Labour leader Keir Starmer publishes tax details

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has revealed how much UK tax he has paid in the last two years, a day after Prime Minister Rishi Sunak published details of his finances.

Sir Keir's records show he has paid £118,580 in tax on his income and capital gains since 2020.

Mr Sunak became the first prime minister since David Cameron to release information about his tax affairs.

The records show he paid more than £1m in UK tax between 2019 and 2022.

Sir Keir said in January this year he would disclose how much he earns and the tax he pays.

At the time, he said senior politicians - including the prime minister and the chancellor - should publish their tax returns "as a matter of course" to ensure there is "trust in politics".
