And I know – I haven’t mentioned the budget – but there is much coverage in the news today. I always find it interesting the day after when we have all had time to read the small print. In short though – nothing to narrow the widening equality gap between rich and poor and little on climate change action – the two great challenges we face. Perhaps that heralds the Brown style of leadership – too little and too late!
I’m waiting to see how the new leadership shapes up. There’s a big internal challenge before much more can be done in the areas where you want it: the public sector has to be brought up to scratch – and behind the scenes I sense that preparation is being made for that. Don’t you sense it, or have the LDs no antennae these days?
You might find the following version of the budget sort of funny. http://www.mediaplayer.telegraph.co.uk/?item=5D532667-B5EE-4EFC-81AF-301FEC672C66 I hope that you have enjoyed it.
