we won't increase income tax or national insurance. - in fact, we oppose the increases to national insurance _ when rishi sunak put those forward as chancellor. - so that is a very expensive commitment. in other words, that's a huge amount of money that she would not have to play with if she's lucky enough to become the chancellor in six weeks' time. but isn't this what labour were saying anyway? i thought they said they weren't going to put taxes up. they've said generically that they don't want to increase taxes on working people. that is absolutely not the same as saying, "i am not going to do these things." very, very different in the context of a campaign. yeah, and also, given that there's been two cuts in national insurance by this conservative government, the fact that she says she's not going to put up national insurance presumably means there's a big gap in what she's capable of spending as well. that's right. and remember, the context to whoever wins is that the public kipper, the public books is pretty disastrous, right? there is a huge amount of debt. massive, massive, massive.
