From the U.K. Daily Mail,
Keir Starmer wriggled today as he was accused of ‘misleading’ the public over Labour’s tax plans.
The PM was repeatedly challenged over whether he deserved the ‘trust’ of the British people in a bruising interview after the Budget.
In bad-tempered clashes with Sky News’ Beth Rigby, Sir Keir struggled to justify the latest huge tax raid.
Commentator Richard Fernandez noted on Twitter (X),
Like Lucy in Charlie Brown, it’s truly not Labour’s fault when voters believe they will get welfare for nothing. That football will be pulled away again and again. If you’re not smart enough to know you’re dumb then you deserve what you get.
Fool me once. The Daily Mail reports,
The tax burden is due to reach a new peak as a proportion of GDP in records that go back more than 300 years.
But it’s a revenue problem.
