PM David Cameron's new head of policy development Paul Kirby, appointed on Friday, has form in his view of the public services.
Kirby, a former partner at management consultancy KPMG, was one of the main authors of the not-very-good KPMG report Paying For Success, which we reviewed briefly and unfavourably last year.
It would seem as if That Nice Mr Cameron is determined to let dogma be his guide dog, by the sound of such dog-whistle political claptrap.
