Gordon Brown "cannot hide" from his responsibility for Britain's economic woes, Tory leader David Cameron said as the gloves came off in the political debate over the credit crunch.

Mr Cameron said his party's support for the Prime Minister's bank bail-out did not mean he backed its wider economic policies which had been clearly exposed as "a complete and utter failure".

Dismissing suggestions the present crisis spelled the end of the free market and centre-right economic solutions, he said the Tories would inject responsibility to the system. And he hit out at "unsustainable" immigration-fuelled growth and the demise of manufacturing jobs .
