At the next Election there will be a big choice about the change we want for Wirral and the Country as a whole, a choice that offers change for the many under Labour as opposed to change for the privileged few that the Conservatives offer, which is a change you can ill afford?

In his Pre Budget Report, Chancellor Alistair Darling set out a balanced package to protect the frontline services such as Schools, the Police and the NHS as well as invest in growth and half the deficit fairly in 4 years.

Our plan is to protect frontline public services – making them smarter, more efficient and more responsive.

The Tories’ plans would do lasting damage to our public services and involve scrapping Labour’s patient guarantees, including to cancer patients.

Our plan is to tax fairly – ensuring that those at the top make a fair contribution

The Tories plan to give unfunded and unfair tax cuts to the wealthiest – like their giveaway of £200,000 to each of the 3000 wealthiest estates.

Our plan is to invest in growth – because faster growth will cut unemployment and its cost. It is the best way to reduce the deficit.

The Tories’ plans would deliver a decade of austerity and low growth – their plans involve cutting support to the economy right now, leading to higher unemployment and bigger welfare bills. They would give over £10 billion in tax cuts to the wealthiest few.

Our plan means that we will fulfil our commitment to halve the deficit within 4 years.

We will secure growth – not pull the plug on economic recovery. When the recovery is secured we will halve the deficit in 4 years. We will tighten our belts, as families across the country are doing.
