Rachel Reeves will raise taxes and increase borrowing as she promises to “invest, invest, invest” to “rebuild Britain”.
The UK’s first female chancellor will deliver the first Labour budget since Alistair Darling in 2010, promising to put “more pounds in people’s pockets”.
But commitments not to increase income tax or national insurance on employees are likely to see companies hit with a greater share of the burden to help repair the nation’s finances and fund stretched public services.
Talk’s Alex Phillips says: “Labour has got very excited!”

About The Author
The majority of EVs are 'company cars', bought because of all the incentives and tax-breaks offered by the Government. Most are charged on company premises at the company's expense. Those cars are largely driven by senior company personnel, who not only get numerous other company 'expenses' but will often also be able to claim a number of home expenses/costs against their tax bills. They will likely live in larger homes with 'off road' parking, where they can have a home charger.
The pothole situation has got worse because most councils now farm out the repairs to contractors instead of their own works department.
Contractors frequently make sub-standard repairs, knowing they'll be coming back to repair the same hole within a couple of years. They are milking the councils!
It's really not that much of a hassle to have an electric car. I don't normally share personal circumstances, but I will on this occasion: I'm in a rented accommodation with no off-street parking, and I've gotten the green light from my Landlord, my neighbours and the local council to get an box installed near enough to the road, and I have a fitter ready to do the work and provide me with a rubber mat to lay across the pavement so I can safely charge my car. To charge my car locally from 20% – 90% it costs £25. You can barely half fill a 3-door diesel hatchback for that kind of money. And, yet, I can charge my car twice in a month and still pay about the same or marginally less than I would to fuel a diesel once, and that's playing the will-it-won't-it game with the fuel needle. Plus, they're more comfortable and more spacious in most cases. The apps aren't that bad once you remember to click "Charge" on the app. The most inconvenient thing about owning an electric car in a suburban location is how long it can take to charge. 30-60 minutes. At night, it can take 4-7 hours, but you pay *****£4*****. That's a bit of a false economy as the saving isn't recouped for about 3 years after the outlay to get it installed, but these cars are likely not to have their first service until around about then, if not after. So, I see what's being said, but I do actually use one in under the circumstance that is being outlined, and I have to say: not that big a problem. THE ROAD TAX HOWEVER??? Bloody criminals. 3-door diesel hatchback? £20. Electric? £190. They push net zero, you go net zero, they punish you. Thieving bar stewards.
Get a diesel. Not refuelling planning required.
Cost less at home.
EV vehicles…VW has just shut 3 factories in Germany because they cant sell them. As for Lorries weight damaging the roads….COME ON, that argument is over 20 years old. Trucks with trailers run on AIR SUSPENSION…DO your homework instead of speiling off the same shite year after year.
Rebuild Britain? I'm a structural engineer, and I left this sinking ship 2 weeks ago. I wonder how you want to rebuild this country when you punish people like me and reward useless p@rasites.
VW is closing factories down as few people want battery fire hazzards with wheels. Fact.
Read my verbosed
they tried ev vehicles in the early part of the 20 century. but failed. knowing it was not going to work. insurance is very high.depreciation is very high. if you got money to throw away it is the perfect vehicle to buy
So NO ONE is buying these POS electric cars, so what are they going to do with them??????? Scrap them???????? They are rubbish anyway
Well done for putting £11 billion compensation aside to fund the post office and infected blood scandals.
Something I think has been overlooked is the tax by the back door. Energy Companies are raising prices on domestic energy. The Gov are then going to levy a windfall tax on those Companies' profits. So the Gov are getting their hands on that money which we have just paid without calling it a tax. Sneaky.
Labour say Gilt markets are not reacting much. That's because Reeves has borrowed so much for capital projects she is flush with spare cash which could go to paying a good return on gilts.
I have better things to do today than listen to that bunch of liars in government. I'd rather clean my toilets!
Hunt reduced CGT allowance by approx. £9000 to £3000 and now Reeves increases the tax on CGT from 10% to 18% for lower income earners. Teamwork!
A lot of the power consumed by EVs (exploding vehicles) goes into schlepping the enormous weight of the battery!
Rachel Thieves hates the UK
Get them out
Liz truss said that the major mistake the Torys made was that in 14yrs they never managed to undo any of the laws and blob departments put in place by war criminal blair. And if they get back in power it will be the same all over again. Vote independent or reform.
If the herts council say Whitebarns Lane is unadopted, then the residents are within their rights to erect gates at either end and restrict access to residents and their guests: if they are responsible for road repair, they are entitled to restrict it’s usage.
Rebuild……reshape and we are not in the plan
The Conservative party had no plan either. Every UK institution got worse year on year for 14 years straight.
The Labour party are just continuing the rot.
