Shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves has accused Rishi Sunak of lying about Labour's tax plans in his first TV debate against Sir Keir Starmer as she revealed the party has "no plans to increase taxes on working people." Ms Reeves said: "Rishi Sunak lied twelves times in the debate last night about Labour's tax plans. The truth is it's the Conservatives who have taken the tax burden to the highest it's been in seventy years."

00:00 Well the letter from the permanent secretary of the Treasury confirms what
00:04 Labour have said last night. The Prime Minister lied in the debate last night.
00:09 Labour has no plans to increase taxes on working people. In fact I have ruled out
00:15 increases in income tax, national insurance and VAT for the duration of
00:21 the next Parliament. Well it's Rishi Sunak who lied 12 times in the debate
00:25 last night about Labour's tax plans. The truth is it's the Conservatives that
00:30 have taken the tax burden to the highest it's been in 70 years. That is the
00:34 Conservatives record and their legacy.
