I'm not sure I'd agreed that £97bn will be 'wasted' on nuclear weapons, but it's certainly a lot of money and there are much higher priorities for us to spend the money on - especially within the defence budget.

What is truly upsetting is that Mr. Darling just missed a great opportunity to cut Trident and save £97bn from being wasted on nuclear weapons over the next years.

Not so long ago ANY leak of budget information was regarded as a sacking/resigning issue. Even actionable by my learned friends.

And quite right too.

What an utter omni-shambles these incompetent, inept and clueless arseholes have made of it all.

Yours, in despair,

I thought Bercow was going to crack down on all this leaking.

It's fucking annoying, every day announcements are bookended by Today and PM beginning stories with "The Minister will tell the House" and "The Minister has told the House". (Third on the list is "Researchers for charity X claim to have proved banning Y will makes us all live 50 years longer")

It really shouldn't be allowed, it gives the government the opportunity to get their version of the story out first and the one who provides the first analysis sets the agenda. Most of all though it's just annoying, what's the point of a news story telling us what might happen later today?
