  David Cameron tells Cabinet;;stop trying to dodge the cuts and leave Welfare to suffer the pain......how true!!!!!!!!!!
  
  David Cameron is to order Cabinet ministers to end their "cuts nymbism" as they threaten to derail George Osborne's demands
  
  for another £10bn of spending reductions.
  
  The Prime Minister is to rebuff Conservative ministers who are pushing for more cuts to the welfare budget in an attempt to
  
  protect their own departments from the Chancellor's axe. He will point out that £3.6bn has already been shaved off the benefits
  
  bill in 2015-16, and argue it is time for other ministers to keep the Government's deficit-reduction strategy on track.
  
  One close ally of the Prime Minister said: "You cannot be a fiscal conservative and then say that does not apply in your own
  
  department." The ally said it should be possible to find £10bn of savings in the 2015-16 financial year from the £150bn-a-year of
  
  government spending that is not "ring-fenced". The three protected budgets are health, schools and overseas aid.
