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 leadership.

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.
Labour's tax rises and business bashing have driven the cost of living higher and higher, yet Andy Burnham refuses to rule out yet more tax hikes at the Budget.
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.
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.
