Today you will hear a lot about broken Labour promises from the Conservatives. So here’s a little reminder of theirs:
David Cameron “we have absolutely no plans to raise VAT”
They raised it from 17.5% to 20%
David Cameron “I wouldn’t change child benefit, I wouldn’t means test it”
They means tested it.
David Cameron “We have no plans to scrap the educational maintenance allowance”
They scrapped it.
George Osbourne “we will reduce the deficit and get debt under control”
They didn’t.
Boris Johnson “we will build 300k homes a year”
They didn’t.
Boris Johnson “we will end rough sleeping”
They didn’t.
Theresa May “we will ban no-fault evictions”
They didn’t.
Theresa May “we will ban conversion therapy”
They didn’t.
Boris Johnson “we will not raise income tax, VAT or National insurance”
They did, to the highest levels in 70 years.
Boris Johnson “we will build 40 new hospitals”
They didn’t.
Rishi Sunak “we will cut NHS waiting lists”
They didn’t.
David Cameron “we will end child poverty”
They didn’t. In 2021/2022 1 in 3 children in the UK lived in poverty.

Sunak. "There is something special about the self-employed".
Don’t remember him saying that in the pandemic when they were excluded from the furlough programme 🤔
