Ruth Cadbury; Labour's Manifesto promise
'New deal for first time buyers - no stamp duty on your first home'

Labour MPs have voted against the proposed cut in stamp duty, despite backing it in their manifesto just six months ago. Overall, 228 Labour MPs voted against the second reading of the Finance Bill which includes the tax cut first outlined in the Budget. Shadow Treasury minister Jonathan Reynolds admitted this “was a Labour policy included in our manifesto for the June 2017 general election”, yet Labour MPs queued up to oppose the tax cut.

Breathtaking given Ruth's recent critical budget comments
