The Scale of Gordon Brown's Failure

Priscilla has some interesting stats on Gordon Brown's thirteen years:

When Gordon Brown arrived at the Treasury in 1997 he inherited a deficit of £6 billion. It is now £67 billion.

The UK was the seventh most competitive economy in the world. It is now 13th.

It was the fourth most competitively taxed: it is now the 84th

It was the fourth most lightly regulated: it is now the 86th.

13, unlucky for some....Well, all of us actually.
