Labour is 'absolutely not' engaged in a class war, the prime minister has said.
Labour is 'absolutely not' engaged in a class war, the prime minister has said. Sir Keir Starmer was asked by Sky News' political editor Beth Rigby if the changes to inheritance tax and putting VAT on private school fees shows the new government is looking to wage a 'class war' on wealthier people. The prime minister said he is 'absolutely not' taking part in such action.
And he said VAT on private schools will help pay for teachers and resources in state education. Rather than a class war, Sir Keir said his government is taking a 'balanced approach' to 'fill a black hole' in the public finances. He also reiterated inheritance tax on farms is still only 20% and payable over ten years.
