Boris Johnson launches Tory manifesto with restrained spending plan
Tories’ election promise of £2.9bn extra public spending dwarfed by £83bn pledged by Labour
Boris Johnson has launched a restrained manifesto that promises only £2.9bn extra in public spending a year by the end of the next parliament against £83bn a year outlined by Labour.
Appearing in Telford in the West Midlands, the prime minister said his aims were not just to “get Brexit done” but to “level up across the country” by improving the NHS, schools and police.
