Keir Starmer accuses Rishi Sunak of being ‘too weak’ to stand up to non-doms

Labour leader also claims the government is ‘playing games’ with people’s health ahead of nurses’ strike

Sir Keir Starmer has accused Rishi Sunak of being "too weak to stand up to tax avoiders" as he claimed the prime minister was choosing non-doms over nurses on the eve of an historic strike.

Labour has said it would scrap the controversial ‘non-dom’ tax status and plough the money raised into the NHS.

The influential Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) says its “best estimate” is that abolishing the measure would be worth around £3 billion a year.
