David Cameron made a string of pledges when he sold Britain a Conservative message. Millions bought it – but they’ve been short-changed
Let down: Labour has revealed 21 broken Tory promises in 21 weeks of office
While Labour obsesses over Jeremy Corbyn’s speech, it could be all too easy to forget their real foes.
So to mark 21 weeks of all-Tory government, the party has revealed 21 broken Tory promises – from tax credit cuts to protecting the disabled.
David Cameron made a string of pledges in his May manifesto as he sold a Conservative message to the nation.
The nation bought it, returning Mr Cameron to Number 10 with a stronger majority and freed from Lib Dem shackles. But what did they buy? And have they been short-changed?
Labour shadow minister Jonathan Ashworth, whose team put together the 21-strong list, claimed it proves the Tories can’t be trusted.
He told the Mirror: “David Cameron is always saying we should trust the Tories, but their record of broken promises since the election says otherwise.
“This is a disgrace, and one Labour won’t stay quiet about.”
Here’s the full list of 21 broken pledges, which the Mirror has linked to evidence from previous stories.
