Labour was mocked yesterday over a 'dodgy dossier' claiming the Tories' pledges would send annual mortgage payments soaring by £4,800.
This dispute comes after a separate row erupted last week over Tory claims that Labour's own plans would force taxes up on families by £2,094. Asked if she was not 'guilty here of doing the thing you accuse the Tories of?', she replied: 'So, if you go through the documents, particularly the scorecard, it sets out £71billion of unfunded commitments during the course of this Parliament.
And the document merely states 56 basis points 'could' be added to mortgage rates and that payments 'could' increase by £4,800.
