00:00 Labour like to criticise recent tax rises, thinking people don't know what caused them.
00:05 The furlough scheme, the energy price guarantee and billions of pounds in cost of living support.
00:11 But Labour supported those policies, which is why it is playground politics to use those
00:17 tax rises to distract debate from the biggest divide in British politics today.
00:24 Because Conservatives recognise that whilst those tax rises may have been necessary, they
00:30 should not be permanent.
00:32 Labour do not.
00:34 We are prepared to do the hard work to bring taxes back down, because we know that doing
00:40 so will lead to more growth for the economy, more prosperity for British families.
