It's the moment voters have been waiting for: Al Murray’s Free United Kingdom Party (FUKP) has unveiled its ‘manifesto’ - on the back of a fag packet.

The Pub Landlord comedian is standing against Nigel Farage in South Thanet as a parody campaign.

While the Tories put house ownership at the centre of their campaign and Ukip promised a “low tax revolution,” at the heart of the FUKP’s manifesto were pledges to "make more stuff, sell it for profit" followed by "build new houses for people who make stuff to live in".

Their third manifesto pledge is "teach more stuff in school" - ahead of "something about nurses (people like nurses)".
