Tomorrow is the Coalition's 'bad news day'



This is my lasting memory of news as I was growing up in the 1970s.

How things have changed.

Tomorrow the Coalition will try to sneak out as much bad news as possible tomorrow, in the hope that nobody notices. I wonder what horrors we have in store on page 15?

1. Part privatisation of University College Hospital.
2. Total corporate restructuring of the NHS by 2020.
3. Stricter anti-union (anti-strike) legislation.
4. An increase in VAT.
5. An increase in income tax.
6. Theresa May is reshuffled to Work and Pensions.
7. Baroness Warsi is reshuffled to the Home Office.
8. The spending reviews will be worse than originally expected.
9. Graduate tax to come in for any graduate after 2010.
10. Disability benefit will be cut by 5%.

Any ideas?
