Theresa May has again said she has no intention of raising taxes. The prime minister told Tory party activists in the village of Mawdesley in Chorley, Lancashire she was not going to make promises that she did not know she could keep.

Responding to comments by former prime minister Tony Blair, who said Brexit had given him direct motivation to “get his hands dirty” in politics, May said she was interested in “Conservative voices of the future, not Labour voices of the past”.
