Of course the Tories are cutting the wrong things but with a National Debt of £4.8 trillion, cuts must be made and he will not tell us what should be cut.
There was an interesting little piece in today’s Evening Standard about this. It was an account of an interview with Evan Davis and Ed Milliband. Apparently, after a struggle Mr Davis finally got him to admit that there was only £80 billion difference in the cuts planned by Labour and the present cuts being made by the Coalition.

All this Labour fuss about such a small amount! Our membership fee for the EU is £6.7 billion. If we opted for UK Home Rule the budget deficit would be significantly reduced by not having to pay the membership fee and there would be even greater savings from the end of EU regulations. Former EU Trade Commissioner, Peter Mandelson reckons that the regulations cost us 4% of GDP.
