Starmer repeats pledge to use money from scrapped non-dom tax for NHSpublished at 14:36 British Summer Time 10 October 2023
Starmer's now talking about the controversial nom-dom tax status, which he says allows the richest people to avoid paying for vital services.
By abolishing that, Starmer says Labour can and will invest all that money into the NHS.
This will equal "more appointments, more diagnostics and help to clear the backlog," he adds. There's big applause here.
Non-dom tax status was in the news after Rishi Sunak's wife Akshata Murthy was controversially found to pay £30,000 a year to maintain her non-dom status, her spokeswoman confirmed.
