The Liberal Democrats would seek to bring the UK back into the European Union's single market, the party says in its manifesto. While policies on health and social care have been front and centre of their election campaign, the 114-page document also includes an aim 'to place the UK-EU relationship on a more formal and stable footing by seeking to join the single market'.
' The manifesto, titled For A Fair Deal, also promises not to increase income tax, VAT or national insurance. Other pledges announced on Monday include: • A plan to tackle the sewage crisis, ban bonuses for water company CEOs, and put environmental experts on company boards.• A Burglary Response Guarantee to ensure every burglary is attended by a police officer.
