Don't "bank" on it (pun intented).

I reckon that snap general election might be coming our way after all.

He looked knackered over the weekend, did you see the size of the bags under his eyes !? I must say Darling has performed well in front of the cameras.

Would you have any faith in Cameron in this situation, I wouldn't.

Insure now with Browndential

A diet of late night Bombay Bad Boys probably doesn't help either.

It's taken a year of dithering to come up with what I think is actually a good solution.
Meanwhile banks have been nationalised and gone bust because that was thought to be the best thing because they had been naughty, but actually regulation and HMG had failed us by allowing a debt spiral. Eventually, and tragically belatedly for the UK economy, they realised that banks were actually needed!!
Too many mistakes I'm afraid, and a year too late. Cameron would not have done any worse.

Agreed - this is no time for a novice.

Brown's lack of foresight has caused this mess. IMO he's at about break even point on the "world class economist" scales.

His plan (there is no point pretending Darling had anything to do with it, despite his presence in front of camera) may well work, but we're not out of the woods yet.

If he were to call a general election tomorrow, I still wouldn't vote for him.

Your Northern Rock money is gone ! It's time to move on.
