Another week of meetings as we wait to hear what further cuts
George Osborne will impose on us, but we
have already heard this week that County Councils will be able to raise council
tax by a further 2% to help cover the cost of social care, wonder what will
Tory run Suffolk will do? They have promised no council tax rise in both 2015
and 2016.
Then again not sure many of us have any confidence in the
Suffolk leadership as one of their Cabinet members decided enough was enough
and packed it in, what was interesting was that she stated she was not happy
with the direction of the national party as well as closer to home in Suffolk.
Colin Noble must now be concerned that he will not be able to hold onto the
leadership of the Tory Group, not that you would know from his twitter feed (or
the twitter feeds from SCC or SCC Cabinet) that anything was wrong!
But it also has not been a great week for the Labour Party,
but we must stay united and keep fighting but I am concerned of the direction
we are taking – but all is not lost and in Ipswich we are determined to work
hard alongside our many new members to win another electoral victory in May.
But we must sort out our differences – but in meetings and
with debate not on the pages of Tory supporting papers or via the world of
twitter.
What I will say is that we could become the most middle
class the Labour Party has ever felt, more a party of protects, more like an
off shoot of the Green Party than a party of not just opposition but a party
that wants to get back into power to make the changes that are need to help all
of us in this country.
I expect our leaders to get a grip and drive us forward, do
not write of our chances in 2020, still plenty of time to get our cat together.
