Perhaps deluded would be a better word if arrogant isn't appropriate, though it's good to see them basically admitting they've wasted a ton of money, these efficiency savings must be coming from somewhere and given the previous efficiency reviews they've done and the past 13 years they've had to make things more efficient I guess they must have made a brand new set of inefficiencies to cut in order to avoid harming services while reducing the deficit to a mere 6% of GDP in 4 years.
I think excessive public spending is a subjective statement, after all we still spend less per head on our health system than France or Germany and when you consider the dramatic spending under Labour then that's is a awful reflection on previous Tory administrations.

Although I have faith the current Tories will not cut the NHS, I am worried about social care and other less visible, but important, services.
