Rishi Sunak Accused of Lying About Labour's Tax Plans in Election Debate

Rishi Sunak, the UK's Prime Minister, has been accused of lying about Labour's spending plans by Keir Starmer, the Leader of the Opposition. The controversy began when the Conservative Party published what they claimed were "formal Treasury and independent costings" of Labour policies, which Labour denied and highlighted a letter from the top official at Britain's finance ministry to support their claim. Sunak also made a specific claim that a Labour government would cost every family in Britain £2,000 in extra taxes, based on a dossier published by the party. However, Starmer has accused Sunak of lying about this claim and called for an investigation into whether he has breached the ministerial code due to his dishonesty.
