What was more interesting than the comments from (Sir) Nick Harvey was the implication from Danny Alexander that the 2013 Spending Review has been binned, and that the Coalition (in practice Cameron, Clegg, Osborne and Alexander) will agree £16bn in cuts/tax rises for the 2015-16 financial year, leaving the next Government a free hand to have a crash Spending Review in late 2015
before the next SDSR.
This at least means how much*/little* cash there will be when the SDSR process starts....
