Michael Fabricant

Michael Fabricant has told Lichfield and Burntwood residents that the Conservative Party has a positive vision for them and the whole country.

But he admits their plans could have been made visible much earlier.

He said: “I’ve had discussions with David Cameron about our repetition of the phrase ‘long-term economic plan’. In my opinion we have focused too narrowly on that.

“We should have set out our vision much earlier.

“I’ve said to him our long-term economic plan is just the means to an end. David has now announced our vision for the country with the extension of right-to-buy scheme, our pledge that no one on the minimum wage will pay income tax and increased NHS spending.

“But we can only make these pledges because we’ve a strong economy.”
