The Thoughts of a Chancellor - Alistair Darling

Guardian: Has an excellent book review of the memoirs of the last Labour Chancellor Alistair Darling, the article has the great following line, “ …Darling sticks the stiletto into his victims with great deftness. … ”. Lets be honest folks the main target in the parts that have been released is the former PM Gordon Brown, the former PM looks foolish in believing that the banking crisis would only last six months, and would not take on board the need for cuts over four years. The former Chancellor has stated Labour would have better off in the 2010 election if the Party had been truthful with the voters for the need for cuts, not the argument that Labour was for government spending while the Conservatives wanted cuts.
