"Meanwhile the bills rack up. You may remember the government found £2.7bn from nowhere to give us a tax cut this month. Now this package is costing £600m upfront and another billion is being raided from future spending plans. One day, somebody will have to pay the bills. I hear rumours that it's the regional development agencies that have had their budgets raided."Do follow the link from Nick Robinson's blog to see his interview with Alistair Darling; doesn't Alistair look uncomfortable and does he truly believe that "we are better placed" to get through this "difficult time" - or you can watch it here.
If you have a strong stomach you can watch Hazel Blears bleating about "families" here with a smug little "I've got a nice public sector final salary scheme pension and my mortgage paid for by the taxpayer" smile on her lips the whole time. That reminds me, I was going to have a "which Government minister makes you feel the most unwell when you see them interviewed?" poll on this blog, maybe I should do so...
