Scottish Lib Dem boss Willie Rennie unveils party’s ‘commit card’ – in strikingly similar style to Ed Miliband’s much-mocked 2015 Ed Stone

SCOTTISH Lib Dems boss Willie Rennie has today unveiled the party’s ‘commit card’ – and it looks awfully familiar.

Smaller versions of the poster card are going to be send to voters in key constituencies in the run up to the June vote.

But the blown-up pledge placard definitely rings a bell – have we seen it somewhere before?

Today’s ‘commit card’ – which promises to oppose a second independence referendum, oppose Brexit and invest more in education and mental health – has a strikingly similar style to Ed Miliband’s much-mocked Ed Stone.

The then-Labour leader promised to put the eight-foot high statue in the garden of Downing Street if he won the 2015 election.

The Scot Lib Dem’s version is made of correx, and quite a bit smaller than Ed’s, however.

And he gave it the personal touch too with his own signature on the front – much like Mr Miliband’s.

A Lib Dem spokesperson told The Sun Online today there was “no causality or similarity” between the Ed Stone and Willie – nicknamed the ‘Ren Dog’s’ – pledge cards. And the versions they would be sending to voters would be far smaller.

In fact, they said they were an attempt to mimic Tory Blair’s pledge cards – sent out to voters just before Labour’s third election victory in 2005.

Yesterday presenter Ben Fogle claimed he had found a version of the Stone from the failed campaign – in a post London restaurant.

He was among several diners to report seeing the political artefact while eating at the Ivy Chelsea Garden in West London.

The much-mocked original was last known to have been stored in a warehouse in Woolwich, South London, as of May 16, 2015, before reportedly being destroyed.

But diners at the eatery spotted a remarkably similar rock – emblazoned with six promises below the words “A Better Plan. A Better Future” – nestled between bushes in the outside area.

The restaurant’s owners, Caprice Holdings, claimed the tablet was bought shortly after the election.

The whereabouts of the original were shrouded in mystery after the Tories swept to power in 2015.

The stonemasons behind the eight-foot limestone block said they believed it had been “smashed”, adding that they had never been asked to make another.

The tablet helped land Labour a £20,000 fine from the Electoral Commission after the party omitted two payments totalling £7,614 relating to the eight-foot block from its election campaign spending return.
