A good day to bury news?
0David Cameron will put his vision for this afternoon Reform of public services . The delayed public services open Whitepaper public services to private providers, on a train, the Prime Minister expected to be available as "the power of the people" revolution. But as the phone hacking scandal dominates the news agenda, what interesting timing for the white paper. The Guardian 's Julian Glover writes today
"Not much in the newspaper's new: the point, say its authors, to draw together existing plans of the coalition's \ support fragmented for more varied and responsive public services emphasize competition is designed to push up standards and reduce costs, the. coalition seems in his faith steadfast in such things - but tense, also watch for a backlash from professionals, things as they are want to, lonely minister tone: to .. the white paper explaining why they think that they are right.
Either way, today 's start doesn' t have a hope in hell to win attention by phone hacking. Maybe that doesn 't matter is. What matters is that the coalition is still in a position just to have a common set of values ??and the lower divisions over what to public services, such as the political reasons for the change can be obtained consent to be done. It 'sa fear of radicalism cocky after one year, that the empire strikes back - perhaps even that the whole project is brought, be reduced by aftershocks from the Murdoch crisis. But, like gyros copy teaches, there is nothing as dynamic as a stabilizer in a fluctuating time. Look forward to talk about the future, and keep on trucking. That 's what happens in this White Paper. "
But as the prime minister prepared to unveil the white paper, news broke this morning that the Southern Cross care homes group is to close.
When Christine Burns pointed out on Twitter:
"Southern Cross goes belly-up on the day that David Cameron wants us to believe private sector companies should be important public services, run"
Meanwhile, Julian Dobson says on Twitter:
"The public services white paper \ a vicar's egg. Some places are innovations, many are in confusion. Cuts still be the big story."
My colleague Alison Benjamin was a request on Twitter this morning:
"Those who work, or with a relative in a # SouthernCross home let me know what \ the impact of the company 's death on you with \."
Andrew Sparrow will be following the prime minister's speech on the Politics live blog
