PM must stand firm and keep the two-child benefit cap – Welfare is already out of control
PM must resist the two-child benefit pressure 'UNSUSTAINABLE, indefensible and unfair.' Sir Keir Starmer was spot-on when he made his blunt assessment of Britain's grotesquely spiralling welfare bill back in March. 1 As it rockets towards £70billion a year by the end of this decade, we simply cannot afford to allow this crazed spending spree to go on. Yet many of his own MPs are deaf to common sense on this issue. Like leftie Employment Minister Alison McGovern, who believes those out of work should be able to turn down a job if they don't fancy it. As with other Labour rebels, she sees state handouts as the only answer to every problem. No doubt she will be among the MPs piling pressure on the PM to axe the two-child benefit cap this week after new figures showed a rapid increase in child poverty. The figures are shocking, but Sir Keir must stand firm and keep the cap. It stops parents claiming benefits for more than two children and lifting it would pile another £3.5billion on our already unmanageable welfare bill. What's more, it would award more handouts to 180,000 families in which nobody has a job. As Labour grandee Lord Blunkett points out, there is a limit to how far the state can go in child support. And in any case why should those who continue to work hard and pay taxes have to fork out even more for the children of those who don't? Vest-up jail guards ANOTHER day, another brutal prison attack. The shocking stabbing of a guard by a convict armed with a flick-knife at HMP Long Lartin is just the latest in a spate of violent incidents in Britain's out-of-control jails. How much longer can we sit on our hands while they are put at risk because they cannot protect themselves? The Tories' Shadow Home Secretary Robert Jenrick has called for guns to be available on-site in prisons. Such weapons might be justifiable in extreme cases such as riots. But guards come into daily contact with convicted murderers and terrorists. They must have the minimum they need to keep order safely. Those working in the most dangerous jails should immediately be issued with stab vests and tasers.

Britain's Got Talent in ‘fix row' as angry fans insist live final act was given ‘special treatment'
BRITAIN'S Got Talent was in the middle of a 'fix row' as angry fans insisted that a live final act was given 'special treatment'. BGT's finale is upon us and the finalists are putting their best foot forward to win over the final vote. 4 4 As tonight's show kicked off, Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and Bruno Tonioli took to the judges panel one last time. While they can't impact tonight's winner, they are still on hand to give their thoughts on the evening performances. However, angry fans of the show took to social media and shared their thoughts about an act that seemed to get special treatment. Magician Harry Moulding took to the stage again after winning a spot in the semi-final. And while he wowed the audience and judges, viewers thought that something wasn't fair. One disgruntled fan said: "10 minutes of sh**e. How come no other act gets that time. It's a big fix folks." Another added: "11 acts but some got more stage time than others! How can that be fair? "Young guitarist got half the time the magician got. Seems wrong to me." "Why does the magician get hours to perform while others are restricted by time and the magic is easy to explain," said a third fan. While another said: "It doesn't seem fair that some acts get ten times the screen time as others." BGT viewers insist the final has been 'ruined' for them as they slam detail of performances It's not the first time the magician has caused controversy because fans insisted they had worked out his semi-final trick. One wrote: "There were no tricks in that performance, every single aspect was clearly staged, no talent or skill involved in any of it." "It was a complete set up by the show pretending to be an original act from a magician. "I know the show takes the p*** a lot but come on, that was complete b******s." Another said: "His only trick was ensuring the judges read the desired card information. Everything else followed that." But a third said: "I mean. That literally is the act. All those types of magic acts are done that way." However, Harry has had the last laugh because the talented magician went on to win the whole show. He will receive a massive cash prize of £250,000, as well as the opportunity to perform at the Royal Variety Performance. 4
