it says the prime minister has signalled a rise in national insurance and income tax, after pledging not to raise vat. so, let's begin! theresa may might have a different view to the eu 27. they are saying that she is on a different page to the rest of the eu. there has been a hardening in the breadth of negotiations last week or so. the eu, shockingly for a union with accord leadership, is swinging together as a union with accord leadership against britain. to be is a major selection has resulted to sign by saying, no, you need to elect me if you want to avoid a disaster, swing behind me, don't listen to what they are saying in brussels. how much of this is posturing on both sides? everybody is posturing because nobody has started talking. despite all the arguments since june last year, brexit has not begun, negotiations have begun. article 50 has been triggered but that is not the northern paperwork. there is nothing else you can too bad posture. theresa may has a lack of ability to think on her feet when she is asked a question. when somebody says she is out in space when dealing

but no matching promise on national insurance or income tax, the other big revenue raisers. i know i'm going to get told off for overlong answers so this won't be an overlong answer. labour has also promised not to raise vat and is making a lot of spending promises, which it says will be costed in their manifesto. we're the party that wants low taxes for low and medium earners. the conservative party are the party that wants low taxes for the higher earners. we look at things the other way round. so, yes, there will be changes but they will be very much at the top end. over the next couple of weeks we will get the party manifestos, when rhetoric over tax and spending may crystallise into policy. but of all the uncertainties facing britain over the next few years, the biggest is brexit. and there seems to be a divide between theresa may and the rest of the eu over how the negotiations should happen. yesterday, eu leaders dismissed the idea of a quick trade deal and said there had to be progress on the terms of the divorce first, including the money britain owes. but theresa m

she has been pressed on whether she would keep this commitment not to raise national insurance or vat today. we have heard that vat won't go up today. philip hammond in his budget tried to raise national insurance contributions for some self—employed people and that was quickly ditched when it became apparent that it was against the previous manifesto commitment. the chancellor said has said he would like more flexibility to manage the economy. we get a sense that this commitment in the previous tory manifesto could be dropped. at the labour response. labour not defining at what point it would consider raising taxes for wage earners. what is that crossing the line between middle income and higher income people? they are sticking to the terminology of low and middle income. they are saying that they feel people who have the broadest shoulders should bury the biggest burden. we do not know the levels, we haven't heard figures. they are saying this will come out in the manifesto when it is published later this month. ten years after the disappearance of madeleine mccann, her parents ha

philip hammond's u—turn very quickly when he intended to raise national insurance contributions for the self—employed. that was ditched. some differences between theresa may and philip hammond on tax policy. we will have to see where we end up when the manifestos, out in the coming weeks. thank you. more than 50,000 troops are being deployed across france in preparation for voting in the country's presidential election after the killing of a police officer in paris. all correspondent is in paris at the moment. it looks like life returning to some normality, but security will no doubt play a big role over the coming days. security is very tight. it has been ramped up. there are police walking around in this bustling market. but this is a scene of peruvian normality this morning. a very normality this morning. a very normal saturday morning. this is the market, just a stone's throw from notre dame cathedral. today is a day of political silence. campaigning ended at midnight. there are no bombardments from politicians. so the french have a chance to breathe after months of relentless pol

insurance contributions. labour has also promised not to raise vat, with leaderjeremy corbyn saying any other tax rises will fall on what he calls the "top end" and not on low and middle earners. our political correspondent leila nathoo reports. in the swing of an election campaign, there is, for some, an unmentionable word. of whether her government would increase taxes, but this morning she gave the strongest indication yet that she will drop a previous tory commitment not to raise national insurance, income tax or vat. we have no plans to increase the level of tax, but i am also very clear i don't want to make specific proposals on taxes unless i am absolutely sure that i can deliver on those. it would be my intention as a conservative government and a conservative prime minister, to reduce the taxes on working families. later, she went further in clarifying her plans. we won't be increasing vat, but what i want to ensure is we are able to have the strong... so you definitely won't raise vat, that is a 100

it is around £5 million of fraud relating to tax and national insurance. but in a statement today hmrc were clear about their intentions saying that the raids send a clear message that whoever you are you can expect to face the consequences if you commit tax fraud. surrey police have been strongly criticised for returning a collection of shotguns to a man who went on to kill his partner and her daughter. 82—year—old john lowe shot christine and lucy lee at his puppy farm in farnham in 2014. a report by the independent police complaints commission here's duncan kennedy. the white—haired figure ofjohn lowe moments after he shot dead christine and lucy lee at his puppy farm in surrey. christine who was a partner at her daughter lucy were killed with a shotgun. this shotgun. that had been returned tojohn lowe by surrey police. john lowe, seen here at the police station, was jailed for life. today be independent police complaints commission said that surrey police had made a series of errors in handing the gun back to him. but there were lessons for all p

they promised no tax increases, no national insurance increases at all during the lifetime of the parliament. that cannot happen when you have a social care crisis. the nhs is falling apart, education in england and scotland as well. the other thing which is interesting, those of us long enough in the tooth to remember the bombshell imagery used by the conservatives in an election some years ago saying that labour were about to drop it. they are turning that on its head. they are turning that on its head. they are waiting to find out whether labour can trumpet. in the last election they tried to say they would follow the tory tax spending plan and the issue here is whether labour will come out tomorrow and say they are. they have already broken that orthodoxy. john mcdonnell, the shadow chancellor, has said, if you are rich, we are coming to get you. by richie means 70,000. 70,000 does not seem rich to me. if you are earning 20... most people earn between 20 and 30,000. if you earn 70,000, you are rich. people earn between 20 and 30,000. if you earn 70,000, you are richm says pay and this ma

theresa may ruling out an increase in vat, as labour have as well, but national insurance contributions and income tax might be within her sites. carefully not saying anything else and it seems to be what they're saying is the overall tax take won't increase, the tories may fiddle with a few things within that, interestingly some of the things theresa may was talking about, weakening the triple lock in pensions, making it a double lock, someone pensions, making it a double lock, someone figure that out for me, and reinvesting the money into long—term social care, which will help some of the social care problems we've got. there's a suggestion they are considering taxes on highly expensive homes, the mansion tax, ed miliband's idea, massively derided, and not liked at all, now it will possibly be in the conservative ma nifesto. possibly be in the conservative manifesto. a lot of these things are almost labour policies. i'm not quite sure that labour would feel quite sure that labour would feel quite that way but you talk to ed miliband and the team around him at the moment and they fee

this takes the first £2000 or £3000 until now off the national insurance bill for a small employer. that helps, because you saw more people employed and you saw an increase in pgy- employed and you saw an increase in pay. we would like to see that increased to £11000. this year, the average small business employer will pay £2600 to cover the national living wage, national insurance contributions and pensions auto enrolment. so if the government were to help us afford that with all these costs coming on the small business, that would be a big help. what kind of encouragement do you get from the government that that is going to happen? well, we had a difficult budget with other topics like business rates. but we now have a zero budget, so there is hope that we will have a second bite of the cherry. fingers crossed we might get some progress. a few more months to keep lobbying. thank you. let's get more now on our top story. tensions are rising over gibraltar after the european union gave spain a potential veto on any future deal for the british territory during the brexit negotiatio

also a few from downing street informed of what they intended to do the national insurance interests underlined some people paying a bit more. he was preaching a conservative manifesto commit and as would cause problems in downing street very swiftly. >> if i was a wealthy investor, should i be buying shares in philip hammond? >> in the short-term, again have to use the b. word, brexit. it does not want to create an impression of instability. just a very crucial negotiation after the european union. to lose the chancellor would be unfortunate to say the least. i think with anyone else it therefore chose to hold onto people in key positions even with the mistake. i think he will stay in place during the data process and in the longer term at the next general election, perhaps you might be thinking of another potential author by then. >> they turned to ashes. another burning issue in the u.k. with the political impasse with unexpected speed the northern ireland assembly in belfast came to a full stop. part of the reason was a green energy scheme. if it got millions of pounds of public

, doubling of national insurance, doubling of national insurance, doubling of vat and doubling of council tax. that is the choice people have at the election. about the part of your question which is about the areas of the country we go into. as i said in my remarks, this is an election in which every single vote counts. because every single vote counts. because every single vote for me and the conservative candidates will be a vote that strengthens our hand in the negotiations for a brexit. when i am sitting around the table getting the best deal for the united kingdom. sitting around the table getting the best dealforthe united kingdom. i will be out and about around the country in all sorts of areas, all parts of the country, taking this message, a vote for me and a local conservative candidate is a vote to strengthen our hand in the brexit negotiations. you say that give me a mandate and you are obviously appealing for one for yourself, but aren't you using dot—mac we have a slight technical problem there with our line to the eventin problem there with our line to the event in south

philip hammond must remember he tried to raise national insurance rates, didn't he? that have to be turned around very quickly. it's about who takes austerities? is it the people who are there and can withstand the attack, as it were, on the public purse? 0n the other end you have the nhs crumbling, the idea of social care being in complete meltdown. we do not change in the next five years will be in serious trouble. then we have the immigration issue. you both mentioned nhs and social care. social care is getting a boost of more money. the nhs has had more money and overall spending has increased. the number of people using it has also gone up. it is not going to be about white van man, it is about where is my gran. which hospital will they be in and are they safe? we do not look at certain demographics. they will affect the elderly and the young who leave university and cannot afford homes because they have too much student debt. all we can say for certain is after the election we will all be paying more tax. whoever is in government will need to raise funds. by go
