Labour's manifesto: The tax hike Keir Starmer hopes people won't talk about

Labour has unveiled plans to hike taxes by £8.6 billion through raids on private schools, overseas property investors and non-doms.

The party’s manifesto says that its planned tax rises will raise a combined £8.6 billion by 2028-29, with the money used to pay for more NHS appointments and teachers.

Despite Sir Keir Starmer repeatedly insisting all his policies would be fully costed, the manifesto only provides a breakdown of costs for the final year of a Labour government.
