Sunak defends ‘progressive’ approach to taxation 

During treasury questions, Labour’s Rachel Reeves blasted chancellor Rishi Sunak for the UK being the only G7 country increasing taxes on working people.

Reeves called for the chancellor to ask those “with the broadest shoulders” to pay more tax.

Sunak told the House of Commons that this is “exactly what the government are doing” in “an entirely progressive to raise money”.
