Labour are promising no increases in income tax or NI.
They will need more tax, though, if they become the ruling party.
Are there a range of stealth taxes that could hit the wealthy? Apart from VAT on private schools. One suggestion I read was VAT on financial services. There must be others. Then there's the big one; scrapping reliefs on pension contributions.

not much else they can do
the Conservative client media (which is most of it) would go after Labour relentlessly if their manifesto had tax rises..........the old trope of "Labour get in and they put taxes up" trope never ends
Hunt is promising tax cuts...........despite Conservatives having put in place tax rises of £80b since they won in 2019

So without tax and ni raises will they lower thresholds ?
Or make spending cuts ?
VAT on private schools might raise £1.7 billion, but push how many kids into the state sector - The Independent thinks it could be 25% - so £400 million less raised but how much of that extra to go to the state sector
Just a gimmick

The IMF have also been pushing sort the social aspects out.

Putting his own interests before his party's. He's making noises about standing in the future purely as a pr response to criticism from hard right allies including 30 pee lee. He was always a propagandist before a parliamentarian.
They are parroting torey policies to appeal to brexhit voters.
yes the grapevine was correct.Remember this prediction back in April?
where did you read these suggestions?
In the Guardian a few weeks ago. It wasn't a Labour person, it was an academic.
More public spending is within Labour’s grasp – here’s how it could find an extra £90bn a year | Richard Murphy
Five simple policy ideas could generate billions for a Labour chancellor and end the threat of continued austerity, says Richard Murphy of Sheffield University
www.theguardian.com
I would suggest he is a biased academic, Murphy was an informal economic advisor to Jeremy Corbyn.
The article you link contains some good points but Murphy does seem to spend his time pushing MMT….a favourite magic money tree for socialists
