Your bite-size run-down of yesterday's key events

Flatlined figures

The Office for National Statistics published its estimate for April’s GDP and it wasn’t good news with growth predicted to have flatlined at 0%. This is particularly unfortunate for the Conservative Government who have been claiming they are the ones to trust when it comes to the economy…

Rish without a dish

Sunak’s D-day disaster made a comeback with the airing of the ITV interview he rushed back from the 80th commemoration to pre-record. He started by apologising for his lateness and told ITV’s Paul Brand that commemorations in Normandy “all just ran over”,  and then later went on to explain how he had gone without “lots of things” growing up, most notably Sky TV. Poor thing! And to think people complain he’s out of touch!

Three down

The Green Party launched their election campaign with their “Real Hope, Real Change’ manifesto in Brighton. The campaign centred around their £40 billion a year promise to fund a “green economic transformation” of the UK between now and 2029, which they plan to pay for using a wealth tax on the super rich. Notably, the Manifesto described their party as “pro-European, and proudly so,” and committed to joining the EU Customs Union, a speedy return to free movement and rejoining the Erasmus Programme, one of 114 recommendations <[link removed]> made by the UK Trade and Business Commission. As our Campaigns Director Cal Roscow said <[link removed]>, “In making these commitments, the Green Party is giving voice to the majority of British people who now understand that Brexit has been a disaster, can see the damage it is causing and want their representatives to do something about it.”

Davey makes a splash

Davey once again took to the water in order to promote his party’s policies. This time the Lib Dem leader attempted an “Aqua Jungle floating ropes course” to talk about a tougher water regulator to manage Britain’s “sewage scandal”.

Grilling in Grimsby

During last night's cross-examination by the voting public in Grimsby on Sky News, Keir Starmer defended his support for Jeremy Corbyn in the 2019 election and discussed plans to redirect funds from private school VAT tax breaks to state education. Rishi Sunak, looking notably exhausted, acknowledged public frustrations with his government, apologised for past mistakes, and emphasised his efforts to rebuild trust on areas such as immigration...albeit to an audience that seemed to have very little to give back to him.
