George Osborne has used the financial crisis to attack the Prime Minister.

From the BBC ::

George Osborne has accused Gordon Brown of planning a “spending splurge” that will saddle two generations with debt.

The shadow chancellor told the BBC attempts to “spend your way out of a recession” would only lead to “huge debt” and higher taxes in the future.

Instead the Tories would “target” tax help such as freezing council tax and payroll tax for small firms.

The prime minister says it is responsible to boost spending to “speed up economic activity”.

Instead of heavy public spending, Mr Osborne said the Conservatives would “put money direct into people’s pockets” by freezing council and business taxes.
