Financial Stability

Proceeding contribution from Colin Burgon (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 8 October 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Financial Stability.
Will the Chancellor put my fears to rest? I see the market putting its invisible hand into the pockets of the taxpayer, taking £50 billion away and perhaps putting up two fingers as well. Can we arrest that? Does he agree with me that, in the wider context, what the international crisis represents is the end of neo-liberal ideas about the supremacy of the market, and all that that means in the social and political spheres and every other sphere of our lives?
