Piers Morgan launches blistering attack on 'lying' Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves
Share and Follow

Piers Morgan has launched a fiery critique against the Labour Party’s leadership via a tweet that surfaced this afternoon. This follows his earlier criticism aimed at Chancellor Rachel Reeves after her Budget speech. On the platform X, he highlighted a tweet from the Conservative Party featuring a video of Keir Starmer and Reeves promising not to raise taxes ahead of the 2024 General Election—a promise the party ultimately broke.

The video is set to dramatic classical music and showcases Reeves during the election campaign asserting, “Labour will not be increasing taxes – I can be very clear about that.” In another segment, Starmer emphasizes, “Let me be absolutely clear, we will not raise taxes for normal working people.”

Several interview snippets of both leaders reiterating their no-tax-increase pledge are woven throughout the minute-long video.

The video concludes with Reeves addressing the Commons on Wednesday, acknowledging, “I know that maintaining these thresholds is a decision that will affect the working people.” The video wraps up with the word “resign” emblazoned across the screen.

The Conservatives captioned the clip with a pointed message: “To help them get elected, Labour told a lie. This is the story of one of the biggest deceptions in British politics.”

Morgan was quick to comment, issuing a scathing attack on the Labour Party as he penned: “You don’t have to be a Tory to be disgusted by this devastating mash-up of Labour Party leaders lying through their back teeth about tax so they could win power.”

The Budget Reeves laid out included a freeze on income tax thresholds until 2030-31, which is expected to move roughly one million people into higher tax brackets. She also detailed a new “mansion tax” and an increase in the National Living Wage for people over 21 years old.

Morgan’s followers were quick to comment on his post, with one writing: “Too right, Piers.” Another said: “They should all be held to account for the damage they have inflicted on working people and the economy.”

A third added: “Political parties should be held accountable for what they state they will and won’t do in their manifesto. After all, they are elected because of it. Politics has to change.”
