Well see i don t think it is factually incorrect.
Both increased rates, to some extend. Both have not done enough. The labour party has campaigned on not doing anything else for beneficiaries and got voted in on this promise among others – those dear cross over fiscal conservatives votes came in handy winning an all out majority..
So yes, in my personal opinion, they are both the same when it comes to increasing the benefits of all beneficiaries to such an extend that it would be at the very lest 480.00 per week (covid relieve for full timer after tax). Missing in action and hiding behind meaningless feel good rethoric.
Siobhan Baillie The Stroud MP s weekly column. I had the pleasure last week of hosting a web event for local businesses to learn about exporting alongside Gloucester MP Richard Graham. I am part of the Department of International Trade’s (DIT) Parliamentary Export Programme, which aims to encourage companies to export and to help them gain access to the comprehensive support DIT can offer. The work DIT can do to get people trading across the globe is quite amazing and little known, although I hope to change that. Just a few highlights of the support available include a free Export Academy to give small and micro businesses export know how, the Internationalisation Fund, which offers funding to help small businesses export and trade missions in many countries to assist on the ground.

Last week the government announced that it was applying to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership or CPTPP.
The trading group circles the Pacific with 11 members, including major economies like Japan, Mexico and Australia, and the UK’s trade with it already stands at over £100 billion.
The cabinet’s current rising star, international trade secretary Elizabeth Truss, said that membership would “deepen our ties with some of the fastest-growing markets in the world”, and the decision has been appropriately lauded.

Smooth transition, economic stimulus, stronger strategic partnerships and deeper international engagement should be high on Vietnam’s post Party Congress agenda, experts say.
Vietnam is in pole position for implementing this agenda at a fast clip, they add.
On February 1, the 13th Party Congress closed in Hanoi. The Communist Party Central Committee elected Nguyen Phu Trong, 77, for his third five-year term as Party chief.
