That is the way the game works. Harriet was not in full control of what she said - and thus this will be exploited for maximum political gain by her opponents.
Sure, all's fair in love, war, and PMQs.
And even in context, it is hard to interpret her words as anything other than a desire to increase taxes.
The most striking thing about what she said, taken as a whole, is how patronising and feeble it is.
Whatever the actual words, she confirmed it was her policy and, as such, from the mouth of Labour by squeaking 'it's true, they should' in PMQs
