Not what you would like to see but what you expect given the present situation. I think maybe the bill to freeze taxes, means testing of some benefits, sale of social housing, something on the NHS - access to GPs? And something on education - not sure what - more free schools? More schools taken out of LEA control, something on increased free child care?

G2 that chap who sometimes goes by the name Grant Shappes says that with regard to the boundary changes nothing needs to be done it will automatically happen in 2018. I need to look this up to verify that he is right and he is such a drip.

A boundary review is due in 2018. That's the only thing that'll happen automatically, not the actual changes.

Thanks ana I knew he was wrong - he really does not appear to be the brightest light in the box.
