The Welsh Conservatives are the party of low tax and big ideas.

0:00:110:00:13

We want to build a stronger, more competitive economy.

0:00:130:00:16

And secure a better future for Wales.

0:00:160:00:18

Labour have been in government in the Welsh Assembly

0:00:180:00:21

for the full 15 years.

0:00:210:00:23

In that time, they've sat on their hands

0:00:230:00:25

while our economy has lagged behind the rest of the UK.

0:00:250:00:28

It isn't good enough that we pay more council tax than

0:00:280:00:32

millions of other people in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

0:00:320:00:36

It isn't good enough that our small businesses don't get the tax breaks

0:00:360:00:40

that they do in other parts of the United Kingdom.

0:00:400:00:43

The Welsh Conservatives want to change this

0:00:430:00:45

for the hard-working people of Wales.

0:00:450:00:47

We have a long-term plan to deliver that change.

0:00:470:00:50

On council tax, stamp duty and business rates -

0:00:500:00:54

the Welsh Labour government are failing the hard-working families

0:00:540:00:57

and small businesses of Wales.

0:00:570:00:59

Council tax has risen by nearly 150% under Welsh Labour.

0:00:590:01:04

But I can't see where the extra money is going.

0:01:040:01:08

I'm glad that the Welsh Conservatives would freeze council tax,

0:01:080:01:12

keeping extra money in mine and my family's pocket.

0:01:120:01:16

To date, the council tax freeze that's happened in England

0:01:160:01:20

hasn't been passed on by the Welsh Labour government.

0:01:200:01:24

With increased budgets elsewhere,

0:01:240:01:26

a council tax saving could help money go a bit further.

0:01:260:01:30

Whilst the Welsh Labour government have refused to pass on this

0:01:300:01:34

extra money for a freeze, they did find ?52 million for an airport.

0:01:340:01:40

One day, I want to be able to buy my own home.

0:01:400:01:42

Rents are expensive

0:01:420:01:44

and it can feel like throwing hard-earned money down the drain.

0:01:440:01:47

Buying a house has never been so expensive.

0:01:470:01:50

Saving for a deposit, saving for solicitors' costs,

0:01:500:01:52

and, of course, stamp duty, means it will take me years

0:01:520:01:55

to have enough money to get onto the property ladder.

0:01:550:01:58

I'm glad that the Welsh Conservatives would remove

0:01:580:02:02

stamp duty up to ?250,000.

0:02:020:02:04

The extra ?1,600 I would save means it really would be possible

0:02:040:02:09

to get onto the housing ladder more quickly.

0:02:090:02:11

The extra money that I would save from a stamp duty cut

0:02:110:02:15

could mean more money for improving my house.

0:02:150:02:17

Or even saving up a little more money,

0:02:170:02:19

enabling me to make that dream come true.

0:02:190:02:22

Tax on small business is one of the highest costs we face.

0:02:220:02:26

The Welsh Conservatives want to cut tax for small businesses like mine.

0:02:260:02:29

Meaning I can put more money back into my business.

0:02:290:02:32

If every small and medium-sized business in Wales took on just

0:02:320:02:36

one more staff member, we wouldn't have any unemployment in Wales.

0:02:360:02:40

I'm glad the Welsh Conservatives back businesses like mine,

0:02:400:02:43

and are putting forward the policies needed to boost

0:02:430:02:46

the much-needed growth in Wales.

0:02:460:02:48

With the extra money saved on business rates,

0:02:480:02:51

I would be able to put more money back into my business.

0:02:510:02:54

The Welsh Conservatives would freeze council tax

0:02:540:02:57

so that you would have over ?100 more in your pocket.

0:02:570:03:01

So that families across Wales can have a better quality of living.

0:03:010:03:05

We would abolish stamp duty for homes up to ?250,000 -

0:03:050:03:10

saving aspiring homeowners up to ?2,500.

0:03:100:03:14

to help them thrive and invest, creating more jobs for local people,

0:03:200:03:24

so that we all feel more financially secure.

0:03:240:03:27

The people of Wales are paying the price

0:03:270:03:29

for a Welsh Labour government without a plan.

0:03:290:03:32

Only the Welsh Conservatives have a long-term economic plan

0:03:320:03:36

to build a stronger economy and help hard-working people get on in life.

0:03:360:03:41

Let's follow the plan together,

0:03:410:03:43

for a better future for the people of Wales.

0:03:430:03:46

The Sport Relief Games are back,

0:04:270:04:29

with loads of running, swimming and cycling events.

0:04:290:04:31

You don't need hi-tech equipment to get involved -

0:04:310:04:33

you don't even need AeroShorts 5000.

0:04:330:04:36

Show your support by wearing a Sport Relief T-shirt

0:04:360:04:39

or even one of these Sport Relief headbands. See you later.

0:04:390:04:42

Does my bum look cone-like in this?
