DailyMail reported that Rishi Sunak warned Keir Starmer would harm Britain within 100 days if Labour wins the election on Thursday.
In a final attempt to stop voters from giving Labour a large majority, the Prime Minister highlighted several controversial policies he says Sir Keir would implement right after taking office.
These include ending the Rwanda migrant scheme, adding VAT to private school fees, and allowing 16-year-olds to vote.
Sunak stated: “Labour would do lasting damage in just 100 days. They would raise taxes and disrupt families’ plans for the autumn school term. Labour would also open our borders with an illegal migrant amnesty, making us a soft target for migrants.”
A Mail on Sunday poll found most voters worry about the risks of a Labour “supermajority.” The poll also showed that 38% expect Labour to raise taxes if they win.
Senior Tories argued that letting 16-year-olds vote is like “vote-rigging,” comparing it to Communist Cuba. Esther McVey, writing in the newspaper, said: “Sir Keir Starmer is too afraid to compete fairly in elections, so he uses these tactics to manipulate the results.”
Sunak warned that ending the Rwanda scheme would act as an amnesty for illegal migrants, releasing thousands onto the streets. He also claimed Labour would call an emergency Budget within weeks, raising taxes to a historic high.
The Prime Minister pointed out that Labour hasn’t ruled out revaluing council tax bands, which could cost households an extra £1,230 a year.
He also mentioned a potential pay-per-mile road tax similar to London Mayor Sadiq Khan’s Ulez scheme. Sunak said Labour hasn’t denied plans to increase capital gains and inheritance taxes and noted Angela Rayner’s promise to introduce French-style union laws, which Tory sources claim would hurt the job market and reduce wages.
Sunak warned that Labour’s VAT on school fees could force up to 134,000 private school students into state schools by September, causing uncertainty about school places.
He also said Labour would build on greenbelt land, tax people to meet green goals, and agree to a “youth mobility scheme” with the EU for free movement of under-30.
Sunak concluded Labour “cannot be trusted” with taxes, borders, or security. Lord Cameron and Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg also criticized Labour’s policies, with Rees-Mogg calling the end of the Rwanda scheme a “welcome mat” for migrants, potentially adding 90,000 to the asylum queue.
