Rishi Sunak’s claim that Labour would implement a £2,000 tax rise and that this figure was by "independent Treasury officials" was refuted by chief secretary to the Treasury Darren Jones, who said the claims “should not be presented as having been produced by the Civil Service” [Link] NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(59-2-3) Author

NNN - The estimated figures come from special advisers and are based on calculations by civil servants and Institute for Fiscal Studies. Each proposed tax is subject to public scrutiny and debate. Political comments do not go in the CNs. Debate in the replies. [Link][Link][Link][Link][Link][Link] NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(1-0-7) Author

The post does not claim the figures come from HM Treasury. It is not necessary to state that Labour refutes the figures, as the post is clearly in the context of political debate and disagreement and so people can reasonably be expected to perceive the claim as contentious.

NNN - The proposed note asserts that the tax increases attributed to Labour Party have been announced by HM Treasury. However, this assertion is not made in the post.

The post is a biased opinion. "Costing by government officials Almost every costing contained here has been conducted by HM Treasury. " The word "almost" allows the author to have included significant figures not costed by the treasury. Ref. Conservative political paper [Link] NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(0-0-0) Author

Sunak's claim that Labour will raise taxes by £2000 is misleading. Labour pledges no hikes in income tax, NI, or VAT. The £2000 figure is based on dubious assumptions and "pretend policies." Treasury officials confirm these costings aren't from the Civil Service. [Link] NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(4-0-0) Author
