Cabinet Office minister Francis Maude and the general secretary of the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) union Mark Serwotka clashed on the BBC Today programme this morning.

Maude said the government was taking part in the talks in “good faith” and they were “making progress”, but wouldn’t say what he was prepared to negotiate over.

He also said the Hutton report made it clear that the curent system was “untenable”, and avoided repeating Cameron’s claim that the system would “go bust”.

But when presenter Evan Davis pushed him to clarify his remarks – he stumbled badly.

Francis Maude rumbled on pensions (mp3)

The staggering part isn’t that the government has continually lied on this issue, it’s that this is the first time someone in the broadcast media have caught them out on it.

It’s not the first time. They did the same with another minister yesterday:

Francis Maude was also busted by Radio 4 when interviewed about Big Soc. The interviewer asked what his contribution was, and his silence in response was wonderfully eloquent. It took him ages to answer and the best he could do was to say he contributed to his local church. How long until he becomes unavailable?

3. Max Bel

Cherub – he became unavailable tonight! He backed out of Channel 4 interview tonight, only minutes from when it was due to start!

4. Cherub

@3

How amusing!

5. Charlieman

Credit to Evan Davis for pushing his brief so strongly. The “fact” that increased cost of public sector pension schemes is a temporary blip and will shortly fall as percentage of GDP has been widely covered on many blogs. It is not an absolute fact but like a commonly accepted scientific theory, it fits in with what we know today and expect to know tomorrow.

Listeners to that short clip should not place too much of anything on the basis of Serwotka’s intervention at the end. He didn’t contribute anything useful before Evan Davis kicked off.

6. John Thwaites

As a baby boomer. the government is attacking us every way.
the report about living longer has never been verified and as a postman who has work upto 100 hour weeks we see many of our mates pass away 2 years after they retire.
the royal mail have stolen our index linked pension and replaced it with a lesser one, after having a 17 years pension holiday.
the so call £8 billion black hole is a myth as it would require everyone to retire tomorrow, to cause the over spend.

7. Bob B

After the debacle with the proposed NHS reforms – which were never mentioned at the time of the election and which have been twice disowned by the BMA – and now this over public-sector pension reform, the government has no remaining credibility.

All the government and its supporters can no now is to continue the nasty Orwellian hate campaign against public-sector workers.

What a way to govern the country.

8. BenC

You can always tell when Francis Maude is lying or sticking the knife into someone- he’s concsious & breathing!

He was previously my local MP in North Warwickshire & it was a happy day in our house when Labour’s Mike O’Brien toppled him in 1992 (sadly O’Brien fell casualty in 2010 to anger at the proposed HS2 line cutting through his patch, as well as New Labour’s failings & a ton of Ashcroft money being ploughed into an already wealthy local Conservative Association). My mum worked at a local school where Maude did a Q&A session for some of the senior staff & he openly & proudly admitted afterwards that his work for the Treasury was far more important to him than serving his constituents.
