There are 29 days to go until election day
The choice is clear in this election which has been called a battle for Britain's soul.
The Conservatives have a positive, dynamic vision for Britain.
A Conservative majority will:
Key things to remember throughout this campaign:
A Conservative Government can unleash Britain’s potential. Investing in our NHS with 40 new hospitals, cutting crime with 20,000 more police, introducing an Australian style points based immigration system, and giving businesses and families the economic certainty they need to plan for the future with confidence.
The choice is clear in this election which has been called a battle for Britain's soul.
The Conservatives have a positive, dynamic vision for Britain.
A Conservative majority will:
- Make it easier to see your GP – under a majority Conservative government, there will be 50 million more appointments in GP surgeries, more GPs, more pharmacists and easier ways to book appointments.
- Introduce a new visa to attract the best doctors and nurses to work in our NHS and provide high-quality care transforming the experience of patients.
- Invest in infrastructure and level up opportunities across the country.
- Support our fantastic British drink producers like Scotch whisky distilleries – another example of the Conservatives delivering for the Scotland whilst the SNP are fixated on another independence referendum.
Key things to remember throughout this campaign:
- The choice at this election is between a majority Conservative government that will end the paralysis and confusion in Parliament, get Brexit done, and let the country move on OR a hung Parliament bringing more confusion and Corbyn in Downing Street.
- Only the Conservatives can win a majority – we only need to win nine more seats to end the gridlock in Parliament.
- It is most unlikely that Jeremy Corbyn could win a majority but in a hung parliament he would be propped up by the SNP. Under Corbyn 2020 would be lost to the chaos of another two referendums – one on Brexit and another on Scottish independence.

Just saying
His Copeland visit was relevant to his portfolio - Gavin met Trudy outside Whitehaven Academy where his department is funding the long-overdue rebuilding for which the school had already been kept waiting for far too long when I was appointed to the governing body a decade ago at the tail end of the last Labour government.
Interesting you say that they met outside WA, where planning permission is yet to be given btw, but don't mention that they both went inside for a briefing from the Respect, Responsibility and Resilence team.
"Always good to be with @CopelandTories
’s Trudy Harrison & great to be able to visit @whitehavenacad with her today.
I wonder if a ministerial visit with a candidate in tow is really in the spirit of the purdah rules. One for the cabinet office ethics team perhaps?
The words "Whataboutism" or "Whataboutery" are usually used to describe the tactic of trying to deflect a specific criticism of yourself or your candidate, without answering it, by saying "whatabout" and then pointing to something that an opponent has done and arguing that they are as bad or worse.
I wasn't trying to criticise anyone else, I was answering the criticism by pointing out that making campaign visits with a candidate is neither against the rules nor against custom and practice. That isn't the same thing
