    The IFS have just said that the black hole in the budget is the same size as the changes in the last budget by Jeremy Hunt. It looks like they knew they were done and decided to leave some landmines around to mess Labour up.

    Kicking projects like the Stonehenge tunnel into the long grass seems the sensible temporary response.

      The Stonehenge tunnel is a boondoggle that should never have been funded in the first place.
