JOHN MCDONNELL was left red-faced after appearing to be caught out by his own quote in a Sky News interview this morning.
Sky News presenter Sophy Ridge accused Mr McDonnell of changing his stance over a new tax pledge, which she claimed he had ruled out in a Q&A session days before. Later in the week, however, the Labour manifesto was released - including the policy itself. Mr McDonnell denied misleading voters. Ms Ridge played the clip of Mr McDonnell answering the question before confronting the Labour MP on it.
