“Of course I take responsibly for the state of the economy.”
The words of Gordon Brown during yesterday’s news conference to supposedly announce help with rising energy costs.
The £910 million of “help” will, it turns out in classic Labour style, be paid for by the very people – you and I – the measures were supposed to assist after Ministers confirmed they could not force energy companies to stop increasing bills further to claw back the money they had agreed to shell out for this scheme.
As for Gordon Brown taking responsibility for the economic mess we’re now in, it’s sadly a case of another day, another slogan.
If he truly was taking responsibility, he would come forward with some genuine measures to turn things around.
Instead what we have is a steady stream of excuses why our problems are everyone’s fault but his, coupled with announcements first on housing, then on fuel costs which, whilst trailed in the media as hugely significant, turn out to be damp squibs.
Surely this farce cannot go on for much longer.
