The Welsh Conservatives are the party of low tax and big ideas. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:13 | |
We want to build a stronger, more competitive economy. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
And secure a better future for Wales. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
Labour have been in government in the Welsh Assembly | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
for the full 15 years. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
In that time, they've sat on their hands | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
while our economy has lagged behind the rest of the UK. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
It isn't good enough that we pay more council tax than | 0:00:28 | 0:00:32 | |
millions of other people in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:36 | |
It isn't good enough that our small businesses don't get the tax breaks | 0:00:36 | 0:00:40 | |
that they do in other parts of the United Kingdom. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
The Welsh Conservatives want to change this | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
for the hard-working people of Wales. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
We have a long-term plan to deliver that change. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
On council tax, stamp duty and business rates - | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
the Welsh Labour government are failing the hard-working families | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
and small businesses of Wales. | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
Council tax has risen by nearly 150% under Welsh Labour. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:04 | |
But I can't see where the extra money is going. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:08 | |
I'm glad that the Welsh Conservatives would freeze council tax, | 0:01:08 | 0:01:12 | |
keeping extra money in mine and my family's pocket. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:16 | |
To date, the council tax freeze that's happened in England | 0:01:16 | 0:01:20 | |
hasn't been passed on by the Welsh Labour government. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:24 | |
With increased budgets elsewhere, | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
a council tax saving could help money go a bit further. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:30 | |
Whilst the Welsh Labour government have refused to pass on this | 0:01:30 | 0:01:34 | |
extra money for a freeze, they did find ?52 million for an airport. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:40 | |
One day, I want to be able to buy my own home. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
Rents are expensive | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
and it can feel like throwing hard-earned money down the drain. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
Buying a house has never been so expensive. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
Saving for a deposit, saving for solicitors' costs, | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
and, of course, stamp duty, means it will take me years | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
to have enough money to get onto the property ladder. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
I'm glad that the Welsh Conservatives would remove | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
stamp duty up to ?250,000. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
The extra ?1,600 I would save means it really would be possible | 0:02:04 | 0:02:09 | |
to get onto the housing ladder more quickly. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
The extra money that I would save from a stamp duty cut | 0:02:11 | 0:02:15 | |
could mean more money for improving my house. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
Or even saving up a little more money, | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
enabling me to make that dream come true. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
Tax on small business is one of the highest costs we face. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:26 | |
The Welsh Conservatives want to cut tax for small businesses like mine. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
Meaning I can put more money back into my business. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
If every small and medium-sized business in Wales took on just | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
one more staff member, we wouldn't have any unemployment in Wales. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:40 | |
I'm glad the Welsh Conservatives back businesses like mine, | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
and are putting forward the policies needed to boost | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
the much-needed growth in Wales. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
With the extra money saved on business rates, | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
I would be able to put more money back into my business. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
The Welsh Conservatives would freeze council tax | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
so that you would have over ?100 more in your pocket. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:01 | |
So that families across Wales can have a better quality of living. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:05 | |
We would abolish stamp duty for homes up to ?250,000 - | 0:03:05 | 0:03:10 | |
saving aspiring homeowners up to ?2,500. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:14 | |
to help them thrive and invest, creating more jobs for local people, | 0:03:20 | 0:03:24 | |
so that we all feel more financially secure. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
The people of Wales are paying the price | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
for a Welsh Labour government without a plan. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
Only the Welsh Conservatives have a long-term economic plan | 0:03:32 | 0:03:36 | |
to build a stronger economy and help hard-working people get on in life. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:41 | |
Let's follow the plan together, | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
for a better future for the people of Wales. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
The Sport Relief Games are back, | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
with loads of running, swimming and cycling events. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
You don't need hi-tech equipment to get involved - | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
you don't even need AeroShorts 5000. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
Show your support by wearing a Sport Relief T-shirt | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
or even one of these Sport Relief headbands. See you later. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
Does my bum look cone-like in this? | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 |
