Keir Starmer says things are 'worse than we ever imagined' in first keynote address as PM
Sir Keir Starmer has hinted at tax rises in the government’s first budget warning it is “going to be painful”.
In his first keynote speech from Downing Street, Sir Keir said he will “make big asks” of people in Britain, warning they will have to accept “short term pain for long term good”.
The prime minister said those with the “broadest shoulders” will carry the heaviest burden insisting taxes on “working people” including national insurance, VAT and income tax will not be increased in the 30 October budget.
He claimed things are “worse than we ever imagined”and suggested the riots showed “the cracks in our society after 14 years of populism and failure”.
