Government policy is hitting businesses and causing huge numbers to fail across the South East.
&#160;
The latest figures published by Equifax, a key credit rating agency, show a 27% year on year increase in business failures in the South East.
&#160;
This follows hot on the heels of reports which showed UK economic growth in the last nine months was zero and that unemployment had hit 2.57million – the highest figure since 1994.
&#160;
Peter Skinner MEP, a Labour Economic spokesman in the European Parliament:
“It is deeply worrying that business failures are up by more ...]]></description>

“Ban live exports” was the strong message from South East Euro MP Peter Skinner and local campaigners after a meeting with national animal welfare charity Compassion in World Farming.
After years of falling live exports numbers are on the rise again. Last year the number of animals exported from Great Britain had dropped to 4000 sheep and no calves.  But this year over 10,000 sheep, calves, pigs and goats calves had been exported already. 
&#160;
In response a campaign has been launched to fight the exports. Peter Skinner MEP recently hosted a ...]]></description>

Euro MP Peter Skinner is calling for a national and regional economic growth plan as UK unemployment hits record levels and starts to rise again in the South East.
It was announced yesterday that UK unemployment is up 80,000 and has hit 2.51million – the highest level for  20 years. The picture isn’t much better in the South East. After six months of falling unemployment the figure has started to creep up again and now stands at 256,000 with most of the increase accounted for by the rise in unemployed ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a senior member of both the European Parliament&#8217;s ECON committee and the Delegation for Relations with the United States, I take a very close interest in the issue of convergence of regulation between the EU and US, particularly in the area of financial services.
Since the  high-level commitments made by leaders at the G20 (photo, below), the task of overhauling the financial regulatory architecture in both the EU and US has fallen to lawmakers such as myself, my colleagues in the European Parliament, national governments and our equivalents in Congress.  We ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On the 2nd of February I was very happy to meet representatives from the Unite trade union, of which I am a member. Among their number was Derek Simpson (pictured), General Secretary of the union, and several high level representatives.
Addressing a meeting of the European Parliamentary Labour Party, Simpson and his colleagues thanked the Labour MEPs for their hard work on a number of key workers&#8217; rights issues, and raised a number of key issues which they asked for support from the MEPs going forward.
One was related to rulings by ...]]></description>
