Keir Starmer Clarifies Definition of “Working People” in Tax Policy
During his campaign for office earlier this year, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer made a promise that the Labour Party would not raise taxes on “working people.” However, there was ambiguity surrounding who exactly falls into this category. Starmer has now stated that individuals who own assets such as property or shares in companies do not align with his definition of “working people.” A spokesperson later clarified that individuals who possess small amounts of stock may still be considered working people, with Starmer specifically targeting those whose primary source of income comes from assets.
