Brown says "recovery hasn't started"
The Telegraph: Government to sell off £16 billion of assets
'We need a deficit reduction plan that supports growth and jobs not one that snuffs out recovery before it has started,'' Mr Brown is to say.

Two years after it started, the recovery is still 'six months away' ...
When it gets to ten years, we'll know something went wrong.

£16 billion of assets:
... is that mark to market?
... or mark to model (aka mark to fantasy) ?

Phew, first article of the day, as the site has been down all day I was beginning to think it had been knobbled by the Brown Stasi.
With regard to the £16bn I doubt that it will be worth that and with some of the 'assets' being owned by local authorities I imagine there will be a few court cases flying around of they are going to be mis-appropriated by central government.
I have also noted the subtle change of tone with regards to recovereh and the growing number of news stories indicating quite the contrary since the middle of last week.

Gordon Brown rubbing hands together gleefully: "Goody goody! Another 16 bill to spend".

I wonder how much of that will be land/property/MoD estates?
Not going to help with the supply issues is it?
