Today the Telegraph has covered a story I did a month ago. See here.
They say:
Official figures showed that central government spent a total of £391 million on advertising, marketing, PR and other presentational work in 2007-08.
The total is up by £53 million on the previous year, when it was £338 million – a rise of almost 16 per cent.
They missed the angle that this surge in spending was to pay for Brown’s election that never was.
One reply on “Government’s spin bill rises to nearly £400m”
One of a number of excellent posts, Mr Taylor. And good to see politicians spending their own time exposing spin instead of spending taxpayers’ money just spinning.
