I WOULD like to pose a few questions for clarification of the Conservative Party stance prior to the General Election on June 8.

Is the fact the Conservative Party are condemning the openly published costings in Labour’s manifesto, despite the fact they have produced a completely uncosted manifesto, deceitful, hypocritical or arrogant?

Does Nigel Adams (Conservative candidate for Selby and Ainsty) agree with his party’s attack on pensioners regarding the removal of the pension triple lock and the non-specific means testing of the winter fuel allowance?

Is it an example of “strong and stable” leadership that Theresa May has been embarrassingly forced into yet another U-turn, this time on their appalling attempt to impose the so called dementia tax?

Mrs May announced on Monday, in a huge concession, that the policy will now include a cap on the amount people have to pay over their lifetime.

But she refused to confirm what the level of that cap will be as she ridiculously claimed: “Nothing has changed.”

Can we have an explanation why the Conservative Government have sweetheart corporation tax deals with multinational corporations such as Google, Vodafone and Starbucks et al and yet will not guarantee not to increase income tax or National Insurance contributions to ordinary working families?

The gap between the haves and the have nots has increased dramatically under the stewardship of the Tories.

It’s absolutely shameful that in 2017 the number of people reliant on the Selby district Foodbank continues to rise, increasing by 97 per cent since 2016.

Just let that sink in.
