Our Hardman &amp; Co Insight of October 2024 looked forward to the first Labour Budget for 14 years.
The main theme was that, because the new Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, had ruled out increases in taxes on ‘working people’, investors would bear the brunt of any tax increases to fill the alleged £22bn hole in the public finances left to the new government by the Tories.
