will unpack that figure, but first, here's our political editor chris mason. 0n last night's tv debate, rishi sunak said this. higher taxes, sunak said this. highertaxes, £2000 sunak said this. higher taxes, £2000 worth of higher taxes under the labour party. and again. by and again. by saddling them with £2000 worth of higher taxes. and over and over again. independent treasury officials have costed labours policies, and they amount to a £2000 tax rise for every working family. keir starmer did eventually say it was false, but that wasn't the end of it. here was one of the prime minister's closest allies in the breakfasts over this morning. i have worked in the treasury, and i can tell— i have worked in the treasury, and i can tell you — i have worked in the treasury, and i can tell you these are brilliant independent civil servants, and they would _ independent civil servants, and they would not _ independent civil servants, and they would not be putting anything dodgy in there _ would not be putting anything dodgy in there. these are all the policies that have — in there. these are all the policies that have been set up by the labour party. _ that have been set up by the labour party. and _ that have been set up by the labour party, and actually, if anything, they— party, and actually, if anything, they are — party, and actually, if anything, they are underestimating the cost to families _ families. and look at what she said families. — and look at what she said next. it has been signed off by the permanent
for 18—year—olds, rishi sunak also did his first video on the conservative party's tiktok account. hi, tiktok, sorry to be breaking into your usual politics—free feed, but i'm making a big announcement today and i've been told that a lot of you already have some views on it. so, first thing — no, i'm not sending everyone off to join the army. what i am doing is proposing a bold new model of national service for 18—year—olds. well, i want to bring in shona ghosh from bloomberg. everyone here listening to rishi sunak there. give us the basics, shona, because lots of people will think of tiktok as a platform for kids... mm. ..who clearly don't vote, but who is consuming political content on tiktok? so tiktok itself has been trying to dispel the idea that it is mostly a platform, an app used by children. and that seems to be true. erm, it is also widely used by the elder millennials... ..won�*t say which camp i'm in, and also gen z, erm, you know, which is a pretty big cohort
labour party�*s policies. but a couple of hours ago the conservatives will have been delighted because there is a debate about labour�*s tax policy. if in a labour say the figure was a debate. now there is a debate developing about rishi sunak�*s honesty and that is not good for the prime minister. and cricketing year was on the programme this morning saying that this whole at £2000 tax rise line was signed off by the treasury secretary, at their chief treasury civil servant. and now we see a letter that says it wasn�*t. that civil servant. and now we see a letter that says it wasn't. that is particularly _ letter that says it wasn't. that is particularly embarrassing - letter that says it wasn't. that is particularly embarrassing for - letter that says it wasn't. that is i particularly embarrassing for her because she didn�*tjust make the same attack as rishi sunak, she defended the attack by saying it had been specifically approved by a man who is the permanent secretary at the treasury, the most senior official there. this is a letter that he sent a labour politician a
it is right to say that taxes have gone up. this is the tax take since the last general election, compared to the size of the economy. you can see it�*s gone up quite a lot — in part because income—tax thresholds have been frozen — which means, as you earn more money in line with inflation, you pay more tax. rishi sunak has cut national insurance recently, but — as you can see from this graph here — overall, taxes are up. just to give you a flavour of what that means for people on different incomes... you are worse off if you�*re earning £15,000. if you earn 35,000 or 55,000, you�*re a bit better off. you�*re worse off if you earn £75,000. next, have a look at the exchange on the nhs — here�*s what we heard in the debate. but we are now making progress — the waiting lists are coming down. but what keir starmer... hang on. ..didn�*t mention to you... ..which you did, julie... waiting lists were 7.2 million, they�*re now 7.5 million, he says they�*re coming down — and this is the guy who says
issue with it as someone who can spot accuracy as statistics is it is a meaningless number on its own terms because it is assuming every household pays the same amount of tax, and any changes would be applied equally to every single household, so from a basic arithmetic point of view, it is not accurate to the world. even if you have no issue with any of the mathematics, it is times to buy for because it is talking about over a four—year period. because it is talking about over a four-year period.— because it is talking about over a four-year period. most people, to the extent — four-year period. most people, to the extent to _ four-year period. most people, to the extent to which _ four-year period. most people, to the extent to which we _ four-year period. most people, to the extent to which we think- four-year period. most people, to| the extent to which we think about tax bills, _ the extent to which we think about tax bills, are likely to think of them — tax bills, are likely to think of them on _ tax bills, are likely to think of them on an annual basis. gr tax bills, are likely to think of them on an annual basis. or even monthl . them on an annual basis. or even monthly- and _ them on an annual basis. or even monthly. and then _ them on an annual basis. or even monthly. and then there - them on an annual basis. or even monthly. and then there is - them on an annual basis. or even monthly. and then there is the i them on an annual basis. or even i monthly. and then there is the issue about the role _ monthly. and then there is the issue about the role of— monthly. and then there is the issue about the role of the _ monthly. and then there is the issue about the role of the treasury, i about the role of the treasury, secondly — about the role of the treasury, secondly making clear the fact that the treasury does the numbers and there _ the treasury does the numbers and there is— the treasury does the numbers and there is a _ the treasury does the numbers and there is a convention here, in previous— there is a convention here, in previous governments of various colours — previous governments of various colours have done it. they run the numbers _ colours have done it. they run the numbers based on the assumptions handed _ numbers based on the assumptions handed to _ numbers based on the assumptions handed to them by the political advisers — handed to them by the political advisers. there is an element in the
