"Darling is not a professional economist, nor has he any experience of business. But he has always been a loyal supporter of Gordon Brown, the prime minister.. On Andrew Rawnsley's Channel Four programme on 9 June 2008 ("Gordon Brown: Where Did It All Go Wrong?"), Irwin Stelzer, a fellow of the Hudson Institute who knows Brown well, said: "Anyone who thinks Gordon Brown has given up being Chancellor doesn't know Gordon Brown.
