British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is due to unveil his Conservative Party manifesto on Tuesday, in who promises voters "financial security" before the parliamentary elections, reports AFP.
"We Conservatives have a plan to provide you with financial security," he will say, according to quotes from his speech released in advance. We will give working people the opportunity to keep more of the money you earn because you earned it and you have the right to choose what to spend it on.
Polls show Sunak and the Conservatives are likely to suffer a heavy defeat from the main opposition Labor Party in the July 4 election.
His campaign has faced an uphill battle in recent days, including criticism of his early exit from D-Day events.
The Tories have promised further tax cuts since the start of the campaign and have accused Labour, led by Keir Starmer, of wanting to increase the tax burden on households.
"We know what socialists always do: they take more of your money," he said on Tuesday.
Last week he was accused of lying during his televised debate with Starmer for using disputed figures to claim Labor was planning to raise taxes.
With less than three weeks to go until the election, opinion polls still show Labor leading the Conservatives by around 20 points. The anti-immigration party "Reform Britain" , led by Nigel Farage, is in third place.
The Conservatives, who have been in power for 14 years, are bearing the brunt of the difficulties caused by Brexit, scandals in former Prime Minister Boris Johnson's government and the cost of living crisis that has hit Britons since 2022.
In an interview with the BBC on Monday night, Sunak admitted that "it's getting harder" to become a home owner and promised measures to correct the situation.
We recall that at the end of May, after speculation, Sunak confirmed that the elections would be held in a few weeks on July 4. National elections in Great Britain will be held in the second half of the year, he said shortly before.
In the United Kingdom, parliamentary elections - in which MPs are elected to Parliament - are held every five years.
The latest the next election could legally be held is January 28, 2025, but Sunak has the power to call earlier.
To hold an election, the Prime Minister must first ask the King to dissolve Parliament. Voting usually takes place 25 days later.
