💨 Abstract

Keir Starmer faced criticism for stating that raising taxes would hinder economic growth, despite his government's previous increases in business taxes. This comment was seen as a dig at his deputy Angela Rayner, who has advocated for new taxes. Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride retaliated, arguing that Labour's tax increases are stifling growth and businesses. Meanwhile, Angela Rayner proposed tax hikes on savers and high earners to raise additional revenue.
