15.10.2024 ⇢ The day Labour's tax pledge wavered
⌨
Labour's economic strategy came under scrutiny as Keir Starmer refused to rule out raising employers' national insurance, potentially breaching a manifesto pledge. Former Bank of England governor Mervyn King urged Labour to be "ruthlessly honest" about the need for tax increases. The debate intensified as reports emerged of plans for £40 billion in tax rises and spending cuts.
In international news, the US warned Israel it could withhold arms funding if Gaza aid distribution doesn't improve within 30 days. UN peacekeepers defied warnings to withdraw from Lebanon as Israel expanded its bombing campaign.
Domestically, disturbing details emerged in the Sara Sharif murder case, with reports of abuse and a handwritten confession note. The evening saw claims that Thomas Tuchel had signed a deal to become England's new football manager.
