Keir Starmer would bring back the 45p rate of income tax for some of the richest people in the UK and said the party now believed it could win the next general election.
The move by Starmer was part of package of measures from Labour signalling a stronger defence of workers’ rights and including plans to set the living wage in relation to the rising cost of living.
