Yes and they promptly raised CGT by 50% compared to Labour!

Seems pretty much New Labour with plummy accents to me.

Yes, she's another one of those frikkin' "tsars".

Complete waste of space and public money. Thought we'd seen the last of them when we saw the back of Nu Labour.

Sleaze 1 - Goodbye A4e??

BBC News - 'Family champion' Emma Harrison steps down from role

Oh dear, what will the unemployed do without A4e?

Their dynamic jobfinding skills:
-Photocopying hundreds of application forms for three fictitious jobs at Tesco.
-Having rooms full of people surfing the same .gov website that you can access at any job centre or from home for four hours.
-Sending follow-up questionaires to new employers that you found by yourself without A4e.

Their helpful advice:
"Ask your landlords to drop your rent"
"Drive more slowly"
"Buy a smaller car"
"Go to bed earlier so you don't use the lights as much"
"Ask your relatives / friends / neighbours not to throw out unused food, but send it to you"

Their 20 pence/mile refund for driving to pointless sessions.

A ridiculous waste of millions of pounds of public money.
