Labour defends Sunak attack ads as it turns fire on PM’s wife

Non-dom tax status of Akshata Murty called into question in latest ad criticising Tories’ record

A senior Labour politician has said the Conservative record on crime and child sexual abuse prosecutions are “legitimate areas for public debate”, as the party released another attack ad focusing on Rishi Sunak’s wife’s non-dom status.

The latest advert, featuring another picture of Sunak, reads: “Do you think it’s right to raise taxes for working people when your family benefited from a tax loophole? Rishi Sunak does.”
