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

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

Labour’s tax hikes and reckless borrowing stoked inflation, and Andy Burnham has already made billions of pounds of spending commitments without any plan to pay for them.

The cuts to the Digital ID card budget are not real because the money was never provided in the first place.

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.
