It doesn't mention the other EU countries laughing us out of the room when we go cap in hand seeking trade deals.
My favourite paragraph in the whole manifesto is "Support reopening of Manston airport " That'll solve all our transport problems and make talk of a third runway at Heathrow unnecessary!
Wait a minute. Support reopening of which airport? Manston, an airfield situated in, wait for it, Thurrock, which just happens to be a seat being contested by Nigel Farage. A national manifesto hijacked for a local cause!
On second thought, my use of the word 'putrid' is not quite right. a much stronger word is probably needed.......
