Labour derides £1.2tn Tory costing claims as ‘work of fiction’
Parties clash over spending plans as Conservatives reveal ‘true cost of Corbyn’s Labour’
Labour has dismissed a Tory dossier claiming Jeremy Corbyn’s policies would cost £1.2tn as “an absolute work of fiction”, as the two parties clashed again over their plans for the economy.
The Conservatives are keen to portray Corbyn’s party as reckless when it comes to public spending, and published a 36-page document setting out their claim that Labour’s proposals would carry a price-tag of £1.2tn.
