UK general election LIVE: Rishi Sunak to launch Tory manifesto packed with tax cuts as Conservative leader invokes Margaret Thatcher to rejuvenate his dwindling campaign

Rishi Sunak will today invoke former Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher as he launches an election manifesto promising a wide range of tax cuts aimed at boosting his dwindling campaign.

The Prime Minister will say his party is on a ‘moral’ mission to cut taxes, with a further 2p cut in National Insurance and the abolition of stamp duty expected to be part of his blueprint.

The Conservatives will become the second party to unveil its manifesto after the Liberal Democrats on Monday with the Greens and Work will release theirs later this week.
