After a torrid few days following D-Day row, UK prime minister Rishi Sunak will try to get floundering general election campaign back on track in Northamptonshire

“We Conservatives have a plan to give you financial security. We will enable working people to keep more of the money you earn because you have earned it and have the right to choose what to spend it on.
The Tory manifesto to be launched for the July 4th election will also include previously-announced measures such as a promise to shelter the state pension from income tax; allowing better-paid workers to claim more child benefit; and a pledge that income tax, national insurance and VAT will not rise during the next term of government.
Mr Ashworth said that if, as expected, the Tories promise to fund their plans with £12 billion of welfare cuts, it would be a “flagrant lie” as the cash had already been committed elsewhere. Labour will launch its own manifesto on Thursday.
