  • Will Budget tax rises WRECK trust in Labour? We asked its deputy leader

    Will Budget tax rises WRECK trust in Labour? We asked its deputy leader
    2025/11/04
    Rachel Reeves has, once again, said it without really saying it: Brace yourselves for tax rises.

    In an unusual pre-budget speech today, the Chancellor said she would "make the choices necessary” as speculation mounts that she is preparing to raise income tax to help fill a gap in the public finances.

    In her first in-depth interview since becoming Labour's deputy leader, Tom and Robert are joined by Lucy Powell to discuss whether the Labour 'brand' could be fatally hurt by this decision - and what it does to public trust in politics.

    She says the government must 'tread carefully' when it comes to issues that threaten to undermine public trust.

    They also discuss how Labour can turn the tide on Nigel Farage - and why she believes Labour is 'ceding the agenda' to Reform UK.
