Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and the Conservatives are behind them 100%. Since 2010, there are 760,000 more businesses - creating jobs and opportunities for families across Britain.
Creating jobs is at the heart of our plan, and the plan is working - with employment now at an all-time high. Over 1,000 jobs have been created every day since 2010 - and there are now 2 million more people in work.
For too long older people in our society have been neglected. We are working with local representatives to make sure that older people's voices are heard.
There are now a record number of people in work in the North West. Every day an average 200 more people have been in employment in the north-west over the last year – and since 2010 the number of people in work is up by 97,000
