The Conservatives’ Parliamentary Candidate for Lincoln, Karl McCartney JP, has heralded new figures from the Office for National Statistics which show that the economy grew more strongly last year than previously thought.
This is part of a hat-trick of good news – with new figures also showing consumer confidence is at its highest level in over 12 years, and that living standards are now higher than in May 2010.
Karl McCartney JP said: “Today we can celebrate a hat-trick of good news about the British economy and with 37 days to go the General Election, it’s another sign that changing course would put our recovery at risk.
“We’ve had a significant upgrade to GDP, the highest consumer confidence for over 12 years and confirmation that living standards are higher than they were at the last General Election. This is good news for families and businesses across our City, County and Country.
“So voters in Lincoln now face a clear choice: do we stick with a plan which is working, delivering growth and jobs, or do we put all that at risk with Ed Miliband and a Labour Party whose policies of more spending, more borrowing and higher taxes will lead to economic chaos.
