It makes political sense on this for them to clinch Gordon and not let him get any punches off. Why should we do the same when we were right and they were wrong? We should be shouting about this from the roof tops. Simon The Tories are caving because it’s bankers that they have coddled that caused this and they have a history of opposing sensible regulation.
