Bridget Phillipson, the education secretary, has stated time and again that she is unable to speculate on how Chancellor Rachel Reeves plans to close the country’s financial hole, which is believed to be more than twice as large as previously believed.
It is unclear exactly who is meant by “working people” when Labour stated in its manifesto that it would not increase national insurance, income tax, or VAT on them.
The person “whose main income arises from the fact that they go out to work every day” is what Ms. Phillipson told News.
She told Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips: You’re once again asking me to comment on topics that are for the chancellor, but she wouldn’t say if it meant someone who does this and has money.
She went on to say: We promised on our platform not to raise working people’s income taxes, national insurance, or VAT. We’ll stick to that. Additionally, they won’t see additional taxes on their paystubs following the budget.
