Government projects at risk of failing

Good spot.
This and the IMF basically saying to Osborne as part of their annual review, what Ed Balls and Labour has been saying for 3 years (too much cutting too quickly, bring forward infrastructure spending etc etc.) , have been submerged by the slaughter in Woolwich.
I note that these projects that have amber-red warning i.e. serious risk of failing include IDS's universal credit project and the flat rate pension project.
The flat rate pension project was the one Osborne initially announced to come in in 2016. It was then postponed to 2017 a few months later, only to be brought forward to 2016 in the last budget. Now it is rated as at serious risk of failure, I can feel another postponement coming on. No wonder the people working on these projects don't know whether they are coming or going.
