Scrap inheritance tax, that is what is required to turn around the disaster that Labour has created, did you know Starmer stoped an asylum seeker being returned to Rwanda?

Army recruitment was outsourced to Capit. They had been targeting a total of 9,813 recruits for this year, however the firm has only attracted around 5,000 since April last year.

According to the note now attached to it, Starmer did represent Hisb ut-Tahrir (when a barrister, I assume), as DPP he did prosecute them. And there's no evidence he invoiced them.
