As Labour's manifesto commitment to not raise taxes on working people comes under scrutiny, definitions of 'working people' remain unclear, causing confusion and debate.
Keir Starmer clarified that his definition of working people does not include those with income from assets, like shares or property, emphasizing regular wage reliance.
Downing Street clarified Starmer's comment, insisting that the definition must not exclude those with small stakes in investments or shares, drawing attention to ambiguity.
The term 'working person' has both an economic and a political definition: one precise based on income sources, the other vague and influenced by political narratives.
