Economist Justin Urquhart Stewart says Rishi Sunak’s claim that Labour would impose £2,000 in tax rises ‘is hard to substantiate’.
The Prime Minister repeatedly highlighted the claim during his ITV head-to-head debate with Sir Keir Starmer, claiming “independent Treasury officials” have costed Labour’s policies “and they amount to a £2,000 tax rise for everyone”.
But the Treasury’s permanent secretary James Bowler said ministers had been told not to suggest civil servants produced the figure at the heart of the Tory attack.
Justin says: “They are at the stage of throwing out big headlines that are going to be the big stories for the next five weeks.”
