A Labour parliamentary candidate has today dubbed Gordon Brown the worst prime minister Britain has had.
According to the Lynn News newspaper, North West Norfolk candidate Manish Sood said: “Immigration has gone up which is creating friction within communities. The country is getting bigger and messier.
“The role of ministers has gone bureaucratic and the action of ministers has gone downhill – it is corrupt.
“The loss of social values is the basic problem and this is not what the Labour Party is about.
“I believe Gordon Brown has been the worst prime minister we have had in this country.
“It is a disgrace and he owes an apology to the people and the Queen.”
Coming so close to the election, Mr Sood's comments will come as a major blow to Mr Brown's bid to win a fourth term for Labour.
According to the newspaper, Mr Sood, 38, declared the Tory-held seat “unwinnable” from the start of the election campaign.
In the article, he promised to “get back to basics” and “clean up the system” if chosen to represent the area.
Mr Sood is reported to have said: “We have to get back to basics where people can leave their money outside for the milkman without it being stolen.”
The councillor also believes the Queen should have more respect and more say in British government decisions.
Mr Sood did praise Mr Brown for lowering interest rates for mortgage owner, however.
