Where now?

For three weeks running, the question of public spending cuts has dominated Prime Minister's Questions.

Is there a cabinet split behind this door?

Gordon Brown's "big clunking fist" has failed to deflect the insistent jabs from David Cameron with the Tory leader accusing the Prime Minister of deceit over Labour's spending plans and of spinning a "ludicrous line" suggesting the Tories will cut spending by 10%.

Gordon Brown has finally admitted that capital spending on new investment WILL be cut after 2011 but even on Wednesday, he was still insisting day to day spending on services would continue to rise should Labour win the election.

David Cameron says spending must be cut to curtail government borrowing although health and foreign aid budgets would be spared.

Now there are reports of Labour divisions over the Prime Minister's strategy - with pressure from inside and outside the cabinet for more candour about what will happen after the election.

And the Chief Executive of the Audit Commission, Steve Bundred, accuses all politicians of being too scared to tell the truth about how much public spending would need to be cut. He suggests a pay freeze for Britain's six million public sector workers.

George Parker is Political Editor of the Financial Times - we asked him how Mr Bundred's suggestions had been going down.
