  1. There's a new story you won't be hearing at this conference- or in the Left-wing press or the BBC.

    The devaststing new EU Financial Transactions Tax, rightly condemned by Nigel Farage as an "EU assault on London".

    80% of all Europe's financial transactions go through London (and most investment banks are based here) this tax is a direct assault on Britain.

    It could cost our economy £25 billion a year.

    It will damage Britain's status as the worlds leading financial centre outside Wall Street.

    The ECJ has thrown out Britain's challenge to the devastating EU tax.

    Now where does Blue Labour stand? With our Parliament against a Brussels tax raid on our economy or does it stand with the EU and against Britain?

    Come on Glasman, nows the time to speak up.

  2. No dog in the fight between the EU and some state within our state, with a veto on our legislation even though not subject to it, and which the Queen may not enter without special permission.

    To hell with the pair of them.

    And onwards towrds Blue Labour capture of the Council in the City. The start has been made. He is a stalwart.
