Very good piece in the Times as well today about the shortcomings in the Tory "efficiency savings" mantra. Anyone who has worked for the public sector as a contractor will be aware of how very unlikely it is that savings can easily be made in the recalcitrant public sector without a terrifying struggle against vested interests, including many commercial vested interests. It won't be easy and the Tories should stop making it sound as though it will be.

Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick!
That's just a wax figure. Stop dusting it and get over here!
A few finishing touches, a quick final polish and - shazzam - the Neo-Liberal Tory Mark II Labour Pretender is once more on the loose.
@Jimmy and DL. How about this caption. Mandy says "take it off the dropping completely, I didn't realise that little bird hated me so much"
Isn't he as fake as the latest missing link discovery?
Press harder and Roboliar will activate.
"Is it Boots No 7?"
Sorry m'Lord, the turd polish doesnt seem to be working.
Only if it's Badger

Archaeologists have uncovered astonishing evidence that 21st century politicians were incapable of telling the truth.
Make up artist: "If a picture paints a thousand words
Then why can't I paint you
The turds will never show
The you I've come to know..."

Excuse O/T extra but there's a new possible explanation for Foy...

The front page of The Times as a very unnerving photo.

Catch it while you can - the last time I saw someone pose like this he was wearing long johns in a Littlewoods catalogue.
Mandleson: "I want to look more honest."
Plastic surgeon: "Well, I could take your second face off."
What about something biblical?
Such as: "Removing the plank in your own eye before the mote in others"?
