step change

The Prime Minister has unveiled a plan to get Europe out of recession. If the other countries follow his lead then it could see a rise in output of up to £436 billion (4%).

"If we go for an increase of 5% employment across the board" he said "we can really make a difference. The resulting economic expansion can only be good for jobs and families."

When a Downing Street aide explained that the "Going for Growth" strategy was not intended to include inflation or inefficiency Nokia officials rubbed their hands in glee.
