London - The British Chancellor, Mr Gordon Brown, got a dressing down yesterday after Christian Aid launched a poster campaign showing him in his underpants.

The poster features all seven G7 ministers in suits but no trousers. Instead they are sporting colourful underpants based on their national flags and the tag line reads: "All mouth - End Third World Debt now".

A Christian Aid spokesman, Mr Dominic Nutt, said: "This poster is the metaphor that while they have made some reasonable promises on debt relief, unfortunately it's not enough to save the lives in Africa of 19,000 babies a day. The G7 are all mouth and no trousers."
