Deliver what precisely. Decline in living standards and UK economic competitiveness?. Higher business failures?.
I am determined to deliver for the UK. That's why in the last month I've travelled over 2,000 miles, met over 40 businesses, and visited numerous locations across the nation, meeting working people and hearing first-hand the issues that matter to them.

Almost as if someone had raised taxes on jobs, hiked business rates and for political reasons bumped up minimum wages faster than productivity. and firms had raised prices to survive.
