    Is Rachel Reeves Right to Say Critics are Talking Rubbish?

    It’s not just Angela Rayner who finds herself on the defensive; Rachel Reeves has come out fighting - claiming many of her critics are talking rubbish.

    Is Rachel Reeves About to Launch a Massive Tax Raid on Property and Pensions?

    The Labour government's need for cash is greater than its appetite for considered reform, City AM's Editor in Chief, Christian May, voices his concern in this episode of Week in Business.  Christian argues that there is no scenario in which a new property tax regime instigated by this government would yield less revenue than the current arrangements. Easing the burden on taxpayers is not the priority here; however, they dress it up.  Week in Business is also available in video format here.

    Reeves charms the City of London, but what about the rest of the UK economy?

    Rachel Reeves was right when she said this week that the financial services sector “is critical” for our country, as she charmed the City of London, says City AM's Editor in Chief, Christian May, in this episode of Week in Business.  However, Christian points out that too many parts of the country are blighted by low productivity, low income, low levels of investment and a decline in living standards that’s set to last to the end of this decade.  Week in Business is also available in video format here.
