Conversly, Starmer - elected in July 2024 - has enacted 57 of Labour's 83 manifesto Pledges.
And Kemi wants to reverse them all.

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.
