Tory Minister Called Out Over Rishi Sunak's £2000 Tax Fib!
Bim Afolami, the Economic Secretary to the Treasury, was called out by Sophy Ridge of Sky News about a fib his boss, Rishi Sunak, was using during the debate with Keir Starmer. That a Labour government would put up the taxes of working families by £2000.

I really wish they just cut the mic when the lies are flowing, but then they would be called "Biased" and the politician's would refuse to go on the show so they would go to the shows where they aren't cut off, hit back at or called a liar. Then they get a unfettered platform to spew nonsense (see GB News). Unfortunately letting them spew their lies and trust the general wider public have the ability to see or critically think for themselves is the only solution to this...

This guy would struggle with a Mr Men book. He 'doesn't recognise' Sophy Ridge's figure of £13,000 of tax rises under the Tories since 2019. And he's a member of the TREASURY? WHAAAT? You couldn't make this up. These people think we're all as thick as shit. They nauseate me with their lies.
Is it any wonder the country's finances are a mess with clowns like this in the treasury.
Well done Sophie, keep holding these Tory liars to account!
I don’t recognise that figure is a standard cop out when Tories are caught out lying.
‘Oh what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive.'
It's complicated to work out Tory taxes but simple to work out Labour taxes in the future!?

Good morning Max and all here ☕. Yes he does not even know how to answer 😭. What is he doing in government?
But point is the amount of money people would be left with would have been far greater if the Tory tax burden hadn’t been 13k. Of course he knows how much it’s increased but it would be damming to admit it. This man always, in every interview waffles his way through usually going of on a completely different subject.

And, if Labour are in office, you can bet your life that the Daily Fail and the like will be claiming they're not living up to their promises only a couple of weeks after the election. The Tories have always been best at dismantling and disrupting the services and the structures of the UK, leaving Labour to clear up the mess. And, clearing up somebody else's mess before getting on with the work of reconstruction isn't easy. Every Tory administration since WWII has left the economy in a worse state that when they took office. And that's a fact.

How does he have the nerve to say that peoples disposable income has increased. Another lie
The simplest way to answer this is: Is the tax burden at record levels? Are you better off after 14 years? The answer, I suspect, it's, "Yes' and "No". The tax spin from the tories must be challenged every time. The PPE scandal shows they can't be trusted.
What a liar. Typical Tory.

Why is no one asking the Tories to explain exactly how they get to this £2,000 figure?
Wow, disposable income has gone up c£70 PER YEAR after 14 years of tory government. Let's all doff our caps to our masters! Also, can everyone start calling out that if the same basis is used on tory proposals (carried out by Sky), every household in the UK would be £3,000 worse off under those tory proposals
