Remember how, when the Conservatives were in opposition, they said they were going to “scrap Labour’s failing employment schemes and create a single Work Programme for everyone who is unemployed …”?
No, it doesn’t seem like that now, with an even more confusing range of benefits – so, over at the TUC website, we’ve put up a guide to the 15 schemes that are running at present. Enjoy.

I need to start by saying I’m an OAP, so no longer in a union (previously I was a RCN member).
I find your blog very interesting and useful. Could I please ask you to put something up about tax havens, these are such dangerous entities everybody should know about them.
Many thanks, Kay
