This comes alongside Rishi doing an ITV interview in which he has said:
“It’s desperate stuff. Keir Starmer and Labour are obviously very rattled that we’ve exposed their plans to raise tax on people”
In response to the Civil Service letter and Keir Starmer calling him a liar.
Essentially Sunak is saying the Civil Service are liars by refuting this and doubling down
>However, in his first interview since the debate, Rishi Sunak told ITV he was not a “liar”
Great job on controlling the narrative their Rish.
To the shock and horror of no one. A Tory PM did a lie.
Rishi Sunak is a fucking liar.
I invite him to sue me.
Sadly the truth follows days behind the lie.
The tories have embraced trumpism.
As with brexit they trot out the lie and hope by the time we’ve corrected the lie people have forgotten
That’s a quick summary of this guy:

The press really have been very aggressive on this. Much more than I expected
ITV calling the PM a liar to his face, BBCQT having the lie and ‘trust in politics’ as first question, lots of heat over this.
Surprised they haven’t let it go. They normally let Tories just lie like crazy.
sadly, recent history shows that headline grabbing lies can be an effective strategy
the big red NHS £350m p/week lie worked wonders
“A lie can run round the world before the truth has got its boots on.”
Terry Pratchett, The Truth
Everyone only needs to stop and consider for one second if they trust a billionaire leader of a party that’s fucked things more up in 14 years. People can’t trust Labour either obviously but imagine the entirety of an election coming down to low level fear of ‘they’re gonna take £2000 away from me are they’. Sunak knows taxes and wages and inflation are more complicated than that.
So even their biased costings only have taxes rising £500/year per household (not person), over a 4 year period… Still less the amount peoples monthly mortgage payments went up overnight thanks to the Conservatives.
I think they’re underestimating the amount of people that would happily pay £42 a month to get rid of them at this point.
