The leader of the rebel Labour MPs who forced Sir Keir Starmer to abandon his welfare reforms has called for a wealth tax to meet the ￡5billion cost of the U-turn.
Rachael Maskell, who led the backbench Labour rebellion which forced further changes to the reforms last week, suggested that as much as ￡24bn a year could be raised by increases in capital gains tax and other measures.
