The tax system is dysfunctional. It taxes workers more than the wealthy and it's riddled with inefficiencies. Tomorrow's Budget is a chance to fix that.

Closing tax loopholes isn't bad for growth - it boosts efficiency and protects demand. The chancellor can raise tens of billions by targeting unfair wealth, landlords, banks and gambling companies, without hurting GDP. @rachaelhenry.bsky.social for @lbc.co.uk 👇

The gambling industry can afford to pay more. UK online gambling is taxed less than in many countries — reports that fair reform will hurt jobs or drive play offshore are overblown.

After 15 years of chop and change, today's industrial strategy is a real turning point for the UK economy.
Business finally has the certainty it needs to invest — especially in the green industries of the future.

This is a really good and important report. Some thoughts of my own...
Been lots of debate about what might turn the dial on child poverty. But we hear far less from families in poverty. Our new briefing sets out a blueprint for a successful child poverty strategy, grounded in experiences of hardship

This autumn will see the publication of the first UK child poverty strategy in many years. It is a time-limited and vital opportunity to make real and lasting difference to the lives of the 4.5 million children currently living in poverty. In this new report, co-produced with IPPR, we set out a realistic and targeted agenda for change. Now is the time to take sustainable and effective action on child poverty, working with the everyday experiences of families who know what would make a difference to them and their lives.
