David James on Michael Howard and savings:

He said: ‘I want a big number.’ I said: ‘Give me some guidance.’ He said: ‘I would be really happy if we get to £30 billion.’ But we got to £36 billion and we had not broken out into a sweat. At that point he was absolutely ecstatic and he never wanted me to go on.”

*Sigh* In an Ideal Government there would be very little scope for savings. That position would be maintained by intense scrutiny based on openness. Wibbi…people seeking election could discuss how to do this best without being silenced?
