In his spirited response to the Chancellor, David Cameron was right to shift the focus to Labour's 13-year record, for that is where we get the true measure of the Government's performance. When Gordon Brown arrived at the Treasury he inherited a deficit of £6 billion; it is now £167 billion. The UK was the seventh most competitive economy in the world; it is now 13th. It was the fourth most competitively taxed; it is now the 84th. It was the fourth most lightly regulated; it is now the 86th.

This is from the Telegraph editorial.
