Let’s leave it to Devil’s Kitchen to tear to shreds the latest utterances of the government in its plans to spend money it does not have on even more profligate scales than now.

Let’s instead focus on something missed by D’s K in the offending Telegraph article.

A juicy eggcorn:

Mr Balls, the Children’s Secretary, has defied suggestions from Mervyn King, the Governor of the Bank of England, that immediate action was required to check the levels of public borrowing.

He indicated increased spending on front line services such as schools and hospitals, and hinted for the first time that the police may also be protected from the cuts.

The disclosure that ministers have little intention of reigning back on spending in the short term came as the Centre for Economics and Business Research warned that public spending was set to rise to 50 per cent of gross domestic product by the end of the next financial year.

Can you spot it?

Update: too easy! I’ll try harder next time.
