A reminder from George Osborne
The Chancellor of the Exchequer writes ...
When we came into government, we were left a note by the Labour Party which said simply: "there's no money left".
I suppose it was meant as a joke. But there's nothing funny about the mismanagement of the public finances.
It cost people their jobs and their homes. It meant cuts to public services. It meant businesses didn't invest.
It threatened this country's economic stability and the economic security of everyone living here.
We came into government with a long-term economic plan to clear up the mess Labour left behind. We can see it is working:
Today, we have published analysis that uses Treasury costings of Labour's policies. It shows that they would borrow £20.7 billion more in 2015/16 alone.
That is the equivalent of £1,200 more borrowing for every working household.
It would put our recovery at risk and return Britain to economic chaos.
We can't let that happen - and we need your help today:
The choice at the next election is clear.
Continue on the road to a stronger economy with a competent Conservative team that have a long-term plan.
Or choose the chaos of Labour's £20.7 billion unfunded spending promises, higher taxes and more borrowing which would take us back to square one.
So please donate today to help us work through our plan, build a stronger economy and secure a better future for Britain.
Yours,

We came into government with a long-term economic plan to clear up the mess Labour left behind. We can see it is working:
- At 5 per cent of GDP, our deficit is down by a half
- 1.75 million more people have the security of a job
- Last year, Britain was the fastest growing major advanced economy
