Quote of the day

Lord Turnbull:
"You cannot help admire the sheer Stalinist ruthlessness of it all."

I met that Lord Turnbull once, when he was Cabinet Secretary. Can't say I was enormously impressed. Weedy-looking sort of bloke. Of course he wasn't a lord then.

Anyway, if a Chancellor of the Exchequer can't show a bit of Stalinist ruthlessness from time to time, then what's the point?
