The Think-Tank, Policy Exchange favourite of David Cameron
was seen at the Labour Party Conference today delivering it message on "Shirkers
or Workers". Its excuse well it wants to “Shape the 2015 Manifesto” and it doesn`t care who
does it, as next week they at the conservative party conference.
At the event organised by the Policy Exchange it was attended by Labour and trade union representatives, with Liam Byrne MP, Shadow Work & Pensions Secretary who was one of the speakers.
For the rest of this snippet of news you’re going to have to let your imagination take over as I can’t find any reports on it. Personally I would have liked to have been a fly on the wall to any discussions between Byrne and Matthew Oakley who recently took up the position of doing a review on sanctions for IDS. From what I know of both they would seem to share a similar attitude towards the unemployed (Shirkers).
Shirking or Working: Where next for Welfare Reform? (Labour Conference)
CHAIR: Jackie Long, Social Affairs Editor, Channel 4 News
SPEAKERS:
Rt Hon Liam Byrne MP, Shadow Work & Pensions Secretary
Matthew Oakley, Head of Economics & Social Policy, Policy Exchange
Alison Park, Head of Society and Social Change, NatCen
Nicola Smith, Head of Economics and Social Affairs Department, TUC
