Gordon Brown’s premiership has become the Trabant of British politics: we had to wait 10 years for delivery, then it fell apart after less than six months.

For all Tony Blair’s Education, Education, Education in 1997, this was his legacy on leaving office as PM and Gordon Brown’s inheritance:
“The UK is above average in a major international league table on school science – but it has slipped compared to its previous top-four ranking.”

“The reading performance of children in England has fallen from third to 19th in the world in a major assessment.”

Since 1997, spending on the NHS has tripled and this is the outcome:
“Britain’s National Health Service remains a ‘mediocre’ provider of healthcare, performing much less well than almost all of the UK’s peers in western Europe, according to a European survey.”

So much for Lord Darzi’s claim that the NHS is “the envy of the world”.
