'The Chancellor may use social democratic rhetoric now and again, such as at Scottish Labour conferences, but he has been one of the most right-wing chancellors since the Second World War. Brown has thrown open markets, let foreign interests buy British firms en masse, let the housing market explode, allowed income inequality to rocket. The rich have become richer under Brown than they ever were under the Tories.'
Iain MacWhirter in the Herald, 6 th September 2006.
