A message from Bill Cunningham
He's the Labour candidate for the Edinburgh City Centre ward and I've just received a leaflet from him.
According to Bill:
Labour Helping Every Family
Like this:
Low and stable mortgage rates
But interest rates are being held artificially low and this will eventually lead to a financial crisis. Those who've paid off their mortgages and folk like pensioners relying on their savings are being ripped off. So much for "every" family.
Record rise in Child benefit for all
Not everyone has children. So much for "every" family.
A new child trust fund for the future.
I refer readers to my previous answer.
Longer and better maternity leave.
I refer readers to my previous answer. And of course Bill doesn't mention the inevitable job losses that will ensue.
Two weeks paternity leave for the working dads.
I refer readers to my previous answer.
The right to flexible working hours
Bill means
whether your employer can afford it or not. Another job-destroying piece of nonsense.
For everyone in work, a national minimum wage
But not for those kept out of work by precisely the same minimum wage policy.
