The Conservatives have hijacked Google to cover up their dementia tax blunder which has sparked outrage amongst the electorate.
Labour has gained 11 points on the Tories in just three weeks after Theresa May unveiled controversial social care plans in her manifesto.
Under her plans there will be a significant shift in the way elderly care is paid for, with many people warning that it could deter older people from seeking care.
That, combined with means testing for winter fuel payments and ending the triple lock on pensions has put significant pressure on the Conservatives.
But they will do all they can to prevent you from finding out.
This weekend new adverts have started appearing on all search terms that relate to Dementia and the Conservatives new policy on it.
If you Google “dementia tax” the first result is an advert paid for by the Conservatives linking to a defence of the party’s social care plans – a crafty move, but with only a slight percentage of people clicking on ‘paid for’ placements will it be enough?

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.
Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
