TL;DR

The UK Treasury contradicted Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's claim that Labour's policies would raise taxes by £2,000 per working family, stating that civil servants were not involved in producing the figure. This dispute emerged during a televised debate ahead of the July election, potentially undermining Sunak's integrity pledge. Labour dismissed the tax claim as "nonsense" and accused Sunak of lying about their tax plans.
