SIR – I find it incredible that I should be criticised for talking about the positives in Bradford and shouting out for the achievements in the area.

I will fight to put Bradford on the map and I am sorry if others can’t see the positive in that.

We should be celebrating and supporting our new business start-ups for showing the courage and entrepreneurial spirit that this country and Bradford needs.

Following years of Labour mismanagement and the biggest budget deficit in our peacetime history the turnaround in the UK has been extraordinary.

We have cut income tax for over 25 million people, putting on average an extra £705 in people’s pockets. The State Pension has increased by £800, helping our pensioners.

We need to vote in 2015 for the Conservatives’ economic plan, which has been one of the most successful in the world.

The British economy is becoming stronger, healthier and more resilient thanks to the efforts of the British people.

The Conservatives’ long-term economic plan is the only sustainable way to raise living standards.

Tanya Graham, Conservative Parliamentary Candidate Bradford South, Greenside Lane, Bradford
