Shadow chancellor John McDonnell denies Labour's tax policy is "anti-aspirational".

For 95% there will be no tax increase under a Labour government, he said.

For those earning £80,000 or more, the party would be announcing the cost in its manifesto to be released on Tuesday.

"The issue for us is how we get our economy growing as we're falling back," he tells Pienaar.

While our economy has grown, wages have remained static.

"The problem we have is lack of investment in infrastructure... and lack of fair rewards for employees."

Shadow chancellor John McDonnell refuses to say that Labour are facing the prospect of a landslide Tory victory, and points out that they have gained points in the polls, now standing at 32.

He says the sudden calling of the election meant Labour started on the back foot, but they are now benefiting from the election campaign broadcast rules that mean "we get balanced cover".

"The more we put our policies out there the more we get increases in the polls," he says.

According to the Guardian's political editor there's a big difference between the titan political shows.
