In an exclusive interview with the Mirror as MPs return to Westminster, the Labour leader pledged that working people will not be hit by tax rises if he becomes Prime Minister
Keir Starmer has vowed that working people will not be hit by higher taxes if he becomes PM.
In an interview with the Mirror, the Labour leader pledged not to hike levies – including income tax.
Making the landmark promise, he said: “We will do nothing to increase the burden on working people, whether it comes to tax or anything else. They have paid a heavy price for the incompetence of the government after the last 13 years.”
As MPs return to Westminster with ministers facing questions over the crumbling schools scandal, Mr Starmer warned Rishi Sunak’s government is crippled by “complete inertia”. The Labour leader accused the Tories of being “simply unable to move forward”.
