Cure worse than disease?
Guardian: Spending cuts
Like all sensible people, I hope that David Cameron and George Osborne know what they are doing when they set out to chill our collective spine as they do in all the newspapers this morning about the scale of the coming cuts to public expenditure.
It was a warm-up for the PM's big "everyone's life is going to change" speech today.
But like many sensible people I have my doubts about the wisdom of this carefully choreographed exercise ahead of the chancellor's 22 June budget. If they do what they say – I am still hoping that they don't meant it – the cure could be a bit like applying leeches to 18th century patients: worse than the disease.
