One Notion Labour - don't you just love them and don't they just love you?
Fortunately One Notion Labour have distanced themselves from this crackpot idea by one of their policy guru type One Notion 'thinkers'.
"Parents should lose their child benefit if they refuse to immunise their children with the MMR jab, a senior Labour MP has suggested.
Families will have to prove their child’s vaccination records are up to date to qualify for handouts, said Jon Cruddas, who is leading the party’s policy review.
The MP for Dagenham & Rainham suggested the measure, which is already in place in Australia, could be a way to link behaviour with state benefits and services.
However, Labour rushed to dissociate itself from the idea last night, saying ‘it is not part of the policy review’."
