"Labours planning a new savings tax - cutting ISA allowances and hitting millions who save for their future. Thats wrong. Saving should be rewarded not punished. Instead of taxing savers Labour should cut waste and control spending. Sign up here 👇🏻"

"When even the Resolution Foundation - Labours favourite think tank - warns that their flagship Employment Rights Bill will destroy opportunities for young people you know this is a serious mistake.

"Dr @realartlaffer's trip to London is a stark reminder that Rachel Reeves is on the wrong side of the Laffer curve. If Reeves reduces government spending - including the welfare bill - as I set out at this year's @Conservatives Party Conference she doesn't need to break her promise and raise taxes again. We need to break Labour's tax doom loop"

"Unemployment up to XXX% - driven by rising youth joblessness. Labour crashed confidence when they came in with no plan - and now Keir Starmer lacks the backbone to make the tough choices to fix it. More tax rises loom. More damage to come. Labours failure is not an accident - its the result of their choices. The @Conservatives have a plan. Labour dont"

"ONS figures this morning show that growth continues to be weak and Rachel Reeves is now admitting she is going to hike taxes yet again despite all her promises. If Labour had a plan or a backbone they would get spending under control cut the deficit and get taxes down as the @Conservatives have set out with our 47bn savings plan. Instead they are going to hit a fragile economy with more damaging tax rises. Only the Conservatives have a plan for a stronger economy and the leadership needed to deliver it"

"You pay Stamp Duty when you buy a home. That means young people having to save thousands more just to get on the property ladder. Growing families cant afford to move to get more space. Older people cant downsize. And workers cant move to where the jobs are. (2/8)"

"Scrapping Stamp Duty on main homes would be affordable if Labour would only get a grip of spending - especially the benefits bill. But there looks to be little prospect of that. Only yet more tax rises. Weve got to get taxes down and get the economy moving. (7/8)"

"Inflation remains at almost double the Bank of Englands two per cent target because of Rachel Reeves decisions - pushing up the cost of living and punishing those Labour promised to protect. This financial year Labour have borrowed XXX billion because they do not have the backbone to reduce spending. Combined with her XX billion Jobs Tax Rachel Reeves is pushing inflation higher and higher. Starmer and Reeves are too weak to sort this mess out. Only the @Conservatives have the plan and the strong team to break the doom loop and ease the cost of living by delivering XX billion in savings and"

"What Torsten fails to mention: X. His government is planning to push debt up to XXX trillion in just one parliament X. They are doing that despite not facing a global pandemic or energy crisis like the previous government. X. They are doing that by spending far far more than the plans they inherited - almost half a trillion more across the parliament. X. In contrast Conservatives in 2010 had to control spending to deal with Labour's record deficit. Debt to GDP rose by more in the final X years of the last Labour government than the entire XX years Conservatives were in office - and it was"
