Cameron’s workers v shirkers scam has at last exposed the Tory law of benefit cuts
The Guardian, 31/03/15
How much of a fiction that divide really is can be seen in a new report published by academics at the LSE. Is Welfare Reform Working? is based on two rounds of interviews, first in 2013 and again in 2014, with 200 people who live in the south-west of England, from Plymouth to Bath to just outside Chippenham - where Cameron launched his election campaign yesterday.

TalkTalk (Web), 08/04/2015, Unattributed
In all, thousands of patients are not being given sufficient pain relief and respite, the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) said. Terminally ill patients with illnesses other than cancer are also failing to receive help from specially-trained palliative care staff and less end-of-life care from GPs and district nurses.

Notably, on the same day, the Centre for Macroeconomics, which groups leading economists from Cambridge University, the London School of Economics, University College London, the Bank of England and the National Institute of Economic and Social Research, polled what it calls its 50 experts on whether the “austerity policies of the coalition government have had a positive effect on aggregate economic activity (employment and GDP) in the UK.”
