Will a Wealth Tax Save Britain or Sink It?
Ian Collins asks whether Rachel Reeves’ mansion tax and proposed wealth-tax measures can really save Britain’s economy. Professor Len Shackleton breaks down Reeves’ £15bn welfare expansion, the plan to hit 100,000 homes with a mansion tax, and growing warnings that the Budget could hammer working-class families. Stephen Kinsella from Patriotic Millionaires argues why taxing wealth is the only way out as union bosses tell Sir Keir Starmer he must go if the Budget backfires. Lucy White joins us to examine the growing fury over migrant accommodation at military camps, from free wellbeing sessions and sports events to anti-migrant protesters urging council-tax boycotts, and the row over migrants who cheated citizenship tests being allowed to retake them. Plus, motoring expert Steve Berry looks at the rise of ultra-cheap Chinese ‘Temu cars’ now undercutting Porsche and Rolls Royce and what it means for Britain’s car industry. Hosted on Acast.
