Harriet Harman, Labour’s Shadow Deputy Prime Minister, commenting on the launch of the Lib Dem manifesto today said:

“People know that the Lib Dems are every bit as much to blame as the Tories. They have backed the Tories every step of the way while people’s living standards have fallen and the NHS has been going backwards. 

“People know that the Lib Dems’ manifesto can’t be trusted. They broke the key promises in their last manifesto and are repeating them once again. People will remember the Lib Dems’ record on trebling tuition fees, wasting £3bn on the NHS and increasing VAT and know their promises for the future can’t be trusted.   

“This country needs change - not the same Lib Dem broken promises.”
