    Entrepreneurs react to UK Budget - Will This Fix Britains Debt Disaster?

    In this episode, we dive deep into the UK's 2024 Autumn Budget, a pivotal moment in British history. With Labour delivering their first budget in 14 years and the first female Chancellor leading the charge, there’s a lot to unpack. We discuss the £22 billion black hole in the nation's finances, the biggest tax shake-up in a generation, and Labour's promise to avoid raising taxes on working people—meaning no increases in VAT, National Insurance, or Income Tax. But what does this really mean for businesses and entrepreneurs? How will these changes impact the UK economy, and more importantly, how do we address the growing debt crisis? ________________ Sign up to Wise Business banking: https://wise.com/gb/business/?utm_sou...
