The chancellor has said the government will have to raise some taxes in October's Budget after months of speculation about Labour's stance on tax.

"I think we will have to increase taxes in the Budget," Rachel Reeves told the News Agents podcast.

She was responding to a question about raising money following her claim on Monday that the previous government left a £22bn "hole" in the public finances.

Labour said repeatedly during the election campaign there would be no tax rises on "working people", but the Conservatives have insisted Labour will increase them.
