He admits the country faces a productivity challenge but the answer is not to think that we can “borrow our way out of this problem or rack up the debts again” or become hostage to “a deeply unstable political combination of the Scottish Nationalists and Ed Miliband”.

“We are achieving the kind of economic growth this country wants to see… I think a lot of that is at risk. We’re two weeks go until this election," Chancellor George Osborne tells the Today programme.
"And it’s coming down to a very clear choice on the economy and on 8 May we can either get straight back to work with a clear plan that is delivering for our country or we face this deeply unstable Miliband-SNP government committed to much more borrowing and that leads to a dangerous cocktail, which increasingly international investors say will lead to higher mortgage rates, higher taxes and lost jobs.
"And we’ve got to avoid that outcome having achieved so much over five years.”
The Spectator points, external to a new opinion poll from ComRes which has UKIP trailing in third place in ten Conservative-held seats which UKIP have targeted. Across the polled seats, the Tories are on 39%, Labour on 28% and UKIP trailing on 21%.

The Spectator says the poll reveals a quarter of Lib Dem voters in these seats say they will now back Labour and 21% will back the Tories.
However, a UKIP party source described it as a "terrible way of doing the poll" with a suggestion that several of the seats polled by ComRes are not top targets for the party.

Image source, Getty ImagesLib Dem peer Baroness Williams has attacked the SNP in a letter to the Times,, external focusing on the party's record in government in Scotland.
Recent Conservative attacks on the party have sought to raise fears of a post-election deal with Labour, but Baroness Williams claims there has been an "absence of any detailed analysis south of the border of the SNP’s record in government".
She claims that "the Scottish NHS is in crisis" and accuses the SNP - which has formed the Scottish government since 2007 - of having a "troubling record on civil liberties", including the controversial deployment of armed police in the Highlands.
“Highlanders have been aghast at the sight of armed police undertaking routine duties on their streets," she writes. "It is a bigger insult that local communities’ calls to reverse the policy were ignored by both the police and the SNP.”
She adds: “The SNP now seeks to present itself as a party with a strong interest in the future of the UK. Its own record makes that very hard to believe.”

He tells the newspaper: “It is a big, hairy conversation that you have to begin early and then shape some of the discussion around.
"I would hope by the end of a five-year Parliament there was a consensus about creating a 14-19 curriculum and qualification framework, and I would not be surprised, or indeed saddened, if that meant in a decade’s time we were beginning to phase out GCSEs."
The Liberal Democrats are to launch a disability manifesto pledging a £150m support package for carers.
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg will promise a raft of benefits for carers including a £250 holiday bonus. The Lib Dem leader said more must be done to reward the "unsung heroes of British society".

Under the plan, the NHS will have a legal duty to identify carers and a new "carer's passport" will offer privileges such as free hospital parking, gym sessions and cinema tickets.
Image source, PAGordon Brown has accused David Cameron of "whipping up English nationalism" to try to win the election.
