The Conservative's long term economic plan has driven down unemployment, taken job numbers to a record high and made the UK's economy one of the fastest growing in the developed world.

Rather than celebrate this economic good news Ed Miliband and Ed Balls are constantly talking down British business and attacking the very business leaders and entrepreneurs who are helping to drive this recovery.

I spent over twenty years in business, I understand that local businesses need to know that the government is on their side so that they can invest and recruit with confidence.

Labour have made it clear that they're not on the side of Braintree's businesses.
