Why Starmer won't rule out a wealth tax


Listen Later

At today's PMQs, Labour leader Keir Starmer refused to rule out a new wealth tax.


Leader of the Opposition Kemi Badenoch demanded a cast-iron guarantee that there won’t be an autumn Budget raid on wealth, but the Prime Minister couldn’t give one, fuelling Tory claims that a “toxic cocktail” of Labour tax rises could be on the way.


Tim Stanley and Gordon Rayner are joined by Daily Telegraph Economics Reporter Emma Taggart to discuss what a potential 2% wealth tax on assets over £10 million, suggested by Labour grandee Lord Kinnock, could mean for savers, homeowners, and the British economy.


And if you visit Heathrow this summer, Grammy-nominated artist Jordan Rakei has turned the airport’s everyday noises into a four-minute ambient soundscape designed to soothe travellers. But will it calm the nerves of our resident anxious flyer Tim Stanley?
