Meanwhile, the Prime Minister has been accused of making misleading claims about Labour's tax policies. Shadow Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds refuted Johnson's statement that Labour would raise taxes by £2,000, stating that it is a lie. Reynolds clarified that if Labour were to win the election, they would adhere to the government's existing spending plans, which include some tax increases already outlined.

In light of the upcoming general election on July 4th, Reynolds highlighted that Labour would inherit the government's spending plans, which include freezing the personal allowance for income tax for several years. Despite the tax rises outlined in these plans, Reynolds assured that there would be no extra burden on households under a Labour government.
