Labour: Osborne’s judgement has been wrong at every turn

Ian Pearson MP, Economic Secretary to the Treasury, responding to the reports in the Evening Standard and today’s Guardian about George Osborne’s position, said:

“If David Cameron thinks George Osborne is not fit to run the Tory party, what makes him think he’s fit to run the British economy?

“George Osborne’s economic judgement has been wrong at every turn, from opposing the action to save Northern Rock to putting fuel duty up by 5p for ordinary families.

“His policy on the economy is incoherent and unfair – spending less time at Central Office won’t change that.”
