In full: Jeremy Hunt warns about Labour tax rises

Labour would put up taxes “as sure as night follows day”, Jeremy Hunt will warn on Friday as he sets out the Conservatives’ economic pitch ahead of the election.
During the address in central London, the Chancellor will accuse Sir Keir Starmer of using “playground politics” to disguise plans to hit families in the pocket so his big spending pledges can be funded.
Mr Hunt will point to taxes, jobs and welfare as three clear dividing lines between the Tories and Labour on the economy, and insist that he has a plan to boost growth by cutting taxes, creating jobs and cracking down on benefits.
It comes in a week where the Prime Minister fired the starting gun on the election campaign with a speech in which he warned that Labour presented a threat to the future security of the UK.

[@mriggst]

I thought he'd be warning about globalism

[@tobylynch]

All sounds good but it's not to help people. It's to make things worse. Believing is deceiving.

[@jeffmcninch6563]

I'm being crippled by the Tory taxes plus Scotlands 1% more income tax. Plus the hiatus still from the disgraceful gas and electricity hike. Pat on the back Mr _unt.

[@peterkirby2771]

Jeremy Hunt should immediately resign over the Blood scandal , He was in charge of the NHS for years and done nothing

[@greigsanderson]

Pot calling kettle black

[@deadman7009]

Zero seats, seats 0

[@IanScout1]

Mr Rhymes with spouting the same old rubbish. Bye Bye 4th July!

[@user-SubvurzIV]

I found the questions being asked to be suspiciously softball, so I went through and paused each time a question was asked and looked up who the journalists were:
Chris Hope - GB News
Sam lister - Daily Express
Jason Groves - Daily Mail
Harry Horton - ITV
Ryan Sabey - The Sun
Steve Swinford - The Times
Tim Stanley - The Telegraph
Nick Robinson - BBC
Darren McCaffrey - Sky
In fact the only journalist not staunchly right wing was Paul McNamara - Channel 4 News that had to barge his way in at the end and actually asked something challenging.
F**k me, he cant even look competent in a carefully curated, cherrypicked echo chamber.

[@999DaveUK]

Tories plan.... 4 years of raising taxes.... 6 months of giving something back.... Rinse and repeat

[@blink93221]

Man stands in front of the camera and lies, This is the most desperate despicable speech i have ever seen. What's worse is no journalist in the room questioned his LIES

[@DonnaHetherington]

Mr.Bean Jeremy c.....t strikes again !!! .

[@vvwalker7261]

I am not a fan of Hunt but i thought he came across well

[@tylerberks2756]

Honestly, same. I think he actually gave a decent speech on why the tories have had a struggle to keep the economy well. Not the biggest fan of the tories, but it was a good shot at an honest rebuttal

[@simpsonrob]

😂😂😂 nice try Jeremy cnt.
