And lo, the unravelling begins...

Usually it takes a few days for a speech (be it conference/budget/pre-budget) from this Government to start unravelling. This time it's less than 24 hours.

Firstly, it transpires that the plan to house 16 and 17 year old single mums was put forward by Tony Blair in 1999, has in fact been in operation for a few years, and may only help 2000 teenage mums, and is a BNP policy, shows that it's not the revolutionary policy as originally thought. Some Labour MPs hate this policy and have been spouting off about it.

Half of the new apprenticeships have already been been offered.

More will be spent on schools, but surely there's £2Bn savings identified by Balls? Maybe those savings won't be used to bring down the burgeoning debt...

The Child Tax credit will be removed to pay for 250,000 2 year old's child care of the poorest, but doesn't that squeeze the already 'squeezed middle' more?

There will be no compulsory ID cards. That's already the policy!

A referendum on PR and removal of hereditary peers. Hello, wasn't that 1997?

And to top it all, the Sun's had enough.

Nuff said.

Squiffy.
