... class forces that has left the country in the hands of the likes of Murdoch. Where did it all go wrong for Brown? After everything he had done, why did Murdoch decide to support David Cameron, someone he affected to despise as an over-privileged toff? Both Rebekah Brooks and James Murdoch2 were urging Murdoch to back the Tories, something that he did with great reluctance. He recognised that Brown was a hard-nosed right- winger who could certainly be trusted to take whatever measures were necessary to protect the interests of the rich and super rich during the recession. Brown had proven himself more than amenable to furthering the interests of News International. What seems ...

... remained higher ever since. (That strange noise you can hear is sniggering from the stockbroker belt round London.) Consequently the pound has been too high and a chorus of complaint has issued from British manufacturing as the overvalued pound began putting them out of business. This did not deter Brown. He wanted 'stability' and 'an end to Tory boom and bust' – phrases you must have heard a hundred times a year. But Brown defined 'stability' simply as low inflation – currency instability didn't matter and didn't get onto the agenda.4 And we had a re-run of 1980-2 . Through 1998 and into 1999, as the pound remained too high under ...
