It's all Gordon's fault

Today I launch my fiercest criticism yet of Gordon Brown's role in causing the current financial crisis.

Mr Brown's strategy has fundementally failed to fix the US sub-prime mortgage market. His regulation of the UK banking sector has been inadequate, and unchanged, despite our repeated calls to make it even more inadequate. [Is this right, George?]

We need change to mend our broken economy. Labour cannot do it because they will not own up to their mistakes. We, on the other hand, never make any mistakes. Thatcher's deregulation in the 80s was completely different, honest.

Mr Brown is a complete and utter failure. New Labour has embraced free market economics without question, without understanding how it works. That's our job.
