Labour’s Budget will ‘trash the economy and trash growth’, Carole Malone claims

Chancellor Rachel Reeves’s Budget has been branded “the worst in my lifetime”, by political commentator Carole Malone as Labour delivered a record amount of tax rises.

Delivering her economic plans to the House of Commons on Wednesday, Reeves launched a fresh attack on business owners by imposing a rise in national insurance contributions for employers, as well as a cut to business rate relief in 2025.
