Good news on the economic front - unemployment fell by 7,000 in November and now stands at 2.46 million. The number of people claiming Job Seekers Allowance has also fallen to 1.61 million. Unemployment nationally is 7.8%, down from 7.9%. In Wyre Forest the level is lower than the average. The Labour Government has intervened into the British economy, protecting jobs, families and public services. What do the Tories offer? According to the Tory House Magazine "The Daily Telegraph" (15th January 2010) the headline read "We'll slash spending on day one, say Tories". There is a real choice for the electors in Wyre Forest. Vote Labour for jobs, public services, and to protect our living standards, or voteTory to "slash spending" and therefore slash investment in jobs and services. Perhaps the ballot paper should actually spell this out, rather than just listing the candidates?
