Labour will win this General Election but I don’t think Sir Keir will be party leader a year from now because there are many amongst Labour MP’s who will want to be more radical. Who would you like to see as leader of the Labour Party a year from now and why?

Sunak paid £508,308 in UK tax last year

It is scandalous that he gets away with paying such a small percentage.

Considering his £150K salary, associated employer costs like pension etc, his security detail, the grace and favour accommodation, free transport and expenses, I wonder if he's even a net contributor?

I like the way that the lib dems have concentrated on social care, health and carers.

I hope that Kier Starmer does the same.

Sunak made 2.2m and paid 23% in tax. It's so low because most of his income comes from capital gains and that attracts a far lower %% rate than workers pay via PAYE etc.

He and his wife are worth an estimated £651m, up from an estimated £529m the year before. Obviously most of that is her fortune coming from her family's ownership of Infosys, for which she is not obliged to pay tax, having paid the £30,000 fee for non-dom status. That said, in 2022 she did say she would pay tax:

Some of that infosys profit comes from their operations in Russia. Despite being PM he is happy to accept blood money from Russia.

A huge rise in income. With the extremely rich getting far richer, the levelling up the Tories suggested they would implement clearly wasn't successful. It isn't politics of envy to expect people to pay more tax on their huge increases. Capital gains tax is low as mentioned before.
