"Never have I heard such waffle": Maajid Nawaz reviews Boris Johnson's manifesto launch

Maajid Nawaz had some serious questions for Boris Johnson following his manifesto launch.

The Conservatives announced they would hire 50,000 more nurses and "get Brexit done", while not raising tax.

Maajid said there was a lot to like in the Prime Minister's speech, especially referring to his comments on Brexit and keeping the union together, as well as some of his top jokes.

But there were three things that rankled with Maajid, which he laid out on his LBC show.

He was not happy with the idea that he won't raise tax, while promising to increase spending, asking how on earth he was going to do that. And he noticed Mr Johnson didn't mention inequality, which is something that concerned him.

But it was his rambling response to a question about the Conservatives' controversial Twitter policy which frustrated him the most.
