Tax levels for working people would be as “low” as possible under Labour, Sir Keir Starmer has indicated.

The comments came in an interview with the Daily Mirror, as the Labour leader was asked if he wanted to cut taxes for those on the lowest incomes.

He said: “I want to keep the burden on working people as low as we can.”
