Manage episode 447821987 series 3541991
Rachel Reeves has announced £40bn worth of tax rises on businesses and the rich to help repair the UK's "broken" public services.
In her first Budget speech, the Chancellor confirmed today she will not increase national insurance, VAT or income tax for working people. But hiked employers’ national insurance contributions by 1.2 percentage points - insisting it was “the right choice to make”.
Will the changes be for the best, or break the country's finances further? Join Paul Hutcheon, Hannah Rodger and Ben Borland in this episode of Planet Holyrood.
