The Prime Minister has warned of the need for “steady and clear policies” to help the economy recover and said it would be “suicidal” to cut off the funding and investment for young people, families and businesses.
Speaking on the 80th anniversary of the Wall Street Crash, Gordon Brown said the battle to stop the current downturn becoming a second great depression is being won.
In his latest podcast, the PM also looked ahead to this week’s European Council meeting in Brussels, where European Union leaders will discuss jobs and support for businesses.
The PM said:
“What matters is what Europe does. We need a plan to further mobilise our resources in support of businesses and jobs, including an ambitious European Union target on apprenticeships for the future.”
The podcasts, which are available on our iTunes channel and YouTube, are recorded at Downing Street or around the world when the Prime Minister is travelling.
