Every broken promise laid bare

Updated on the 30th of every month until we vote them out

1. "Maintain our commitment to spend 0.7% of GDP on development"

Instead they cut it to 0.5%

May not sound a lot but it means £4.5 billion less each year to help the poorest countries in the world

Part 3 “Raise standards in animal welfare, agriculture & the environment”

They didn’t. They voted against an amendment to maintain food & animal welfare standards in post brexit trade deals

Part 5 “Ensure that we are in full control of our fishing waters”

Of course they didn’t. Johnson caved in and agreed to EU fishing boats continuing to fish in British waters.

Part 7 “We promise not to raise National Insurance. This is a tax guarantee that will protect the incomes of hard-working families"

Instead they raised NI by 1.25%, hitting low earning workers hardest.

Part 8 "Those who have worked hard and put in for decades can be confident that the state will be there to support them when they need it. We will keep the triple lock"
