National debt as a % of GDP more than doubled between 1997 and 2010? Fiscal balance went from a net surplus post Major to almost 10% of GDP? Invented BTL?
Gordon Brown didn't create the US subprime crisis but he was a cheerleader for leveraged casino banking throughout his time in government. In a sense, the banking boom was New Labour's version of the North Sea boom that propped up Thatcher.
