| Labour launches radical school reforms |
Labour’s Schools Secretary Ed Balls, has announced radical new school reforms to build on the massive improvements in the last decade; create a world-class education system; and build a strong economy and work force for the future. The White Paper – ‘Your Child, Your Schools, Our Future’ – sets out Labour's plan to continue school improvement. The creation of a Pupil Guarantee will offer one-to-one tuition in English and Maths for children under 11 at risk of falling behind and a Year 7 “Progress Check” to offer extra support for 11-year-olds who start secondary school below expectations. The guarantee also provides for extra support for gifted and talented learners, specialist outside help for health and social problems, a say on how their school is doing and how it can be improved, a Personal Tutor at secondary school and five hours PE or sport a week. The new Parent Guarantee will help parents be involved in their child’s school, with school discipline agreements properly enforced. This will include clearer information about their child’s school performance; help and advice on choosing schools; and high quality advice about their career and subject choices. Parents will also be guaranteed access to a named personal tutor, online information about child’s attainment, progress and attendance, more influence on their school and access to additional support on childcare, activities and health services for their child. Strengthened Home-School Agreements will clearly set out schools rules and the responsibilities of pupils and their families. Heads will have a...

| Labour launches Building Britain's Future |
Labour's Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, has launched 'Building Britain's Future', a plan setting out how the Labour Government will create a fairer, stronger and more prosperous country. The plan’s focus on jobs highlights the Labour Government’s belief that the country cannot afford to lose another generation to unemployment as the Conservatives allowed to happen in the past. By guaranteeing every young person who has been out of work for a year a job, training or work experience, Labour will ensure both that individuals and the country are well placed to seize the opportunities presented as we move out of recession. Building Britain’s Future sets out how Labour will put Britain’s economy back on track, continue to improve schools, hospitals, policing and our national infrastructure and clean up politics. Labour's Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, said: “In this plan for Building Britain’s Future we are determined to take forward the progressive reforms of the last decade. "Our task after three terms in office is not merely to defend Britain’s achievements over the last decade but to work even harder so as to meet new challenges with the same sense of conviction.” Read more about Building Britain's Future here >>>...

| We will uphold the highest standards of integrity - Gordon Brown |
Gordon Brown MP, Prime Minister and Leader of the Labour Party, today pledged Labour candidates to the highest standards of integrity, accountability, and prudence with public money. 100 of Labour's young candidates and activists joined Gordon Brown at Labour HQ to sign up to an eight point promise that they will put the public's interest first. Gordon Brown said: "The first thing we've got to do is to clean up politics once and for all. We've got to make sure that people see that their Members of Parliament and those who seek to represent them are acting in the public interest and not in their self interest. "We've got to make sure that people see that their politicians are in it not for what they can get, but for what they can give. That's why today we promise that we will uphold the highest standards of integrity, we promise that there will be transparency in everything we do, we promise that we will report to our constituents and do so as regularly as possible. Report not only to our own party but to all sections of the community in our constituencies so they can raise their concerns with us and we can be true and honoured servants of the people of this country. "I believe that our pledge to clean up politics, complemented by the new Parliamentary Standards authority that Harriet Harman is introducing, complemented by the new code of conduct for MPs and complemented by the review...

| From Euro scepticism to Euro extremism |
David Miliband MP, Labour's Foreign Secretary, commenting on the Tories' new European group, said: "With the current global economic and political circumstances, it is more vital than ever that Britain remains at the heart of Europe. The Conservatives under David Cameron's leadership have dragged themselves from Euro scepticism to Euro extremism. "By removing the Conservatives from other mainstream centre-right parties in Europe, David Cameron has isolated his party and potentially this country when we need influence to deliver on the issues that matter for Britain today."...

| Labour help for struggling homeowners |
Labour’s Housing Minister, John Healey, has announced extra help for families facing repossession of their home by doubling extra funding for free, on-the-spot legal advice in courts The announcement comes on the same day that the Council of Mortgage Lenders revised their 2009 repossessions forecast downwards by 10,000. Labour’s Housing Minister, John Healey, said: "It is real backstop help for those closest to the point of losing their home. In four out of five cases, the court desk advisers stop immediate repossession or eviction. Over the last year we've seen this work to help people keep their homes, so I'm doubling the extra money to support this service to £1.5million." "I think these figures show that help we're trying to give families at every step of the way is helping people avoid losing their home. "Our message is clear: people in difficulty should speak to their lender as we have strengthened protections for homeowners. Lenders can only repossess homes as a last resort. If a solution can't be found then seek free independent advice. "These additional funds come on top of a range of schemes Labour has put in place to support homeowners facing financial difficulty. We are taking action to support homeowners through the downturn, and have put in place a £1 billion package of support for homeowners and first time buyers, such as the Homeowner Mortgage Support Scheme which provides extra protection for families who suffer a temporary fall in income."...
