David Cameron writes about the campaign

The Prime Minister writes:



"Five years ago, millions of people were unemployed, there was no economic security for our families and there were worries about whether our country could pay its debt.
Britain was on the brink.

Five years later, because of our long-term economic plan and the difficult decisions we have taken, we have more people in work than at any time in our history, living standards are on the rise and we are more economically secure.

Of course we haven't fixed everything, but Britain is back on its feet again.

1000 jobs are being created every single day. 760,000 more businesses have started up.

Last year our economy grew faster than any other major advanced economy in the world - meaning more people getting that job offer and more families hopeful of a better future.

This election also takes place at a time when the world is dangerous and uncertain.

So we need strong leadership to safeguard our national security as well as our economic security.

That's why in 38 days' time, Britain faces a stark choice.

You can choose an economy that grows, that creates jobs, that generates the money to ensure a properly funded and improving NHS - as well as a Government that will cut taxes for 30 million hardworking people.

Or you can choose the economic chaos of Ed Miliband's Britain - over £3000 in higher taxes for every working family to pay for more welfare and out-of-control spending. Debt will rise and jobs will be lost as a result.

Ed Miliband pays lip service to working people while planning to hike taxes and increase debt.

After five years of effort and sacrifice, Britain is on the right track. This election is about moving forward - and as Prime Minister, that is what I will deliver.

So today I'm asking you to help me - to join Team2015, our volunteer network, and play your part in the most important election in a generation.

Thank you,


David Cameron"

But the conservative party have racked up more debt in 5 years than even "he whom shall not be named" managed to rack up in 13.

that's hardly putting the UK on the right track

It's much easier to get borrowing and debt on course to go through the ceiling than to turn it around.

The deficit has been reduced by a third in absolute terms and by half as a share of GDP. The economy is recovering, and as it grows both those figures will improve. The job is by no means done but there is progress.

Nick Herbert on his visit to flood hit areas of Cumbria

Please note that the post below was published more than ten year ago on 21st November 2009 Nick Herbert MP, shadow cabinet member for the Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs, was in Cumbria this morning to see the areas affected by the flooding. He writes on Conservative Home about his visit. Here is an extract. I’ve been in Cumbria today to see the areas affected by the floods. I arrived early in Keswick where I met officials from the Environment Agency. Although the river levels had fallen considerably and homes were no longer flooded, the damage to homes had been done. And the water which had got into houses wasn’t just from the river – it was foul water which had risen from the drains. I talked to fire crews who were pumping flood water back into the river, and discovered that they were from Tyne & Wear and Lancashire. They had been called in at an hours’ notice and had been working on the scene ever since, staying at a local hotel. You cannot fail to be impressed by the

"Wise men profit more from fools than fools from wise men; for the wise men shun the mistakes of fools, but fools do not imitate the successes of the wise."  ( Cato the Elder , who lived 234 BC - 149 BC, quoted in "Lives" by Plutarch.) There is a similar saying by Germany's Iron Chancellor, Otto von Bismarck: Benjamin Franklin is supposed to have put the same saying in a more humorous form: "Wise men profit by the mistakes of others, while fools will not learn even from their own blunders." See also this thread on the "Quote Investigator" website . Let us all be wise and learn from the events of the last few days.

Quote of the day 24th July 2020

I was moved to put the passage below forward as a quote today when I saw a horrible post on twitter from someone writing that it was "excellent" that someone who took a different view from her about Brexit had died. I won't write which way round it was so that all the Remain supporters can assume the post was from a Brexit fanatic welcoming the death of a remainer and all the Leavers can assume it was a Remainiac welcoming one less Brexiteer. There's been plenty of nasty stuff on both sides but if you catch anyone of your own viewpoint  posting something like that who might listen to you, please do call them out on it - and point out that they're giving everyone on your side of the argument a bad name. Anyway, here's the quote from John Donne.
