Keir Starmer, leader of the UK Labour Party, has been accused by Conservative MPs and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak of lacking a clear plan to finance his £28 billion annual spending promise. Critics have highlighted Labour's inconsistency, pointing out that the party had previously committed to the expenditure and then changed their mind. The Conservative Party has labeled Labour as having 'no direction, no plan, no clue', and warns that Starmer's approach could lead to higher taxes for working people. This criticism comes as the Conservatives promote their own economic plan, which they assert is effective without raising taxes.
Keir Starmer is pretending he can junk the price tag but keep the actual policy itself. He now can’t say how he’ll afford it because he doesn’t have a plan for our economy. That means higher taxes for everyone and a worse future for our children. https://t.co/W5M10ZwoFq
Keir Starmer just admitted he has no plan to pay for the £28 billion spending spree Labour have been talking about for years. The choice is clear: stick with our plan that’s working, or go back to square one with Labour, which means higher taxes for everyone and a worse future. https://t.co/1OHA0rvA2p
Keir Starmer confirms he doesn’t have a plan for Britain. His pledge has a £28bn price tag and now he's admitted there's no plan to pay for it, which means going back to square one with higher taxes for working people. That's why we need to stick with our plan that’s working.
Labour promised to commit £28 billion. And then changed their mind. This isn’t the first time they have shifted positions. Or the second. Labour don’t have a plan. https://t.co/RrxhkQLhIu
Labour doesn’t have a plan👇 Sir Keir Starmer is trying to say he’s keeping promises that cost £28bn a year…but with no way to pay for them. Where would the money come from? More tax out of working people’s pockets. Labour: no direction, no plan, no clue. https://t.co/ECceUCd9Gg
Sir @Keir_Starmer is now *trying* to ditch the price tag but NOT the policy relating to his idea to spend an extra £28 billion a year, with no plan from where to find the money which will only mean one thing, higher taxes on working people It is astonishing that @UKLabour are so… https://t.co/BlICtVDyd1
