Daily Mail
"Labour's boom years were down to 'luck' rather than Gordon Brown's
stewardship of the economy, Tony Blair has claimed...Mr Brown's
critics have long pointed out that he was lucky to inherit benign
public finances from the outgoing Tory government...John Major's
administration had achieved four years of growth with low inflation
before Mr Brown took office...Shadow Chancellor George Osborne
said: 'In one revealing sentence, Tony Blair has exposed the
damning truth about Gordon Brown's chancellorship."
