Sir Keir Starmer will say thugs that attacked police and set fire to vehicles believed they would get away with it because “the system was broken”, after 14 years of Tory rule.
In a Downing Street speech in anticipation of the return of MPs to Parliament next week, Sir Keir will also pave the way for tax rises in October’s Budget, at which Chancellor Rachel Reeves could up capital gains tax or close inheritance tax loopholes.
He will highlight the “£22 billion black hole” Labour claims to have uncovered in the public finances – and warn: “If we don’t take tough action across the board, we won’t be able to fix the foundations of the country like we need.”
Tories last night claimed Sir Keir was trying to “con” the public by shifting the blame for Labour tax rises.
Conservative Party chairman Richard Fuller said: “Just two months in and Keir Starmer has taken winter fuel payments off 10 million pensioners.”
