Labour's spending cuts pledge: "We'll cut your throat slowly, the others will cut your head off." posted by Richard Seymour
"Labour’s Ronnie Campbell, fighting to be re-elected as Blyth Valley’s MP, has warned politicians on all sides that they most be more open about the harsh realities of so-called “efficiency savings” and the impact they will have in places such as the North East."In an outspoken interview he said his own Labour party was proposing spending cuts which would “cut your throat slowly”.
But, Mr Campbell, said the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats proposals would “cut your head off”."
