Podcast special: comprehensive spending review 2010

Aditya Chakrabortty and Tom Clark run the rule over the most dramatic public sector cuts since the 1930s.

In the studio:

• Polly Toynbee says the CSR was extremely political, targeting the bottom 30% of the population

• Patrick Butler suggests wheelchairs will descend on Downing Street in protest at the cuts in disability allowances

• William Keegan says George Osborne is the most dangerous chancellor the UK has had in his lifetime, and that far from cutting, the economy is really in need of public sector investment and expansion

All this and more in our special comprehensive spending review podcast.
