Would you be hit by a tax attack on the Labour Budget? This is the Money podcast

A bad news budget looks set to loom as Labour continues to undermine optimism over its own election victory.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer delivered a sombre speech last week saying the Budget would be painful, following doomsday comments from Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves.

But where will the government get the extra money from now that it has promised not to increase income tax, national insurance, VAT or corporation tax rates?

Starmer said the tax rises would target those with the “broadest shoulders”. But who are those people?

And are there really enough very wealthy people to aim at, or is the burden likely to fall back on the shoulders of the wealthy middle class?

In this podcast we discuss which taxes could increase and what a capital gains tax, pension, inheritance or other tax evasion could mean for people.

In addition, Halifax, Britain’s biggest mortgage lender, is increasing its lending to first-time homebuyers. Crane investigates the case of Evri’s blunder and questions whether you’re entitled to have a parcel delivered.

And finally, after the chaos surrounding Oasis tickets and the sky-high prices, can you protect yourself from a potential Gallagher Brothers explosion, or something else that might stop you from going?
