Reeves paves way for tax rises after £3bn borrowing surge
The spending watchdog said higher pay deals for public sector workers were a key factor. “The difference with our forecast profile is driven primarily by higher-than-forecast consumption spending by government departments (£5.8bn), which appears related to strong growth in public sector pay,” the OBR said.

Reeves’ appraisal of Britain’s economy is becoming laughable
First quarter growth was 0.7pc, while the second quarter, announced last week, yielded a still healthy 0.6pc.

Chinese electric cars will be dumped in Britain, experts warn

Entitlement and laziness are crushing the life out of Britain
And how does the political class react? There’s the growing hostility towards business, with Labour bleating about the miseries of employment under “unscrupulous” bosses and the need for more worker “rights”. There may well be circumstances in which greater flexibility benefits both parties, which is why millions of voluntary agreements are already in place. But...
