Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer has assured voters there will be no surprises on tax in the upcoming Labour manifesto. This declaration came during a leaders’ event hosted by Sky News on Wednesday, where Starmer and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak faced questions from political editor Beth Rigby and the public.

Pressed on whether Labour would consider raising fuel duty or capital gains tax to bolster public finances, Starmer stood firm, reiterating his position against tax hikes. “I am not wanting to raise tax. I think people are taxed too much already. What I want to do, my central mission is to grow the economy,” he told Rigby.
