Sir Keir Starmer has set out his position on the government's tax cuts, saying he would reinstate the top income tax rate of 45% but keep the cutting of the basic rate to 19p
"I've long made the argument that we should reduce the tax burden on working people," he said.
Speaking to Sophy Ridge on Sky News earlier this morning, Ed Miliband, the shadow secretary for climate change, all but confirmed the reversal when he said Labour would be"consistent in our election manifesto with our opposition to the 45p tax cut".
