WILLIAM Hague has announced that he is to leave Westminster and go out into the "real world".

The Tories' last unsuccessful attempt to "meet the people" saw William Hague and Michael Portillo peddling anti-Europe policies off the back of a lorry while ignoring questions on their damaging plans for health and education. Now he's swapped the white van for a bandwagon to cover up his £16 billion cuts guarantee.

So when Mr Hague finally hits the road, these are the questions he should be asked wherever he goes. Who will pay the price for your £72 million of cuts in Bolton? Which nurses will you lay off? How many transport schemes will be cancelled?

He can't go all the way to the next election avoiding these questions. Can he?
