Brown to keep spending despite recession - Balls

Posted: Mon 29 Jun 2009 6 38 am

Gordon Brown is to reject warnings about the scale of the public debt and press on with high levels of spending through the recession, according to the Prime Minister's closest ally Ed Balls.

Mr Brown's determination to boost spending on frontline services will be underlined with the launch of his much vaunted national plan for public services on Monday.

His Building Britain's Future document includes a number of proposals which will require significant Government spending.

Isn't the definition of insanity doing the same wrong-headed action again, hoping that this time it'll have a different result?
