Sir Keir Starmer has opened the door for the Labour government to unleash both wealth taxes and an extension of stealth taxes in a bid to balance the books following his welfare U-turns.

By dismissing trans identities and rights as Prime Minister Starmer has done, the government risks repeating historical injustices that have profoundly affected LGBTQIA+ communities.
