Between now and 7th May, we will be sharing with you 15 reasons to vote Conservative on the big day with a combination of local and national issues.

14. As usual, Labour spent it all – and more

This infamous letter summarises the usual financial chaos Labour governments always leave behind.  It read:

       "Dear Chief Secretary,

       I'm afraid there is no money.

       Kind regards – and good luck!"

It was written by Liam Byrne, Chief Secretary to the Treasury and the man responsible for controlling spending in the Labour government – who still serves as a Shadow Minister in Ed Miliband’s team.

• It sums up how utterly shameless Labour were – and still are – about the state they left our public finances in.
• But, thanks to the Conservatives' long-term plan and the hard work of the British people, we've come a long way in the past five years.
• The deficit has been reduced by half as a share of GDP...
• ... 1.9 million new jobs have been created...
• ... taxes have been cut for over 26 million people...
• ... and our economy has been confirmed as the fastest-growing in the G7 last year.
• But in all that time, Ed Miliband and Ed Balls haven't apologised – not even once – for wrecking the British economy.
• Worse still, they don’t believe spending was too high under the last Labour government – and they plan to do it all over again.
• Their policies would mean more of the same borrowing, debt and waste that got us into a mess before, leaving hardworking taxpayers to once again pay the price.
• Everything depends on a strong economy.  Since 2010, the Conservatives have been working through a plan to secure the recovery and a brighter future for us all.  Let's not go back to square one.
