Leading article: In the end, spending cuts are political
What utter claptrap! Almost every criticism in this article is both facile and puerile.
1) OBR is also not as significant as Einstein's theory of relativity, does that make it useless?
2) Labour may have been the obfuscating equal of other governments, but the OBR will make the coalition less so.
3) The OBR team is no larger or smaller than it was when it was part of treasury
4) OBR accuracy is unlikely to be lower than when there was pressure to say what the boss wanted to hear
PS: In the end, even flossing is political. So what?
