Cameron caves in to Fox...

...so reports the Guardian today
In a letter to Cameron leaked last week to the Daily Telegraph, Fox warned the cuts would be devastating. "Party, media, military and the international reaction will be brutal if we do not recognise the dangers and continue to push for such draconian cuts at a time when we are at war," he wrote.

Fox, who has met the prime minister since the leak, is confident the Treasury accepts that his budget will have to be cut by less than 10%. This could be fantastic news for SPVA who were expecting anything up to 30% cuts to be imposed as a result of the Defence and Security and the Public Spending Reviews
