Shadow defence secretary John Healey has ruled out raising taxes on working people.
It comes as Rishi Sunak accused Labour of increasing taxes by £2,000 per family should they get into government.
"We will not be raising income tax or VAT or national insurance - these are the things that count most as people are trying to manage their work income and family budgets," Mr Healey said.
