The Downing Street Letters… that Gordon Brown doesn’t want you to read
In 1997 Fred Harrison wrote to Tony Blair and his Ministers: “I am your worst nightmare. I know exactly why New Labour will fail”. For ten years Harrison identified for Gordon Brown the policies that could prevent the next boom bust.
Brown failed to adopt the reforms. Instead, he fostered the state of denial that led Blair’s spin doctor, Alistair Campbell to write: “Dear Fred, I am a little bemused as to why you believe this country’s economic policy is ‘a shambles’.”
Brown and his Chancellor Alistair Darling, through the strategies in their budget on Wednesday, are using the same technique to camouflage the policy failures that will deepen the depression.
The Renegade Economist team is releasing the letters that the Prime Minister doesn’t want you to read because they establish his guilt as the architect of the worst recession in Britain since the 1930’s. Read and judge for yourselves.
