Total surprise!

But why have they? The government must know something we don't!

So an already under pressure treasury is getting much less tax. Also needing to spend much more on health and benefits.

They can't have saved much by canning free school meals?

So what is going to lose out ? The obvious answer we all thought was Defence - Maybe they are going to do a Gordon Brown and just keep borrowing!
