Hung Parliaments and recession

Over the last few days their has been talk of what happens in the event of neither the Labour or Tory Party having an overall majority.

The simple answer is that the political uncertainity would cause the financial markets to go into a state of panic not seen since the start of the recession.

All the good work done by the Labour Government in getting Britian out of recession would be undone in a matter of minutes after the election result.

Real Progress on the NHS

The Kings Fund report out today shows the real progress that has resulted from Labour's commitment and record investment in the NHS.

The reduction in waiting times is very welcome.

The challenge for the NHS over the next few years is dealing with the health inpacts of rising levels of Alcohol and the problems caused by obesity.

In England 46% of men and 32% of women are overweight with a Body Mass Index of over 25-30,

Whist 17% of men and 21% of Women are classed at obese ie BMI over 30.

Oh and before you get the idea that I am some mega skinny person telling you about this I have to confess to my own battle with weight I am currently 14 and half stone battling to get down to 13 stone.
