In PMQs today, David Cameron claimed that selling off the Royal Mail was in the 2010 Labour Party manifesto, as a way to deflect from his unpopular and financially incoherent policy. We’ve checked the manifesto and this is what it actually says:
“For the future, continuing modernisation and investment will be needed by the Royal Mail in the public sector.”
And last year Chuka Umunna said that Royal Mail was “being sold off on the cheap” – he was right. On Labour’s manifesto, Cameron was wrong. He might want to correct the record.
