As a teacher in a local school, I am increasingly worried about the Conservatives' renewed pledge to fund tax cuts for above-average earners by axeing £16 billion from education and NHS funding if they win the next election.

This works out to a cut of £24 million pounds in each constituency or around 180 teachers, 180 nurses and 90 doctors across Brighton and Hove alone.

Can those people who are standing for the Tories in each of the three seats say where these cuts will come from and what schools and hospitals will be affected? Is my job safe?

Can Brighton and Hove afford to lose more than £72 million of government spending on our vital public services? Is it really worth a 3p in the pound electoral bribe, Mr Hague?
