Starmer says a Labour government would bring back 45p tax rate

The Independent  

A Labour government would bring back the 45p tax rate for the highest earners, Sir Keir Starmer has announced. Sir Keir said he would reinstate the top income tax rate of 45 per cent, but supports the government plans to cut the basic rate to 19p. Asked if Labour would reintroduce the 45p rate, he told the BBC’s Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg programme "Yes." Earlier London mayor Andy Burnham said a future Labour government should reverse the 1p income tax cut and bring back the 45p rate, in what was widely seen as a challenge to Sir Keir.
