Tory conference was ‘feast of spin and deception’

LABOUR leader Jeremy Corbyn slammed the Tory Party conference as “a feast of spin and deception” during a visit to Scotland yesterday.

Mr Corbyn said that “behind the spin and the rhetoric” in Manchester this week it was “the same old Tories” who are “on the side of the few, not the many” by stealing millions from Britain’s low-paid workers to fund tax cuts for the rich.

He said it was hypocritical of the Tories to claim to be on the side of ordinary people while “robbing three million low-paid families of £1,000 a year with the tax credit cuts.”
