Default Help! What is this bug on my brassicas?

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help.... Our broccolli, kale, purple sprouting brocolli and sprouts are covered in tiny holes. I have researched on the internet and I do not think it is flea beetle. The bug appears to be a small cream aphid size... There are also areas of leaves where small maggot like createures are living in between the layers of leaves - is this leaf miner? I don't mind the holes in the brassica leaves but it is desimating the kale and the leaves are the bit we want to eat!! Hope someone can help.....

Can you post some pics to help identify these bugs?
