Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has launched the Conservative Party’s General Election manifesto in a high-profile event at Silverstone, home of the British Grand Prix, following a turbulent few day marked by his absence at the D-Day commemorations.
Sunak’s manifesto, aimed at revitalising the Conservatives’ prospects, is built around a series of economic and social pledges designed to appeal to a broad electorate. The key promises include further cuts to national insurance, the elimination of capital gains tax for landlords selling properties to their tenants, and the introduction of “protected pensions.” A significant pledge to halve migration and establish regular flights to Rwanda for Channel-crossing migrants also featured prominently.
