    No he did not.

    He said that in his definition of working taxes. No, that person is not a worker.

    And the Tory party agrees. That is why they call it capital gains tax rather than income.

    This whole argument has been stirred by the right wing press since the election. Tories have constantly tried to claim the manifesto promise of no rise in working taxes means no tax rises at all.

    It is an out right lie. And Starmer et al make it worse by refusing to address it.

    Nothing the Tory party says or believes on taxation matches these claims. It is just a desperate attempt to sow division.
