Watchdog Rebukes Sunak's £2,000 Labour Tax Claim

The UK's statistics watchdog has criticized Prime Minister Rishi Sunak for misleading claims that Labour's tax rises would cost working households £2,000, noting the figure was a four-year total and not fully costed by Treasury officials. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer accused Sunak of lying, while both parties have pledged not to increase major taxes if elected. The Office for Statistics Regulation emphasized the need for transparent use of statistics in public debate.
