There is something I want for Christmas.

It is a government which understands that people have seen through spin and are sick and tired of silly media games played by senior politicians.

We are fed up with consultations that are bogus, with promises that are not kept, with side stories that try to distract from the bigger issues and with Ministers who think legislation is just another press release to capture a headline.

We would like Ministers to spend more time in their offices sorting out the problems, and less time on the media telling us they are sorted, or trying to get us to look elsewhere when a disaster is all around them.

We would like Ministers to concentrate on the things where they can make a difference. We would like them to spend taxpayers money as carefully as they do their own. We would like them to find out what they can buy with extra cash before they put out a press release saying they are going to spend it.

We would like Ministers that had some commonsense. It seems stupid to penny pinch
