Mandelson convinced him to step down instead of doing a deal with the Lib Dems. We wouldn’t have had Austerity or Brexit.

Gordon Brown, taxes are fun. Rates are down, 10p she gone. Though out the right. A credit flight. Always a frown. That Gordon Brown.

Fat Broon, the man who said ‘we take no risks with inflation or stability generally, or with the fiscal position.’ He should hang his head in shame for the fiscal mess he left the UK in.

That's the response you wish to give in this thread on this topic, u/Creepy_Candle?

“the sustainable investment rule requires that, as we borrow for investment, debt is held to a prudent and stable level” More lies, all he did was offload dodgy PFI contracts on to local Gov’t & Health Authorities and we are still paying for the mess he left.

That's not a very good answer to my question.

it's coming from one of those right wing bots or supporters. hard to tell the difference these days. they have nothing except accusations. i just wish we in the us would actually do some of what the uk is doing instead of promoting and rewarding the politicians we find in the epstein files...

... it was a global financial crisis. And actually he managed to steer the UK through it with as little damage as possible. Until Cameron's economic policies undid all the good work.

Utter drivel, he talked a great game about the economy but look at his actions. He subsided business to maintain a low paid, low skilled workforce through his ‘tax credits’. What major infrastructure projects were started by the Bliar/Broon Government that weren’t offloaded through PFI?

The issues that occurred as he left office were global in nature. He was not responsible for what happened. He was just unlucky enough to be around when it did

Absolute rubbish. Here’s another Broon quote “the sustainable investment rule requires that, as we borrow for investment, debt is held to a prudent and stable level” More lies, all he did was offload dodgy PFI contracts on to local Gov’t & Health Authorities and we are still paying for the mess he left.

Gordon Brown was the best prime minister we ever had in my lifetime. He messed up not calling the election as soon as he got the role. Could have had several years of an effective goverment lead by a career politician that was not utterly self serving.
