Keir Starmer insisted next week's fiscal package would 'rebuild' services and the economy.
Keir Starmer today made clear the 'tax bomb' in the Budget will go beyond filling the claimed £22billion 'black hole' left by the Tories.But he tried to cool business fears about an expected £35billion of tax rises, insisting investors do not need to be 'worried'.
However, the burden will seemingly be borne entirely by the private sector, with Ms Reeves pumping an extra £5billion into NHS and other budgets to avoid cuts to headcount or wages. Official figures suggest it would be the most tax raised at a Budget since 1993, in the aftermath of the Black Wednesday Sterling crisis.
Sir Keir insisted people were investing in Britain 'because of what this government is bringing to the table'.
