The ludicrous claim has been  launched on the side of the bus by a leading Conservative. However, it’s a digital bus side this time.

This is emblematic of the problem with the absence of election advertising content regulation in the U.K.

Outlandish claims are a good way of a campaign generating earned media and starting a debate on a topic which suits your candidate. But it decays trust in both politics and advertising and eats away at important democratic norms.

This sort of thing must be stopped.
