Darren Jones questions how Tory policies will be funded

The transcript discusses the Conservative Party's £70 billion of unfunded spending commitments in the election campaign, questioning how these will be funded. It highlights the example of abolishing National Insurance contributions, costing £46 billion annually, without a clear funding plan. In contrast, the Labour Party claims all its policies are fully funded through specific tax changes. Labour also anticipates inheriting a challenging fiscal situation if they win the election, but plans to invest in public services and stabilize the economy. They aim to encourage business investment with stable tax commitments and revised business rates.
