London | British Labour leader Keir Starmer has stuck to his Albanese-style small-target election strategy, unveiling a program for government that made almost no new promises.

He confirmed a clutch of tax tweaks that would raise £8.6 billion ($16.5 billion), but vowed not to raise income tax, company tax, the “national insurance” payroll tax, or the tax on goods and services known in Britain as VAT.
