Labour told us they wouldn’t raise taxes —yet today they have laid the ground to break their word and betray working families.

Following statements made in the House, I have written to the Cabinet Secretary on the concerning contradiction between the Main Estimates put before Parliament last week and the document presented by the Chancellor today.

24 days in office and over £24bn spent… it’s time for Labour to come clean as to whose decisions are making public finances worse.

By refusing to take the difficult decisions needed, Rachel Reeves will do what she planned all along like every Labour Chancellor in history - raise your taxes.

Today’s cut will be welcome news for millions of homeowners and shows that Labour inherited a stronger economy which was on the right track. In government, we took difficult decisions that cut inflation from 11.1 per cent to the Bank’s target 2.0 per cent paving the way for

The Chancellor is still committed to her economic con, regardless of the evidence. These are tax rises that she has planned right from the beginning, but simply did not have the courage to tell the British public about during the election. express.co.uk/comment/expres…

Keir Starmer's speech today was the clearest indication of what Labour has been planning to do all along - raise your taxes.

The Chancellor’s attempt to blame her economic inheritance on her decision to raise taxes - tax rises she had always planned - will not wash with the public. Reeves and Starmer have spent weeks talking down the economy, whilst simultaneously handing over billions in inflation
