Comments on: Honeyball’s Weekly Round-Up 2013/04/08/honeyballs-weekly-round-up-95/ London MEP European Parliament Tue, 01 Mar 2016 16:59:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Martin 2013/04/08/honeyballs-weekly-round-up-95/#comment-12843 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 13:45:16 +0000 ?p=20451#comment-12843 I am glad to hear about Ed’s encounter eith the ‘People’.

I think there might be the time for a ‘Gaitskell moment’. This was over Suez in 1956, where Gaitskell stood up for his beliefs, even though Eden’s Suez adventure had public support.

I think Ed should take such a stand over the welfare cuts: we still have a safety net, not least for the victims of Osbourne’s multiple dips. And also, the benefit cuts, not least among ATOS victims, will kill more people than the six killed by the Philpott killers.

[The other Gaitskell moment was his scepticism over the EEC… perhaps some other time… ;]
