It's the stealth taxes that are going to be a problem with this labour government . 

I was reading yesterday that they are going to follow Sid Khans proposal of taxing driveways . This is being done on the pretence that rainwater run off into drains causes flooding .
I can think of quite a few reasons of what causes flooding and having somewhere to park your car at the front of your house is quite a way down that list . Its a clear tax on the middle classes as the bigger properties though having bigger driveways have run off areas that will save them from the tax

Labour will 'have to come clean pretty soon' on potential tax rises, claims Damian Hinds


Shadow Education Secretary, Damian Hinds, on how Keir Starmer will perform in his first PMQs later this morning.

Damian Hinds says the Government can't keep dodging questions over what they plan to do about potential tax rises.

The Shadow Education Secretary spoke to GBNews ahead of Keir Starmer's first ever appearance at Prime Minister Questions.

It comes in the wake of a rebellion by his Labour MP's overnight - which led to the party having to suspend a number of its members.

Speaking to Eamonn Holmes and Anne Diamond on GB News, Mr Hinds said: "Without doubt there are big questions about tax. The questions came up a lot in the Election, the answers did not - and that cannot be dodged forever.

"The Prime Minister, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, they all go on to say what they are going to do. There's been all this kind of talk, going on saying 'Oh, yeah, the financial situation is worse than we thought'. No. The numbers were known, the Office of Budget Responsibility published the numbers.

"They are going to have to come clean about what they are planning to do and that is a really important set of questions hanging over politics right now."
