The claim
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is planning a £46 billion “unfunded” tax cut, comparable with the £45 billion of “unfunded” tax cuts which Liz Truss’s government announced
Original publisher’s rating
Evaluation: Missing context. Rishi Sunak’s Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has indicated that the Conservative Party wants to abolish the part of national insurance that workers pay, but has been clear that it is a long-term ambition. Mr Sunak and Mr Hunt have not made a firm policy pledge, nor have they identified how it would be paid for. Labour has yet to receive an answer after asking the Government several times to explain how it might fund an abolition of national insurance payments for workers.
