THE CONSERVATIVE manifesto was blasted as an uncosted “black hole” document yesterday by the BBC’s Andrew Marr, while shadow chancellor John McDonnell outlined Labour plans to end the government’s benefit freeze.

Work and Pensions Secretary Damian Green was accused by Mr Marr of double standards for demanding that Labour’s manifesto be fully costed while failing to provide figures for Tory pledges.

On the programme that bears his name, Mr Marr pointed to the Labour manifesto, which he said showed “very detailed costings.”
