Planet Holyrood - The Labour Budget, are workers worse off?

Rachel Reeves has announced £40bn worth of tax rises on businesses and the rich to help repair the UK's "broken" public services.

In her first Budget speech, the Chancellor confirmed today she will not increase national insurance, VAT or income tax for working people. But hiked employers’ national insurance contributions by 1.2 percentage points - insisting it was “the right choice to make”.
