Ed Miliband's sick day secret

Last Saturday Ed Miliband was caught ducking out of an NHS rally to go to a football match between Hull City and Ipswich Town.

Miliband was due to attend the rally of health professionals and union activists as part of the "Drop The Bill" campaign against the NHS bill at 12PM.

Instead he called in sick, but was well enough to attend the Football match at 3pm. Worse, he was caught arriving at the match in a Rolls Royce. His paymasters, the health unions, were not happy.




The Mail reports that he was actually there after Hull City owner Assem Allam donated £100,000 to the Labour party at a secret meeting in February.

Assem Allam is said to have a personal fortune of more than £250 million - doesn't that make him one of Ed Miliband's predator capitalists? Allam is currently fighting Hull’s Labour controlled council over a couple of property development schemes, including one at Hull City FC’s KC Stadium. Labour politicians such as John Prescott are said to be helping him with the deals.




What the Mail have not picked up on yet is that Assem Allam actually goes by the title "Dr Assem Allam".

Dr Allam is a director of the Hull & East Yorkshire Medical Research Centre. This company operates as a charity called the 'Daisy Appeal' and has built an £8 million medical centre at Castle Hill Hospital. The local NHS trust rents the bottom floor of the centre while the company uses the top two floors to house medical researchers.

The company has just started building a new facility which will be equipped with Pet-CT scanning equipment. Their business plan calls for them to raise money and build the facility then install the scanning equipment so that they can offer services to the NHS. Once operational the service will be self funding (presumably via NHS contracts) and any profits will be reinvested.




Lets sum up:
- Ed Miliband dropped out of a NHS rally at short notice
- he lied about the reason for not attending
- he actually had a fun day watching football, including travelling in a Rolls Royce
- he was there as a guest of a very wealthy Labour donor
- that donor is a director of a company which supplies services to the NHS
- the Labour party claims to be against outside provision of NHS services (even though they introduced it), calling it "privatising the NHS"
- Labour politicians are said to be helping the donor get property deals through the local Labour council




Ed Miliband couldn't attend a rally against the NHS bill, which Labour claim allows the privatisation of the NHS, so that he could get a large donation from a director of a company which supplies services to the NHS.

Would you vote for this man?

Westminster crime report

Reports are coming in of a police investigation into a series of break-ins at the offices of prominent MPs.




Ed Miliband's office was burgled. Police first believed that all of his policy proposals had been taken, but it appears there weren't any to begin with.




Gordon Brown's Westminster office was burgled. The office had not been used for two years, but it seems that a few hundred broken mobile phones could be missing.




Ed Balls office was burgled. The thieves are believed to have died at the scene from all the poison, but police refuse to enter due to health and safety concerns to confirm this.




George Osborne's office was burgled. Police believe that the contents of the budget have been stolen, but luckily it has already been leaked to the press.




Theresa May's office was burgled. Police suspected of doing it.




Nick Clegg's office was burgled. Police are looking for someone with a mental health problem - who else would think there would be anything worth stealing?




Finally, and most disturbingly, Prime Minister David Camerons office was burgled. The thieves left behind a dead horses head. Police are interviewing former New International staff.
