Labour Manifesto Emphasizes Uncertainty in Tax Policies

The Labour Manifesto highlights a lack of clarity regarding tax policies, despite the overarching theme of change. While the manifesto mentions no immediate changes to major taxes like income tax, national insurance, and VAT, it keeps options open for future alterations. This ambiguity, especially regarding taxes not explicitly addressed in the manifesto, reflects a strategic move by Labour to maintain flexibility in the face of their current lead in the polls, even though it risks voter frustration for lacking specificity.
