These figures are deeply worrying, and are further proof that seven years of Tory austerity has resulted in abject failure – John McDonnell

John
McDonnell, Labour’s Shadow Chancellor, commenting on the
latest retail figures from the British Retail Consortium showing a slowdown in
sales, said:

“These
figures are deeply worrying, and are further proof that seven years of Tory
austerity has resulted in abject failure. Wages are still lower than they were
in 2010. The Tories have no plan to tackle the fact that prices are rising
faster than wages. This is leading to living standards
being squeezed and working families being hit the hardest, with the impact now
reaching the high street.

“Growth is
slowing, retail sales are down, business investment and wages are falling back.
Under the Conservatives the economy is neither strong nor stable. And a
vote for the Tories on Thursday is a vote for more of the same, and no solution
to the problems their economic policies are clearly creating for our economy,
and working households.

“Only a Labour Government will
take the action needed to end the Tories’ economic failure by introducing
a Real Living Wage of £10 an hour, and by investing
in an economy that works for the many, while the
Tories are only prepared to protect big business and a wealthy few.”

UKIP Leader Paul Nuttall MEP held his final press conference before polling day in Westminster this morning with a strong message on national security and a rebuke for those who have attacked the party for wanting to protect Britain.

This is what Paul had to say:

It is clear from the terrorist atrocities over the past month that the government is struggling to protect its own citizens.

And during this election campaign it has emerged that our security and intelligence services are at any one time engaged in thwarting five hundred potential terror plots.

Paddy Ashdown launches Theresa May “flip flop” poster

Liberal Democrats

Launching the poster across social networks, Paddy Ashdown said:

“In her brief tenure as Prime Minister, and particularly during the car crash of a general election campaign, Theresa May has been shown to be one of the least consistent and weakest of modern day Prime Ministers. She has flip flopped on Europe having campaigned to remain and now pushing for an extreme Brexit, as she has on raising National Insurance for the self-employed and most recently on whether to have a cap in her disastrous manifesto commitment on the Dementia Tax. As we approach this monumentally important election, there has never been a greater need for Liberal Democrats in parliament.’
