What happened

Well supportedReported by 30 independent outlets

Chancellor John Healey is expected to introduce only a modest increase in Capital Gains Tax (CGT) in the upcoming Budget, according to reports from the Financial Times. This decision follows warnings from market analysts that significant tax increases could prompt investors to relocate capital abroad, potentially impacting the UK property market. Separately, Keir Starmer is facing internal political pressure, with Wes Streeting preparing to trigger a leadership contest.
