I didn’t have the misfortune to see Thursday’s political Party broadcast by the Tories, however it seems they got it completely wrong.

Shane Prescott starred in the Conservative party broadcast on Thursday, claiming his business had struggled because of the recession.

But Companies House records show the 51-year-old father-of-four’s loft conversion firm actually went into liquidation at the height of the boom in 2006.

It is believed when his business went into liquidation he owed £240,000 to creditors and £174,000 to Revenue and Customs. Source: Liverpool Daily Post.

As I always say don’t trust the Tories.

Hat Tip: Liberal Conspiracy.
