Summary

  1. A letter from the chief Treasury civil servant has cast doubt on the Conservatives’ claims of £2,000 tax rises under Labour over four years
  2. Rishi Sunak said in last night’s TV debate: “Independent Treasury officials have costed Labour’s policies and they amount to a £2,000 tax rise for every working family”
  3. But the chief Treasury civil servant wrote to Labour two days ago saying the assessment “should not be presented as having been produced by the civil service”
  4. Labour’s Jon Ashworth says it’s “slam-dunk proof of Rishi Sunak’s big desperate lie”
  5. The Conservatives insist their figures were “fair to Labour”, using Labour costings or official Treasury costings
