Cameron's private jet is another step towards a governing class cut off from the people

"Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down." - Oprah Winfrey   View this email in your browser Today we lead with a piece which looks at the news that David Cameron is to spend £10 million on a private jet to be used by himself and his ministers. It suggests the sheltered life of chauffeur-driven cars and private jets detach the governing class from those they govern. We also have a piece by Labour MPs Debbie Abrahams and Emily Thornberry on the government's back to work support. They say the recent report which linked 600 suicides to the Work Capability Assessment shows the system is fatally flawed. Elsewhere, we have an article which looks at how technology has transformed the way we engage with politics but warns that some people could be left behind.    Latest Articles     'Dave Force One' is another step towards a governing class cut off from the people   On Nov 19, 2015 12:06 pm Jeremy Corbyn and Boris Johnson still take public transport.
