Back to the future?

The Telegraph has a piece today (Brown and Darling revert to type) about the gloomy economic outlook leading Brown and Darling to retreat to their inner beliefs.

Unfortunately for us, these are the very beliefs which the Tory party had to fight so hard to discredit in the Thatcher years.

Putting right the effects of 40 odd years of Keynesian consensus was a long, painful and divisive process. Thatcher had the necessary iron character to do so, it remains to be seen whether the same can be said of Cameron.
