New Labour were like that because they had been told from the cradle that they were the cleverest people in the world. Mind you, the ruling element of Old Labour could also be like that.<br /><br />Corbyn and McDonnell are the first leading politicians in a very long time to be willing to admit that they did not know everything, and instead to seek out the company and help of people with real expertise.David Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06839882674758833524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25656996.post-57679541117341535022016-03-18T14:25:14.015+00:002016-03-18T14:25:14.015+00:00Like her husband, that Cooper is meant to be a bri...Like her husband, that Cooper is meant to be a brilliant economist. Not according to brilliant economists, she isn't. The Ballses knew more about economics than anyone else in the room only when no one else in the room knew the first thing about economics.<br /><br />No one in the room with Osborne knows anything about it.

Even though (or, rather, because) two of those others had been Chief Secretaries to the Treasury during the New Labour years.David Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06839882674758833524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25656996.post-43929500405513528442016-03-18T14:17:31.172+00:002016-03-18T14:17:31.172+00:00Tony "Stagflation" Barber was the worst ...Tony "Stagflation" Barber was the worst Chancellor ever. Geoffrey Howe, Nigel Lawson, Norman Lamont, Osborne is a worthy heir of those clowns. You are right, in fact you did a bit to organise it last year, all the proper economists are behind Corbyn and McDonnell.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
