Jeremy Corbyn has accused the Conservatives of

:00:22.:00:24.

being in "complete chaos" over their tax policy.

:00:25.:00:28.

It comes after Theresa May avoided repeating comments made by a senior

:00:29.:00:33.

colleague, who told a newspaper there would be no income tax rises

:00:34.:00:39.

With more, our political correspondent, Iain Watson.

:00:40.:00:49.

Senior Conservatives, including the Defence Secretary and Foreign

:00:50.:00:53.

Secretary, have been sending out a strong message to their core voters.

:00:54.:00:57.

If you are worried that income tax might rise if we are elected, don't

:00:58.:01:02.

be full to bid is not our intention. The Conservative manifesto is

:01:03.:01:07.

nowhere near as explicit. Is it being rewritten? Our position on tax

:01:08.:01:13.

has not changed. We have set it out in the manifesto. What people will

:01:14.:01:18.

know when they've vote on Thursday, it is the Conservative Party who

:01:19.:01:23.

always has and is a low tax party. It is our intention to reduce taxes

:01:24.:01:29.

for ordinary working families. What does the Conservative manifesto say

:01:30.:01:33.

on tax question at the last election David Cameron promise not to

:01:34.:01:38.

increase income tax, national insurance or VAT. The 2017

:01:39.:01:43.

manifesto, only the Pledge on VAT remains. Promising to raise the

:01:44.:01:48.

level at which people pay the standard and higher amount of tax

:01:49.:01:55.

would also amount to a reduction. Theresa May could have tough Brexit

:01:56.:02:01.

talks ahead. There is no pledge not to increase income tax was that she

:02:02.:02:05.

and her colleagues are talking about tax today because they want to

:02:06.:02:09.

refocus attention in this campaign about what would happen if a Labour

:02:10.:02:14.

Chancellor moves into number 11 Downing Street. How are you doing?

:02:15.:02:21.

All right? I am now I have met you. Labour says the policy of making the

:02:22.:02:26.

better off and big businesses pay more is popular and the

:02:27.:02:29.

Conservatives lack clarity. There is chaos going on at the top of the

:02:30.:02:37.

Government full. What Labour is offering is no tax rises or

:02:38.:02:41.

insurance rises or VAT rises. An increase in corporation tax and some

:02:42.:02:44.

other tax increases at the top end to pay for social care. Theresa May

:02:45.:02:49.

could be finding it is more convivial to talk about tax and

:02:50.:02:55.

social careful that she and her colleagues are trying to stir the

:02:56.:03:00.

enthusiasm of traditional voters by saying instincts on taxation are the

:03:01.:03:01.

same. I can see why Jeremy Corbyn has said

:03:02.:03:14.

it is chaos. Michael Fallon was asked about the Conservative plans

:03:15.:03:17.

on income tax. He was indicating that people did not have to worry

:03:18.:03:23.

about tax rises. Boris Johnson said no plans to increase income tax. The

:03:24.:03:28.

Conservative manifesto is not that explicit. Opposition politicians are

:03:29.:03:35.

attacking it. What is happening is something slightly different. The

:03:36.:03:40.

voices are slightly discordant. The Conservative Party is trying to move

:03:41.:03:45.

the agenda back onto tax and safer territory in the last few days of

:03:46.:03:49.

the campaign for that it looks as if Theresa May had political credit to

:03:50.:03:53.

burn. Those polls are beginning too narrow for that now she has to give

:03:54.:03:58.

a clear signal to some conservative supporters, not to stay at home.

:03:59.:04:01.

just as nervous as Lily. She said, I think I might need

:04:48.:04:53.

to go to the toilet. And then, yeah, she just came
