Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn can expect a warm welcome when he visits today as campaigners label the Tory manifesto ‘The longest suicide note in history.’
Promising cuts to State Pension, removal of Winter Fuel Allowance from millions of pensioners and charging dead people for social care has led to the suicide note allegation.
Mr. Corbyn will be in Goole and Hull today as he looks to build support for the Labour Party and his ambitions to lead the UK through what will be a difficult period.
Speaking about the visit, Beverley Labour’s George McManus said;
“When right-wing think tanks tanks like the Bow Group refer to the biggest stealth tax in history people start asking questions.”
“On our street stall people were struggling to come to terms with the Tory manifesto proposals.”
“Disbelief was matched by despair as it also becomes apparent that up to 10 million pensioners could lose their winter fuel allowance, which might well lead to increased pensioner deaths from hypothermia.”
Political experts and even supporters of the party have lashed out after the conservatives unveiled their manifesto without any figures.
Despite repeated calls questioning how the additional funds for both the armed services and NHS are going to be raised the party continues to ‘duck’ questions.
Some pundits have called their plans to strip people of their homes and savings to pay for social care as nothing more than a stealth death tax.
Corbyn’s arrival in the region is expected to draw huge crowds as he continues to take the message of a fairer society for the many and not the few to the nation.
Similar events around the country have seen vast numbers of people come out to see the man who the Conservatives claim lacks the leadership qualities needed to run the country.
The latest polls show that while the Tories are still ahead the gap is closing as more people become disenfranchised with their vision of the future.
Residents in the UK will have the final say when they go to the polls on 8 June – anyone wishing to vote needs to be registered before midnight on the 22 May.
