NATIONAL finance figures can be quite baffling.

It is said lack of money is reducing the amount allocated to the welfare services, but terrorist threats means an extra £22bn has to be found for our defence services.

Also extra money is to be allocated to the NHS.

Where is this money coming from?

Maybe the cancellation of the high speed rail link or renewal of the nuclear submarines.

We shall see.
