    Pupils at Eton - the ultra-posh boarding school attended by David Cameron, among many others - have attempted their own take on Gangnam Style.

    Even as “comedy” virals go it’s rather cringe-inducing. Yet an indepth analysis of the new lyrics – for it deserves nothing less – reveals that these over-privileged little herberts are just as needy, insecure and rubbish with the ladies as the rest of us plebs.

    In his speech on Tuesday to the Conservative party conference, the mayor of London, Boris Johnson, told delegates: ‘The prime minister and I danced Gangnam Style the other day’. So the Guardian decided to put together an animation of what Boris and Dave dancing to the hit song by South Korean rapper Psy might possibly look like

    Disturbing…

    Britain is a poorer country than we realised and it is not going to get richer any time soon. The decisions taken today are going to have a real effect on the living standards of millions of people. Public sector workers will have two more years of below-inflation pay rises and public sector job losses are now expected to reach more than 700,000. According to the Office for Budget Responsibility, earnings are not expected to overtake inflation in significant terms until 2014. The next election will be an austerity election. And even after that it will be grim. Osborne has only managed to stay on course to met his deficit reduction targets by planning a £15bn spending cut after the election. But he hasn’t told us where that money will come from. That pain is for another day.

    Andrew Sparrow’s thoughts on George Osborne’s Autumn Statement.
