We asked you on twitter what your thoughts were on today’s spending review. Here’s the best of them.
@djbentley liked – no new trident, £2bn extra for social care, pupil premium, no cuts for schools health real increases
@djbentley disliked Housing Cuts & rent changes not sure about removal of security of tenure Cuts to local govt were as expected
@djbentley Overall it needed 2b done Labour would have had to have do same tho they passed buck on defence, tuition fees and welfare reform
@allanmknox @djbentley not convinced it needed to be done like this. The imperative here is idealogical rather than fiscal.
@djbentley it means nothing in reality though. It’s just numbers until we find out exactly where the cuts are coming.
@djbentley Will “fuck the poor” do>
@blogpreston Bastard Tories and their LibDem toadies hitting the poorest hardest again.again
@blogpreston With cuts to defence contracts and higher education, Preston will be hit disproportionately hard by these announcements.
