Via sharethefacts.conservatives.com, “the choice at the next election in 80 seconds”: The election in May is the most important in a generation, and the choice couldn’t be clearer. It’s between the competence of the Conservatives, with a long-term economic plan that is securing a better future for Britain – or the chaos of a weak Labour leader propped up by who-knows-what minor party.

George Osborne yesterday told Eurozone leaders that Britain would not contribute to a special bailout facility that they are establishing at the IMF, specifically to bolster the single currency. The Eurozone nations had been hoping to build a €200bn warchest but Britain’s refusal to participate means it has fallen well short. via Now it’s Osborne’s turn to say “no” to Europe The Tory Diary.

  •   Comments Off on George Osborne: A New British Economic Model

A good speech from George Osborne: We should not be satisfied with turning back the clock to how things were before the crisis, or we risk simply pumping the bubble back up. That would mean failing to understand a crucial insight that has become increasingly clear – that the model of economic growth pursued over the last ten years is fundamentally broken. We can no longer rely on cheap borrowing from China and the rest of Asia to fund our […]

George Osborne’s message today was realistic and hopeful, full of promise, not just on the economy, but as a philosophy to renew Britain: Before us lies a tough task. Before us lie difficult decisions. We have shown the courage to face up to those in government before and we will show the same courage again. But I want to tell you something else. I want to tell you what makes our Party great. In this Conservative Party, we are optimists […]
