Jonathan Ashworth comments on Rishi Sunak showing his entire general election strategy is to lie through his teeth

Last night Rishi Sunak revealed his true character, and showed that his entire General Election strategy is to lie through his teeth. 

Jonathan Ashworth, Labour's Shadow Paymaster General, said:

"Labour has no plans to raise income tax, VAT or National Insurance.

"Every pledge we make in our manifesto will be fully costed and fully funded.

"It's the Tories who have raised taxes on working people and would do so again if they get another five years in power. 

"That is the only way they can pay for their chaotic scattergun of desperate, unfunded announcements.'

"But what has also become clear today is that Rishi Sunak's General Election strategy is to lie through his teeth. 

"Last night he lied about small boats, he lied about NHS waiting lists, he lied about the cost of living.

"Just like he lied to the British people about his knowledge of the Downing Street parties.

"This has now become about Sunak's character and the clear evidence not just that he is hopeless at his job, but a desperate liar."
