TOMORROW we will learn just how far Chancellor George Osborne is to go in his bid to cut Britain’s deficit via cutting public spending.

Some unfavourable economic figures released recently mean that in order to hit the targets he set himself Mr Osborne will have to introduce further more draconian cuts to public spending.

For some it will be a step too far and councils up and down the country are warning they are getting towards a tipping point beyond which they will have to cut essential services.

Police commissioners likewise have been vocal in their demands for a reprieve from the expected cuts to budgets at a time when the country is facing a higher security risk.

Cabinet ministers have fought individual battles with Mr Osborne to try to protect their own departments from the most severe budget cuts.

But whatever their relative success there is no doubt that tomorrow’s spending review means cuts on a significant scale are inevitable.

Welsh Assembly First Minister Carwyn Jones says Wales is likely to take a serious hit.

And this means that there will have to be a review of how public services are delivered inWales in the future.

There will no doubt be some painful and difficult decisions ahead as every aspect of public services will come under scrutiny.

ANd in our view it will be nigh on impossible to shield any departments from having to introduce yet more cuts.
