The tax rises we predict will be in the Chancellor's Budget

Wednesday, November 19, 2025 • Duration 27:15

After months of furious speculation, briefing, leaking, and U-turning, the Chancellor Rachel Reeves is finalising her all-important second Budget.

It now looks like the rates of income tax won't rise after all - but, as Robert explains, there is a more hidden 'tax' on income that will affect millions of British workers and raise billions of pounds.

How will it all affect you, and how will it affect the Prime Minister's job security?

And what was the thinking behind the unusually family-focused video he posted on social media on International Men's Day?

Is it a sign that he's changing his style of leadership?
