The Chancellor has put forward the Charter of Budget Responsibility, which sets out a clear 
timetable to get the current budget into balance by 2017/18.
In the meantime the two Ed’s continue their shift to the left producing the failed policies of old Labour – more taxes, more spending – whilst saying we need to reduce the deficit, but voting against the measures to bring it down!.
The contrast could not be more clear with the intervention by the head of the Institute for Fiscal Studies has warned that Labour’s policy for more borrowing risks adding £170 billion to the national debt by 2030. Heaping on more debt for future generations. We need to live within our means now.
This country has come a long way since Labour left us with one of the worst deficits in history. Labour haven’t learnt their lesson and give every indication they would make the same mistakes again given the chance.
Britain faces a choice this May – whether to stick to the competent, long-term plan that is turning our country around, or to put it at risk with the people who crashed the economy in the first place.
