"Don’t surrender to Starmer’s tax rises", Sunak warns in BBC general election debate

They said we oppose all those measures. So it's one thing to stand here and say all these things. You should at least be upfront with people you don't think my approach is the right one. You are going to have higher welfare under you and that's why you can't deliver tax cuts the way that I can and people should not surrender to this. Just go online, go to the Telegraph website, because we've just found a recording that they have put out there from the Deputy Chancellor, from the Labour Party, admitting that their plans will cost hundreds of billions of pounds, hundreds of billions of pounds. All of you, thousands of pounds of tax rises. That's why I say Keir Starmer and the Labour Party are not being straight with you. So do not surrender to their tax rises. Let me just explain. This is a reference to Darren Jones, the shadow chief secretary to the Treasury, one of your senior Treasury team, who in a recording given to the Taylee Daily Telegraph has said decarbonizing the British economy will cost hundreds of billions of pounds. We've set out in our manifesto what we want to do to go to renewable energy and we've set out how much that will cost, exactly how much is going to be put in. And we've got a column saying how that's going to be funny if you're a pensioner, Really. No, there is a retirement tax coming for you. Capital R, capital T if he is your Prime Minister. 20 tax cuts, he pensioners are going to be paying tax because he won't match our triple lot. Plus, if I'm your Prime Minister, that won't happen and that's what I'll deliver for you. As I say it again, do not surrender your finances to their tax rises. Got a very brief response and I want to go to the next question. Well, pensioners are not going to be better off with the Prime Minister who's making promises that he can't keep 'cause they're not funded. That's exactly what this trust got wrong.
