Daily Express – Red Revolution! Big government and higher spending
The Daily Express says the Tories have warned middle Britain should brace itself for tax increases after Sir Keir Starmer’s policy announcement on Wednesday. In a King’s Speech setting out Labour’s top priorities, a record 40 bills that will introduce major planning reforms, nationalise rail and impose new French-style workers’ rights on employers were outlined. Elsewhere, Strictly Come Dancing has become a “scared cow…inflated beyond its worth”, former contestant Dame Esther Rantzen says.
