A LETTER from a top civil servant in the Treasury has shown that claims made by Rishi Sunak in last night’s televised debate against Keir Starmer should not have been presented “as having been produced by the civil service”.At one point during the debate, he said: “Independent Treasury officials have costed Labour’s policies and they amount to a £2000 tax rise for every working family”.
"I agree that any costings derived from other sources or produced by other organisations should not be presented as having been produced by the Civil Service. “We saw it with Boris Johnson over parties in Downing Street in lockdown, and Rishi Sunak has exposed himself as no better and no different than Boris Johnson with his lies last night.”
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
