The Tories tried to slam Labour with a dodgy graphic and it backfired miserably

The Tories have been roasted for revealing their levels of delusion via a graphic attacking the Labour Party.

Responding to a story about a Labour u-turn on a policy to introduce rent controls in the housing sector, the Tories implied that Labour were in a state of chaos - ironically.

They wrote: "Labour flip flopped on housing no less than a few hours ago…. How Sir flip flop can preach about housing is a joke," before adding a graphic which said "0 days since last incident".

The issue they were responding to was the opposition party ditching a pledge to control surging rents if it wins the next general election – nine months after endorsing the policy.

At a conference, Lisa Nandy called the approach as a "sticking plaster" and claimed it would increase homelessness.
