Piers Morgan has had a scathing response to Prime Minister Keir Starmer over his controversial planned tax increases. It comes as the Prime Minister was interviewed by Sky News ' Beth Rigby, where he faced criticism for implying that individuals who hold assets don’t fit his idea of a working person. During a Sky News interview at a Commonwealth summit in Samoa, Starmer declared that he doesn’t view people earning income from assets, such as property shares, as working people.
He stated: “The sort of working people who go out and work hard and maybe save a bit of money but don’t have the wherewithal to write a cheque to get out of difficulties. That’s who I have in my mind.” When asked if someone who works and also has income from assets, like property shares, would count as a working person, Mr Starmer responded, “They wouldn’t come within my definition.
” Piers Morgan hit out at the comments and responded on Twitter, saying: “What? Last time I checked, I’m a working person...

If so, good for you. Their definition is likely tied to people who actually work. Not people who share their opinions then whine about how hard it is to write a paper.
They are likel.
