More Lib dem lies ?

LibDem scare stories quashed by Mayor

A Liberal Democrat campaign against up to 70,000 new homes in Chessington has been dismissed “scaremongering”, reports the Surrey Comet. Boris Johnson told a recent question time session at Richard Challenor School that he did not support building on the greenbelt. A Labour spokesman said that she “hated this stupid campaigning style of the Lib Dems”.

This Week

 This week, the amount of money people will be able to receive without paying income tax on it rises to £10,000.
Corporation tax is being reduced to 21%, alongside cuts to employers' National Insurance contributions and changes to business rates.
Employment is growing three times faster than any recovery on record,  "it's no good creating jobs if we're also paying people to stay on welfare"

Backing businesses by cutting their taxes so they can create jobs, cutting the tax on hard-working people so their job pays, and holding back welfare rises and imposing more conditions on those claiming the dole, so that getting a job pays more."
Hard working people should know that thanks to their sacrifices this Government has been able  to turn around the Financial  mess left by the last Labour Government. 
Thanks to the leadership of todays Government we have not followed  the likes of Spain  and Greece with massive unemployment. We have put more people back to work thus ensuring a long term stability for our Nation, 
The job is not yet done we have a way to go to correct the mismanagement of our Country by the Labour Government  but with your patients  and help we will get there.

There will be a vote on the Government’s Charter for Budget Responsibility today.


There will be a vote on the Government’s Charter for Budget Responsibility today.

At the Budget, the Chancellor updated the Charter for Budget Responsibility so we continue to reduce the deficit as part of our long-term economic plan – helping to build a stronger, more competitive economy and secure a better future for Britain.

By voting for our updated plan to reduce the deficit and cap welfare, Labour would be making a promise that they intend to break in office – because their actual policy is to borrow more and spend more, including on welfare. That’s exactly how they got us into a mess in the first place. And despite voting for the welfare cap, Labour are promising to breach it in office by restoring the spare room subsidy – a welfare spending rise.

Nothing will change – it’s the same old Labour with no plan to secure Britain’s future.

Other lines

SSE have announced they will freeze energy prices until 2016 as a result of cuts to green taxes
As SSE say themselves, the Government's decision to cut the taxes that add to energy bills was the “principal factor in SSE being able to make this price commitment”.

The only long-term way to keep hardworking families’ energy bills down is to cut the taxes that add to those bills and increase competition in the market through our annual test.

Ed Miliband’s policy is a short-term, political fix that would lead to higher bills, meaning less financial security for hardworking people.

Budget 2014



Today I set out my Budget for building a resilient economy.
It is part of our long-term economic plan - a plan that is delivering economic security for families up and down the country.
We have come a long way. The independent forecasts show growth is up, jobs are up, and the deficit is down. But the job is far from done. I haven't shied away from telling the British people about the difficult decisions we face. And just because things are getting better now, I haven't shied away from it today either.
The deficit is down by a third, and in the coming year it will be down by a half. But it is still one of the highest in the world - so we are taking action to bring the deficit down further.
Investment and exports are up. But we've got twenty years of catching up to do - so I have backed businesses who invest and export.
Manufacturing halved under Labour, with all bets on the City of London. But manufacturing is growing again, and jobs are being created across the country - and we're doing everything we can to support that.
And while as a nation we're getting on top of our debts, for many decades Britain has borrowed too much and saved too little. So today, I have made sure hardworking people keep more of what they earn - and of what they save. Support for savers is at the centre of this Budget.
With the help of the British people we're turning the economy around. Our goal is economic security for the families of Britain - and today, with this Budget, we take another step towards it.

Support your local shops


The butcher at the end of the road, the local pub, the factory on the outskirts of town.
It’s small businesses like these that are creating jobs across the country, and giving more and more people the security of a pay packet each month.
We’re backing them wherever we can: cutting the jobs tax, getting rid of red tape, improving the infrastructure which is vital to their business.
