The newly discovered Whitehall “black holes” could force even more severe public spending cuts, or higher tax rises, ministers fear.
“There are some worrying early signs that numbers left by the outgoing government may not add up,” said Francis Maude, the Cabinet Office minister.
David Willetts, the universities minister, claimed that Labour had left behind “not so much an in-tray as a minefield”

Doesn't surprise me at all! The deliberate 'policy' of a shambolic government in terminal decline or just a sign of their utter ineptitude I wonder??.... Perhaps both. Hopefully it'll become clear in due course and those remaining New Labour supporters will see just how badly things really were whilst Brown and his cohorts were trying to deflect blame and criticism onto people who hadn't been in power and had no role in the decisions that were made.

Now Brown's got a bit more time on his hands and is going to devote himself to 'good causes', I hear he's considering marketing his 'Brown Formula' to governments, organisations, individuals etc. who're mired in debt and on the verge of bankruptcy but don't want to feel bad about it. The detail is highly complex of course but in simple terms when you enter all the relevant financial data all the minus signs (for costs, debts, liabilities etc.) are changed to plus signs and all the income/revenue figures are quadrupled....
