News review with Conservative Councillor for Westbury-On-Trym Alistair Watson - Six shy or orgerwise uncommunicative and unforthcoming councillors are up for re-election - Bristol City Slackers 2014: 3 Conservatives, 2 LibDems and 1 Labour councillor: Bishopsworth: Kevin Quartley (C), Brislington West: Peter Main (LD), Filwood: Chris Jackson (L), Lockleaze: Sean Emmett (LD), Stockwood: David Morris (C) and Stoke Bishop: John Goulandris (C). Charlotte Leslie, Conservative MP for Bristol North West, is being investigated for £17,000 cash for questions – should taxpayers fund political parties? Transparency of party funding; largest UK jobs growth for 43 years – but are these low wage, low productivity jobs and are many self-employed really unemployed just being persuaded to claim tax credits as if they had an income? Stitching-up claimants is all part of the job, says Jobcentre insider. Benefit sanctions and underhand tactics Job Centre staff are encouraged to take; Bristols housing benefit bill increases 57% since 2010 mostly to working people; PMQs Part Time jobs....; Labour MP for Bristol East Kerry McCarthy asks about tax avoidance by Tory supporter Gary Barlow - tax avoidance generally, Prime Minister David Camerons father Ian was a pioneer of tax avoidance in the early 1980s; next weeks local and European elections both being held using different systems – first past the post and proportional representation - why vote when all the parties have such similar policies? PMQs Mark Hendrick MP– tens of thousands of ambulances waiting in queues for half an hour and over in hospitals – privatisation of the NHS; David Lowe, presenter of the Singers and Swingers radio show on BBC South West bullied out of his job, his unintentional playing of the n word in one of his songs; PMQs the closing of Manston Airport in Kent - similar to Filton it is going to be built on; Avonmouth travellers are facing eviction from their home under the M5 but is this a legitimate lifestyle or not?
