Tory dirty tricks this election (not comprehensive list)
- Edited Keir Starmer video then hid it when they were caught
- Disguised Tory HQ Twitter account as a (fake) fact checking service, then defended it
- Claimed Labour's policies would cost £1.2 trillion (groundless stat)
- Used the groundless £1.2 trillion figure to invent fictional £2,400 extra tax per person Labour would cost us
- Launched fake Labour manifesto website and bid to have it appear top of Google paid search results
- Claimed their NI cuts would save people £500 a year when it's £85
- Prevailed on Cabinet members and other senior figures to keep reinforcing the lies and debunked stats again and again on TV, radio and in print media
- Attacked the credibility of journalists trying to hold them to account
- Banned the Mirror from the Tory Battle Bus
- Ducked scrutiny, and refused to participate in debates (including Channel 4's climate change debate)
- Buried dodgy dossier on Russian interference in elections

Phew! And yet there's still nearly 3 weeks to go. Buckle up, everyone... it's going to get bumpy!
