Prime Minister’s tax return crept out with the house in recess.

But the front page of the Financial Times splashed a blunt warning: “Sunak makes 1.8 m capital gains as he struggles to engage with hard-up voters” In Wellingborough, participants in a More in Common focus group with 2019 Tory voters said the PM was “financially on another planet” and “abandoning hard-working people”.

Pledges not to raise income tax, national insurance, capital gains or corporation tax feel like an iron corset.

So far Labour has announced no plans for raising Hunt ’s missing 20bn, let alone to repair collapsing services.

Only 5.6bn is due from its non-dom, private school and “carried interest” abolition.
