What a difference a week makes. Only last week David Cameron chose a youth centre in his leafy constituency of Banbury to set out his stance on looters a rioters and England's major city.

One assumes he chose the local youth centre to highlight just the kind of services which he thought could make a real difference.

But today youth workers in his own constituency are striking budget over cuts, which the union Unite argue will result in 80 job losses, the Independent reports.

You'd have to be naive in the extreme to claim that those cuts at a local level are not connected to those made at a national level by Cameron. It'll be interesting to see if Cameron, as the local MP, will make any effort to intervene.
