In a speech in Cardiff today, Alistair Darling acknowledged that the NHS will not be immune from spending cuts.
During the course of his speech, the Chancellor said that the Government was determined “never to risk the fiscal sustainability of our economy” and continued:
“This will mean, as Gordon Brown and I have already made clear, hard choices on public spending.”
Could someone please remind me precisely when it was that Gordon “Tory cuts v Labour investment” Brown provided the degree of clarity asserted by Mr Darling?
Gordon Brown has proved on almost every measure that he has failed to govern the UK.
How can New Labour fight an election based on what Cameron ‘might do’ when Brown has proved without dispute that he unable to govern the UK and has put us into recession and given us years of high taxesand reduced services to pay back the debts!
How badly does a labour leader have to perform before the Labour hierarchy decide that he (or she) cannot do the job? If Brown was a managing director of a company he would have gone a long time ago!
