@BBCNews For those questioning where the money comes from - over the last decade or so, inflation and UK tax receipts have gone up rapidly. So this isn't a pay rise. They are taking a proportionately larger slice from an expanding pie. And a deserved one at that.
@RichardJMurphy Reform standing this time took votes away from both Labour and the Tories. It's not a fair comparison. But I agree they failed to win hearts - low turnout shows this
@FullFact Speaking of which @FullFact - couldn't it be legitimate that Labour are using actual OECD data? Which does confirm it. I can't seem to find your OBR data, but more of it must be estimated than you say. I'm self employed, and have no idea how much tax I need to pay for 23/24 yet.
@FullFact Needs an international comparison for the stat to mean anything. The average OECD country has been able to grow it's tax burden by a massive 37% since 1965. Natural (and necessary) for burdens to grow, and UK is below average compared to similar economies. https://t.co/xoLtM4xirs
