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.
