Speaking at the Lord Mayor's Banquet in the City of London, he said the best way to keep the cost of living down was to take "difficult decisions on public spending" to leave "a state we can afford".
“It also means something more profound, it means building a leaner, more efficient state. We need to do more with less. Not just now, but permanently," he added.
Well, yes. Perhaps next year's Lord Mayor's Banquet will be in a soup kitchen?
