Sickness shocker
Its reported that employees at Sandwell council had 109648 days of during 2009-10
A Labour representative said its getting better
This is the same as every employee having 10.58 days off each year sick
That’s 2 full weeks
Sandwell Tory said
“Only in Sandwell could they say that’s getting better, in 2008-09 it was 120735
Or 11.39 days off each, mathematically the spokesman was right.
But my question to them is
Is the reporting of sick up to scratch?
What private company could afford these rates?

Are Red Ed’s days numbered
The rumours are rife that Red Ed made a big mistake coming out to support AV, the very electoral system that got him elected, by the act of supporting a failure it now seems to have damaged his political power.
After former Prime Minister Blair allowed Scotland self rule they never dreamed that they would lose their Labour seats up there.
But lose they did big style
Sandwell blogger said
Labour please keep Red Ed as your Leader Trust me; you know I have your best interests at heart.

Voting
The voting’s over for another year, with no Conservative losses but one thing’s for sure
The AV vote as united the people and the main Political parties of Sandwell with a definite No
Sandwell’s results are
YES NO
21,738 54,355
The people have given PR or variants of it the cold shoulder in favour of the old
First Past the Post System
The old
One Man (person)One Vote sounds good to me

Ed makes a “Policy statement”
After months of waiting ED has finaly made a policy statement
When Ed Miliband started Labour's local election campaign he gave Sandwell Council praise, for being a model of efficiency.
A council we should look to as an example of "reducing waste.”
Let’s look at how Sandwell helped to reduce waste
£1.4 million on the public, which is now, puts it about £72 million spent in total Sandwell Labour say they have to save £67 million. If this grand plan had never materialised, even half of this massive amount of money would make their problems a lot easier.
What about other cost savings are Labour making? To help you
£3million on a wind turbine in Sandwell Valley, which will power 20,000 homes ?
one little problem their test wind turbine produced £35 of electricity in 1 year
£½ Million for 10 new electric cars?
Why does Sandwell need expensive electric cars when the same amount could buy
40 zero rated vehicles and why does it need cars any way?
£700 Million in liabilities (debt) with interest payments of £35 million a year.
which is the same as saying ever man, woman and child in the borough, is paying
£125 per year in debt interest
Yes Ed, but Sandwell has to do a lot to catch up your last Labour governments
£1 trillion debt
but its having a good go
Sandwell tory said "A policy, a policy we've finally got a policy"

Labour & the NHS
Who’s words are these
2010/11 is a pivotal year. The NHS still has a year of significant growth. The Chancellor’s Pre-Budget Report announced that between 2011/12 and 2012/13,
NHS frontline spending will rise in line with inflation.
As set out in my 2008/2009 Annual Report, the NHS needs to identify £15-20 billion of efficiency savings by the end of 2013/14 that can be reinvested within the service so that it can continue to deliver year on year quality improvements.
YES ITS LABOUR
Labour set out the need to make £15 – 20 billion of efficiency savings by 2014-15 (Department of Health, The Operating Framework for the NHS in England 2010/11, 16 December 2009,
The difference is the Coalition Government will make these efficiency savings and
reinvest every penny into frontline NHS care.
since 2009 there are an extra 2500 nurses
under the coalition
