Keir Starmer 's manifesto launch was disrupted by a climate protester today - as he tried to quell fears of a Labour tax raid.
The Tories immediately branded it a 'tax trap' saying Labour's own plans implied the burden rising to 37.4 per cent of GDP - the highest in history. Sir Keir sought to make a virtue of his boring image, as he swiped at Nigel Farage's brand of politics. 'If you want politics as pantomime, I hear Clacton is nice this time of year.'
In contrast to the Tory offering on Tuesday - which had no photos at all - it features 34 images of the leader. The increases it is openly committed to are charging VAT on private school fees, abolishing the non-dom tax status and closing 'loopholes' in the windfall tax on oil and gas firms. On foreign policy, Labour has said it will back Ukraine against Russia and support recognising a Palestinian state as part of a Middle East peace process.
