"Alistair Darling hid “good news” on the deficit from Gordon Brown until the day before his final Budget, just weeks ahead of the election, in a move that in effect left a £7bn present for his Conservative successor"
In fairness, probably a fair bit of spin going on, but the ex Marxist Darling played a blinder with the hand he was dealt.
Probably says all we need to know about what a disaster Ed Balls would be if he made it to Labour leader (and god forbid PM in 5 years time).

And remember that labour were willing to put short term political advantage over the countries long term interests that it was necessary for one decent man to hide them from the biggest disaster to hit this country since WW2, aka Gordon Brown.0 -
Correction: The biggest disaster was the result of the last election which gave us Laural and Hardy in charge.And remember that labour were willing to put short term political advantage over the countries long term interests that it was necessary for one decent man to hide them from the biggest disaster to hit this country since WW2, aka Gordon Brown.0 -
