This is knowingly misleading. Labour pledged to "not increase taxes on working people", saying they will "not increase National Insurance, the basic, higher, or additional rates of Income Tax, or VAT". There are currently no commitments to raise these personal taxes. https://labour.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Change-Labour-Party-Manifesto-2024-large-print.pdf
