                           <description><![CDATA[Press Release 2nd Feb 2010 IW COUNCIL TELL LABOUR PARLIAMENTARY CANDIDATE - STAND DOWN OR RESIGN In an astonishing attack on his civil liberties IW Council employee and Unison Branch Secretary MARK CHIVERTON has been told to resign as Labour's Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for this year's General Election or resign his employment. Despite having no similar problem with this role (which he undertakes in his personal time) when he was the parliamentary candidate in 2005, the Council's senior management has told him there is a conflict of interest with his Unison role. Unlike very senior Council officers, Mark is not...]]></description>

                           <description><![CDATA[Press Release - 26th January 2010 "How on earth has the current IW Council budget blackhole doubled in just 4 months ? From &pound;3.5 million in December, to &pound;6.5 million in April. And why are the leadership no longer taking successful 'management action .....to reduce spend in identified pressure areas' ?" (Sources: Cabinet report 8.12.09, 'Update on the Overall Financial Position'). These are important questions being asked by Labour's Cllr Geoff Lumley in the light of a presentation to be made to the largely toothless, majority-controlled Overview &amp; Scrutiny Committee next Monday. See http://www.iwight.com/council/committees/Overview &amp; Scrutiny Committee/1-2-10/agenda.pdf Cllr Lumley who...]]></description>

A number of these commitments had been highlighted in a prominent County Press advertisement placed by the Lib Dem PPC as a New Year's message to readers. In announcing his Party's latest policy change Lib Dem Leader, Nick Clegg gave notice that longstanding...]]></description>

MARK CHIVERTON
LABOUR'S GENERAL ELECTION CANDIDATE
 
2010 is going to be a very busy and eventful year for the Isle of Wight. The main reason is that the Labour Party on the Island is expecting a General Election to be called at any time, probably sooner rather than later. Indications are that it could be as early as March.
Voters will face a stark choice. In spite of attempts by David Cameron to disguise the Conservatives' true nature, it is evident that the Tories are ready to embark on savage cuts...]]></description>
