Boris Johnson’s manifesto shows fantasist Jeremy Corbyn will splurge £28 for every £1 spent by the Tories

BORIS Johnson's sensible manifesto plans will see the Tories spend just £1 for every £28 splurged by "reckless" Jeremy Corbyn.

The PM wants to spend around £3billion on extra day-to-day spending compared to Jeremy Corbyn's £83billion, the small print revealed in today's Conservative party manifesto.

That works out at £28 to every £1 the Tories will spend day-to-day.

And it does include a promise revealed earlier by John McDonnell - to compensate Waspi women for their pensions losses - estimated to be an extra £58billion over five years.

The news will be welcome relief for Brits who want the PM to spend more on the NHS and tax cuts for the lowest earners, but who also want to be able to trust the Tories to run the country's finances soundly.

Labour has promised to splurge billions of pounds extra in the manifesto, ballooning the size of the state.

Boris Johnson has claimed their mega bucks spending plans will cost every Brit £2,500 extra in tax.

Meanwhile, Labour's capital spending plans over the last Parliament are astronomical too.

Jeremy Corbyn wants to splash out around £270billion for investment, compared to the Tories who want to spend £100billion.

Other new promises revealed by Boris today include:

• • A tax triple lock to freeze rates of income tax, National Insurance and VAT for the next five years
  • Cutting fuel bills by spending £6.3bn on insulation and energy efficient measures for 2.2m families in social housing
  • Protecting OAP perks by guaranteeing the pensions triple lock, winter fuel payments and bus passes
  • Bringing back NHS bursaries for nurses
  • Vowing to back our "fantastic" troops with the same funding

Torsten Bell, Chief Executive of the Resolution Foundation, said today the Tory manifesto was modest compared to Labour's.

He said: "Brexit is happening, but big tax cuts aren’t. That is the short version of an already very short Conservative manifesto.

"Austerity will end whoever wins this election, given previously announced increases to public service spending and Conservative manifesto plans for up to £20 billion of infrastructure spend. "However, the country still faces a very big choice on the size of the state it wants in this election."

He went on: “Conservative plans for a £3 billion increase in current spending contrast with Labour’s proposed £83 billion increase – which has increased to £95 billion following today’s WASPI pledge.

"Labour are proposing a German-sized state of around 45 per cent of GDP, while the Conservatives are aiming to go Dutch at around 41 per cent.

"This would still amount to the biggest increase in the size of the state under a Conservative Prime Minister since Harold Macmillan."
