He declined to comment on Mr. Sunak's contents claiming it should be left for others to analyze. According to Mr. Sunak the public is not particularly interested in his tax returns, which he said he shared in the interests of transparency as I said I would and I'm delighted to have done that. The Labour leader's tax return was made public when it emerged that he had a unique tax-unregistered pension plan that exempted his payments while serving as Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) from 2008 to 2013. Steve Reed the shadow justice secretary refuted claims that Mr. Starmer was a hypocrite. Keir Starmer did not determine his pension while serving as director of public prosecutions. He stated that if people have issues with it they need to speak to David Cameron and George Osborne since the Conservative government set that at the time.

The elimination of the lifetime allowance on pension contributions which will allow people to contribute as much as they can to their private scheme without being taxed was a major component of Jeremy Hunt's budget presented last week. The limit had been £1 million. If elected the Labour Party has promised to undo the proposals branding them a Tory tax cut for the wealthiest. The party produced an analysis stating the measure suggested in Mr. Hunt's budget will save the richest 1% of retirees £45,000 when they reach retirement age. In light of the ongoing cost of living problem shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves said that it was the wrong focus.
