Labour Leader Sir Keir Starmer calls the Government’s decision to axe non-dom tax “humiliating”, claiming “we’ve argued for years for them to get rid of non-dom tax status.” He continued saying, “the only decent policy they’ve got is one they’ve lifted from us.”

00:00 Well, how humiliating was that for the government yesterday?
00:03 We've argued for years that they should get rid of the non-dom tax status.
00:07 They've resisted that and now completely out of ideas.
00:11 Only decent policy they got is the one that they've lifted from us.
00:16 And I think if you needed evidence of why we should go straight to a general election,
00:20 it's that we need change.
00:22 Obviously, we will keep our commitment to the NHS, so important it is.
00:28 We'll go through all of the numbers and we'll be absolutely clear,
00:31 nothing in our manifesto will be unfunded and uncosted.
00:35 That is an iron rule for the Labour Party.
00:38 Contrast that with the government where yesterday at the end of the budget,
00:42 the Chancellor made a staggering £46bn unfunded commitment to abolish national insurance.
00:50 That's bigger than Liz Truss's commitment.
00:53 So they've learned absolutely nothing.
00:55 We need change. It's time for change.
