"Labour is pledging not to raise income tax for those earning less than £80,000 a year as part of a "personal tax guarantee" for 95% of taxpayers.
Shadow chancellor John McDonnell will vow to protect low- and middle-earners by also ruling out rises in VAT and employee national insurance rates.

The Tories, who have also ruled out a rise in VAT, say there is a £45bn black hole in Labour's tax proposals.
