00:00What we saw this morning was Labour's tax trap manifesto.
00:04It only contained tax rises, no tax cuts whatsoever.
00:09Under their own published plans, the tax burden in this country
00:13will rise to levels never seen before.
00:16And that's not including the £2,000 of tax that they want to levy
00:20on every working family across the country.
00:23So actually what's really important is not what is in this manifesto
00:26but what isn't in it.
00:27They haven't ruled out taxing your home, your car, your pension.
00:31Everyone at home needs to be under no illusions.
00:33Taxes will rise under the Labour Party.
00:36What is clear is that the Conservatives have a plan for this country
00:39and the Labour Party have no plan other than putting up your taxes.
