The Guardian wrote:Comprehensive spending review: you make the cuts
The coalition says it must slash billions from public spending to tackle the UK's growing budget deficit. George Osborne's comprehensive spending review will reveal where the axe will fall. But should he cut as deep? And is he cutting the right things? Use this tool to conduct your own spending review

Interesting article worth reading too.
- Put 2p on the upper rate of tax (the richer wouldn't really notice it)
- Means test the winter fuel payment (about 90% of them are not in 'fuel poverty')
- Scrap trident
- Decriminalise all recreational drugs
- Prescribe heroin
- Scrap the academies and 'free schools' programme
- Raise the pension age as quickly as the government is planning
Like a government that actually helps the poor - that's certainly the impression the Tories are giving out.
