So. Why are the 'cuts' being made?

How Gordon Brown wasted over one trillion pounds of our money.

New Labour’s tidal wave of extra spending masked a triple whammy of incompetence, cover-ups and cuts.
Over just 11 years of its tenure, the Government boosted public spending by more than a trillion pounds – £1,229,100,000,000 – of taxpayers’ money. That’s over £50,000 for every household in Britain.

So what did they achieve? Effective and responsive public services that are the envy of the world? Or the creation of a vast, self-serving bureaucracy that has presided over the greatest waste of money in British history?

In his explosive book, 'Squandered', David Craig reveals the tragi-comic truth of how New Labour’s years of mismanagement led to a bureaucratisation of Britain that has squandered almost unimaginable amounts of our money and rewarded the man responsible with the keys to Number 10 - now fortunately wrested from his misguided grasp.
