A Labour parliamentary candidate has called Gordon Brown the worst prime minister Britain has had.
According to the Lynn News newspaper, North West Norfolk candidate Manish Sood said: "Immigration has gone up which is creating friction within communities. The country is getting bigger and messier.
"The role of ministers has gone bureaucratic and the action of ministers has gone downhill - it is corrupt.
"I believe Gordon Brown has been the worst prime minister we have had in this country. It is a disgrace and he owes an apology to the people and the Queen."
Asked in a TV interview whether he stood by the comments, Mr Sood replied: "Absolutely, yes.
"Obviously this is a very serious matter because we have a Prime Minister standing so close to the General Election and things are going totally wrong, and it's a real disaster for the cities, the country and the nation."
But Mr Sood did praise Mr Brown for lowering interest rates for mortgage owners.
