The membership of Cornwall Labour Party are united in bearing their part in the great groundswell of sorrow and admiration evoked from many quarters by the death of Michael Foot. We do so not least because he was, in two important senses, one of our own. Firstly, he belonged and his many and welcome forays west of the Tamar were always in some measure a coming home. Still more importantly, he understood and gave new meaning to older local traditions of radicalism and mutual solidarity, discerning early in life that the world could be changed to the benefit of those most needing it only through a humane and democratic socialism - humane and democratic because socialist; socialist because humane and democratic. We need no reminding that we have not got there yet, but Michael's life and example will stand as our reminder that the work - hi swork and ours and that of all who lend themselves to it - goes on.

Cornwall's Lib Dem MPs should explain why their party's promises of £71 million in savings at Cornwall Council have proved to be as much rubbish as the county's growing waste mountain, says Jude Robinson, Labour candidate in Camborne, Redruth & Hayle.

Government funding for Cornwall is still rising above inflation but we will not benefit because money has been squandered by the Council. "The LIb Dem MPs lobbied for the change to Unitary and their councillors promised £71 million savings. Of this, they said £29 million would...
- COUNCIL CUTS ARE TORY CHOICE
The job cuts proposed at Cornwall Council are the choice of the Tory, Independent and Mebyon Kernow alliance, not the result of a cut in government funding, says Jude Robinson, Parliamentary candidate for Camborne, Redruth & Hayle, speaking on behalf of Cornwall Labour Party.
"Cornwall is getting a 4.5% increase in grant this year from the Labour government. That is more than £9 million more, it is above inflation and it is again amongst the highest increases in the country.
"Listening to the Tory 'spin', people get the impression the cuts are caused by government but the opposite is true.
