George Osborne - My Fake Diary

Thursday, 5 July 2012

Gordon Brown's close inner circle was "clearly involved" in the lending rate fixing scandal, and my allegations were given dramatic weight by Bob Diamond! The ex-Barclays boss told MPs he believed "ministers in Whitehall" were behind the pressure on the banks that saw them artificially rig Libor rates.

Turning the heat up on Labour even further, I told The Spectator magazine: "As for the role of the Labour government and the people around Gordon Brown, I think there are questions to be asked of them!"

Cunning move eh? Ha ha ha! Spread the blame... by God I'm good at this job!
