Tim Bale, Professor of Politics, has spoken to AFP about accusations the Conservative Party are stretching the truth, describing some comments as "pretty Trumpian".
"There's a degree to which this is following the Steve Bannon playbook of flooding the zone,"
"So that you actually create a question in people's minds as to what is and isn't real. And in the end, people just decide to go on their gut, rather than actually on any kind of objective truth or facts,"
