Keir Starmer claimed those with assets are not working people in his biggest hint at a tax rise in the Budget.
During a broadcast interview at a Commonwealth summit in Samoa on Thursday (24 October), Sir Keir told Sky News that he does not consider people who have an income from assets such as shares of property to be working people.
“They wouldn’t come within my definition,” he said.
Labour’s manifesto said the party would not increase taxes on working people, including VAT, national insurance, and income tax.
