Proceeding contribution from Gordon Brown (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 March 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Spring European Council.


Spring European Council

I have never heard an Opposition who want to talk the country down as much as this Opposition. During this whole exchange, we have had anti-European after anti-European speaking. Now, on this occasion, we have a pro-European who is now becoming anti-European as a result of things that are happening. When markets fail and banks are unable to do their job, Governments have got to step in. That is the philosophy under which we are working, and I wish it was the philosophy of the Conservative party, too.
