RISHI Sunak has been branded a Liz Truss tribute act after unveiling a raft of unfunded plans in the Tory manifesto.

The Prime Minister tried to rev up his election campaign with a policy blitz launch at Silverstone, the home of British motorsport.

But Labour has calculated the spending plans may slap £4,800 on mortgages over the next five years.

And experts say pledged Tory tax cuts would rely on £33billion of cuts to public services.

The PM, who admitted his party has not got everything right, said in his speech his plan would halve net migration, though that pledge is not in the manifesto..

And he said he would cut a further 2p from National Insurance by 2027. The manifesto also vows to abolish the main rate of self-employed National Insurance.
