important to note that all the current headlines about NEETs, especially erroneously connecting their worklessness to PIP*, are coming out precisely as the call for evidence for the Timms Review of PIP has closed and the Review is about to take place. the government has also frequently used PR firms to seed press stories to prejudice public opinion ahead of policy changes.

bbc: henry zeffman: "green victory shows insurgent parties are here to stay". not really though, does it? it shows the greens are popular and "here to stay". labour support dropped enough to fall below reform's relatively low result - reform didn't surge. even when the greens win, bbc wants reform to win too.
