Read our privacy policy The Conservatives have built a “Jeremy Corbyn-style manifesto” that will “load everything into the wheelbarrow” without explaining how to pay for it, Sir Keir Starmer has said. “The money isn’t there, it is a recipe for five more years of chaos.” Mr Corbyn has previously said Sir Keir should not “diss” Labour’s 2019 manifesto, having served in his shadow cabinet between 2016 and 2020 and campaigned on the manifesto at the last general election. Campaign group Momentum, which supports Mr Corbyn, attacked Sir Keir’s remarks, saying: “Labour’s 2019 manifesto was fully costed. “Perhaps what Keir doesn’t like about 2019 Labour policies like public ownership and wealth taxes was that they offered real change, not just the illusion of it.” Rishi Sunak is set to launch the Conservative manifesto at an event at Silverstone on Tuesday, with Work and Pensions Secretary Mel Stride saying it will contain “big, bold interventions” to help people buy their first homes.
