I find it a fascinating debate, Labour have scored a goal with it to a degree, but it was messy.
The most bizarre aspect to it all is that Sunak felt the need to insist that the figure came from independent treasury civil servants, for me that wasn't needed, he could have just kept say £2k, £2k and it would have had the same effect and would just be normal politician BS.
Referencing the independent treasury civil servants is what's made it a clear and obvious lie. I know it's been said a million time but Sunak and his team are just so shit at politics.

I had a look at the daily mail website at lunchtime and no mention of the 2k made up tax hit, there was a front page story about how Sunak gave it to Starmer over tax etc. There wasn’t even a politics tab/section to be seen, Markle and Harry get their own section FFS!?
Though after being a bit miffed on the night of the showdown about KS not refuting the numbers I read something earlier that he actually did the lawyer thing really well by letting RS prod him with the 2k stick repeatedly so he could be shot down in flames the following day (though not in the Mail), maybe he is smarter than we are led to believe.
As pointed out by @HousecatHST further up thread.
