Original Note:
This £2000 figure has now been widely discredited: https://fullfact.org/economy/conservative-claim-general-election-labour-2000-tax-increase/ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c6ppnw1k6nyo https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/is-labour-really-plotting-a-2000-tax-grab/ It has been compared to the ficticious €350m a week for the NHS figure used in the Brexit campaign, as a useful deception. https://x.com/campbellclaret/status/1802940817998331927?s=61&t=rsV0QI95c6P9DVHum5Xvwg
