What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

Chancellor John Healey is expected to outline plans aimed at driving economic growth across all postcodes, not just major cities, ahead of the October 28 Budget. Meanwhile, Andy Burnham stated that the upcoming Budget must find the right balance between taxing wealth and income, given tax increases in 2024 and 2025. This discussion occurs as government borrowing rose to £18.3bn in August, while inflation hit its highest level in five months.
