Shabana Mahmood: “it cannot be right to cut the top rate of tax”

The government has already done some work in this area, but I'm sure we will have to go further.

the next Labour government will put that rate back to 50p while we get the deficit down

This surge in enforcement activity takes us to the highest level in British history. Illegal workers and rogue employers have nowhere to hide.

To do so, I believe we must restore fairness to our asylum system, fairness both to those who are fleeing war and persecution, and also fairness towards those communities already here who bear the burden of supporting them.
