HAS GORDON BROWN RUINED THE ECONOMY?

Wednesday April 30,2008

Macer Hall Political Editor


GORDON Brown yesterday admitted being “very worried” about the impact of crippling price rises on families and pensioners.


He conceded that millions of house­holds were suffering under the financial squeeze.

It was a confession likely to intensify concern about his Government’s stewardship of the economy.

As he spoke, new figures suggested further downturns in High Street spending and lending by banks.

But Mr Brown claimed Labour would not be punished for the economic gloom in tomorrow’s town hall elections, arguing that local issues dominated the polls.

Do YOU think Gordon Brown has ruined the economy? Should Labour be PUNISHED for the economic gloom?
