In the last three days before polling day, the Prime Minister will be visiting every region in England and Wales. His tour will include visits to North Wales, West Yorkshire, Cheshire, Leicestershire, East Anglia and the South West.
Today, he’ll be in Yorkshire and the Humber, and the North East, where he’ll highlight that the only way to get Brexit done is to elect a Conservative majority government. In Leave-voting Sunderland, he’ll set out the choice that the voters are facing this week:
- Either we will have another hung parliament, with Jeremy Corbyn and Nicola Sturgeon conspiring to frustrate Brexit again. They’d waste next year on two referendums on Brexit and Scottish independence. Westminster and the country would be stuck in neutral, would be mired in more dither, delay and gridlock, unable to move forward.
- Alternatively, we can have a Conservative majority government. Every single Conservative candidate – in Sunderland, the North East and across the whole UK – has pledged to back the Prime Minister's deal. That means a Conservative majority in parliament will vote for our Brexit deal and we can finally end the uncertainty and get Brexit done.
- YOUR VOTE in YOUR SEAT will decide. If you want a working majority government that will end the uncertainty then vote Conservative on Thursday.
Meanwhile, new research has revealed that Labour’s plans for this country would make our streets less safe. Despite the police making clear that stop and search is essential in their fight against violent crime, Corbyn’s Labour have consistently opposed giving officers the powers and equipment they need to keep themselves and the public safe. A Labour government would mean:
- 882 more firearms on our streets – that’s more than two additional guns being fired or used to threaten somebody every single day.
- 8,596 more offensive weapons on our streets resulting in 3,954 more assaults with injury or intent, 3,687 more thefts, 146 more sexual assaults or rapes and 52 more murders – that’s an additional murder every single week.
- 4,204 fewer offenders receiving some form of custodial sentences – that’s up to 12 fewer offenders being imprisoned every single day.
- 7,500 more police officers being injured or worse while confront criminals – that’s 20 more police officers injured or worse every single day.
- 7,900 fewer criminals apprehended and arrested – that’s up to 22 fewer criminals apprehended and arrested every single day.
Remember – any announcement that Jeremy Corbyn makes now is simply a desperate attempt to distract from his lack of a plan on Brexit. The truth is that under Corbyn and Sturgeon, we would spend the whole of 2020 on the chaos of two more referendums – one on Brexit and one on Scottish independence, meaning they could not move onto any of the other things people care about.
There are now only three days to go. These are the key points you need to remember as you’re speaking to voters on the doorstep:
This election is happening because a gridlocked and broken Parliament refused to respect the referendum result – or let the government govern.
The choice is between a majority government that can act or another paralysed hung Parliament that cannot.
A Conservative majority government will:
- Get Brexit done
- Ensure there are 50,000 more nurses and put record investment in the NHS
- Recruit 20,000 more police and tougher sentences
- Invest in education, technology, and infrastructure to drive opportunity and prosperity
- Keep economy strong and debt low
- Take back control of immigration with an Australian-style points system
A hung Parliament stuck in neutral with more of the same indecision and uncertainty we have had for the last three years:
- Corbyn as PM propped up by Nicola Sturgeon
- Two more chaotic referendums on Brexit and Scotland
- A reckless economic policy that takes us back to square one – with higher debt and taxes you will pay for
Every vote counts, and the Conservatives only need 9 more seats to win a majority government that will:
- Stop the chaos
- End the uncertainty
- Get Brexit done
- Unleash Britain’s potential
