Government: Labour’s manifesto contains tax rises, not cuts
Laura Trott said Labour’s manifesto “only contained tax rises, no tax cuts” as she repeated the disputed Tory claim that the rival party’s policies would cost every family £2,000.
The Chief Secretary to the Treasury told broadcasters: “What we saw this morning was Labour’s tax trap manifesto.
It only contained tax rises, no tax cuts whatsoever." Report by Covellm.
