Conservative manifesto: no one will believe what they're promising

EMBARGO: IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Commenting on the publication of the Conservative manifesto, Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader Daisy Cooper said:

"Rishi Sunak got one thing right in this speech: people are frustrated with him and the Conservative Party. This manifesto isn't worth the paper it's printed on. No one will believe anything they're promising today.

"From his D-day disservice to a Formula One flop, Rishi Sunak's Conservatives have packed their campaign with desperation and lies.

"After years of taking people for granted, the Conservatives have overseen crumbling hospitals, sewage scandals and a cost of living crisis like no other. It's time for a change.

"Frankly, it's astonishing that they managed to sit politely in a room and agree with each other for long enough to publish something."
