Labour vows to end ‘rip-off Britain’

JOHN MCDONNELL has vowed that Labour will end “rip-off Britain” after research finds families are £6,000 worse off because of the Tories.

In a major election speech in Birmingham today, the shadow chancellor intends to highlight the current scale of inequality in Britain and will vow to put money “in your pocket” with a Labour government.

His intervention will come alongside analysis by Labour which suggests that the Tories have cost the average household £5,949 every year since 2010 with stagnating wages and rising household bills.
