LABOUR has belatedly called out Rishi Sunak for lying about the party’s tax plans after dozy Sir Keir Starmer had failed to do so in the televised leaders’ debate.
The Premier turned in an aggressive debate performance that pivoted on accusing Labour of raising tax bills by £2,000 a year, a charge which Sir Keir did not rebut for more than 45 minutes.
Labour eventually hit back, terming Mr Sunak’s figures false and adding that the Tories’ plans would lead to still bigger tax hikes.
