TODAY the Queen officially dissolved Parliament meaning that this is the first official week of the election campaign. All MPs are now former MPs and whatever happens in the election; the next time Parliament sits it will look very different. A quarter of MPs have stepped down or retired including some who were shamed in last year’s expenses scandal.
This week sees political parties launch their manifestos with Labour revealing theirs later on today. The Tories will launch on Tuesday and Lib Dems on Wednesday. It might help with trying to define the differences between the parties and give a little more detail about the cuts that will have to be made. We’ll have to wait and see
