassidy's decade of experience in governing schools will make her a strong voice for education in Lickhill.

Hospitals-Hippocratic or Hypocritic
Mon 10th Aug 2009
Were you taught not to cheat as a child? I was. So why does almost everything we do in life involve some kind of cheating? For instance, why to hospitals cheat on waiting time rules? Last January, when I checked myself into A&E after prolapsing a disc and paralysing my legs, why did they move me from A&E to an almost identical department called Rapid Reaction something-or-other? Was it because they wanted to beat the 4 hour government limit on waiting times in Accident and Emergency?

"I hate to say it, but only one party leader seems to have grasped that, if you construct a system where unskilled people are worse off by taking a job than by staying on welfare, they remain trapped in poverty - and that is Nick Clegg. "
Lord Norman Tebbit
Daily Telegraph online - 13 Jan
"It's unbelievable that the Tories are still planning to cut taxes for a handful of millionaires when the majority of people across the country are feeling the squeeze. We need fair tax cuts that put money back in the pockets of ordinary people. The Tory sums simply do not stack up. It is irresponsible and highly misleading for George Osborne to continue to pretend that they do. "
Vince Cable MP
