Tamzin Lightwater's unique take on the week

issue 26 September 2009

Monday

OMG! It’s all systems go on our Balls Containment Strategy. Thank goodness we had it ready and didn’t listen to those people, not naming any names (Lord M) who assured us Mr B would never stick his big square head above the parapet. He’s clearly in a different league to the Milibanana who never gave us any trouble. This is serious. Big Ed has not only entered the spending cuts race — but has had a blow-dry at Daniel Galvin. Dave v angry. Wants to know how many school staff we are going to cut and why we didn’t think of sacking teachers. Also, do we think Dave should grow his hair a bit? Change his parting again? This latter point is going to have to go to a full committee. Meanwhile, Tom is number-crunching to see if we can come up with a more draconian way of slashing education spending which is also Kinder and more Compassionate.
