Andrew Gwynne said:
“This
is yet more nonsense from a Tory campaign that’s all slogan and no substance.
“Their
claims are so flimsy that even the most cursory reading reveals error after
error: claims that don’t add up, things they say are Labour policy which aren’t
and blatant misrepresentation of policies which we have clearly set out how to
pay for. The whole thing isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.
“That
Philip Hammond is willing to put his name to this nonsense is deeply worrying
given it suggests he’s unable to tell the difference between capital and
revenue spending.
“Frankly
this is just the latest desperate attempt by the Tories to distance themselves
from their failures and to distract from the fact that they’ve not ruled out
hitting those on lower and middle incomes with further tax increases.
“Labour’s
policies are fully-costed and properly paid for. Our plans will be set out in
our manifesto. Don’t trust the Tories: they are the party of the few, not the
many.”
