David Laws resigns and the BBC have their first scalp

David Laws resigns and unless the coalition can find another fiscally dry Lib Dem then the Labour/BBC alliance will be able to categorise any cuts as 'Tory cuts'.

"There's no money left."

These are the words of a note left by Liam Byrne to his successor as Chief Secretary to the Treasury, David Laws, according to the Tax Payers Alliance.

'According to David Laws (the new Chief Secretary to the Treasury), the handover letter left for him by his predecessor Liam Byrne simply read:

"There's no money left."'

Many a true word spoken in jest? Or was Liam Byrne feeling guilty or gloating?

Any coverage of this revelation on the BBC? I thought not!
