EXPOSED: Labour's Tax Rises Explained

[Rachel_M_]

Bye.... Don't let the door hit you on the way out...

[stuartwilson]

You say Labour does not have a plan then set out exactly what Labour plans will cost, so which is it?

[RH-xkso]

The Conservative Party's actions contributed towards my mortgage rising by £300 PCM. That's £3, 600 a year or £5, 400 to date.

[markdeans]

Well… the Conservatives have ruled over the largest tax burden since WWII AND The Spectator Magazine used the same method to cost Conservative spending commitments and came in at … £3500ish/annum! You have to laugh.

[gary]

Ahhh poor Rishi didn't have Sky ? He also didn't have any working-class friends.

[dave_dw]

Reality check: Tax burden highest in 70 years. The roads are full of potholes, our rivers are full of sewage, there are nasty sickness bugs showing up in tap water, e-coli outbreaks due to health & safety cuts, there are 5 hour waits for ambulances, people can't get a Doctor's appointment, NHS dentists are almost extinct, 600+ police stations closed since 2010, court system backlog, legal aid cuts, disabled people have taken their own lives due to cruel welfare reforms, housing is unaffordable, homelessness and food banks visible all over the country, political sleeze & constant chaos...

If you think the Tories will win - Start packing.

[TheNikolius]

As Neville Chamberlain heard in his last day as prime minister; IN THE NAME OF GOD, JUST GO!!!!

[AlphabetB]

You caused all of this and we've been stuck if not reversing as a country for ages.
Repeating something and expecting change is the definition of idiocy and we're not that anymore

[connie]

If you need to lie to us just pack up and leave... Why don't you say what you want to do for us, Labour can speak for themselves. We are not stupid!!!

[stephenbourne]

And conservatives plan is to reduce welfare (target the poorest in society). I would rather pay more for better services, rather than let you destroy services more, widened the wealth gap, to look after the top 1%. If you want my vote be honest, stop avoiding the real issue. We need to close the gap between the top in society (those that avoid tax and live off assets, and those that work 12 hour days and still have to use a food bank).

[alessiocortez]

Zero Seats, the one conservative strategy that is working ;)

[awwasson]

2094? Is that when the Tory’s will next be in government?

[Spedley_]

Imagine doing all that homework and then making an incorrect assumption for your conclusion.
£38.529bn / 18.4m is not how the tax system works.
Here's why:
Last year the government raised £1095bn in taxes. Divide that by 18.4m and you get £59, 511.
So by Tory figures every household is paying nearly £60, 000 per year in taxes.
If their maths is that bad, no wonder national debt went up by £300million every day for 14 years!

[sandywilliams]

Already signed off by the treasury?
That would be the current government spending then, wouldn't it?

[gavinmacbride]

I suspect “you’re probably not going to read all that” is a pretty key component of this argument

[TheYoudem]

So this video basically says to fix things it costs money... who would have thought..

[steveneland]

Yes please. I would gladly hand over an additional £502 per year if the next government sort this chaos out. My mortgage went up by more than that per month after the mini budget.

[Kefford]

She’s saying it like it’s a bad thing. A few hundred each year for a better country is well worth it. Bloody end austerity now! Time for some growth and rebuilding.

[GeorgePennellMartin]

They're using a piggy bank in their adverts because they're telling porkies. 😆

[sarahkb]

Yes I came to the comment section, and it did not disappoint. They've been lowering taxes, so the next government has no choice but to increase them to improve our lives or keep they'll have to keep underfunding much needed government departments and community outreach
