The Chancellor defends her Budget tax rises

Available for over a year

The Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, has announced tax rises worth £26-billion in her Budget, which will take the government's overall tax take to record levels by the start of the next decade. Also: There's a hit on pension contributions, cash ISAs and high-value properties in England. And Ms Reeves confirms the abolition of the two-child benefits cap, in an attempt to lift children out of poverty.
