The Labour Party has launched a scathing attack on the Conservative Party in the form of a new four poster campaign. The launch of the campaign coincides with the Government reshaping having introduced its fourth Chancellor of the Exchequer in as many months.
The fresh wave of attacks comes at a turbulent time for the Conservatives who find themselves a long way behind Labour in some of the leading polls.

Another one of the posters shows the Prime Minister and the now former Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng as crash test dummies. The image is partnered with the heading: "These dummies have crashed the economy".
The third poster is text heavy and reads "Tory recklessness is ruining Britain’s standing on the world stage. Only Labour has a plan to restore it" below a larger heading of “Britain’s reputation in tatters” accompanied by a shredded Union Jack flag.
The final poster contains the text "Thousands of hard-working families pay an extra £500 a month on their mortgage” and the message of mortgage rates going “through the roof”.

"After 12 years of stagnation, excuses are all they have left. The change this country needs is a Labour government."
