The UK Labour Party, led by Rachel Reeves, plans to crack down on tax dodgers to fund NHS and school commitments. This follows scrutiny over Deputy Leader Angela Rayner's tax affairs, with claims of avoidance and electoral law breaches. Reeves pledges a £5bn crackdown on tax avoiders, tightening non-dom policies and increasing tax compliance. The Tories criticize Rayner, while Labour aims to close tax gaps and tackle evasion.
