“Labour’s mantra is that it has no plans to increase the taxes of working people…When politicians say they have no plans, it usually means they do, but they're just not telling us.”

Andrew Neil is joined by The Times’s policy editor Oliver Wright and economist Liam Halligan to dissect Labour’s manifesto.

    What Labour hasn’t admitted is that the home owners, landlords, motorists, all business owners, pensioners, and many others will be hit with tax rises. Just going about our daily lives car fuel taxes will rise, vehicle licensing will rise, insurance will be taxed, access to towns and cities will be taxed, ULEZ will be everywhere. Taxes on food and drink will rise. Everything will get more expensive so taxes are raised for Labour’s pledges.
  • They might as well print their manifestos on toilet paper for how long they last after they get in power. They should all start with "this is a work of fiction "
  • ULEZ is a huge tax on working people! No mention of Foreign Aid? Inheritance Tax? Taxing Pensions, Savings and Investments? Council Tax and Capital Gains?
  • I like the proposal from Reform. No income tax until you are earning £20k. Higher rate tax only kicks in at £70k. Why are these proposals not being discussed by the media? We deserve to know more.
  • Council tax is stuck in 1991? Mine has gone up year by year since then, and is now the most expensive in England.
  • No one is bringing up the cost of Labour’s Green policies of forcing you to get a heat pump and ending the use of petrol and diesel cars.
  • The labs are vague about everything, i wish they would just vague off
  • Council tax bands haven't changed but councill tax has. The band is now just a property rating. The valuation has nothing to do with what we pay. To assume any other is pure ignorance.
  • Wait until motorists get their tax bills. car tax fuel tax it will go up under the guise of being green tax.

    I'm a higher rate tax payer: Fix the country and charge me my fair share of the bill. I don't want to live in a country as broken as this anymore.

    The more Labour promises not to put up tax the more I expect them to come after private pensions. Public sector pensions will only ever get better.
  • Labour's manifesto 'gobbledygook in print', Labour can say what they're going to do because they don't know the state of the books are in yet...
  • Plus the Labour Manifesto does not reveal that Starmergeddon has a certain Tony Blair as his Chief Advisor (SPAD).

    They can’t touch Council Tax unless they want to be just a one term government - it would be insane and poll tax all over again
