        From his wikipedia entry:

        "Darling is not a professional economist, nor has he any experience of business. But he has always been a loyal supporter of Gordon Brown, the prime minister.. On Andrew Rawnsley's Channel Four programme on 9 June 2008 ("Gordon Brown: Where Did It All Go Wrong?"), Irwin Stelzer, a fellow of the Hudson Institute who knows Brown well, said: "Anyone who thinks Gordon Brown has given up being Chancellor doesn't know Gordon Brown. Alistair Darling is a man of some modest ability, but Gordon's, let's say, heavily involved in fiscal policy."



        The blind leading the blind ....
        Hard Brexit now!

              The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

              But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                Asked about the different in the two forecasts, Mr Darling said he would be looking again at his growth figures in the pre-Budget report in the autumn.
                Perhaps he feels the need to make some more up...
