| Join with Labour to Save Our Sure Start |
Labour is today joining forces with families across England in a campaign to Save Our Sure Start children's centres from David Cameron's plans to cut their funding and prevent access to these valuable services for families on middle and modest incomes. Children's Secretary Ed Balls launched the campaign today as he welcomed the opening of the 3,500th Sure Start children's centre for parents and children across England. Families are invited to show how much they love their Sure Start centre at a new website www.saveoursurestart.com. The Tories would cut Sure Start from families on middle and modest incomes. Instead of the universal service Labour has created for all families, the Tories have said they would cut £200 million each year from the Sure Start budget - which could see one in five children's centres being forced to close. Labour's campaign is backed by ordinary families, children's champions and celebrity mums, including Arabella Weir, Jo Brand and actress Michelle Collins. Michelle Collins, celebrity Labour supporter and former EastEnders star said: "There's nothing more important than giving all children the best possible start in life. That's why Sure Start Children's Centres were set up, they have made life easier for millions of families and it would be a major step backwards to cut them now. That's why I'm encouraging everyone to sign up to www.saveoursurestart.com." Ed Balls MP, Labour's Children's Secretary said: "I'm proud to be supporting families across England who are today campaigning to save their Sure Start children's...

He was a natural fighter and a community leader." Prime Minister Gordon Brown said that he was "greatly saddened" by Ashok Kumar's death, mentioning that he was a "tenacious campaigner" and "a warm and incredibly generous man". He added: "Ashok was a hard-working constituency MP who took pride in representing the people of Middlesbrough as both a councillor and MP since 1987.

| It’s time for the Tories to come clean - Ed Balls |
Ed Balls MP, Labour’s Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families, is today urging people to take a long hard look at the Tories plans for schools. He is challenging the Tories to come clean on how they will pay for their two flagship schools policies – new ‘free market’ schools and a national ‘pupil premium’. Earlier today, Ed Balls set out to Parliament further details of funding for schools up to 2013, following the Pre-Budget Report announcement that funding for Labour’s frontline priorities will be protected, including schools, Sure Start and 16-19 education. Ed Balls MP said: “Labour’s Pre-Budget Report made clear that while there will be tough decisions to halve the deficit within four years, we will protect frontline funding for our priorities, including schools, Sure Start and 16-19 education. “But there is an unresolved conflict in the Conservatives’ plans for education: while George Osborne is applying a downward pressure to the budget for the Department for Children, Schools and Families, Michael Gove’s two flagship policies – new ‘free market’ schools and a national pupil premium – apply an upward pressure on costs. How can this circle be squared? “Michael Gove refuses to say but what is clear is that his options are limited: the costs of these two policies run into billions and those billions must come from cuts within the DCSF budget. The challenge being set to Michael Gove today is to identify what he intends to cut in order to fund his two flagship...

| Securing the recovery is essential - Gordon Brown |
Alongside a speech by Gordon Brown MP, Prime Minister and Leader of the Labour Party, on the economy, the Labour Party is today publishing A Future Fair for All: Securing the recovery, not putting it at risk. The document sets out the choice that Britain faces between growth and increasing prosperity with Labour, or a decade of austerity, low growth and low employment under the Tories. To read a copy please click here Gordon Brown said: "There is nothing pre-ordained or automatic about the upturn, either here or around the world. While we have come through the worst of this dreadful storm, the waters are still choppy. There are still real risks to the recovery. And we must be alive to them. "So the choices we will make in the coming months are just as important - and just as urgent - for families, jobs, mortgages and companies, large and small - as the difficult choices we made to protect them at the height of the storm. "We are at a turning point - a crossroads for our domestic economic recovery, where we have to choose now to maintain the stimulus until recovery is assured or cut it - and at a crossroads for the global economic governance that will shape the next decades for us and our children. "I believe that character is not about telling people what they want to hear but about telling them what they need to know. It is about having the courage to set...
