Education secretary Bridget Phillipson has shared the latest definition of “working people” from Labour’s manifesto.
Labour promised at the general election not to increase taxes on “working people” – but has been struggling to define who these people are ahead of its tax-raising Budget.
Ms Phillipson was pressed for a definition of “working people” when she appeared on Sky Breakfast with Trevor Phillips on Sunday (27 October).
She replied: “It is people whose main income arises from the fact they go out to work every day.”
