David Cameron: We need a radical redistribution of power

Laura Sandys press release

http://www.conservatives.com/News/Speeches/2009/05/David_Cameron_Fixing_Broken_Politics.aspx
I urge you to read this speech by David Cameron, addressing the expenses issue and trust in MPs, but going much further and laying out a new way of government, a reinvigorated Parliament with the people at the heart of our democracy.

As a member of the Democracy Taskforce that published several reports over the last few years on reforming Government and Parliament it was very good to see many of our proposals at the heart of David’s speech.

He warned that people feel "increasingly powerless" and "at the mercy of powerful elites that preside over them" – and outlined plans for a "massive, sweeping, radical redistribution of power”:

"From the state to citizens; from the government to parliament; from Whitehall to communities. From Brussels to Britain; from judges to the people; from bureaucracy to democracy."

He promised a Conservative Government would "replace bureaucratic accountability with democratic accountability" with local control over schools, housing and policing and more elected mayors.

He pledged to cut the number of MPs, publish all parliamentary information online in an open-source format, and curb the power of whips in parliament and spin doctors in the government.

The number of people that I know in Thanet – mothers, fathers, social workers, small business people, the retired - their views need to be respected. Everyone is part of the solution – with support and decisions from the community we as a country can succeed.

Thanet Tories call for General Election

Laura Sandys press release

Give the people their say to restore trust in Parliament

Sign petition to call for an election

Roger Gale and Laura Sandys are calling for Parliament to be dissolved and for a general election to be held and are asking people of all political persuasions to support a petition that urges Gordon Brown to dissolve Parliament and give the electorate a say immediately about the future of their elected representatives.

“This call for an election is not a partisan request. It is about restoring the trust and dignity that the Mother of all Parliament’s must recapture and it is only through a general election that Parliament will be able to address the significant troubles that our democracy and country face with the confidence of the people,” says South Thanet`s Conservative, Laura Sandys . "I was a member of the Democracy Taskforce set up by David Cameron over two years ago that reported that we needed wholesale change in the system ages ago."

“This is not about party politics – this is about our British Democracy. This current Parliament no longer has the confidence of the public. We need to put every sitting MP and our records to the people,” says North Thanet`s MP, Roger Gale.
David Cameron has said “This political crisis has been caused by the politicians, so I don't think the politicians alone can solve it. The public have got to be involved.”

The Petition states that …

We, the undersigned, believe that the best way to sort out the problems facing Britain and to restore trust in our political system is for a dissolution of Parliament and a general election so that people can pass their verdict on MPs’ behaviour at the ballot box.

Small Businesses Squeezed

Laura Sandys press release

Would I set up a Small Business Again?

I founded a small company in the early 90s. It was fun to run. We had great staff. We had a strong team which provided our customers with a quality service that delivered success. Then in 2000, I sold the firm. Was it for a quieter life? Hardly that, as I left business to enter politics. But, I look back on that time with tremendous satisfaction and I have every sympathy and enormous admiration for the owners and staff of the small and medium enterprises that make up around 99% of all British companies.

Closer to home, I have had a lot of conversations recently with Thanet businesses and I am hearing a lamentable story from most of them. Of course, trading is difficult; costs are rising and customers for products and services are hard to find. But, what seems to exasperate businesses the most is not the recession itself or the considerable sacrifices they are obliged to make. What drives these business up the wall, and sadly all too frequently to the wall, is the government continually adding to their problems day after day after day.

Employers have now become arms of government, filling out endless forms, administering government regulations and spending countless hours dealing with government officials when all they want to do is to get on with running their companies. One local small firm involved in light assembly is obliged to receive 8 government inspector visits every year and fill out 12 very different and very detailed government forms.

We know from the government’s own Impact Assessments that the burden of new regulations inflicted on British business since 1997 is a staggering £78.16bn. When I was running a business, I used to do all my own books; VAT, outline tax returns, PAYE and so on. It was hard but manageable. The tax handbook then had 4,555 pages. Today after 12 years of Gordon Brown Budgets, it is over 9,000 pages long.

Few people start a small business with the sole objective of making shed loads of money. They establish a company to have something that they can call their own, to be free to follow their dream and to make a living that delivers something extra for their families. But the glum legacy of Gordon Brown’s administration is that profits have been squeezed, liabilities have been increased, costs have soared and the fun has gone out of the window.

Bring back this country of shop-keepers, small business people and entrepreneurs who bring us jobs, create wealth and provide a rewarding workplace. This country was built by the owners and workforces of small businesses and we need to liberate them from government so that they get on with what they do best. We need a government that enables before it enforces. We want Ministers that value people before their pet policies. We must have an administration that creates a climate for small businesses to flourish and hard work to be rewarded. Perhaps then and only then will we be able to return to a happier workplace that is richer in every sense of the word.

A Message from Daniel Hannan – Our Voice In Europe…

Laura Sandys press release

“On 4 June, many of us will have our first opportunity to register our view of Gordon Brown. Do we think that he is governing in the interests of the country as a whole? Are we content with the level of debt he is heaping on our children? Was he right to cancel the promised referendum on the European constitution?

But let’s not be negative about this. There are positive reasons to vote, too. Kent is perhaps the most successful county council in England, delivering excellent services while keeping rates down – despite Labour’s redirection of resources to its client councils in the North. And the Conservatives have a team of patriotic and determined Euro-candidates who will provide the European Parliament with something it has not had before: an Official Opposition.

To see why this matters, have a look again at my You Tube statement about this Government:

http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/daniel_hannan/blog/2009/05/06/will_the_european_parliament_tolerate_an_official_opposition

Above all, voting Conservative on 4 June is the best possible prelude to electing Laura Sandys, the liveliest, friendliest and hardest working candidate in England. It will be her job to set about restoring a country that Labour has left indebted and dishonoured.”

Very best wishes

Daniel Hannan

County Election Campaign Launched

Laura Sandys press release

Vote for a Change on 4th June

We launched our County Election campaign yesterday with excellent candidates in the districts of Cliftonville, Broadstairs, Ramsgate and Sandwich and the villages.

· Cliftonville – Cllr Mike Jarvis and Cllr Chris Wells
· Broadstairs – Cllr Bob Bayford and Cllr Bill Hayton
· Ramsgate – Cllr John Kirby and Cllr Mike Taylor
· Sandwich and our villages– Cllr Leyland Ridings

If you would like to contact your candidate then please email me and i will put you in touch.
If you are not going to be at home on the 4th June do please apply for a postal vote from either Thanet District Council or Dover District Council

David Cameron launched the campaign yesterday and urged people to “Vote for Change” on 4th June

He accused Labour of “running our country into the ground” by “borrowing eye-watering amounts of money, presiding over social decline, (and) letting our politics descend into the quagmire.”

He highlighted the “national importance” of the local elections and urged voters to "give this weak, useless and spineless Government a message it won’t forget” on 4th June:

"With every Conservative vote, that message will be simple: 'Enough is enough. You’re the past.'"

He promised to instruct Conservative councillors, new and re-elected, to “go through the books, page by page, line by line, to see what savings you can make and do everything you can to get council tax down and help people in Labour’s Debt Crisis.”

"Of the councils with the top twenty highest ‘overall satisfaction’ ratings by residents, sixteen are Conservative and none are Labour or Liberal Democrat controlled. This shouldn’t surprise anyone."

The Gurkhas – to whom we owe so much

Laura Sandys press release

There are few more worthy people of our hospitality and our gratitude as the brave Gurkhas who have fought for our Queen and our country at the side of our armed forces.
It is both dishonourable and unjust not to give them the same benefits and treatment that we give all Commonwealth service men and women, and let them settle in the United Kingdom as valued citizens.

Those who know Gurkhas who have settled in Kent – many in Folkestone – know them to be extremely hard working, aspiring for their children in our local schools and make a very positive contribution to our communities.

Conservatives would allow pre-1997 Gurkhas to settle in this country. We would create a new tier in the Points-Based Immigration System to cover former service personnel.
Our shadow immigration Minister Kent MP Damien Green MP said. “"This is an insult to the Gurkhas. We have said all along that the Government should not try to challenge the courts and they would have done better to listen."

Let us hope that with all the publicity spearheaded by Joanna Lumley and all the political pressure that we are all putting on the Government, that they will reverse their decision. And if they do not have the honour to overturn their decision then maybe the courts will!

A new age of austerity - Delivering More for Less

Laura Sandys press release

David Cameron stressed Britain needs “a complete change of direction” to deal with the new “age of austerity” in his 2009 Spring Forum speech.

He said the “age of irresponsibility” was coming to an end and we need to take “incredibly tough decisions” on taxation, spending and borrowing to tackle Labour’s Debt Crisis.

“The alternative to dealing with the Debt Crisis now is mounting debt, higher interest rates and a weaker economy. Unless we deal with the debt crisis, we risk becoming once again the sick man of Europe.”

David made clear that the age of austerity means “delivering more for less” – and that requires four big changes for Government:
A return to traditional public spending control

A new culture of thrift in government, including a contractual obligation on all senior civil servants to save the taxpayer money

Curing our big social problems not just treating them, with our plans for school reform, welfare reform and strengthening families

Using technology to transform the way public services are delivered

And he promised to stand up for “responsibility and thrift”:

“Yes, if we win the next election, we may not see the full fruits of our labours in the lifetime of our government. But if we stick together and tackle this crisis our children and grandchildren will thanks us for what we did for them and for our country.”

The Budget

Laura Sandys press release,

The Chancellor described the worst recession, fastest rising unemployment, and the worst public finances since the War, but could not describe a credible solution.


On the Government’s figures:
- Over the next two years the Government will borrow £348bn - more than all governments up to 1997
- We will be borrowing £703bn over the next five years
- The national debt will double again to £1.4trillion
- Every baby will now be born owing £22,500
- Interest costs have risen again to £43bn a year – more than the schools budget.
- IMF say our budget deficit will be the worst in the G20 next year – 11% of GDP compared to 9% in United States


Britain cannot afford another five years of Labour's economic incompetence.
- Labour's answer is tax hikes on the many
- On average we have £1000 tax rises per family between now and 2012. £310 tax rise on fuel
- Unemployment one million higher in 2010 from the Government’s last forecast
- Labour cuts planned for AFTER the next election

o £2.3bn off the NHS capital budget next year
o £0.6bn off the Schools department capital budget next year
o £0.3bn off Universities and Skills capital budget next year

- In reaction long term interest rates on Government debt rose and the pound fell.

The CBI have said the Budget takes “big risks”. Richard Lambert said: “The key question for this Budget was whether it set out a credible and rigorous path for restoring the public finances to health. The CBI’s preliminary judgement must be that it does not.”


Conservatives offer a change from an economy built on debt to an economy that saves and invests

- Conservatives favour spending restraint over tax rises
- We would start that spending restraint now to pay for the recession measures and start reducing borrowing in the recovery from 2010
- Our priority is to avoid Labour's tax rises that affect the many not the few, like the increase in National Insurance which is a tax on jobs

BUDGET PETITION FOR SAVERS

Laura Sandys press release

Sandwich, Ramsgate and Broadstairs Speak Out

At high street events across the South Thanet Constituency, we have received hundreds of signatures in support of the Conservative call to give savers a tax break!
“We are proposing the basic rate tax payers should not pay any tax on their savings and that pensioners personal allowances should be raised. Currently there is no incentive to support those who save and with interest rates low, incomes for those who have saved for a rainy day is being slashed.” Said Laura Sandys, Conservative Parliamentary Candidate for South Thanet and Sandwich.

We hope that the Government will listen to our proposals and that the Budget will deliver much needed respite for our local savers and pensioners.

Conservative Housing Policy Announced

Laura Sandys press release

Social Mobility, Equality of Opportunity and Renewed Pride in our Neighbourhoods at the Heart of Conservative Housing Policy
Also More Local Democracy and an End to Garden Grabbing


Laura Sandys, Conservative Candidate for South Thanet and Sandwich welcomes plans for a radical overhaul of housing policy.

Under new Conservative proposals, tenants in social housing across Thanet and Dover and Deal are to be offered the chance of genuine social mobility and equality of opportunity. Pride will be restored to local neighbourhoods, helping address anti-social behaviour and encourage social responsibility. Local homes will be built for local people, with the community – not bureaucrats in Whitehall – having the final say on the homes they want.

This comes as the latest analysis shows as the average house in Thanet and Dover costs £185,00 and £206,000 respectively, compared to average earnings of £27,800 and £28,900. This means that the average house is 6.7% times average earnings in Thanet and 7.1% times average earnings in Sandwich and our villages.

The detailed proposals include:
· Rewards for good behaviour: Offering tenants with a record of five years’ good tenant behaviour a 10% equity share in their social rented property, which can be cashed in when they want to move up the housing ladder. This will give tenants a direct financial stake in the state of their neighbourhood, and reward law-abiding citizens who pay their rent on time, keep their garden tidy, and ensure their children stay out of trouble. By contrast, Labour policies reinforce and reward welfare dependency.
· Cutting waiting lists: Relaxing the rules that prevent thousands of habitable empty properties being used to house those on local authority waiting lists.
· Local Housing Trusts: Allowing villages and towns to create entirely new community-led bodies with planning powers to develop local homes for local people, provided there is strong community backing. Affordable homes built by Local Housing Trusts will remain in local ownership in perpetuity, ensuring that future generations can benefit.
· More family homes and stopping garden grabbing: Reversing the classification of gardens as brownfield land, and allowing councils to prevent over-development of neighbourhoods and stop 'garden grabbing', which has resulted in a glut of flats, the demolition of suburban family homes and concreting over of their gardens.
· Incentives not top-down targets: Scrapping regional planning, and enabling councils to revise their current local plans to protect Green Belt land and prevent the unwanted imposition of so-called eco-towns. Instead, councils will keep more of the proceeds of new house building from council tax receipts, giving incentives to support new sustainable development.

Laura said:
“We need social housing which promotes opportunity and social mobility, rather than reinforcing welfare dependency. We must also champion the vulnerable and release more housing stock for those on our waiting lists.

“These proposals will reward the socially responsible citizens who pay their rent on time and keep their kids in check, and help restore a sense of pride to all our neighbourhoods.”

DO YOU WANT YOUR CHILDREN’S DETAILS ON A DATABASE?

Laura Sandys press release

The Conservative Party has fought against the Government’s plans to put every child’s details on a central database called ContactPoint.

We have described ContactPoint as ‘the Government’s latest expensive database disaster waiting to happen’. We strongly opposed its creation during the passage of the Children Act and voted against it at all stages. We challenged its usefulness as a child protection measure and instead advocated a smaller central ‘signposting’ database concentrated on genuinely vulnerable children such as those in care or on the At Risk Register rather than diluting the effort across eleven million children, the majority of whom will never need to come into contact with social workers for example.

At last year’s Party Conference Michael Gove confirmed that the next Conservative Government will scrap ContactPoint and that remains our position today.

The implementation of ContactPoint has already been delayed several times and was the subject of a review into its security after we questioned its integrity following the loss of the Child Tax Credit discs, several database scandals ago. There were reports in The Times and Telegraph suggesting that implementation has again been ‘slowed’ following further problems that could compromise the identity of adopted children. This comes as no surprise.

In the meantime parents are advised to contact their local authorities and ask for their children’s details to be ‘shielded’ - a device for supposedly affording additional security to certain categories of vulnerable children and those of celebrities and others in public office.

An Open Letter from David Cameron

Laura Sandys press release

believe this week has marked a defining moment in this economic crisis. For Mervyn King, the Governor of the Bank of England, to come out and say Gordon Brown is wrong to be pursuing a second fiscal stimulus - because the country simply cannot afford it - is an exceptional turn of events. Gordon Brown harangued us for being isolated when we repeatedly said the country could not afford this extra debt. Now it turns out we were right.

I kicked off the week by replying to Gordon Brown's statement on Europe - which brings me on to Dan Hannan's brilliant response



to Gordon Brown in the European Parliament. It was so effective and shows the growing power of the internet over TV.

On Tuesday I was at the London Stock Exchange to make the point that the Conservative Party will be the party of law and order in the City. I then completed my 26th Cameron Direct in Milton Keynes, and the 27th in Fleetwood, Lancashire. I love doing these events: they are an essential reminder that what goes on in the Westminster bubble is rarely what is on the minds of ordinary people.

Getting out of Westminster has been a key theme to the week. Gordon Brown's approach to this may be getting on a plane and heading for Chile - but mine is to send the Shadow Cabinet round the country to launch our petition calling on Gordon Brown to implement our tax cut for savers and pensioners.

Have a good weekend

Conservative Policy For Charities

Laura Sandys press release

More Secured Funding, More Flexibility and More Control
Conservative Policies for the Voluntary Sector

At a meeting of Thanet’s voluntary groups, Nick Hurd MP, Shadow Minister for Charities and the Voluntary Sector, shared with the group the Conservative policy to support charities and volunteers.

“We must support our voluntary sector more effectively by listening to them about the support they need. Today charities are expected to look and act more like Government departments than the community based volunteering organisations that they were set up to be. We are proposing clear policies on providing 3 year funding contracts to give the sector much greater certainty for funds. We want to ensure that grants measure results not tick box processes from Whitehall and we want to ensure that voluntary groups have the freedoms to serve the community as they see fit.” Said Nick Hurd at the meeting in Ramsgate.

“I was thrilled that Nick was able to come and meet with the very strong voluntary sector that we have in Thanet and know that his thoughts and future policies will be informed by what he heard”, said Laura Sandys Conservative Parliamentary candidate for South Thanet.

If you have any thoughts on how Conservative policy could support the voluntary sector more effectively please do email on laura@telllaura.org.uk so that your ideas and your thoughts can make a difference to Conservative policy. for the full White Paper for Charities and Voluntary Groups please also email me on laura@telllaura.org.uk

Back to the Future – Destination History

Laura Sandys press release,

Last week we launched Destination History, an important initiative to place history at the heart of our non-seasonal marketing for visitors to Thanet and Sandwich. With over 40 organisations, tourist businesses and event organisers attending, the determination and passion to further promote and enhance our unique history in Thanet and Sandwich turned into some very positive action points that the group is going to take forward.

“I have always been amazed at the wonderful architecture, the history around every corner, our wars and our invasions. We have truly been at the front line of our country’s history – and we have a great story to tell visitors – whatever era or theme of history that they are interested in. This initiative will pull together all the groups that already do so much to promote our history and we were very pleased that Visit Thanet and Visit Kent will work with us to achieve our goals.

If we can attract an increase in non-seasonal visitors who are higher margin we will be able to create jobs in our low season, keep our local businesses working throughout the year and encourage more people to use our historic assets as part of our economic development.”
We will be developing historic maps, website pdf for people to upload to their sites, marketing ideas and some tourist packages. Visit Thanet will also be developing a website presence to promote our historical package.

If anyone would like to be put on our Destination History emailing list then please do contact me at laura@sandys.org.uk and I will keep you up to date with meetings and actions that we are taking to place our past at the heart of our future.

Loan Sharks taken seriously - at last!

Laura Sandys press release

“ I have been campaiging on debt and the human impact on debt since December 2006. In Thanet people have been prayed on by loan sharks and some people were being pushed into paying off their debts “in kind” and I have been calling for government action ever since" says Laura Sandys. "These criminal acts were happening to the most vulnerable on our door step,”

" While the Government is now waking up to this and putting in place help lines, the intimidation of those who are most under threat has been taking place for years without any action taken in Thanet and Sandwich by the Government to help them fight the predatory threat of illegal loan sharks.

I am pleased that the Government has now reacted to what is happening on the streets of our towns and urge anyone approached by an illegal loan shark or already in debt to one to call the national hotline number 0300 555 2222.

Less Tax and Less Paperwork for small businesses

Laura Sandys press release

The Conservatives has pledged to cut taxes and paperwork for small shops and small firms to help them survive the recession.

The Shadow Communities & Local Government Secretary promised a Conservative Government would ensure small business rate relief was applied automatically to firms, rather than businesses having to claim it themselves.

Currently, firms have to fill out time-consuming paperwork to claim rate relief, despite the fact that Whitehall’s tax inspectors know precisely which firms would be eligible. The Local Government Association has estimated that less than half of the 870,000 firms eligible for the rebate have claimed the money.

“Gordon Brown is making it difficult for small firms to claim the tax relief to which they are entitled. He is compounding their misery by finding new ways to drive up business rates by stealth.”

And she promised, “Conservatives would ensure that small firms automatically receive rate relief, cutting their paperwork and their tax bills and giving many of them a fighting chance to stay afloat (during the recession).”

The Conservative MP, Peter Luff, has put forward a Private Members' Bill to get rate relief applied automatically for small firms.

Taking a Liberty

Laura Sandys press release

South Thanet`s Tory, Laura Sandys, Chairman of Open Democracy, has this weekend hit out at the advancing State control over our everyday lives.

Speaking out at a national conference held in London, the Ramsgate resident said that the State was now interfering in more and more aspects of our private lives and eroding our civil liberties. Governments want to regulate our behaviour, our freedom of speech and now planning to monitor our every move through the introduction of Identity cards.

At the Convention for Modern Liberty Laura said “Hard fought freedoms that had placed this country as a beacon of Liberty around the world have been eroded year on year by this Government. From the petty misdemeanours that are now considered crimes through to the legislation passed under the umbrella of “security”, we have seen this country’s civil liberties change dramatically. Once lost freedoms are hard to retrieve but we need politicians who stand up to the creeping intrusion of the state and the public galvanised into fighting for their freedoms.” I am extremely proud that Anthony Barnett from open Democracy, of which I am chairman, was instrumental in organising the Convention."

Delegates from NO2ID, Liberty, the Conservative Party, and the Liberal Democrats questioned vigorously the erosion of civil liberties – the database society, the erosion of free speech, the surveillance society, the undermining of the trial system of justice and not least the implication that the Government has lost its abhorrence of torture.

"I believe that we need to place freedoms at the heart of our democracy and society. Fear and distrust is the result of the erosion of civil liberties and we see this today on the streets of Thanet where people are frightened to build communities as they feel that big brother is around the corner.


Party politics need to be put aside if we are to defend the freedoms that so many have fought so dearly for," said Laura.

Practical advice for Thanet and Sandwich’s homeowners as repossessions soar

Laura Sandys press release

Laura Sandys, South Thanet and Sandwich’s Conservative Candidate has launched a Repossession Advice Pack with practical advice for homeowners worried about meeting their mortgage repayments. “As an area that has been badly exposed from sub-prime lending we are particularly vulnerable to repossessions,” said Laura. “We need to provide as much support as possible to keep people in their homes and I hope that this advice pack will be helpful in supporting families during these difficult times.”

The Pack gives step-by-step advice to households who fear that they may not be able to keep up their monthly mortgage payments, and tells people how to avoid making their situation worse. It can be downloaded from http://tinyurl.com/housingadvice (PDF file).

This new Conservative initiative comes as the latest official Government statistics show a large increase in mortgage repossession orders being made by the courts – with 313 being issued across the country every single day.

“As the recession bites and the number of repossessions soar, there are thousands of people across Thanet and Sandwich who are worried about paying their mortgage. I hope this advice pack will provide them with some practical help and support.”
