chosen to deploy some of his reserves. health is the big winner with an increase of more than half £1 billion. how much of that will get to the nhs front line does remain to be seen. the details of departmental spending plans will not will be published for another three weeks. all we get today's the naked headlines. mobile government which bears the response ability for delivering the local social services has been crying out for more help. on the face of it today, it looks like their core funding has been cut. but there are a variety of gra nts cut. but there are a variety of grants and other special funding awards that will bring their income up. so they are waiting to see how the picture looks. in fact one senior welsh government source said to me that for them today is the overture before the opera. usually the draft budget revealed today is for one year only in terms of day—to—day spending. that is unusual, but it is because of the brexit uncertainties i'm told. there

becoming a little devalued. i remember another one that said ‘this house is very old.‘ i thought, we've got a lot of houses that are very old. you've got to be careful, and very selective. just how many of these blue plaques are there? in windsor alone there are 2a, with everyone from the bridge designer charles wallace to the less well—known a local man who decided to make a perfect windsor. around 900 of these plaques exist in britain today. there are three main types of blue plaques, including english heritage. when you hear that charles dickens has about 50... it's ridiculous. i'm on a blue plaque. i was part of a band in the 1960s. don't believe him ?
