David Cameron has apologised for his party’s mistakes on the economy. The Tory leader said he was sorry he had got some things wrong and said that politicians needed to admit past mistakes if they were to built public trust and lead the economic recovery. He added that opposition members as well as ministers should admit their failings, and has called on the government to admit the recession was not ‘imported from abroad’ and that ministers allowed debt levels to get out of control and failed to regulate banks properly.
