Nick on the wonderful Westminster Hour explaining the inexplicable and accusing those who don't get it of "splitting hairs". Well at the risk of splitting hairs, my reading then is that £20 billion is first for reallocation and second for tax cuts. Please can we have some more meat on the Bones (excuse the pun!) - if we are going to have a bun fight over this I would really like to know where exactly it is we are aiming our buns.
Despite my differences with him on this issue I have to confess that Nick came across very well and if I was a little righty as opposed to a little lefty (something he has accused me of being before!) I would probably be dancing on the ceiling..........
He has promised to protect and enhance spending on education and other frontline services. He argued health was more complicated given our commitment to decentralise.
So, I await with mounting interest the debate next week.
