What is it about Alistair Darling?….
Commenting on today’s admission by Alistair Darling that the Government needs to ’sharpen up’ Liberal Democrat Shadow Chancellor, Vince Cable said:
‘Many people will be staggered to learn that only now, six months into a financial crisis, the Chancellor is starting to admit there is a problem. Where on earth has the Chancellor been?
‘Yet even after the Nortern Rock disaster and bungled tax reforms, with mounting personal debt and a falling house market, the only thing the Chancellor feels is wrong is the need for improved communications. This isn’t an economic strategy; this is a sketch from Yes Minister’
I must say that Gordon Brown made a better Chancellor than Mr Darling, but surely there has to be at least one member of the ruling party who is able to add 2 +2 and make less than 5 and more than 3!
have your say
