The IMF Praises Gordon Brown And Backs Labour On The Economy

Many Tories have since the financial crisis started predicted that Labour will eventually have to go running cap in hand to the IMF.

Again like everything else the facts prove that even in opposition how far out of their depth the Tories really are.

Dominique Strauss-Kahn who is the Managing Director of the IMF has been speaking at the annual CBI conference where he said that the “World owed a debt of gratitude to Gordon Brown”, he also backed Gordon Brown’s fiscal stimulus and warned that withdrawing the stimulus too early would be costlier than withdrawing it too late.

Compare that with the approach of David Cameron and the Tories who have promised an emergency budget within 50 days of winning the General Election so they can enact George Osborne’s ‘Age Of Austerity’ which really means savage cuts in the services that millions of ordinary rely upon, the banner below from Conservative Home says it all really

More evidence that the Tories can’t be trusted to manage a smile let alone be put in a position of power.
