Tories are being exposed for what they are
Labour’s campaign is off to a flying start, writes Matt Willgress
Prime Minister Boris Johnson speaking at the launch the Conservative Party's General Election campaign at NEC, Birmingham

THIS general election campaign and the immediate period preceding it has been marked by the Prime Minister getting in trouble every time he meets a member of the public, while at the same time being elusive in terms of policy commitments on spending, tax and the economy. 

In stark contrast, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and Labour’s team have been busy announcing a range of policies that can rebuild and transform Britain, whilst at the same time clearly exposing the Tories’ record, illustrating effectively how and why the Tories can’t be trusted.

The clear message of Labour’s campaign is that only a Jeremy Corbyn-led government can bring about real change and transform our economy to protect people, planet and public services.
