The UK tax burden is set to reach its highest level for 75 years, and we are now facing the largest reduction in real living standards since records began.
It's little wonder when Ipswich's Conservative MP, Tom Hunt, voted for a staggering 25 tax rises in just four years.

Suffolk can be the beating heart of our country’s net zero future with Labour.
Under the Tories, the UK is being left behind in the global race for skilled jobs.
Labour’s Green Prosperity Plan will create quality jobs, grow the economy, cut the cost of living, and make Britain a clean energy superpower.

These cuts will lead to larger class sizes, reduced subject choice and less individual support for children.
For teachers it means more real-terms pay cuts, more unmanageable workloads and less time to teach each child.

The Conservatives think helping families with the cost of living crisis is silly. But Labour is on your side, and Labour has a plan - fully funded by a tax on the bumper profits of oil and gas companies. That’s why it so important to vote Labour on Thursday May 5th.
