The real idiots here are those that expect a simple answer to a complex question. By demanding Starmer to try and come up with an answer that the Daily Mail readers can grasp, he will always fail. The subject is complex and nuanced so he did the best he could given his target audience.

The real problem the critics have with this is that the gravy train they have been on for year is finally being addressed. The unequal tax regime between salaried income and non-salaried income has been a blight for years with successive Governments going to the cash cow of salaried tax payers to raise revenue while the asset rich quietly watched, happy in the knowledge that their accountants had made sure they were fine.

By starting the process in equalising taxation from CGT, Dividends, etc. to that of employment earnings, Labour will make a start on addressing one of the major inequalities in the UK.
