Response to launch of UKIP’s General Election manifesto

labourpress:

Jon Trickett, Labour’s Shadow Minister Without Portfolio, responding to the launch of UKIP’s General Election manifesto, said:

“UKIP have confirmed that they are a party which stands for a privileged few. Their manifesto backs another tax break for those at the top and they will hold the Tories’ ‘feet to the fire’ in delivering their extreme spending plans, which will threaten the NHS and put living standards at risk.

“UKIP are a party of Tory policies, Tory people and Tory money.

“Just as important as what is in the manifesto is what’s missing. A vote for UKIP is a vote for NHS privatisation and the Tories’ plans to cut twice as fast in the next year as last year. This is what Nigel Farage has said he believes in.

“UKIP don’t represent working people - like the Tories they stand up only for a privileged few. That’s why they are preparing to do a deal with David Cameron after the election.”
