Outgoing Tory leader Rishi Sunak blasted the party for the tax hikes, and accused Labour of “fiddling the figures”.
He said: “Time and again, we Conservatives warned Labour would tax, borrow and spend far beyond what they were telling the country.
“Time and time again they denied they had such plans, but today the truth has come out.”
