GREAT NEWS FOR THE ECONOMY WITH THE CONSERVATIVES

Ben Gummer and his colleagues in government are enabling the UK economy to steam ahead.

UK plc is the fastest growing country in the west  -2.6% in 2014, the highest growth since 2007, and bigger than the USA.

All the major sectors of the UK economy are picking up in growth  -manufacturing, construction and the dominant services sector have shown this week a rebound in their acceleration, with employment levels continuing to rise, according to Markit/CIPS.

The rate of shop vacancies across the country stood at 13.3% at the end of last year, down from a February 2012 peak of 14.6%, according to the Local Data Company.

Retail prices are on a downward trend with petrol, food, fashion and energy all cheaper than a year ago. Food prices are 0.5% lower than last year, electricals are down 7.5% and fashion by 6.8%.

None of this is happening by accident  -it is because of the hard decisions made by Ben Gummer and his colleagues which is bringing about economic success.

Meanwhile business is blasting Ed Miliband for Labour’s anti-business rhetoric. For example the former boss of M&S, Sir Stuart Rose says that this attitude of would lead to ‘shuttered shop fronts, empty high streets and lengthening dole queues’. On Labour’s plans to raise Corporation Tax, Sir Stuart says it would ‘see British jobs being lost overseas’.

We are creating 1047 jobs every day. When Ed Miliband was advisor to Gordon Brown, there were 25 jobs lost every day.

No-one can be left in any doubt  -  a vote for Ed Miliband’s candidate or any of the other minor parties would lead to a financial crisis of an unpredictable scale & a political car crash. However by voting for Ben Gummer you can be sure of your family’s long term financial security & prosperity.
