Conservative Party Conference has concluded in Manchester, where Kemi Badenoch showcased a united Conservative Party that is back in the service of the British public based on a clear plan for for a stronger economy and stronger borders.
- The Labour Party came into government with no plan because fundamentally, Keir Starmer is weak and has no backbone. Labour lied to the country to get elected; they took the wrong decisions when taxing jobs, cutting the winter fuel payment and cancelling the Rwanda deterrent. Now the economy is weaker, growth halved and our country living beyond its means – all whilst a border crisis wages on with record illegal entries into the UK.
- That is why, at Conservative Party Conference, the Conservatives set out our clear plan. For a stronger economy and stronger borders.
- For a stronger economy. We highlighted how Britain is living beyond its means, locked into high spend, high debt, and higher taxes. Britain deserves better than this. That's why we will abolish stamp duty on primary residences and introduce a 'golden rule' to get the deficit down and our economy back on track.
- For stronger borders. We set out our detailed, hard-edged plan to take control of our borders once and for all by leaving the ECHR executing the BORDERS plan and removing 750,000 illegal immigrants who have no right to be here.
- Only the Conservatives understand that we must live within our means to build a strong economy which provides for well-maintained public services; that for a secure and strong society, you need stronger borders. Too much tax and too much state intervention risks the UK entering a new Labour debt crisis, which would endanger jobs and public services for our children and grandchildren.
