First there was an event which incorporated some deliciously ironic innuendo about the Tories’ spending cuts. The PM lamented the fact that Jeremy Paxman didn’t press the Tory leader on claims that there is “too much” public spending in Northern Ireland and the North East, concluding that “there is no part of the United Kingdom that is safe from what the Conservative party would do.” And this from a government which hasn’t released a much-needed spending review – so we don’t have a clue where their cuts will fall.
