We are going to keep our manifesto pledges' says Starmer amid tax rise reports
Briefly

"The Prime Minister has said that the Government is going to keep our manifesto pledges, amid speculation that a raft of tax rises could be coming in this month's Budget."
"Sir Keir Starmer told reporters in Berlin that he was not going to pre-empt the individual measures that will come in Rachel Reeves' fiscal statement, but said they would keep to the promises made during the election."
"Reports have suggested that numerous tax rises are being considered for fiscal events at the end of this month, including changes to inheritance tax, fuel duty, stamp duty, and a levy on e-cigarettes."
"Labour's general election manifesto from earlier this year said that the party will not increase taxes on working people and promised to not raise national insurance, income tax and VAT."
