"CRASH" GORDON BROWN IS NO SAVIOUR OF THE UNIVERSE.
BROWN DITHERED WHILE OTHER COUNTRIES ACTED.
Speaking after Prime Ministers Questions today (Wednesday), during which Mr Brown claimed that “[he]…not only saved the world…”, SNP Treasury spokesperson, Stewart Hosie MP, mocked the Prime Minister's claims and highlighted the actions taken by other countries to bring forward economic stimulus packages happened well before Gordon Brown initiated any help. Mr Hosie said: ”Despite his boasts, crash Gordon is no saviour of the universe. ”Indeed while other countries were moving forward with fiscal packages to stimulate their economies, Gordon Brown was dithering. Far from 'leading' the world he has had to follow it. ”It is time the Prime Minister stopped strutting the international stage in his attempts to pull the wool over people's eyes. It's time he put our own economy centre stage. For a start he should release the £1bn of Scottish resources being withheld by the Treasury, and rule out the £1bn cuts Labour plans to the Scottish Budget. "The Scottish Government is doing everything it can within its powers by delivering a six-point plan to help families and business. We've put more money back in people's pockets with a council tax freeze and lowering prescription charges; and we've put more money back into high street businesses with our small business bonus. "By failing to do so Gordon Brown is showing that he is falling behind the action the rest of the world is taking."
