The bigger the cuts, the bigger the team
One for the ironic statistics corner.
Count up the number of people in each of the three main party’s Cabinet/Shadow Cabinet (taking the listings from their official national party websites).
Line up the party’s in order of enthusiasm for cutting public spending.
And what do you find? The keener the party is on cutting public spending, the bigger is its team:
Labour – 23 members
Liberal Democrats – 30 members
Conservatives – 32 members
Hmm.
