Darling: Eurozone plan 'will not work'

Advertisement

Former Chancellor Alistair Darling has said that the time has come to recognise that "the economic policies that the eurozone are perusing will not work".

Speaking to the Today programme's Evan Davis, he said that the Eurozone has signed up to a "daft treaty" that requires them to impose austerity "which is killing off growth".

"Without growth you never will get your borrowing down," he said.
