THE Tories have broken 21 promises in the 21 weeks since they won the general election, Labour’s Jonathan Ashworth revealed yesterday. 

Mr Ashworth said that the pain felt in the Labour Party after May’s election defeat had been eclipsed by the suffering of people at the sharp end of Tory cuts.

He recalled how a pensioner came into his surgery “in tears with no money to buy food” and forced to turn to the foodbank.
