Message from David Cameron
We’ve come a long way since 2010. When Labour left office, Britain had a record budget deficit, a welfare system that didn’t reward work and unemployment had increased by nearly half a million.
But today, Britain is moving in the right direction. That’s because the Conservatives have a long-term plan to help hardworking people.
Our plan has brought the deficit down and employment up. We’re also helping you and your family by:
- Cutting income tax for 25 million people – which has already saved the typical taxpayer £590 a year
- Helping businesses create an extra 1.4 million private sector jobs
- Keeping mortgage rates low – just a one per cent rise would increase the average family’s mortgage by £1,000
- Fixing the welfare system by rewarding work – so that nobody on benefits is better off than the average family in work
- Cutting net immigration by nearly a third – taking pressure off schools and hospitals
- Improving education and creating 1.5 million new apprenticeships
But there’s still much to be done.
This week, I’m on a trade visit to China, helping Britain to compete and get ahead in the global race.
And on Thursday, George Osborne will deliver the Autumn Statement, which will continue our long-term plan for hardworking people.
For now, please join Team 2015 – and help us win the next election.
Thanks,
David Cameron
