LIB DEM REACTION: Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg last night said he would offer a "manifesto you can trust" as he dismissed David Cameron's plans for government.
Mr Clegg described the Tory leader’s launch of his policy programme as a “manifesto of style over substance”.
He was determined to offer “something different” to the British people at the general election on May 6th.
The Lib Dem manifesto – published today – will contain “concrete, specific steps” instead of the “vague aspirational talk” offered by Labour and the Tories, Mr Clegg said. He seized upon the Tory decision to launch its manifesto at south London’s disused Battersea Power Station. “You can’t trust the Conservatives. “They have just launched a manifesto in a power station that doesn’t generate power. It’s a manifesto of style over substance.
“You can’t trust the Conservatives when they want to give tax breaks to double-millionaires, not tax breaks to everybody else.
“You can’t trust the Conservatives when they don’t want to clamp down on the bonuses of greedy bankers.
“You can’t trust the Conservatives when they don’t really want to clean out the corrupt state of politics in Westminster.”
