Claim: A Labour government would mean a £2,000 tax rise for every working family.
Fact-check: Would families face a £2,000 tax rise under Labour? - Full Fact
Verdict: this figure is unreliable and based on a number of assumptions. it comes from a conservative estimate of labour's "unfunded spending commitments", but labour has said this is "flawed" and many of the costings behind the calculation are uncertain. even if the figure was right, we can't be certain this money would be collected by raising taxes, and if it was, families are unlikely to be affected equally.
