Badenoch says Healey’s budget will be worse than Reeves’s if he doesn’t slash spending – UK politics live

Conservative leader to give a speech later, while Treasury sources say Healey has ruled out a rise in capital gains tax Good morning. John Healey, the chancellor, is delivering his first budget a week tomorrow, and this morning there are two news developments that will help to frame the way it is received.

This is significant because a capital gains tax hike was for a while seen as the government’s preferred money-raising ploy, not least because several senior figures in the cabinet were lobbying for one earlier this year. But now it is off the table, according to Swinford. He says: Senior allies of Andy Burnham, including several cabinet ministers, have been pressing for a rise in capital gains tax on the sale of second homes, shares and other assets to help repair the public finances.
