We were promised there would be no rise in taxes for 'working people' Now we learn Chancellor Rachel Reeves is likely to whack up fuel duty by 5billion .

It looks suspiciously like a tax on working people (just ask white van man) We will be landed, in cash terms, with the biggest tax raid in history to be piled mercilessly on top of what is already the highest tax burden for 70 years .

Keir Starmer's government will be a traditional borrow, tax and spend Labour government.

New taxes will be piled on existing record taxation.

Public spending is close to record highs, at 45 per cent of our GDP.

But we're going to spend yet more, and we will borrow yet more.
