Labour vows to REVERSE 45p tax cut and use it to fund NHS workers
The government argues that by slashing it, big businesses will be more likely to move their staff to Britain, in turn growing the economy and benefiting working people.
But Labour argues the tax scrap is a gift to the rich and won't have any benefit on low income households. Ms Reeves pledged to reinstate the top rate if made Chancellor, and use the £2bn it raises to double the number of medical school places from 7,500 to 15,000. The tax would also pay to double the number of qualifying nurses every year, train 5,000 more health visitors and create 10,000 extra nursing and midwifery placements.
