EdStone
The EdStone was a 2.6 meter tall stone tablet commissioned by the Labour Party in 2015 with six election pledges carved into it. The stone was unveiled in a car park in Hastings and Rye on May 3, 2015, and was intended to illustrate Labour's commitment to its promises. However, the stone was widely ridiculed and became a source of embarrassment for the party, with many comparing it unfavorably to the stone tablets in the story of Moses and the Ten Commandments. The Labour Party was also criticized for failing to disclose the cost of the stone in its election finances report, leading to a fine by the Electoral Commission. After Labour's poor performance in the election, the location of the stone became the subject of speculation, with the party refusing to disclose its whereabouts.learn more on wikipedia
