Send us a textPolicy shapes pay packets, childcare, heating bills, and even how we move around our cities. We break down Rachel Reeves' Autumn Budget without jargon, showing how frozen thresholds create fiscal drag, why dividend and property tax hikes shift the balance toward taxing wealth, and how ISA changes nudge under 65s into risk. We look at the upside too, scrapping the two child cap, targeted help on energy bills, a rare freeze on rail fares, and what the new EV per‑mile charge means for the future of funding our roads and the reality of going electric.Power is shifting in entertainment as well. With Paramount Skydance launching a hostile bid for Warner Bros Discovery and outbidding Netflix, we explore what consolidation means for the streaming wars, catalogue control, and your monthly subscriptions. Culture isn't only created; it's distributed, priced, and fenced off, and those decisions ripple through what stories get made and who gets to see them.Safety and dignity are non negotiable. We spotlight the British Transport Police's silent text service 61016 so you can discreetly report harassment on the Tube, and we talk candidly about luxury retail bias versus glossy representation, even as A$AP Rocky fronts Chanel. In the workplace, we share a tactical playbook for handling an aggressive senior colleague: set boundaries, document meticulously, build public advocates, and use policy to protect yourself. We also preview a practical series on starting a UK business the right way trademarks, bookkeeping, HMRC timelines and celebrate Sister Scribble's sell out momentum and what it takes to scale a young brand with intention.If this conversation helps you see your money, career, and safety with clearer eyes, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review telling us the moment that hit home most.

Susie Harris, director of business development at Parkwalk Advisors, the fund management business of IP Group PLC (LSE:IPO), talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about how UK government policy changes are set to improve the funding landscape for deep tech companies and university spinouts. Harris welcomed the decision, announced in Chancellor Rachel Reeves' Autumn Budget statement, to double the limits for knowledge-intensive companies from £20 million to £40 million, describing it as a “pretty significant change” that will allow companies to scale further and remain rooted in the UK. She explained that deep tech businesses often require funding “well in excess of £20 million” just to reach revenue generation, and that the previous cap had created a funding gap between early-stage and scale-up investment. Harris highlighted that the move should help prevent UK-born innovations from being acquired too early: “The UK has become a bit of an incubator economy… many of those [companies are] acquired before the businesses really have an opportunity to scale up within the UK.” Harris also discussed the role of the British Business Bank, UK Research and Innovation, the British Growth Partnership, and the National Wealth Fund in catalysing investment across the growth curve. These bodies, she said, could work together to turn the UK from an incubator economy into a scale-up economy. She added that later-stage institutional capital, particularly from pension funds, would now be better positioned to support the global growth of domestic tech companies. “Some pretty significant capital is required at those later stages to enable deep tech companies to establish themselves as global businesses,” Harris noted. Looking ahead, Harris said Parkwalk Advisors and IP Group see “an extraordinary opportunity for these businesses to now be able to scale and succeed” with the added support of private and public capital at every stage.

We discuss the pipeline of deals to come.We also discuss another country where there has been plenty of political intrigue and economic strife: France.

Yesterday Chancellor Rachel Reeves delivered a Budget that will hike taxes by £26 billion and bring a huge change to personal finances up and down the country.More than 1.7 million people will face paying more income tax after the Chancellor froze thresholds, meaning people will be dragged into paying the tax for the first time or shifted into higher bands as earnings increase. While there is a new “mansion tax” on £2 million homes and above, a pay-per mile charge for electric vehicles, a new national insurance tax on salary sacrifice pension contributions above £2,000 and changes to ISA rules.Some levies placed on energy bills will go - lowering bills for millions of households by £150 a year, the Chancellor said. While the two-child benefit cap has been scrapped. Increased tax rates on dividends, property and savings income by two percentage points will all be introduced.We're joined by The Standard's Political Editor Nic Cecil with the latest.

The UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves, has delivered the Autumn Budget 2025. In her much-anticipated second Budget, the Chancellor announced a broad spectrum of tax measures which she said were designed both to secure public finances and make the UK tax system fairer. After much press speculation, rumours and reported U-turns, there is now some welcome clarity on how the government intends to balance the books, with the largest revenue raising measure being a stealth tax increase through the freezing of income tax thresholds. Outside of the headline grabbing measures, the government has published details on new and ongoing business tax reform measures, a number of which will be included in the upcoming Finance Bill. In our latest podcast, Josh Critchlow speaks to May Smith, Emily Szasz and Sam Withnall from our London tax team about the smorgasbord of business tax measures they found most noteworthy in the Autumn Budget 2025, including: headline tax revenue raising measures including extending the freeze on income tax/NICs thresholds and raising income tax rates on dividend, savings and property income; the introduction of a new ‘UK listing relief' from SDRT, providing a 3 year exemption from the 0.5% SDRT charge on agreements to transfer securities of newly listed companies on a UK regulated market; confirmation that an ‘Advance Tax Certainty Service' for major investment projects in the UK will be launched in July 2026; changes to the capital allowances regime, including a new 40% first-year allowance and reduction of writing down allowances for main rate expenditure; broadening an anti-avoidance rule applicable to capital gains rollover relief on share exchanges and reorganisations; an update on proposals to reform behavioural tax penalties; revisions to the UK VAT grouping rules applicable to overseas establishments; confirmation that a permanent revenue-based oil and gas price mechanism will take effect on expiry of the existing Energy Profits Levy; additional measures to tackle tax avoidance; and measures not included in the Budget announcements, including the rumoured ‘partnership NICs' and exit tax.

In this hard-hitting episode, legendary journalist and broadcaster Andrew Neil sits down with host Julia Hartley-Brewer to deliver a blistering verdict on Chancellor Rachel Reeves' Autumn Budget 2025. Labeling it the "biggest tax increase of any government since the 1970s," Neil slams the £26 billion hike as a betrayal of voter trust—funding soaring welfare costs while squeezing workers, savers, and businesses. "Nobody voted for any of this. It's bad for democracy," he warns, unpacking how this "watershed" moment could stall economic growth, fuel inflation, and deepen the UK's fiscal woes. From scrapped benefit caps to record-high taxes, explore the real impact on everyday Brits and whether Labour's promises are crumbling under the weight of reality.

Lawyers acting for victims of the infected blood scandal have written to the Chancellor demanding urgent action to avoid families and loved ones having to pay £100,000s in tax. The government has previously said compensation payments would not be subject to Inheritance Tax. But with around 3,000 victims having already died they say a change in the rules is needed to avoid their loved ones facing huge tax bills. The Treasury says it's "considering" the issue and a decision will be made at the Budget.Plans to reform standing charges for gas and electricity "will not work" and should be scrapped, the trade body for the energy industry Energy UK has told Money Box. Standing charges are the fixed daily cost that households pay just to be connect to electricity or gas supply. They rose sharply this month to an average £320 a year - more than £6 a week - a cost you must pay before you turn on a light or cook your dinner. Suppliers say they cover the cost of providing and maintaining the supply. However, the energy regulator Ofgem is considering proposals to offer all customers a reduced standing charge, but at the cost of paying more for the electricity and gas they actually use. It says that will increase choice for consumers but Energy UK wants them to rethink the proposal.How much will benefits rise in April?And with one month to go, what would you like to know ahead of the Autumn Budget?Presenter: Paul Lewis Reporters: Dan Whitworth and Jo Krasner Researcher: Eimear Devlin Editor: Jess Quayle Senior News Editor: Sara Wadeson(First broadcast at 12pm on Saturday 25th October 2025)

Britain's jobless rate has surged to its highest level for more than four-and-a-half years, as the labour market continues to weaken. London had the highest unemployment rate of any region in the UK at 6.5%, up 0.5% since the previous quarter, the Office for National Statistics reports. Hikes to employer national insurance contributions have been largely blamed for the trend. But the grim jobless figures make a December interest rate cut from the Bank of England a near certainty. The capital has been hit particularly hard because of its large numbers of relatively low paid workers in hospitality and retail. It comes ahead of Chancellor Rachel Reeves' autumn budget later in the month, when it's widely expected that she will break Labour's manifesto pledge and increase taxes in an attempt to kickstart the UK's sluggish economy.
