Labour responds to reports that Conservative candidates are running as 'local Conservatives'

Angela Rayner MP, Labour’s Deputy Leader, responding to the Guardian report on Conservative candidates running as ‘local Conservatives’, said:

“It speaks volumes that Boris Johnson’s own Conservative candidates are ashamed to be associated with him and trying to pull the wool over voters' eyes.

“With no answers to the cost of living crisis, Tory candidates are trying to hide from their own Government’s record."

“A vote for Labour on Thursday is a vote to send the Conservatives a message they can’t ignore. Britain deserves better.”
