The words of comrade Brown.

Gordon Brown said "Government must be more open and accountable to Parliament”. - unless it's likely to reflect badly on me, the party, our friends, business interests or we just feel like not letting you know what is going on.

Gordon Brown was accused of engineering a new Iraq cover-up yesterday by handing Whitehall departments the right to block the release of secret documents about the war.

Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg ambushed the Prime Minister in the Commons, angrily accusing him of trying to 'suffocate' the Chilcot Inquiry.

There you go, Gordon's version of open and accountable government.
