Building a Britain with Full Employment

Today the Prime Minister will outline the Conservatives’ second manifesto theme – building a Britain with full employment – with five clear commitments:

·         Encourage enterprise and back small business, keeping jobs taxes low and cutting red tape.

·         Invest in infrastructure to attract business and good jobs across the whole of the UK.

·         Continue getting British people back to work by controlling immigration and delivering a robust welfare system for EU migrants.

·         Reward work, help people into a job and lower the benefit cap.

·         Create 3 million new apprenticeships so young people get the skills to succeed.

We have had a tough few years as a country, but we are coming out the other side. We are the jobs factory of Europe – creating more jobs here than the rest of Europe put together – and are committed to building a Britain with full employment.

This is what that means in human terms: it means more of our fellow men and women with the security of a regular wage; it means you, your family and your children having a job and a better future.

That’s what our long-term economic plan means for you – and if you vote Conservative, we can stay on this road to a stronger economy. 

Like EVERY Labour govt before, in 2010 Labour left unemployment HIGHER (by half a million) - @Conservatives have got 1.75M MORE into work

Locally there is much to be done. Wakefield MDC over the years has carried out a lot of internal recruitment at taxpayers expense but has performed poorly in supporting local small businesses and the economies of the Five Towns. In other parts of the country even in areas that have faced industrial decline, local authorities have been much more effective in supporting local enterprise and generating jobs growth,

Wakefield has a way to go and part of the problem comes from the lack of commercial savvy that elected Labour members have to challenge and ensure money is well spent and leverage jobs growth.

We also are poorly supported by our local Labour MP who seems to be more about self promotion in the Labour Party than supporting our communities, its time that changed.
