Tory sums don't add up and the party’s policies don't make sense

15th February 2010

The Tories botched proposals for co-operatives in the public sector and the shocking error on teenage pregnancy figures show just how confused and out of touch the party is, just months before a general election.

Derek Simpson, Unite joint general secretary, said: "In just one day alone the country has witnessed the Tories crash and burn with botched plans for the public sector and a gross distortion of the truth about teenage pregnancy. The party’s sums don't add up and its policies don't make sense.

"David Cameron is getting it wrong every time. The Tories insult the country's intelligence with every u-turn, every distorted statistic and every botched policy announcement. With only months before the election it is clear that the Tories are not fit to run the country."
