Mel Stride: “Putting Benefits Street first leaves the economy weaker.”

The Conservative party must continue to champion an approach which is both radical and deliverable … The Conservatives have a good story to tell on this now, and one that I know will continue to grow stronger and stronger under Kemi’s…

That is a worrying sign, we need to have a government which is on top of the public finances, not one that is making lots of spending commitments without explaining where the money is going to come from.

Labour need to realise that it’s their poor decisions which have stifled growth and made the cost of living worse.

I fear that he is somewhat captive to a prime minister who seems to want to go back to the 1970s and huge spending and state intervention.
