‘On the cost of living, what I want to see is building a strong economy with higher paid jobs.’ – Theresa May, British Prime Minister
On Monday, the British Prime Minister Theresa May had an interview with the BBC channel’s Andrew Neil. The interviewer asked the UK Prime Minister why the Conservative Party included a social care cap in its campaign, while it refused to do so at the very beginning of the rally, but May said she was honest with the nation and just wanted to clarify what the Party put in its manifesto. During the interview, the British PM stated that people wanted to see the stronger economy that could pay for the National Health Service and the public services. As to rising inflation, frozen in-work benefits and falling living standards, the UK PM said she would create higher paid jobs and put control on energy prices to help people pay bills. Andrew Neil noted that the Tories failed to lower migration and end the budget deficit by 2015; however, Theresa May stated that the Conservatives would continue working on the following issues if they wing the June 8 Election, highlighting the Labour Party’s intentions to increase borrowing and ignore the country’s debt and the budget deficit.
