The Labour Party have today published an spoof version of the Tory Manifesto (called “Not” The Tory Manifesto 2010) with the strapline “It’s not what you’re voting for. it’s what you’re going to get.” The launch comes alongside a new microsite Stuff David Cameron Forgot To Say.

We’ve been playing around with it for the last twenty minutes – and credit where credit’s due, it’s pretty good.

Read the “manifesto” for yourself below:

    waste of our membership fees and resources, should be investing in top quality news print ground troops and a modern social media campaign

    Aren’t all manifesto’s designed to be as bland as possible, with the odd point thrown in to make it look good. Much like the Labour manifesto that said that the basic rate of tax would not be raised – but never a mention of all the other tax rises Labour would implement.

    A People’s Railway for Scotland

    By Mick Whelan

    A new report by rail expert Professor Paul Salveson, commissioned by ASLEF, the Co-operative Party and the Socialist Environment and Resources Association (SERA), is set to ignite the debate about the future of the railway in Scotland. The report calls for a ‘People’s ScotRail’ owned by and for the people of Scotland; a railway which brings passengers, employees and communities together. ASLEF welcomes the Scottish Labour Party’s decision to consult on the future direction of its rail policy. The status quo is […]

    Are the government tackling violence against women? Or just having lots of meetings?

    By Helen Jones

    Not long after taking office, Theresa May said that she wanted to end violence against women.  Today that promise sounds very hollow.   The government tell us it has a strategy.   If we believe what ministers said at the last Home Office questions, they are having lots of meetings.  What it certainly isn’t doing is tackling violence against women, ensuring that victims are protected and that the perpetrators are caught and prosecuted. The figures speak for themselves.  Domestic violence […]

    Shocking news – Labour’s election team are seeking advice from those who have won elections

A more prominent role for Alastair Campbell (whose reputation has been enhanced and reformed since he left Downing Street ten years ago) has been broadly welcomed. Yet the thought of Alan Milburn – for example – making a return […]

    We need a single mum subsidy, not cash for smug marrieds

    By Amy Lamé

    This Christmas hundreds of couples across the country will be getting engaged; it’s a traditional time of year to pop the question. However, the sparkle of diamonds will no doubt be dwarfed by the romantic offer of a £200 per year tax break for married couples courtesy of the Government. The marriage tax break is the most preposterous suggestion of how to set fire to a fistful of five pound notes – £700 million in fact.  The Chancellor announced yesterday […]
