Tories criticised for 'plugging pie-in-the-sky tax cuts while slashing public services'

'Vote Plaid Cymru for functioning, well-funded public services' - Liz Saville Roberts

head of the Tories' manifesto launch today (Tuesday 11 June), Plaid Cymru Westminster leader, Liz Saville Roberts said:

"The Tories are today desperately plugging a pie-in-the-sky 2p National Insurance cut while slashing public services and abandoning the disabled and vulnerable. After 14 years of failure, people see through the bribes.

"We need honesty from the Westminster parties on tax policy. Our current tax system is unfair, with people like Rishi Sunak paying far less tax on investments than workers do on hard graft. Plaid Cymru would equalise tax on capital gains with income tax, which would raise £15 billion a year.

"Vote Plaid Cymru on 4 July for functioning, well-funded public services, not reckless cuts."
