War on Want: Mandelson 'not the right man'

Friday, 03, Oct 2008 12:00

John Hilary, executive director of War on Want, comments on today's reshuffle:

"Peter Mandelson has jeopardised the livelihoods of millions of working people through his reckless pursuit of deregulation. This is not the man we need to take over one of the UK’s most important ministries at a time of such financial turmoil.

"Mandelson failed to deliver the trade justice agenda that he promised when taking on his post in Brussels. Instead he followed a dangerous path of market liberalisation which has exposed millions of people to unemployment and long-term poverty."
