Public trust in politicians is at an all-time low, democracy campaigners say, and attack ads distract from tackling the serious issues the country faces.
The signatories called on the three political leaders to cease attack ads and agree to campaign with"respect and compassion", warning the current political climate is an impediment to the"constructive consensus" required to tackle the challenges the country faces.
"These kinds of adverts - which erode trust, increase hate, and stoke fear - make doing the possible virtually impossible. "At a time when we face a climate crisis, worsening inequality, and increasing intolerance we need informed and constructive debate." The letter comes after the Labour Party launched a series of"attack ads" taking aim at Rishi Sunak over his stance on gun crime, sexual assault perpetrators and his personal tax status.The Tories have attempted to turn the table recently, with attacks on Sir Keir Starmer's record as Director of Public Prosecutions.Related Topics
