Where have all the working-class leaders gone? | David Skelton

Britain used to have many politicians of modest - but not now. Not surprisingly, the poorest have lost interest

"The first [of a new working class MP] must have in mind is that it was not of their ancestors. His ancestors had no part in the past, the dust of those who now drowns his own footsteps. His ancestors were sheep or tillage, or serving as a State, whose names have been written on the walls around them, or whose portraits look down the long corridors. He is the past of his people to show color spreads before his eyes were excluded from this. was banned in the dramatic scenes depicted in the frescoes in it people are there for the first time ".. - Nye Bevan, instead of fear

When Nye Bevan gave this passionate articulation of the experience of a new working class MP in the mid-20th century, could be quite sure that in the future, Parliament and politics been more increasingly dominated by members of the working class. Half a century after the Labour Party was formed to increase the representation of the working class, Bevan had the confidence to say that "order [the old policy] and the class was dying."

The next few decades has served to support his theory. Since the election of Harold Wilson in 1964 by John Major in 1990, the United Kingdom was ruled by a succession of prime ministers humble beginnings. In the postwar years, politicians of the working class has played a leading role - Bevan, Bevin and David Davis Tebbit and Alan Johnson

In recent years, however, the situation is reversed. The current policy is characterized by the absence of leaders and personalities of the working class. The working class are still excluded from long corridors of Parliament. The three party leaders are relatively privileged backgrounds. The Labour Party has become increasingly middle class in makeup and instinct, the Conservative Party is considered the new party of the rich and there are few examples of real numbers of the working class in the upper echelons of the policy.

In 1979, nearly 40% of Labour MPs had done manual labor or office. In 2010, he was only 9%. During the same period, the number of Labour MPs who were journalists and presenters have more than doubled, and 11% of all the members have experience in public relations and marketing (which was close to zero in 1979). Sixty per cent of government ministers, 54% of Conservative MPs and 40% of liberal Democrats who attended the honorary members, against only 7% of the population.

Where are the leaders of the working class disappeared? What can we do to make politics more representative?


course, the decline of heavy industry and the labor movement must have had a role to play, but certainly not the only reason. In fact, 45% of Labour MPs are now "on political and labor organizations." The difference is that today, many union members went straight from college to work as press officers or investigators, whereas in the past had worked his way through the ranks of labor.

Eurozone crisis live: Yields fall at Italian debt sale as Hungary scraps auction





. Only available in Italian ? 7.017bn raised, compared to ? 8.5 billion maximum target

. All details of the sale of debt in Italy today. Analysts are impressed.

. Hungary canceled the auction of three-year bonds

. Today's agenda

. Catch live coverage of yesterday " / aa>

3:39 p.m.

If this market has not seen the blog of Nick Fletcher of the Armed Forces, here's a quick glance eye position in the U.S. today. Investors reacted favorably to the figures of unemployment claims, which rose last week, but decreased in a basic four-week moving average.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average is about 70 points, helping to push the FTSE 100 30.30 points higher at 5537.70. The weekly initial jobless claims in the United States increased from 15,000 to 381,000, slightly higher than the projected figure of 375,000. But analysts said that after three consecutive declines before that, there seemed to be an improvement in the labor market in December.

Meanwhile, the purchasing managers index was 62.5 in Chicago in December, down slightly from 62.6 in November, but ahead of consensus estimates of 61.

3:21 p.m.

Despite relatively optimistic tone of Société Générale (see below), analysts still believe that banks store the money in 2012, which means they are less likely to lend to other banks or the real economy.

This is summarized in the amount of cash near Pomerol night with the European Central Bank, which reached ? 452bn this week, although most of those who had actually been paid by the ECB in the three years of cheap financing in the approach of Christmas. As long as the sovereign debt crisis persists, say some analysts, banks use the money to pay its own debt rather than lend it elsewhere.

Alessandro Giansanti, an ING rates strategist, told Reuters:

I hope that [banks] to save money on desposits ... because they fear it could cash in the short term and can not cope with bond redemption, [while] the deposits are down and they need larger pools of liquidity. The origin of the problem banks are governments. Until the government risk is always present [interbank stress] is not going away.

2:54 p.m.

economists at Societe Generale, a French bank, I think that Europe is not horrible writhing in the jaws a real credit crunch, according to latest figures. Overall deposits in M3 in the euro area - which are a measure of liquidity into the economy - fell by a "modest" ? 13 billion in November. This resulted in the displacement of the average annual M3 growth to 2%.

Now, the idea of ??growth of M3 ECB dangerously inflation is 4.5%, it is likely that the ECB chief Mario Draghi can reduce interest rates at their current record low of 1%. Aware that all references to the M3 deposits can be difficult for a touch after Christmas frontal lobes, Société Générale experts have launched a metaphor for the winter:

To paint a picture of the season, the European economy at present is like an icebreaker to forge their own path through the Arctic ice: when shortage of icebergs on the horizon, stoically take to avoid them and do heavy if progress predictable. The landscape is still dark, but not precipitously. Therefore, the latest figures from the money supply in the euro area continues to reflect the financial difficulties of the steep banking industry, but the time show no signs of an emerging credit crisis in full.

14:44:

Howard Archer of IHS Global Insight has some positive ideas on sales after Christmas, the database footprint (a measure of how many people enter the store) and anecdotal reports. Bargain hunters are tracking expensive items that are the source of the attractive price tags, said Archer. He adds:

The strong activity described in the lifts early Christmas after the sale of the hope that consumer spending in general have grown decent in December and may have contributed to the economy in order to prevent contraction in the fourth quarter.

But this could be to delay the inevitable, said Archer, with sales in December follies unlikely to prevent a contraction that is advertised by forces stronger than sales of stickers on the windows, such that: rising unemployment, stagnant wages and high inflation.

The concern is that once the best selling business are gone, consumers quickly away from their wallets and purses, and suffer a major downturn. This could weigh heavily on consumer spending in the first months of 2012 and raise the already high risk that the economy could contract in the first quarter of 2012.

14:32: Hello . More John Hooper in Rome at the press conference Monti.

Monti did not much further on what he and his government was working. But he said at the end of January that it planned to publish two new packages - one on competition and liberalization and the other with the reform of employment and welfare

John Hooper , our Italian correspondent, has all the details:


After stating that the auction this morning for the bonds was "fairly well", a complaint was slight at Monti's "spread" - increasing the return required by investors to buy Italian reference obligations rather than their German safe haven.

"To an economist, there is no fair price than that set by the market," he said. "Certainly, there is nothing in the fundamentals of our economy to provide a strong dispersion."


Always looking on the bright side, a touch of Italian debt purchases fall by the ECB had almost dried up. He said the Italians should be "somewhat relieved" by the fact that "before [the spread] was going to go much commercial", but now were in a state of "decline with purchases almost stopped."

few minutes ago, he also took a sweet - is this the kind of man - blow to the Germans. Referring to frequent demonstrations by the German authorities in Berlin that the government is paralyzed by public opinion, said: "The German authorities could perhaps have done more to educate the German public about the benefits of euro and the single market "

the auction in Italy, this time

Kathleen Brooks of Forex. com

The market had been hanged in the auction of long-term debt to Italy today and yesterday was the success of short-term auction suggested that it might be.

The timing of the auction was bad enough for Rome, as it is difficult to see who wants a ton of Italian debt on its balance sheet at year end. The auction results were mixed debt, with the shorter 2014-bonds can not attract offers maximum but yields were down 7.89% last month to 5.62%.

the long-term debt falling

also saw the performance, with 11-year bond yields fell to 6.98% of the7.56% last month. This is below the critical point of 7%, but little, and shows that, in Italy, the situation remains precarious.

The strike means that the budget offices of Greece will now be closed for two days last year -. Prevent citizens from paying deperately needed funds into the coffers of the country

This marked the beginning of a 48-hour strike to protest against austerity measures recently imposed by Lucas Papademos government strives to meet the targets set by the IMF.

Minister of Finance Evangelos Venizelos Federation had urged tax collectors, not to strike but the union insisted the strike must have place. In a statement, said:

decisions taken by the government contribute to the destruction of the mechanism of tax collection and financial distress of the workers.

collectors, fully aware of the situation in the country, can not remain silent.

The closure caused a spike in tax offices late yesterday. Associated Press reports:

Wednesday, hundreds of Greeks were quick to resolve last-minute tax office before the strike. Many surrendered their license plates, who prefer to take their car to the road rather than pay higher taxes from the road.

Mario Monti said he was happy bond auction today. In his traditional press conference season, the Italian Prime Minister said:

auctions held yesterday and today was pretty good, but the financial crisis has in no way complete.

You are absolutely right!
Monti went on to explain that most of the work to reassure the markets that must occur in Europe, adding that present the details of their own growth plans of finance ministers in January.

FA appeals against Rooney's Euro ban


. The England striker prohibited by the group stage of Euro 2012

Rooney was sent off in the qualifier against Montenegro

Football Association confirmed that it will appeal against the sentence of three games to see Wayne Rooney to miss the group stages of Euro 2012. The Board was careful to spread their punishment, but said it will not happen. Once the fax UEFA recognizes the action was brought, a decision is expected within six days. It is possible that the conclusion was reached at the end of next week.

"We will appeal the suspension of three of Wayne Rooney received after the recent Euro 2012 qualification in Montenegro," said an FA spokesman. "We received written reasons for the map Red Tuesday night and we had until midnight [Friday] to respond. "

While the FA believes it is worthwhile to pursue the case, there is an awareness of the offense UEFA unpleasant nature by Rooney at Euro 2012 last month played Montenegro where he left his frustration with poor control led him to set Miodrag Dzudovic. Montenegro defender spoke in support of Rooney.

not known if Rooney will travel to make a personal appeal to UEFA by the ban. England should have been known to swell and he had a red card for the stamp in Portuguese Ricardo Carvalho in the quarter-finals of the 2006 World Cup. Rooney is now more stable, especially with his club. However, it remains a cause of anxiety to his international manager.

On his way to the petulance is even more disturbing that the aggression against the clock Dzudovic in Podgorica. However, patience Capello Rooney is not going away. There are very few artists who can come close to matching the impact of Rooney when he is at peace and on task.

John Terry is another figure in which Capello has invested faith. The Italian, exceptionally, it returned its verdict when the reinstatement as captain. The manager, however, is too sensitive to be involved in the scandal of the last difficulty of Terry. There have been allegations that Terry led a racist remark in Queens Park Rangers defense of Anton Ferdinand, the England captain, but declined to comment. Capello has no plans to get involved in the question and the FA was left to reach a verdict on the issue.

Behind these questions is that, regardless of the opinions held by Capello, Terry your need is great when Rio Ferdinand's future is in doubt now that it is difficult to obtain and maintain the condition of physics. There are hard times in recent months time Capello with England. For now, they have come to accept the sudden stop as a natural state of things, but their hopes of leaving office in style did not look good this week.

The truth about the Khmer Rouge is too big for one court case


not until all Khmer Rouge leaders who come to give sincere testimony of Cambodia really can bury his past

was almost dark when I arrived at the small wooden house on the border between Thailand and Cambodia. He greeted me with a tired smile. We both knew that this was the last time we sat down to eat a meal together.

the next morning the police came with a helicopter to arrest Nuon Chea, the senior surviving Khmer Rouge leader, wanted by a UN-backed tribunal for his alleged involvement in the death of 1 7 million. The dead included my parents and my brother.

It was almost four years. Nuon Chea trial begins Monday. I will not go on Monday morning, but I said, it can be called as a witness later. It is because I am the only person that Nuon Chea has counted so far with the deepest secrets of the Khmer Rouge regime was found with Pol Pot. I put a small fraction of the thousands of hours of interviews he gave me, between 2001 and 2007 in my enemies documentary of the population.

I have mixed feelings about the court. If it helps us get to the truth that has been worth it. But the truth of the killing fields may be too large for a single case in court, even as the British co-prosecutor stated that "the persecution largest and most complicated since Nuremberg in 1945."

After my film won an award at the Sundance Film Festival, the judges and I shook my British co-director Rob Lemkin to remove the film as part of the evidence the prosecution in the case against Nuon Chea. We refuse - Nuon Chea had not spoken frankly that I said I would deliver the material to the court Among the comments we have even said we were a hand with the Khmer Rouge genocide. Nothing could be further from the truth. In any case, the order of the Court shows that are still in use in the film as evidence in the public domain now. But I'm glad you're not part of the prosecution case, it would mean that no Khmer Rouge speak honestly with me or any other researcher or journalist. In fact, many continue to talk to me precisely because I think my project is neutral and truly interested in creating an archive for future generations. Notice today is much more important that the procedures last year against Duch, the head of the S-21 prison. Cambodians are desperate to hear Nuon Chea directly for the first time.

Arsene Wenger has expressed fears that the best players of Arsenal Cesc Fabregas Samir Nasri could go on and the Emirates Stadium, the club can not match the salaries offered elsewhere.

Arsenal have opened contract negotiations with Theo Walcott, Alex Song and Robin van Persie, but the director said there is no guarantee that you will be able to persuade them to stay. Discussions should also start with the defender Thomas Vermaelen.

Fabregas was the largest source of club £ 90,000 a week before leaving for Barcelona in the summer and Nasri denied the same amount before leaving Manchester City, which has tripled its profits by £ 180,000 week. Gael Clichy has also greatly improved their salary to the town.

"We try to convince them," he said. "Our aim is not to and are willing to sit down with them, but after seeing where we go."
"Frankly, I never believed," said French. "I always said that Cesc is a godsend. With Nasri least we had a reasonable time [£ 25,000,000] for a player with one year to follow. [With] Cesc we have been forced into a situation, because for me It is one of the best midfielders in the world and we knew it would sell for what it is [potentially £ 35m ]."

Bahrain and Libya expose the two faces of Britain's foreign policy | Ian Birrell

Gaddafi bombed, but now Bahraini court. Our foreign policy is based on ethics, or trade?

Tripoli

air is heady with optimism. After 42 years of repressive rule and rapacious by Muammar Gaddafi, there is an atmosphere of euphoria, despite the water shortages and power cuts that hit the city since the fall of the dictator.

There are good reasons for hope as well as research continues Gaddafi. Sensitive Note beaten by the new leader of the country on Monday night at Place des Martyrs highlights the widespread desire for a better future. Mustafa Abdul Jalil spoke to the place where his predecessor has given many of his most famous speeches, but the tone could not be more different, not feeling more optimistic.

problems abound, including the need to disarm the militia with regional loyalties and the difficulties of the recovery of a resource-rich economy kleptocracy without a family tainted by corruption and creation of a new oligarchy . But for now, Libya has the best chance to get out the winner of the recent events that have hit North Africa and Middle East.

The situation in Bahrain is marred by sectarian divisions and the proximity of Iran and Saudi Arabia. However, these complications are not an excuse for Britain to abandon its support for those trying to overthrow the oppression in the region. After all, we saw what happens when the foreign policy principles are sacrificed for shady dealings with despots, leaving our nation involved in torture and to appease a dictator.

Britain faces
this unpredictable world, complicit in the brutal bombing of Qadhafi and the next moment. Now, the mixed messages sent to those seeking basic human rights more confusion. Can only serve to feed the cynicism that our position towards the Arab spring is based more on business ethics.

NHS waiting times increase for diagnostic tests

recent figures show that 15,667 patients waited more than six weeks in May 3378 compared to May last year

patient health and treatment can suffer because of NHS waiting times for x-ray, cardiology and ultrasound are increasing dramatically, doctors warn.

waits longer for access to diagnostic tests may cause anxiety for patients and that the identification of serious diseases like cancer was delayed, they say.

His warning comes as new figures show that 15,667 NHS patients have waited more than six weeks to undergo a diagnostic procedure in May only -. An increase of four times more than the same month of 2010, when they 3378

new figures into question the promise of David Cameron to ensure that wait times do not rise, despite the growing demand for medical care and the difficult financial climate within the NHS. The fact that one of its "five promises personal" to the voters of the Social Security last month.

Lighthouse 18-week target for patients to be treated in consultation with a doctor is also under pressure. The quarterly data in the region next week, is expected to show a further decline. Performance in other markers of time is as slippery as the waiting time of four hours to be seen in A & E.

"We can not return to the days when it took three months for an MRI or an ultrasound done, but it's a risk," said Dr Clare Gerada, Chair of the Royal College of general practitioners. "Delays in access to diagnosis can cause anxiety and uncertainty and, in the worst case, result in failure to diagnose a serious condition early enough, such as cancer."

The British Medical Association warned that should the diagnosis could affect the treatment. "You expect more for the tests has a ripple effect on the time needed to diagnose and treat patients," said a spokesman. "To provide a more efficient NHS should not be at the expense of poor patient care at the forefront."

The NHS diagnostic tests monthly figures do not include non-emergency hospitalization and procedures for routine screening (eg, Pap test) or control routine examinations.
"These figures show that long waiting times for tests are more than four times since David Cameron became Prime Minister," said John Healey, secretary of the party's shadow health Labor. "It is clear that the reorganization of irresponsible government is beginning to impact on patient care, and we begin to see the NHS to go back under the Conservatives."
