Tax hikes ruled out under Labour - Reeves

RACHEL Reeves has ruled out increases to income tax or national insurance under a Labour government.

The shadow chancellor made the pledge after saying both she and Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer want taxes on working people to be lower, although she noted she would not put forward “unfunded proposals”.

Speaking to BBC One’s Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg programme yesterday, Ms Reeves also said she did not want to make any cuts to public spending but was unable to give cast-iron guarantees and instead pointed to the need to conduct a spending review if she was in the Treasury.
