So are we saying Gordon Brown was a fairly useless chancellor then? OK, how useless?
1. Was he the most useless economic minister in the developed world over those ten years?
2. Was he the most useless chancellor Britain has ever had?
3. Or is he merely occupying a UEFA Cup position in those league tables?
I need to know, so I can improve my metaphors.Comment

Rule of thumb:
During Conservative governments,
good things are the result of Tory policies,
bad things are hangovers from the previous Labour administration, or the cost of cleaning up its mess.
During Labour governments,
invert above.Comment
