He took two days to decide this after it was exposed. Integrity really takes 48 hours.........I bet he's fuming that this has come out. Will only change IF he gets in power... laughable........He must be getting giddy with all these U-Turns.
Starmer vows to give up his bespoke pension tax deal amid hypocrisy row over CPS agreement that would have exempted him from Labour plans to bring back penalties for the well-off
Starmer vowed to pay more tax on his own pension today after being accused of hypocrisy over a bespoke deal he did when head of the Crown Prosecution Service.
The Labour leader today revealed he would apply Labour's pensions policy to his own pot if it wins power, saying he would be 'in the same position as everyone else in this country'.
Labour has criticised Chancellor Jeremy Hunt's Budget plan to abolish the Β£1.07million tax-free limit on pensions savings, a move designed to prevent skilled NHS medics from retiring early.
Starmer branded it a 'huge giveaway to some of the very wealthiest' because it is not limited to medical staff or other key sectors.
The Labour leader today revealed he would apply Labour's pensions policy to his own pot if
it wins power, saying he would be 'in the same position as everyone else in this country'.
But The Telegraph claimed that Sir Keir is himself exempt from tax rules he would apply to other workers who save more than Β£1 million, under a special arrangement with the Government from his time as Director of Public Prosecutions for England and Wales between 2008 and 2013.
But speaking in Stoke today, he said: 'I am absolutely committed to changing what the government did last week, which was to give a tax cut to the wealthiest one per cent.
'Let me go further than that. I don't intend that to exclude me.

You do realise it was Cameron and Osborne that arranged this and that Starmer has not taken advantage of it. π

There is a danger that their carefully controlled brains might explode.

He didnβt say that he was giving up his state pension because he didnβt need it.

I wonder if Starmer intended to do anything about his pension deal if the Government hadn't introduced the changes in the Budget?. Or would he have just kept quiet and pocketed the cash?
