David Cameron’s comments on Friday night’s Jeremy Paxman interview should worry everyone who depends on public services and the many who work hard to deliver them.
The Conservative leader’s comments show that the North will be a target for his public expenditure cuts should he take office. Services in this region would be squeezed both directly and indirectly in the spending plans of a Tory government.
One of the challenges in the next Parliament will be the fight to defend frontline services overall and the North’s budget share in particular. People here need MPs who will stand up for them in that Parliament to defend vital services and protect social security benefits and pensions. MPs can’t really stand up for people on these issues when it counts, where it matters, if they never take their seat.
