Martin Lewis has called out the Conservative Party after they posted a video of him on social media
A furious Martin Lewis has hit back at the Conservative Party for misusing a video of him on social media, which misleadingly suggested he had indicated Labour would raise taxes. The Money Saving Expert founder dismantled the Tory's social media post, clarifying that "NO WHERE" in the clip did he mention taxes.
He recounted: "I had a conversation with a senior member of the Labour Party, a private conversation, as I do with both parties and the exact phrase they used with me, when I asked about a particular policy, they said: 'We're not putting it in our manifesto because I can't commit. We'll do it but it is my aim we will do it over the next Parliament'," reports the Mirror.
The Tories have been pushing tax issues to the forefront of their election campaign, yet they've faced corrections over claims that Labour would hike taxes by £2000. This figure is contentious, as it's based on projections from Conservative advisers, spans four years, and applies to entire households rather than individuals.
During the debate, the PM alleged that "independent Treasury officials have costed Labour's policies and they amount to a £2,000 tax rise for every working family". However, the next day, the Treasury's top civil servant refuted this claim.
