Cameron set to thwart Brown’s IMF ambitions
The British Prime Minister said Mr Brown was not the “most appropriate person” to take over as managing director of the IMF because he failed to understand the dangers of excessive debt.
His intervention raised the prospect of a British veto amid heightened speculation that Mr Brown is emerging as a leading contender to take over from Dominique Strauss- Kahn who is deciding whether to be the socialist candidate in the French presidential elections next year.
