Cardiff South & Penarth is working. Don't let the Tories wreck it again
Britain is working with two million more jobs and unemployment at its lowest level since 1975.
With a record number of people in work we’ve reached a major milestone in our journey as a Labour government to deliver full employment in every part of Britain.
Britain now has the highest employment and lowest unemployment of any of the major (G8) world economies.
Since 1997 unemployment has fallen by 1,832 in Cardiff South & Penarth. In Wales 132 new businesses have started up on average every week.
Today’s families face competing pressures as they strive to balance work and family life. Labour understands that flexible and affordable childcare is essential for working parents trying to achieve that balance.
7,000 people have benefited from the Labour’s Tax Credits in Cardiff South & Penarth. In Wales at least 90,000 people benefited from the most recent rise in the National Minimum wage helping families in Cardiff South & Penarth.
Britain has come too far and worked too hard for us to allow the Conservatives to wreck it again. When Michael Howard was a Minister in the Conservative Government, he introduced the poll tax, interest rates were at 15 per cent for a whole year, 1.5 million households suffered negative equity and over 150,000 families lost their homes.
