I had little opportunity yesterday to blog and I am certainly not going to apologise for it. This is a really busy time of year work-wise for me. This week my company is publishing four books. So if I am a little distracted, so be it.Iain Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03270146219458384372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-82756411451981653502009-09-17T10:01:35.564+01:002009-09-17T10:01:35.564+01:00It's so interesting to alternate between your ...It's so interesting to alternate between your broadcsting commitments and lists of top blogsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-82487338629739539382009-09-17T09:40:59.252+01:002009-09-17T09:40:59.252+01:00Iain, perhaps in your discussions tonight you can ...Iain, perhaps in your discussions tonight you can sort out the following questions concerning those leaked Treasury figures:<br /><br />1) Do the figures show that, under Labour plans, overall spending is to be kept constant?<br /><br />2) If so then will the Labour cuts be on non-social security spending (because benefit amounts are expected to rise due to unemployment rising etc)?<br /><br />3) The Conservatives are also proposing cuts. However are these cuts of the total overall spending? In other words, deeper cuts.<br /><br />So much for Brown's "Investment" - it is negative investment!Devil in the detailnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-36539764598606177402009-09-17T09:40:20.830+01:002009-09-17T09:40:20.830+01:00he truth about the Foreign Office
