The Chancellor writes

Chancellor of the Exchequer Phillip Hammond writes about the latest reason to vote Tory:

The Labour manifesto!

Conservatives

"Labour’s leaked manifesto makes it clear: while Theresa May wants to take our country forwards, Jeremy Corbyn wants to drag us backwards.

The stakes at this election just got higher. Donate to our campaign today if you don’t want to see our country going back to the 1970s with Corbyn.


Over the last few weeks, we have seen what a shambles a Corbyn-led government would be:
  • Jeremy Corbyn wants to lead the Brexit negotiations, but won’t confirm whether we would actually leave the European Union.
  • John McDonnell wants to run our economy, but describes himself as a Marxist.
  • Diane Abbott wants to be in charge of our police budget, but can’t count.

It may sound impossible, but with less than a month to go until the General Election there is a real chance that Corbyn and his comrades could be running our country come June 9th.

So don’t risk it. Donate to our campaign today and together let’s provide our country with the strong and stable leadership we need to see us through Brexit and beyond.



Thank you for your support,


Philip Hammond Chancellor of the Exchequer"

I thought the labour manifesto would be a complete disaster, but if i look through it, actually there are 3 key points even I agree with.

Improve conditions for care workers

No income tax rises for those earning below £80,000 a year.

Support the renewal of Trident.

the rest of them are so supidly off base they dont deserve a mention, but come on there are 3, so its not a complete wipeout.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day and even the Labour manifesto has a very small number of good ideas in it.

Whatever the manifesto says I would not trust a Corbyn government to renew Trident and if experience canvassing is anything to go by (including today) the people who work at BAE in Barrow don't trust him either.

The big problem is not necessarily all the individual ideas in the manifesto, it is how they would pay for the manifesto as a whole - and their ideas on that subject are an insult to the intelligence of the electorate.

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

Quotes of the day 19th August 2020

"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.
