Sir Keir Starmer has not ruled out a National Insurance increase for employers in the Budget, in a BBC Breakfast interview.
The Labour Party’s 2024 manifesto rules out raising National Insurance, income tax and VAT.
But Sir Keir side-stepped questions whether Labour’s promise not to raise taxes for “working people” covered employers’ National Insurance (NI).
Speaking in Downing Street, Sir Keir said this month’s Budget was “going to be tough” but would “focus on rebuilding our country”.
