Tax 'fairness' comment is latest hint from government increases could be on way at next budget
Speaking to Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips, Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander was asked if Sir Keir Starmer and the rest of the cabinet had discussed hiking taxes in the wake of the government's failed welfare reforms, which were shot down by their own MPs...
Ms Alexander said she wouldn't comment directly on taxes and the budget at this point, adding: "So, the chancellor will set her budget. I'm not going to sit in a TV studio today and speculate on what the contents of that budget might be.
"When it comes to taxation, fairness is going to be our guiding principle."
Labour to spend millions on electric car handouts
Labour will unveil £700 million of taxpayer-funded subsidies to encourage the public to buy more electric vehicles (EVs).
Heidi Alexander, the Transport Secretary, will this week announce grants for drivers to help cover the cost of a new EV, as well as more cash for charging points.
To be fair, it's worth adding that two tier fairness is a key point of socialism.

Motability does wonders for the second-hand car market, I've had two, and they were great cars! They were much more expensive tough, but with loads of bells and whistles...
Seems about right - with tax-payers' money...
