Sir Keir Starmer to prepare the ground for tax rises with warning it will take TEN YEARS to rebuild Britain - after he is accused of being elected to office on 'false promises' that they would not inc

Daily Mail  

Sir Keir Starmer will warn tomorrow that it will take a decade to rebuild Britain, as he is accused of preparing the ground for Rachel Reeves to unveil major tax rises in the Budget. Sir Keir will use his first major speech since winning power to warn that things in Britain 'will get worse before they get better'. Tory chairman Richard Fuller said Keir Starmer is trying to mislead the public by fabricating a financial blackhole 'Things are only going to get worse under Labour as they increase your taxes, bring us back into the EU's orbit and hand people smugglers a blank cheque to increase illegal migration.' The Conservatives have rejected Sir Keir's characterisation of their time in office, saying Labour is 'squandering money' while 'fabricating a financial black hole in an attempt to com the public into accepting tax rises'.
