Cameron promises deeper spending cuts in UK election.
The Daily Mirror reports that David Cameron is softening the public to the idea of even deeper cuts than what was promised during the campaign:
'In an astonishing television interview, the Tory leader acknowledged he would have to reduce spending by more than his party has admitted to publicly.And he highlighted welfare benefits along with the pay and pensions of seven million public sector workers as areas where he was looking to cut costs.
The frank admission was widely seen as a sign Cameron believes he is on course to get into No 10 this week.
The Tories want a full mandate to begin a harsh programme of cuts.
But Labour strategists believe it is an own goal and Cabinet ministers said it reminded people that a "nightmare" awaits if the Tories win on Thursday.
'
Unfortunately, the consensus seems to be that whichever man wins the election will confront the nightmare of British finances.
