WILL RISHI HEAR TORY VOICES?

a DeCaDe ago Conservative Voice was set up to campaign for lower taxes, small government, and radical thinking in delivery of public services. Sadly, there’s been little sign of any of those noble objectives being met.

Now the group has delivered some timely advice on what the Tory Party should stand for. In a poll of 2,000 people by Savanta, 80 per cent of Tory voters want government spending to support a strong military, while 83 per cent say Britain already does enough to help poorer countries, with international aid currently around £11 billion a year. In other words, cut the international aid budget.

Only 55 per cent believe there is value for money from public services. Don Porter, co-founder of Conservative Voice, said: ‘ Getting better value for the taxpayer, encouraging aspiration, and prioritising economic growth, it’s clear the new Conservative Government will succeed if it reflects these values.’

rishi Sunak please take note.
