Keir Starmer claims Rishi Sunak breached ministerial code by lying about Labour tax plans
Sir Keir Starmer has branded Rishi Sunak a liar and claimed he had broken the ministerial code for suggesting Labour planned to hike taxes by more than £2,000.
The Labour leader said the Prime Minister’s actions had given an “insight into his character”.
The comments came after it emerged senior officials had told ministers not to say civil servants were behind Tory claims that Sir Keir was planning tax hikes if elected.
The Prime Minister repeatedly highlighted the allegation during his ITV head-to-head debate with Sir Keir, claiming “independent Treasury officials” have costed Labour’s policies “and they amount to a £2,000 tax rise for everyone”.
