Labour illustrate why ordinary people are better for the economy than billionaires in a cheeky new TV ad.
The Party Election Broadcast, the party's last TV pitch ahead of Thursday's local elections, goes out tonight for the first time.
It makes the case that money handed to ordinary people, in pay rises, pensions, welfare and business loans is an investment in local communities and stimulating the economy.
But their illustration shows a billionaire having forgotten about the £20,000 tax cut he's given at the beginning of the clip, before saying he's going to keep it "in the Cayman Islands, with the rest."

Andrew Gwynne, Shadow Local government and communities said: “Investment is far better for our communities and the economy than the destructive Tory policy of cutting local services to breaking point, and giving away the money of ordinary people to pay for tax breaks for the super rich.
"Under this Government, councils have seen half of their budgets stripped away and we are seeing how this plays out now with rising violent crime and cuts to our schools.

“The Tories have created chaos in our country, and a crisis in our local services and communities.
“Voters have a chance on Thursday to say enough is enough and invest in local schools, police and communities by electing a Labour council."
