Keir Starmer will savage the Tories’ “tax hike hypocrisy” and vow to end charitable status for private schools in a major speech in Gateshead on Monday.
The Labour leader will underline how all would-be Conservative leaders vying to replace Boris Johnson as Prime Minister “backed every one of his 15 tax rises”.
He will say: “They nodded along and trooped through voting lobbies to support them. Now, it turns out they were opposed to them all along. The hypocrisy is nauseating.”
