Brace for impact: Reviewing Labour’s first Budget
About the event
Join us on Thursday 31st October where we’ll discuss the fallout from Labour’s first Budget and explore the implications it has for business, the public and Parliament.
Immediately upon taking office, Labour made it very clear that their first Budget would not be pleasant.
Pledging to right the economic wrongs of the previous Conservative administration, Labour have been relentless in preparing the public for tax rises and service cuts.
Their framing has come under fire, with accusations that their language is suppressing any appetite for much-longed-for growth. Labour claim it’s vital to manage expectations, and be honest with the scale of the challenge they need to overcome.
Who wins and who loses from the fiscal choices Rachel Reeves and Keir Starmer make will set the tone for the rest of this Parliament – and many political battles to come.
