So what we have there is a conspiracy -- right there ! it gets leaked to the press and the press go along with it and publish it as fact.
She is by stating that the UK will be run via the tax take and not borrowing, That is an extremely important aspect as far as they are concerned.
The borrowing to invest comes about due to a business view - a gov must to achieve growth. The serious money men with many billions.
That aspect relates to the tax income covering the running of the UK. Until the budget is released we have no idea what she will do to achieve it. Tough decisions that might be just were money is spent. Or tough changes etc.
Radio 5 run a chat show which unlike Vines tends to be sensible rather than trying to be sensational via interviewing and egging on people who are often nutcases. A lot of people want to see improvements in expenditure in a number of areas. Tough as there is not enough money around to cover it.

Labours reply to one case started by a Scottish couple
A spokesperson for the UK government said it was committed to supporting pensioners and that millions would see their state pension rise by £1,700 during this parliament.
They added: "Over a million pensioners will still receive the winter fuel payment, and our drive to boost pension credit take-up has already seen a 152% increase in claims. Many others will also benefit from the £150 warm home discount to help with their energy bills over winter."
Also same legal company mentioned in other links
The couple were being supported by former Scottish first minister Alex Salmond, who put them in touch with Govan Law Centre and called the payment being scrapped "unacceptable".
Couple given go-ahead to sue governments over winter fuel payment
A hearing at the Court of Session in Edinburgh is now scheduled for January.

Seems a judge has ok'd the hearing. The cut reduces the extra that England gives to Wales, Scotland and N Ireland. That's some % extra on all budgets. Out of our tax taken in England.
