Secretary of State for Work and Pensions Mel Stride defended the Conservatives' record over the last 14 years, saying the party has "achieved a great deal," before using the response to the pandemic, reducing the rate of inflation and bringing taxes down as examples of the party's success.

"It's absolutely right that we make it clear what the alternative is," said the Tory minister as he warned about the possibility of Labour raising taxes.

  • The man who's passing legislation to spy on pensioners bank accounts is claiming to be on the side of pensioners . I don't think so .
  • Tories so proud that they brought taxes down a little from the highest they have been in 70 years. And I don't remember them saying any negative comments about their own 80 seat majority.
  • @ktdub02

    Conservatives with a large majority weren't at all concerned about being held to account. How does that work?

  • @PTSTEH20
    Why do Tories not concentrate on what would happen if they got back in instead of tarnishing other campaigns
  • @IsItTrue1
    It is true Labour will attack people’s taxes but let’s be honest. We don’t mind paying more tax to improve NHS services, getting fuel right and improving education. I just wish Labour would admit that they will.
  • Super majority IS NOT A THING IN UK POL;ITICS!!!!!!! It is an american thing and their political system is v diffrent
  • are we not on the highest tax since 1948 now so if it goes up wont it be highest since 2024
  • @ffotograffydd
    Why do they keep lying? Many pensioners are actually paying tax for the first time because of Conservative policies. That will actually end under a Labour government!
