Brown to borrow £351 billion
Debt to rocket again
According to the Daily Mail (where’s that pinch of salt?)
Britain will borrow more money in the next two years than the country borrowed in the 306 years leading up to Labour’s 1997 election win, it has been revealed.
The big question has to be “where will he get it from?”
Did I hear the word “prudence” somewhere in the past?
Update
Forget that pinch of salt and get me some valium instead, the Speccy reveals that the figure came from Chris Giles at the Financial Times, we really are in (very) deep doodoo!
Normally, Prime Ministers who do not lead their party to an election victory and serve only part of a Parliament are mere footnotes in history. Brown will avoid that fate. But he will go down in history as one of the worst Prime Ministers this country has had since the second Reform Act
