Strange, isn't it - people listen to what people have to say, and they change things, they still get pilloried.

The key question here is this: did he change because he wanted to (your premise I guess) or was he made to (mine)?
I think you are viewing this with too much charity. George wanted to make this changes, this was his policy. Please tell me he has seen the light on the road to Damascus (bad choice of venue I suppose but run with it) and no longer believes that his initial plans were wrong? He wanted to make these cuts and probably still does but was thwarted.
As we are coming up to Christmas, is George Scrooge who when visited by the Ghosts of Christmas, saw the error of his mean spirited ways and had a change of heart, said "God bless the poor (and Police)" and was a good man for ever more ... or ... is he still Scrooge?
Let's see what is next on his ideological shopping list ..
