BLUNDERING axeman Danny Alexander let slip yesterday that half-a-million jobs will go under Con-Dem plans to slash the public sector. The figure was revealed in a dossier lying open on the ministers lap as he drove into the Treasury. Up to 50,000 of the jobs will disappear from Scotland - one in 10 public sector jobs north of the Border. Thousands of teachers, nurses, health and council staff will be ordered to take pay cuts under the plans to be announced today. They will be told to work fewer hours if they want to keep their jobs. Alexander, the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, accidentally gave away the full impact of the £83billion cuts a day early. He was photographed with a briefing paper on the Comprehensive Spending Review on his lap. The papers stated that the coalition expects 490,000 public sector. jobs to be shed by 2014-15 directly as a result of their drastic spending cuts. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/almost-500000-public-sector-jobs-face-1073193
