Not since 2002, 16 years ago, has a government achieved a budget surplus. But new figures show ,that in the 12 months ending in January, the nation’s finances showed current budget surplus of £3bn 💷.
That’s down from £100bn annual deficit in 2010.
We got there in the end - a remarkable national effort. Thank you.

Andy is spot on when he says
@Conservatives
must not abandon moderate Conservatism. It is only with a modern, compassionate, One Nation platform that we can appeal to the electorate. A credit to him to run this election so close, I hope we see more from him in future.
Absolutely gutted to be so near, yet so far.
It has been my honour to serve citizens in the WM for the last seven years, and I hope I have done it with dignity & integrity.
I am proud of what we have achieved together and I hope my successor can build upon it.
Thank you all.
