His history of the crash misses out the bit where Labour fractured the bank regulatory system, worked hand-in-glove with bankers to shape gvt policy, then began a massive, unsustainable debt-fuelled expansion of the state. https://t.co/aiM3qTpKg5

When you and your partner put on a 100 run partnership but you know it'll all count for nothing because Trump's in next and he averages 4.31
