The whispers of unrest in the Treasury seem to be growing with many people suggesting the Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling have had a major fall out. If the rumours are correct, Darling has threatened to walk out of the government on three occasions over the past 6 months after being undermined by Gordon Brown on a number of issues.
Prior to taking his position at the Treasury, Alistair Darling was seen as one of Gordon Brown’s closest allies, a man he could depend upon in any situation, however times have changed.

Brown has also been demanding a more hands on approach to the Treasury, even though he often kept Tony Blair in the dark when he was Chancellor.
