THE Prime Minister will visit Hampshire today to deliver a keynote speech about how and why he intends to cut taxes to reward hardworking people.

David Cameron will make a whistle-stop tour to the county, where he will set out the Conservative Party's third manifesto theme ahead of the General Election on May 7.

Exact details of where and when he will visit cannot be revealed for security reasons.

It's Mr Cameron's first visit to the area since the Farnborough Air Show last year. He also visited Eastleigh during the by-election in Febraury 2013 when he turned out to show his support for then Tory candidate Maria Hutchings. During that visit he met workers at the town's Prysmian Cables & Systems before opening a new £2 million high voltage lab.

Today he will make his speech, based on “a Britain that rewards work” and tell people that the country is “at a tax moment” and that after years of “sacrifice” people deserve a reward.His spokespeople revealed how Mr Cameron will also set out what he says is “the stark choice” at the election, between Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg, who he described as “the enemies of aspiration” who the Tory's say intend to tax people more.

Speaking about his belief in tax cuts, the Prime Minister will say: “'I sometimes get asked: why do I believe in tax cuts so much? It's simple, because I trust people more than I do politicians.

“I think people know how to spend their money better than those in Westminster do. I believe that if people have worked hard and earned their own money, they should be able to spend it on a holiday, or a nice meal out, or some new clothes for their children - and that it shouldn't be thrown up the wall to satisfy the latest gimmick dreamed up in Whitehall.

“This is the right thing to do: it's your money, not the Government's, and so you should keep it.'

The speech will continue: “But there's another reason for tax cuts, and we're at that moment now - what I would call the tax moment, when after years of sacrifice, the British people deserve a reward.”
