Keir Starmer today branded Rishi Sunak “Mr 1%” as he blasted the decision to hand tax breaks to fatcats so they can squirrel away more in their pensions.
The Labour leader also highlighted that only 1% of asylum claims have been processed, as well as just 1% of taxpayers’ money lost to Covid fraud having been recovered.
Speaking at a local elections campaign launch in Swindon, he criticised the Chancellor’s decision to scrap the top limit on tax-free pensions savings in his Budget - a move that will benefit the wealthiest in society.
