The Prime Minister was quizzed on Labour's manifesto claims.
Sir Keir Starmer has denied misleading the public at the general election over plans for taxation in the Budget after he suggested that people who make money from shares and property could face greater levies.
But asked to define the term during a broadcast interview in Samoa, Sir Keir said it was someone who "goes out and earns their living, usually paid in a sort of monthly cheque" and who cannot "write a cheque to get out of difficulties". "We have to deal with that. In the past leaders have walked past those problems, created fictions, and I'm not prepared to do that." He was also asked whether he had misled the public in the Labour manifesto.

That paves the way for potential tax rises and he explained: "They wouldn't come within my definition". In a partial climbdown on Sir Keir's position, Downing Street issued a clarification on Friday.
