Sir Keir Starmer failed to rule out a host of tax rises last night, as he squirmed over his past support for Jeremy Corbyn.
In front of an invited audience in Grimsby Town Hall, Sir Keir refused to rule out increases on council tax, fuel duty and capital gains, instead only promising that he would not raise income tax, National Insurance or VAT. The latest YouGov survey found Labour were supported by 38 per cent of voters ahead of the general election on 4 July, with the Conservatives backed by 18 per cent
He was pressed on his planned tax raid on private schools by a member of the audience who said he would be priced out of sending his daughter to one. 'I equally accept that every parent – every parent – has aspiration for their children whether they go to private school or not.' The Conservative website previously featured a big photo of Mr Sunak with a button asking voters to 'join Rishi'Last week's ITV debate between Mr Sunak and the Labour leader saw the political rivals clash over tax in fiery head-to-head exchanges
