It is clear that the new government has, like New Labour in 1997, come into office clutching a new language, with which they seek to use as a power to redefine a set of enduring and seemingly intransigent set of problems.
Tony Hawkhead on 12th July 2010
There is a very real risk that those with the least stand to lose most in the age of austerity. As the government itself has acknowledged, addressing this problem in the long term will need more than just applying better sticking plasters or creating a stronger safety net.

Perhaps we need a new name for this type of localism. Directed localism, maybe, or enforced localism. Or letting a thousand flowers wither.

All in all though, I like this consultative approach to public spending, it just needs to be braver and more radical in application. The more transparent spending decisions become the more carefully money will be spent.

Pickles, with his track record of taking a hatchet to public spending, is in the right place... I predict he will want to set an example to other departments and will not take up the option to defer cuts, but will implement them with minimum fuss, minimum delay.
