But, just a quick question though given your comment about what Labour faced, do you believe the 2008 world financial crisis when there was a run on Northern Rock Bank and our behemoth banks like RBS nearly collapsed until Labour bailed them out was a minor hiccup in your world view and wasn't a drain on the public purse?

And yes I know Brown sold the gold cheap blah, blah, blah.
He did sell the gold for peanuts so I don’t understand why that’s “blah, blah,blah”?

I voted for New Labour under Blair but that decision was a poor one.

I always liked Alistair Darling, I though he did a great job through the 2008 financial crisis.

I thought he was a far better Chancellor and would’ve made a far better leader and PM than Brown.

It’s a shame that his time and people like Alan Johnston are no longer around.

Starmer and Rayner FFS! 🙄😳😩
