Is there a spin doctor in the house?
I suppose I shouldn't really be in the business of promoting other BBC hacks' blogs, but I congratulate our regional political editor Martyn Oates for this entry about Cornwall Council's approach to the Supporting People budget. Council leader Alec Robertson is a likeable cove who tries earnestly to tell the truth as he sees it. So why was his performance in this TV interview such a train crash? Was it the messenger, or the message?

I'm BBC Radio Devon’s Graham Smith, blogging on news, views and some fresh insights into West Country life, particularly the way government works locally and nationally.
