Karl McCartney JP has applauded today’s announcement that a future Conservative Government would help businesses create 2 million more jobs by 2020.
When the Conservatives came into government in 2010, unemployment had rocketed. Labour left almost half a million more people unemployed, meaning many families were looking to the future, scared and unsure of what was to come.
Five years on, by working through the Government’s long-term economic plan and backing business with lower jobs taxes and better infrastructure, there are now 1.9 million more jobs and more people in work in our Country than ever before.
Karl McCartney JP said: “Over the last five years we have created 1,000 jobs a day – that’s more jobs created here than the rest of Europe combined.
“In my Lincoln Constituency alone we have cut unemployment by over a third – a fantastic achievement.
“And just this morning, for instance, the Society of Motor Manufacturers & Traders have announced £1 billion of new investment this week in Britain’s car industry – meaning thousands more jobs.
“This is a clear vote of confidence in this Government’s long-term economic plan with nine figure investments from companies as diverse as Honda, Jaguar Land Rover and the London Taxi Company.
“It means more cars coming off the production line, factories expanding and - most importantly - more people getting into work.
“But I want us to do even more and if we Conservatives are re-elected we will keep on creating 1,000 jobs a day – 2 million more jobs in the next five years.
“The choice is simple: we go back to square one and the days of economic incompetence and high unemployment under Labour. Or vote Conservative and finish what we have begun.
“We are the jobs party and over the next month, I will be fighting for every man and woman in Lincoln who wants to work and earn a wage.”
