Germany's finance minister has launched an outspoken attack on Gordon Brown's economic recovery plan.
Peer Steinbrueck said the Government was 'tossing around billions' and was getting the country into so much debt it would take a generation to work off.
His remarks added to the prime minister's humiliation after he caused gales of laughter in the Commons when, in a slip of the tongue, he said: 'We saved the world'.
In an unusual breach of diplomatic etiquette, Mr Steinbrueck said that tipping the UK into record levels of debt was 'breathtaking' and 'crass' and was repeating the same mistake that created the crisis.
Britain has poured £37billion into recapitalising its banks, and Chancellor Alistair Darling made £20billion of tax cuts in his Pre-Budget Report, leading to a national debt next year of £118billion.
His remarks come ahead of today's EU summit meeting in Brussels, when Mr Brown will come face to face with German chancellor Angela Merkel.

The only thing worse than a Socialist is an arrogant fucking Socialist, and our non elected one eyed half wit certainly falls into that particular category.
Isn't it beyond the concept of reality that I can readily find solitude in the words of a German, instead of those of the alleged "Prime Minister" of Great Britain.
Next Summer I do believe there may be genuine unrest on the streets of Britain, because of the one eyed mans politics of insanity, and no doubt the scum that are New labour will use that as perfect excuse to close parts of the Internet down.
Indeed Reverse, you never have to give the left any excuses to clamp down on the liberties they often bray about.
As for what that german fellow said of brownie, if you folks weren't so far down the crapper thanks to him, it'd be funny.
