I think Nick Robinson was on to something the other day when he suggested the Treasury’s favourite way of spinning at the moment is to commission an “independent” review from someone Tony and Gordon know will agree with http://www.raybani.com/ them – because they think “independent” “experts” are more trusted than the government itself.

Well, Kate Barker’s produced yet another one for them, this time on planning law. I could be persuaded, but many people’s instincts will be against this precisely because it’s so obviously orchestrated to make us think this is terribly reasonable – and not simply what Tony and Gordon want.
