Labour is 'absolutely not' engaged in class war, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer insists
Sir Keir Starmer was asked by Sky News' political editor Beth Rigby if the changes to inheritance tax and putting VAT on private school fees show the new government is looking to wage a "class war" on wealthier people.
The prime minister said he is "absolutely not" taking part in such action.
The problem with being dishonest is that all interpretations remain open. Taking assertions at face value becomes naïve.
Another problem Starmer has is his dedication to process. The internally approved response to such an accusation is to deny it.
So - tick - he emits the approved response.

He and his govt are there under false pretences ... there must be some legal redress to force another GE.
Of course Surkier knows that his pals, the really rich, can scraper off to tax havens.
With an eye on a seat in the Other Place, he also knows that the real Upper Class, King Charles and all the aristocracy , already have their assets secured.
That leaves those not getting their income from the taxpayer.
But those particular stones do not have much blood left to be squeezed out.
As for pips, well, he can squeeze a Jaffa as much as he likes but he will not hear pips squeaking.
"Sir Keir said such measures are necessary to raise the funds for housing, schools and other public services that are needed across the UK - including in rural communities."
All those *NOT* class war warriors need to be paid for after all.
If only we could trust what Two Tier Free Gear Keir Starmer Farmer Harmer said.
Anon - voters in his constituency can trigger a recall petition and if 10% sign it he's out and a by-election happens. Seems unlikely, but who knows?
Doonhamer - Klaus Schwab is getting on a bit, maybe that's Starmer's ambition. Let's hope so because he's quite capable of screwing up WEF.
DJ - that's his problem, trust gone so what he says doesn't amount to anything and the focus is on what he does or doesn't do. It's not the right way round for an ambitious politician.
In my first job, as two or three years passed, I concluded through experience, that my head of department was dishonest in the way he treated his staff and in other things. It ended up that I didn't believe him either when he disapproved of my work or when he expressed praise for it. Either way, I considered him duplicitous. A good life lesson, I think.
Tammly - some people are like that, but they climb the career ladder, even though people get to know what they are like.
Tammly. It matters not what the underlings know. You know he is a lier, but his bosses have to "believe" his lies so that they can report good news to their boss.
I have been there. As soon as you realise this get out. You are on the R101 airship.
