I have finally seen the TV coverage of the Tory manifesto launch. As Elinor Goodman said on Channel 4 News, it was “almost beyond parody”. The only thing missing was a chorus of nuns singing “climb every mountain”- and all for a document of almost unbelievable banality.
The Conservatives were once feared, even if grudgingly respected- this farrago is a spectacular own goal. They have made themselves ridiculous. The policies as thin as they are contradictory.
Meanwhile Sarah Kennedy has gone into hospital. I hope that all is well- fingers crossed. The pity is of course that we have had to postpone the Liberal Democrat manifesto launch tomorrow- but some things take priority!
