CONSERVATIVE Party deputy chairman Matt Vickers has accused the Prime Minister and the Chancellor of breaking promises to voters and said they “have trashed this country’s economy”.
On Sir Keir Starmer’s comments about closer alignment with the EU, he told GB News: “This is another huge broken promise from the Labour Party.
“They broke their promises to our pensioners. They broke their promises to our farmers. They broke their promises to everyone at home who pays council tax, they said not a penny more on council tax.
“Every promise that was in that manifesto…I’ve yet to find one that hasn’t been broken. But this is another broken promise. It’s also just a distraction.
“The reality is that Rachel Reeves and Keir Starmer have trashed this country’s economy. Inflation up, nearly doubled. Growth: we handed over the fastest growing economy in the G7, it’s now the slowest growing in the G7.

“21% more people are unemployed. They’re out of work. They’ve lost the opportunity to provide for their families. The only people winning out of this government are benefits claimants. It’s wrong.
“Hard-working Brits out there working day and night know that it isn’t Brexit that’s cost them their jobs, that’s causing them to pay ever increasing taxes. It’s the guy in Number 10.”
On the capture of Nicolas Maduro, he said: “It is a good thing for the globe. It is a good thing for the people of Venezuela that he’s gone.
“It’s right now that there’s some time put in place, some stability, do whatever it takes to put a sustainable, democratic election in place to allow the people of Venezuela to decide what comes next. That’s the right thing to do.
“When it comes down to did or didn’t the USA break international law, I think that’s the thing for the USA to put their case for. We haven’t seen all the details of that yet.
“The reality is that the USA is a huge partner to this country. They’re one of the countries in the world, players in the world that share our values, share our interests. They’re a huge partner to us in terms of trade, in terms of security, defence, intelligence.
“So we should let them make the case for what they’ve had to do and what comes next.”
