Jones: An empty budget

Commenting on today’s Budget statement, Clwyd West MP, David Jones, said:

“This was an empty Budget, proving that Labour has no ideas, no energy and no plans to get the economy moving.

“There was nothing in this Budget except political positioning. The Chancellor came up with no credible plans to deal with the debt and no serious plans to boost growth.  All the spending decisions have been put off until after the general election, and all the big tax rises concealed in the small print.

“The only new policies were ones stolen from the Conservatives, like the stamp duty cut and the funding of new university places.

“Today was the day that time ran out for Labour.

“Only the Conservatives now have the energy, leadership and ideas to cut the deficit and get Britain working.”
