WHAT’S MISSING FROM TORY-LIB DEM COALITION’S MID-TERM REVIEW

• The Deficit Reduction section has no mention of the double-dip recession, or of the fact that the Government is now set to borrow £212 billion more than they originally planned – over £12,500 for every working household in the country.

• The Personal Taxation section has no mention of the cut in the 50p top rate of tax – a tax cut worth an average £107,500 to 8,000 people earning over £1 million a year.

• The Jobs and Welfare section has no mention of the strivers tax – it does not even try to defend the Government’s plan to cut the incomes of 7 million working families with a 1% cap on tax credits and benefits.

• The Crime and Policing section has no mention of cuts in police officer numbers – but we know that 6,800 frontline police officers have already been lost, with at least 15,000 police officers to go by 2015.

• The NHS section has no mention of the fact that nearly 6,000 nurses have been cut since the election. The promise in the original Coalition Agreement that “We will stop the top-down reorganisations of the NHS that have got in the way of patient care” has – unsurprisingly – been dropped. And so has the promise to stop the closure of A&E and maternity wards.

• The Energy and Climate Change section has no mention of action to tackle rising energy bills – even though David Cameron announced in October that the Government would legislate to ensure the lowest tariffs for customers, taking his own Energy Secretary by surprise.

• And there isn’t a Transport section at all, which will come as no surprise to Derby people who have seen this Government betray Derby's train making industry.
