Starmer declines to rule out 'wealth tax'
Birmingham Mail
|July 10, 2025
SIR Keir Starmer has declined to rule out a wealth tax, after Kemi Badenoch accused the Prime Minister of "flirting" with the idea.
-
The Prime Minister was also branded as "weak" by the Conservative leader, as she claimed he had been "forced into a series of chaotic U-turns" and failed to prevent doctors' strikes.
Sir Keir defended his record in Government saying he is "proud" of the NHS 10-year health plan, free school meals and the roll out of family hubs.
During the back and forth at Prime Minister's Questions, Mrs Badenoch claimed "investors are fleeing the country" as a result of a potential "tax on aspiration".
This comes after former Labour leader Lord Neil Kinnock suggested a wealth tax could "commend" the Government to the general public.
