Danny Alexander accidentally deliberately leaks CSR Public Service cuts
http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2010/oct/19/spending-review-document-job-cuts#
And the 'official' headline is that they estimate 490,000 people will be made redundant from the public sector by 2014.

Strange though, normally they jumped all over this kind of thing.
They cannot know the exact number - a lot of the job losses will be in local government and it will be up to local councils to decide on how many redundancies they need (some could just cut salaries to save jobs).
And it's not 490,000 redundancies - that number includes advertised jobs that are to be pulled, planned additional jobs under Labour that are to be scrapped, and existing jobs that won't be refilled should someone retire/leave.

I wish I was on the type of salary that some people think us civil servants are on.
Does that apply to Cameron also

Press don't even let Minsiters read papers in their lap without zapping whats being read on a lap?!
I once read a autobiography of a former high profile MP who was persecuted by the press and this MP said he/she was threatened with the use of scanners to hear what was going on in his/her place!!!!!
Is this what the press do anyway? That should be illegal! Surely its the listning equivellent to voyeurism?
Was covered today by the Mail too http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1321842/SPENDING-REVIEW-500-000-public-sector-jobs-Danny-Alexander-lets-cat-bag.html
Just for the RW view.
Come back David Laws, all is forgiven.
Made me laugh..... Ken Clark must be the muppet chef
Leaks are rarely accidental.
Sometimes they provoke an 'enquiry' which never produces a conclusion.
It's a way of spreading out bad news.
It was on the news I watched.
Perhaps he would should have been wise enough to cover the papers while the cameras were flashing but I think it's different to what Caroline Flint and that police commander did walking up Downing St with secret paper on view and reading such papers on the back seat of a car. Ministers should be able to work from their official car. Isn't that an invasion of privacy? It's not that far from the press taking photos of meetings through office windows.
And one of the main stories on PM on Radio 4 yesterday. Hardly a blackout. It is however not exactly surprising, so I imagine that's why it's not a bigger story.
