This year, after continuing the freeze, she said she's "keeping every single one of our manifesto commitments".
Both things can't be true.

"It would finally correct the Tory wrong from 30 years ago, deliver the promise that Boris made but never kept, and finally make Brexit deliver something meaningful for ordinary people."
Would be pricey though.
