Today at Prime Minister's Questions, David Cameron ruled out raising VAT if the Conservatives win the election.
In stark contrast, Ed Miliband refused to rule out an increase in National Insurance - the tax on jobs - confirming that he is planning a tax rise that would cost jobs and hit hardworking taxpayers.

We’re standing up to extremists.
British values such as democracy, free speech and respect for minorities unite us.
They ensure that every person living in our country is free to lead their life as they choose. But you have to respect other people’s rights to do so too – we have responsibilities as well as rights.
So when extremists reject these values, we will tackle them head on.
We’re building a new partnership of everyone who wants to defeat extremism. It will include:
- New powers to ban groups and tackle extremists – stopping them spreading their message
- Making sure people who apply for British citizenship respect our values
- More help for people to learn English, with less funding for translation and more for language training
Our values are superior to anything the extremists offer. By proudly promoting British values, we’ll defeat extremism – and secure a better future for our country.

A deal between Labour and the SNP - the only way Ed Miliband can get into power - would give Alex Salmond the veto over every Budget, every law, every vote.
Mr Salmond would, in his own words, 'call the tune'.
And ordinary families would pay the price with higher taxes, more debt and weaker defences as the SNP try to scrap Trident, our independent nuclear deterrent.

Hardworking taxpayers would pay the price of a Labour-SNP deal, as this important story shows:

With Labour facing wipeout in Scotland, a deal with the SNP - the party who want to break up Britain - is the only way Ed Miliband can get into power.
And that would mean higher taxes, more debt and weaker defences as the SNP try to scrap Trident, our independent nuclear deterrent.

A deal with the SNP now seems to be Ed Miliband's only route to power. That would mean Alex Salmond propping up the weak Labour leader, and - in Mr Salmond's own words - able to "call the tune".
SHARE this film to let friends know that a Labour-SNP deal would mean chaos for Britain - and that the only way to stop it is to vote Conservative.
If Labour win the next election, they will increase borrowing by £138 billion in just four years.
Since 2010 we’ve made great progress as a country, with the economy growing, wages now rising, and our national debt as a share of GDP forecast to fall in the coming year.
But Labour would put that economic stability – and the livelihoods of millions of people – at risk.
Official analysis by the Treasury of Labour’s policy shows that a future Labour government would:
- Mean the national debt as a share of GDP rising again in 2016-17
- Borrow £137.8 billion more in just four years
- Pay £5.7 billion more in debt interest payments alone
- Burden every taxpayer in Britain with £4,600 more borrowing
As these figures show, you can’t trust Labour on the economy. They have no plan other than more spending, more borrowing and more debt. That would wreck the economy and hardworking taxpayers would pay the price with higher taxes and less financial security.
It all means one thing: chaos.
SHARE the facts and let everyone know about Labour’s £138 billion borrowing bombshell – and that you can’t trust Labour on the economy.
We’re backing our great cities of the North by investing in transport.
Creating a Northern Powerhouse of jobs and investment is a key part of our long-term economic plan to secure a better future for the whole country.
That’s why we’re rolling out our Northern Transport Strategy – to deliver a world-class transport system that helps businesses grow, attracts investment and creates jobs.
Our new strategy will:
- Reduce journey times, raise capacity and link up major northern cities with investment in high speed rail
- Develop new east-west road connections, including a road tunnel under the Peak District
- Introduce Oyster-style smart travel cards and simpler fares across the North
It’s another step towards a Northern Powerhouse economy – to make the most of the economic potential of the North, deliver more good jobs, and secure a better future for hardworking families.

New figures from the Office of National Statistics show that employment is at an all-time high.
There are 1.9 million more people in work since 2010. That’s 1.9 million people with the security of a wage to provide for their families. (ONS, Labour Market Statistics, 18 Mar 2015)
The figures also show:
- Unemployment down 102,000 since the last election – its lowest level for seven years
- Youth unemployment down 196,000 since 2010 – with more opportunities for young people to get on in life
- Number of people claiming out of work benefits down to its lowest level for seven years – showing that our welfare reforms are helping people off benefits and into work
- Number of full-time jobs up 481,000 in the year – showing that the vast majority of new jobs are good-quality
- Number of women in work up 851,000 since 2010 – a new record
- Pay up 1.8% in the year – putting more money in people’s pockets, so families are more financially secure
As these figures show, our long-term economic plan is creating a record number of jobs. It’s also rewarding work, helping people off benefits, and securing a better future for families across the country.
With the election just weeks away, the choice facing Britain is clearer than ever.
On the one hand, chaos under Labour. They have no plan other than more spending, more borrowing and more taxes. That would wreck the economy and hardworking taxpayers would pay the price.
On the other, competence with the Conservatives. With employment at an all-time high, our plan is helping hardworking taxpayers across the country get on in life.
SHARE this post let’s keep the plan going – to create even more jobs, build a stronger economy, and secure a better future for Britain.
