The Tories today released a doctored video of Labour MP Jess Phillips apparently undermining her own party ahead of its manifesto launch.

Ms Phillips appeared on Good Morning Britain on October 3 to discuss her book and told of the "huge amount" of violent death threats she's received due to her Brexit position.

The video was reaired this morning during an interview with shadow education secretary Angela Rayner.

The Conservative Party's Twitter account released an altered version of the clip with the kicker "Labour manifesto to launch" to make it look like she was on the ITV show this morning.

They captioned the clip: "MUST WATCH: Labour's Jess Phillips undermines Corbyn's manifesto by admitting they can't or won't deliver on their promises. With no clear plan for Brexit, Labour just can't deliver."

A slogan on the video reads: "Labour: Not sure we can deliver on our promises".

Speaking to Susanna Reid and Ben Shepherd, Ms Phillips says that political parties cannot guarantee everything they promise in manifestos as "things change".

The Tories edited the clip to make it look like she was being asked directly about Labour's manifesto which was launched this morning.

You can watch a video of Ms Phillips on GMB last month below.

Ms Phillips condemned the video, telling the Independent: "It is totally misleading to share it in this context, but I can’t say I’m shocked because Boris Johnson and his party have shown themselves to be serial liars.

“I realise they wouldn’t recognise a politician speaking honestly, so it must be difficult for them.

“Nothing that was in the Tory manifesto has been delivered, so they really don’t have a leg to stand on anyway.”

The CCHQ press Twitter account later tweeted a corrected version of the clip with the caption: "This clip was rebroadcast this morning on GMB, but for avoidance of doubt, we’ve replaced our original video with the original broadcast date last month.

"Corbyn broke his manifesto promise to respect the referendum result, you can't trust Corbyn to deliver & Labour MPs know it."

It comes after the Tories launched a fake Labour manifesto website moments before the party's launch in Birmingham.

And the party have apparently paid Google to show the website as the top result for some users who search for the word "Labour".

The site, which features pictures of Jeremy Corbyn on a ' Labour red' background, has multiple overlapping headlines in a bid to appear like a poorly made website.

It claims to include "All you need to know about Labour’s 2019 manifesto " before moving to a series of Conservative attack lines.

The disclaimer "A website by the Conservative Party" appears at the top of the site, but is partially obscured by the background and overlapping text.

Some users reported searching for "Labour" on Google brought the website up as the top result, a paid advertising position on the search giant.

Google today announced plans to crack down on political advertising on its platform later this week.

The Conservative party has been repeatedly accused of misleading the public on social media in the election campaign.

During Tuesday night’s live TV debate between Jeremy Corbyn and Mr Johnson, the Tory press office altered its Twitter account to look like an independent fact checking service.

Their name changed to ‘factcheckUK’ for the duration of the ITV debate and the Conservative Party logo was removed from the page.

The @CCHQpress account is verified by Twitter, displaying a blue tick which is intended to denote that a user is genuine.

Yesterday Twitter warned that any further attempts to "mislead people" during the UK election will result in action.

But they faced calls to immediately suspend the Conservative account in line with their terms of service.

It's also not the first time the Tories have been accused of misleading the public with a video.

On November 5, they were accused of unfairly editing a video of Labour's Sir Keir Starmer, to make him appear unable to answer a question on Brexit. However, the party stood by the edit.
