The Chancellor has conceded in an interview with me that if Labour is re-elected, public spending cuts will be tougher and deeper than those implemented by Margaret Thatcher.
I asked Alistair Darling to spell out how tough spending cuts could be:
ROBINSON: "The Treasury's own figures suggest deeper, tougher than Thatcher's - do you accept that?"
DARLING: "They will be deeper and tougher - where we make the precise comparison I think is secondary to an acknowledgement that these reductions will be tough."
