S5·E30 Electioncast: Manifesting Manifestos

​​Today, Laura is joined by Faisal Islam and James Cook to talk about what we can expect in manifestos this week, and how parties say they’ll pay for policies. ​​They chat about the Conservatives’ announcement on welfare spending, Labour’s plans to build more prisons and Nigel Farage’s response to Rishi Sunak’s D-Day blunder. And we ask why the SNP didn’t mention Scottish independence on Friday’s debate.
