From a population of under five million; 417,000 enlisted, 332,000 served overseas, 152,000 were wounded and 61,000 never came home. It was sacrifice on a stupendous scale. After the Armistice, we vowed never to...

As part of this year’s centenary to mark the outbreak of World War One, hundreds of thousands of ceramic poppies now surround the Tower of London. It is an incredible sight, with each poppy planted to represent a British soldier who lost their life during this conflict.

As a Party we can be proud that not only have we tackled the largest peacetime deficit but we have also sorted the defence budget.

Your Majesties,Your Royal Highnesses,Ladies and Gentlemen, The great economist John Maynard Keynes once wrote: “If economists could manage to get themselves thought of as humble, competent people on a level with dentists, that would be splendid.” 83 years and much research later, we would perhaps aspire to be compared with “meteorologists” or “doctors”, whose scientific acco...
