Fury as bombshell new Mandelson files reveal Starmer’s Labour are hell-bent on raising taxes to spend on BENEFITS

The newly disclosed Mandelson Files have ignited controversy by suggesting that Labour, under Starmer's leadership, is planning to increase taxes to fund benefit programs. A 2025 text from a Labour minister to Lord Mandelson highlights the party's focus on tax hikes to finance welfare, prompting criticism from Tory leader Kemi Badenoch who labeled them the "Welfare Party." This revelation matters because it sheds light on Labour's fiscal policies and raises questions about the future of taxation and social welfare funding in the UK.
