Andrew Griffith Labels Liberal Democrat Policies as 'Extremist' Ahead of Local Elections

Griffith criticizes Lib Dem proposals like veganism promotion and a four-day workweek, while Liberal Democrats dismiss the claims as bizarre.

Andrew Griffith, Shadow Business Secretary, has called Liberal Democrat policies such as promoting veganism and implementing a four-day workweek 'extremist.'
Griffith's remarks were made during interviews on Sky News and BBC, where he urged voters to support Conservatives to prevent such policies from taking hold in local councils.
The Liberal Democrats have dismissed his comments as 'bizarre' and 'frankly a bit weird,' highlighting past Conservative economic missteps under Liz Truss's leadership.
Griffith's statements have fueled discussions on potential coalition scenarios, including a possible Conservative-Reform alliance in the upcoming local elections.
The controversy underscores broader debates over local governance, ideological extremism, and party rivalries as voters prepare to decide council control.
