Is Rachel Reeves really going to raise income tax for everyone > do everything to make rich pay fair share (CGT, mansion tax etc) which will raise far more ? May sound good in Treasury but = political suicide. Pensioners fuel pt 2, Reform keys to no 11 ! theguardian.com/politics/2025/…
Several "fair" ideas to fund most of budget gap + headroom. But 2p on income tax is political suicide even if offset w 2p NI cut. Much fairer make rich pay NIC on all earnings & end 40% tax relief on rich pensions. Rachel Reeves Keir Starmer HM Treasury resolutionfoundation.org/publications/b…
Private institutions now control nearly half of all global financial assets, heightening the risk of another market meltdown, notes UMass Amherst’s Jayati Ghosh. bit.ly/4qOOLLB
Brilliant article. Hope Keir Starmer is reading this and not listening to focus groups or Daily Mail headlines. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
