Not quite, John.

What I will say is that the months up to the local elections in May will more than likely see a rash of 'good news' stories in The Observer dishing out large chunks of what is left instead of saving it.

The spending which annoys me (and which the public doesn't get to know about) is the 'little' amounts of between a few hundred and a few thousand on meaningless things that are forgotten about immediately. I have asked for a comprehensive list of all spending from every department so that I can try to identify where savings could be made.

It won't be much fun to read but I firmly believe that we could trim the excess without harming staff levels too much if we put our minds to it.
