Conservatives can only offer cheap gimmicks and reheated policies

Responding to Rishi Sunak’s speech in this afternoon’s King’s Speech debate, Liberal Democrat Scottish Affairs spokesperson Christine Jardine MP said:

“Rishi Sunak’s Conservative party are more focused on demonising the desperate than they are on tackling any of the actual problems that the country faced.

“A serious government would be setting out plans to tackle long waits for healthcare, the cost-of-living crisis and local rivers ruined by sewage.

“Instead all Rishi Sunak had to offer was cheap gimmicks and reheated policies.

“Stick a fork in the Conservative party, they’re done.”
