Labour's tax and spending plans have become a focal point in the run-up to the General Election. Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves, the Shadow Chancellor, have reportedly shifted their views on these issues over the past four years, with an untold story behind this change. Labour plans to feature Reeves prominently in their campaign, highlighting her journey from an economist to a key political figure. The party's proposals include a 50p top rate of income tax, a mansion tax, and cuts to pensions tax reliefs. The Tories have criticized Labour's net zero plan, claiming it would result in a £4.5bn tax shortfall. Rachel Reeves is also focusing on UK growth plans and engaging with City of London leaders. The General Election campaign has become increasingly bitter, with questions raised about what Reeves would do as Chancellor with a supermajority.
