In an attempt to attack the Government this morning, the Conservatives confirmed that if elected they would cut public services by 10%.

Although they insist they wouldn’t cut NHS spending (Would they increase it in line with the massive deficit from 2011 announced today??), they did confirm that all other departments would be expected to make 10% cuts.

Whilst some of this may seem appropriate “careful” talk in times like these, but unless they are prepared to be more precise then they are acting wholly irresponsibly.

Where in Education would 10% be found, What cuts to defence, the Police, Local authorities, Transport?

The Conservatives are trying to respond to claims that they haven’t any policies by announcing little tasters that they hope will put the opposition on the back foot. The trouble is their “policies” don’t go anywhere. They have reduced policy announcements to sound bites!
