What Labour Said Before The Election.

Keir Starmer gave his strongest hint yet of tax rises to come in October’s budget, warning he will have to make “painful” decisions after finding what Labour says is a £22bn black hole in the public finances left by the Tories.
Starmer warned that the government’s forthcoming Budget will be “painful” as he asked the country to “accept short-term pain for long-term good”.
Starmer said those with the “broadest shoulders” will carry the heaviest burden. He stressed that taxes on “working people” - namely national insurance, VAT and income tax - will not be increased in the 30 October budget, but stressed that “things will get worse before they get better”.
Starmer said removing winter fuel payments for millions of pensioners in England and Wales was difficult. There will be more “difficult” decisions to come, he said.
