Squandered: How Gordon Brown Is Wasting Over One Trillion Pounds of Our Money. David Craig - Softcover
Synopsis
Over the last ten years, New Labour has boosted public spending by around a trillion pounds - that's £1,000,000,000,000 of our taxes - over £50,000 for every household in Britain. But what have we got for our money? Effective and responsive public services that are the envy of the world? Or the creation of a vast, self-serving bureaucracy that has presided over the greatest waste of money in British history?
With so much money, a tsunami of extra cash, being thrown at public services - health, education, policing, defence, social services and public administration - there have been some successes. Nevertheless, the results of the Government's tidal wave of extra spending have been worse than pitiful.
In department after department, it is the same sorry story - a triple whammy of incompetence, cover-up and cuts that have all but decimated public services, while those responsible have lavished money and honours on themselves.
David Craig exposes the sometimes tragic, sometimes comic story of how New Labour's years of mismanagement have led to a bureaucratization of Britain that has squandered almost unimaginable amounts of taxpayers' money, caused irreparable damage to all our lives and rewarded the man responsible with the keys to Number 10.

That's over E50,000 for every household in Britain. And what have they achieved? Effective and responsive public services that are the envy of the world?

New Statesman 'If I were Sir Gus O'Donnell or Gordon Brown, or indeed Tony Blair, I would invite Craig into Whitehall to reveal the many ingenious ways taxpayers have been compelled to provide welfare for the wealthy.'
