Labour's tax and debt bombshells are taking Britain to the brink of bankruptcy. Their answer to the crisis is yet more borrowing. It is clear the longer Labour is in power, the worse the economic situation will become. They are part of the problem, not the solution.

The real challenge in this credit crunch is to get credit flowing again. That is why we have proposed a £50 billion National Loan Guarantee Scheme to get lending going and protect jobs. And we will freeze council tax and reduce taxes on savings to help the victims of the recession.

Five Conservative measures to help victims of the recession:

We will

• Abolish income tax on savings for basic rate taxpayers and raise the pensioners' personal allowance by £2,000 to £11,490
  
• Get credit flowing and save jobs with a £50 billion National Loan Guarantee Scheme
  
• Help small businesses with cash flow by delaying VAT bills for six months.
  
• Freeze council tax for two years by cutting wasteful Government spending.
  
• Get companies hiring again through reducing employment costs for small businesses by cutting National Insurance, and through a tax break for new jobs.

And over the long term we will get the public finances back under control with an Office for Budget Responsibility so no Labour Government can ever bankrupt this country again.

So there you have it!

We, your Chipping Norton branch committee urge you to join us now. Become a member, help us with canvassing, delivering our literature etc, and we would ask that you make a difference by making this commitment TODAY.

Thanks
