MPs are to press for a debate in Parliament on the Government's controversial change in measuring pension rises after a petition topped 100,000 signat...
This is a seminal moment in the UK parliamentary cycle. The Tory Party have overtaken Labour in two of today's polls (YouGov & Ipsos-Mori) and they have drawn level with Labour in ComRes polling.
I was having a conversation with my colleague earlier this week about pensions. I'm not putting any money into a pension fund. I never have and I nev...
Across the UK children weren't educated, trash wasn't collected and hospital patients weren't treated (one of the angles of 'socialised medicine' that wasn't covered during the furious Obama-care debates...)
Unions are set to appeal against a High Court decision which declared government changes to public sector pensions were legal. Chris Keates, Genera...
Today's strikes have been a long time coming and trade unions have had ample opportunity to call them off, but a small number of hardliners are determined to cause disruption to millions of people.
Of course everyone's pension is important to them but these issues are not going to be resolved as a consequence of the disruption which will be caused by the strikes on Wednesday. They are only going to be resolved by sensible discussion and negotiation.
The right to strike is an important one, but it is not one that should be unfettered. The public and private sectors should be treated equally.

First and foremost in my argument is the simple, and accurate, assertion that the Tories are in fact hopeful that the unions will walk out and stage numerous protests over the coming months. These pension reforms have provided Cameron with a window of opportunity to finally finish what Margaret Thatcher started during her reign as Conservative leader.
The number of consultants taking voluntary early retirement has jumped 72% in one year - with dissatisfaction with the NHS largely to blame, according...
Private school teachers believe that their public pensions scheme is "crucial", with many saying they would leave the profession if forced out of it, ...
It seems that teaching has never really escaped from a fatally corrosive virgin-whore dichotomy. On one hand, ITV celebrates teachers in a mawkish, quasi-celebritised manner in the Teaching Awards; on the other, the moment teachers decide to defend their profession and the benefits that make up for the decades of hard grind, they are vilified.
Public sector workers would be allowed to down tools for a 15-minute protest without losing pay if trade unions call off full-scale strikes, a Cabinet...
Ballot papers are being issued to more than 200,000 teachers as part of growing union plans for a strike on November 30 in the bitter row over public ...
What should young people do? They should rattle their electoral sabre. You make politicians worry and concern themselves with your issues by voting. That's what gives you, as a voter, your power. It's what makes politicians worry about what you think.
Interest rates must rise by five percent now, not stay low nor creep up a little at a time, or they, and inflation, will be at 15 or 20% soon. Altho...
