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.

Send us a text◆ UK government guns for growth but did it miss? ◆ French fancy: FIG in favour again ◆ Pandas and Wontons with the AIIBAfter months of speculation, the UK government delivered its Autumn Budget this week. The country may have felt like it has been through the worst of times but are we about to enter the best of times? We pick through the policies to see how they will affect capital markets from IPOs to retail investment. In the immediate future, market participants are tipping sterling bonds to appear from corporate issuers. 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. A number of French banks recently came to the bond market with successful new issues. We examine what that tells us about investors' and issuers' view on French risk.This episode of the GlobalCapital Podcast is sponsored by the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. In a special interview, we spoke to the bank's head of funding, Darren Stipe about its role in the Panda bond market, and it's creation of the nascent Wonton market.

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.

Just hours after Rachel Reeves sets out the budget to parliament, this webinar brought together a team of Institute for Government (IfG) experts to share their instant and essential analysis of the chancellor's plans. Who are the winners and losers of Reeves's tax and spending announcements? How will her measures affect economic growth? Has the chancellor finally set a coherent tax strategy?

The webinar was chaired by Dr Hannah White.
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.

The Chancellor has prepared the pitch for a tough second Budget, with tax rises expected as part of a fiscal strategy designed to reassure markets that the UK's public finances are firmly under control. But the Chancellor has also promised to protect the NHS, boost growth and support families with the cost of living. Acting decisively on all of these priorities would be no mean feat as part of a Budget that takes more than it gives. How tough a settlement has the Chancellor delivered on tax rises and spending cuts? To what extent have manifesto pledges been breached? How much will the measures announced help or hinder economic growth? Who are the main winners and losers? And to what extent has this Budget laid the groundwork for the rest of the Parliament? Speakers Richard Hughes Chair of the Office for Budget Responsibility Kamal Ahmed Columnist at the Daily Telegraph Yael Selfin Vice Chair and Chief Economist at KPMG James Smith Research Director at the Resolution Foundation Ruth Curtice Chief Executive of the Resolution Foundation (Chair)

They also weigh in on other challenges facing the NHS, including productivity, the need for more incisive healthcare solutions and why long-term planning is needed to improve health outcomes.

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. The Standard's Business Editor Jonathan Prynn is here with the latest. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode from the PwC Economics team, Barret Kupelian Chief Economist and Andy Haldane Special Advisor speak to Simon Oates, UK Economics Leader on their latest thoughts on the economy, why households are saving and weigh on the Chancellor's high-level fiscal options for the Autumn Budget. They are also joined by Fatos Koc from the OECD on a fascinating discussion on global public debt levels.
With the Autumn Budget looming, this week The Rundown takes a look at one of the key players in shaping the government's fiscal policy, but one that we know little about. The forecast on the future health of the British economy delivered to Rachel Reeves by the Office for Budget Responsibility will have more impact on shaping what the Chancellor announces next month than almost anything else, but who are the unelected panjandrums who sit on the independent body known as the OBR, how reliable are their economic estimations, and why do they hold so much sway over the Treasury?Joining host Alain Tolhurst to discuss whether the OBR really runs Britain, and if it needs reform, or perhaps abolition all together as some have suggested, is the Conservative former Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, and Ben Zaranko, associate director at the think tank the Institute for Fiscal Studies, and Jeevun Sandher, a Labour MP and former member of the Treasury Select Committee.To sign up for our newsletters click hereAnd to submit your nomination for this year's Women in Westminster: The 100 list, click herePresented by Alain Tolhurst, produced by Nick Hilton and edited by Ewan Cameron for Podot
Despite repeated assurances that Labour would not break its election manifesto by hiking income tax, it appears it is now under consideration by the Chancellor in the Autumn Budget. Why is Rachel Reeves mulling over this U-turn, how much would it cost us, and would she really dare to do it? This is Money's Angharad Carrick, Helen Crane and Georgie Frost discuss. Speculation over a 'mansion tax' in the Budget has also reared its head again. The team discuss whether it's a good idea to tax people with pricey homes, and how on earth HM Revenue & Customs would decide whether someone's house is worth more than £2million or not. Elsewhere, some good news in store, as Goldman Sachs has predicted the Bank of England will cut interest rates at its meeting next week. Does fading inflation and sluggish growth mean this is now on the cards, and would the Bank dare to make a move before the Budget beast is unleashed? The team discuss. They also look at why we're now paying three times the energy standing charges we were six years ago, and why some chocolate biscuits can no longer call themselves chocolate.
The countdown is on: Chancellor Rachel Reeves has just six weeks to finalise her Autumn Budget before the November 26 deadline. This week, she was in Washington DC for the annual meeting of the IMF, where she hinted at tax rises for the rich, while pinning some blame for Britain's economic problems on her predecessors. The British public are not likely to love the chancellor's efforts to fill the projected £22bn hole, but who will they hold responsible? Host George Parker is joined by deputy opinion editor Miranda Green, associate editor and columnist Stephen Bush, and the FT's economics commentator Chris Giles for a deep dive into the UK's public finances, and to explain why the China spy case roiling Westminster is all about economics.Follow George on: @georgewparker.bsky.social or @GeorgeWParker; Chris on @chrisgiles.ft.com or @ChrisGiles_; Stephen on @stephenkb and Miranda on @greenmirandahere.bsky.social or @greenmirandaWant more?

Rachel Reeves has admitted that next month's Autumn Budget will see Labour raise taxes on the wealthy.As she was heading to Washington for meetings with the IMF, The Chancellor told Sky News she was “looking at tax and spending” ahead of the November 26th fiscal event, and then went on to tell The Guardian that taxes on the wealthy “will be part of the story”.On today's Daily T podcast, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley are joined by Sunday Telegraph editor Allister Heath, who calls Reeves's plans “delusional”, that her blaming Brexit for economic stagnation proves Labour “doesn't understand Britain” and says that “the moment you start saying to wealthy people ‘we're going to confiscate your money', it's the beginning of the end”.► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.
