The shape of #austerity:
real terms reductions in both day-to-day spending & capital expenditure;
no system can survive without damage under such circumstances, and the #Tories (starting with Osborne) did not expect the #publicsector to;
this is an exercise in long-term wrecking, passed off as prudence.
And we can expect #JeremyHunt to carry out one last act of attrition in the budget - making the next Govt's job that much more difficult... its so clearly a scorched earth strategy!
