David Cameron: SNP and Labour will lead the UK ‘into ruin’
The prime minister is speaking in Crewe, and taking the opportunity to claim that a Labour-SNP administration would cause the economy to “head into ruin again”.
He says: “Make no mistake, if Labour and the SNP get into power, you are going to see an alliance between a party that wants to spend, borrow and tax more with a party that wants to spend, borrow and tax even more.
“It might be a match made in heaven for them but it is a match made in hell for the British economy. You would see our deficit climbing up again spending on welfare soaring again businesses crushed again, jobs lost again with Labour and the SNP, our economy will head into ruin again.
He adds: “Time and again Ed Miliband has refused to rule out a deal with the SNP.
“He simply says he’ll ‘see what happens’. He doesn’t even want to talk about it because we all know what it would mean.
“Not a clean coalition agreement decided in the first couple of weeks – but permanent, messy chaos, negotiating day by day, vote by vote, favour by favour.”
Although the high-vis audience appears to still be on the fence.
