| Cameron would repeat mistakes of the past - Cooper |
Yvette Cooper MP, Labour's Chief Secretary to the Treasury, launching a Labour analysis of Cameron's do nothing approach to the global economic challenges, said today: "David Cameron is making empty promises to hide the fact that the Conservatives would do nothing to help the British economy, and once again would turn their backs on the British people in difficult times. "The cruelest of his empty promises is a loans scheme to business when he also rules out providing the money to fund it. "The fact is every economy in the world will face real challenges in 2009. That's why it's so important to provide British families and businesses with real help to get through the downturn sooner and stronger. "Labour is determined to provide real help - including the VAT cut which will save households on average £275 a year, and £60 for every pensioner this month -- all opposed by David Cameron. "David Cameron talks about the 1970s. The truth is the Conservatives are returning to the worst of Thatcherism in the early eighties with no support for jobs or the economy and cuts in public services as well. "The Conservatives are repeating their mistakes of the past: if a timely fiscal stimulus of similar scale had been applied at the beginning of the 1990s recession, around 300,000 fewer jobs might not have been lost."...

| State Pension 100 years Old |
Labour Ministers have marked the one hundredth birthday of the state pension – received by over 12 million people across the country. Today the Basic State Pension is worth around four times more than the amount received in 1909. Help with fuel, Council Tax and rent plus the one-off payment of £60 on top of the regular £10 Christmas payment bonus boosts it further. Labour’s Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, James Purnell, said: "It is incredible to think that one in four babies born today could live to 100. Things have come a long way since 1909. People live longer and want more from later life. These days people can spend a quarter of a century getting their State Pension." "As the State Pension moves into its second century we are committed to ensuring that pensioners receive the help they need. Which is why, alongside the State Pension and Pension Credit, this winter pensioners will receive additional support through their Winter Fuel Payment and an extra £60 bonus." Labour’s Minister for Pensions and the Ageing Society, Rosie Winterton, added: "Today we salute the first pension pioneers who fought to provide security for people in old age. 100 years on the State Pension continues to be a foundation of support for people as they retire and we have taken steps now to ensure this will be the case for years to come."...
