Sir Keir Starmer has promised a Labour government would not raise income tax. 

The Labour leader said he would avoid tax hikes “across the board”, having previously ruled out imposing a wealth tax on the richest in society.

Pushed on whether he would increase income tax, Sir Keir told the Daily Mirror: “No. We will do nothing to increase the burden on working people, whether it comes to tax or anything else.”

The comments came as Westminster braces for Sir Keir to carry out a shadow cabinet reshuffle which is widely expected to take place today.
