2025 Budget: 5 UK Autumn Budget and Rachel Reeves Predictions I Think Will Hit Your Wallet Hard in November
Kemi Badenoch demands Rachel Reeves' dismissal if November Budget includes tax hikes over £20 billion, breaking Labour's no-tax-rise pledge, amid fiscal pressures.
- On Thursday, at a pre-Budget rally, Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch urged the prime minister to sack Rachel Reeves if she raises taxes at the November 26 Budget as spending plans tighten in the United Kingdom.
- Reeves is widely expected to raise taxes next month to plug a spending shortfall thought to be more than £20 billion, while the Office for Budget Responsibility is set to downgrade productivity.
- At Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday, Labour's 2024 manifesto pledged no tax rises, but Keir Starmer declined to repeat this, and Kemi Badenoch said `that now looks like a lie as she is gearing up to impose more punishing tax hikes`.
- Badenoch added that she would not commit to reversing income tax rises and said Rachel Reeves should resign if found to have broken the law.
- The Conservatives also point to last year's Budget, citing about 6 billion pounds of tax increases, as evidence Labour has already raised taxes, with Reeves's local licence issue fueling speculation she may be replaced.
