40,000 Brits die every year from air pollution, yet there's nothing about it in the Tory manifesto: The Conservative manifesto has confirmed what many have feared for a long time: Tories are unable to be serious about air quality.  In the 88-page document, which will set out the direction of Theresa May’s government if she is elected on 8 June, there is a feeble plan to tackle the illegal levels of pollution in the air breathed by millions of Britons every day.  Instead, a couple of lines about “healthy towns and cities” and a promise to plant more trees.
