Gordon was very keen to repeat the £6bn figure that the Tories plan to cut from public sector waste. I counted four separate occasions but there may have been more.
He'll have to try harder though as faithful lapdogs, the Guardian and Comrade Beeb, failed to pass on the scary figure in their write-ups. So you will hear it over and over again in the next four weeks just to embed it. Because it's a scary figure, and Labour like scary.
Just to highlight how scary it is, it's about the same amount Gordon spunked up the wall when he sold the country's gold at the wrong time.
And it is so very scary that it is almost - not quite, but almost - a third of the annual £18.4bn cost of our EU membership ... which Labour are quite happy with.
Just thought that info might be useful in case your local Labour PPC comes a-knocking.
