ӣ2000 worse off in taxes"
That’s all he said wasn’t it?
Unelected, jug-eared, toffy-nosed midget
Edit: From the BBC-
The chief Treasury civil servant wrote to Labour two days ago saying that the Conservatives’ assessment of their tax plans “should not be presented as having been produced by the civil service”.
The letter from James Bowler, the Treasury permanent secretary, risks undermining Rishi Sunak’s claim in last night’s debate that Labour’s plans include £38bn of uncosted spending, which he says would mean £2,000 of tax rises per working household.
In a letter to Darren Jones, the shadow chief secretary to the Treasury, Bowler writes: “As you will expect, civil servants were not involved in the production or presentation of the Conservative Party’s document ‘Labour’s Tax Rises’ or in the calculation of the total figure used … the £38bn figure used in the Conservative Party’s publication includes costs beyond those provided by the Civil Service”.
“I agree that any costings derived from other sources or produced by other organisations should not be presented as having been produced by the Civil Service,” he adds.
He wanted to make it the slogan of the campaign and I think it probably will be, despite this revelation from the Treasury. Starmer really should have challenged this more robustly… or at all.
Well he did call him a liar to his face, that was challenge enough to me.
He even explained why it was a lie.
