Gordon Brown continues to scare anyone with a brain

Can anyone remember why we thought that Gordon was a financial whiz kid?

By his own admission he wasn't any good with numbers.

He's now wondering if £175 billion is a big number.

Landlords should be very afraid over the next couple of years - do your own maths.

What is even more worrying is that when 'Mock the Week' researchers asked the Treasury spokesman to define whether the 'billion' figure was the US or UK definition, they pronounced it to be the UK definition ie a million million. Thankfully it turns out it is actually the US version ie a thousand million, which is a big relief, for everyone in the Treasury as we are 1000 times better off than they thought we were.

Even our self crowned, Stalinist, preacher boy could work that one out. Power to the dictator.
