More on Cuts

I was on the Stephen Nolan show on Five Live about the battle over cuts.

Labour's core will be much less likely that the rest of the public to believe that you can have significant cuts in public spending without damaging public services. Gordon Brown's speech to the TUC went down badly enough there: how will it have played in constituency Labour parties?
