The non-dom tax status protects some of the top 1 per cent of earners in the UK (PA Wire)

I don’t believe for one minute that Sir Keir Starmer deliberately targeted Rishi Sunak’s wife over her former non-dom tax status.

What I believe Sir Keir Starmer has been and is doing is highlighting the issues with non-dom tax status. Let’s not forget that non-dom tax status protects some of the top 1 per cent of earners in the UK.

However, what the non-dom tax status does more than anything else is prevent funding for frontline public services designed to protect the most vulnerable in society.
