From Dan Neidle at Tax Policy Associates:
Rachel Reeves' Spring Statement papers contain a major suite of anti-tax avoidance proposals, probably the toughest ever introduced. If enacted this will, in effect, criminalise the tax avoidance industry.
Why wasn't it referenced in her speech?
Why wasn't it mentioned in all he pre-and-post speech news and comment?

/3 edited #SpringStatement Rachel Reeves has failed to “fix the foundations” and has resorted to the kind of “sticking-plaster solutions” to which Keir Starmer said the Tories were addicted. The Independent View
Rachel Reeves will soon be back to squeeze us again. It was not a Budget, but it had as much impact as one
From the Independent. (so Indy it's behind a f'ing paywall. Free speech, my rse!). #UKPolitics #Economics -
2/ edited.#SpringStatement Reeves has begged Trump not to impose the tariffs on British exports to the US.
Jonathan Reynolds, the business secretary, urged colleagues to “keep cool heads”, as British officials are in emergency talks with the US to stop the levy. As Reeves said yesterday, “the world has changed' readers react to the spring statement 'performative cruelty’, ‘out of touch’, ‘genuine poverty’. -
1/ Edited from 'The Independent'
The View from Westminster
Spring statement overtaken by events already. Within hours of Rachel Reeves’s spring statement yesterday, Donald Trump announced 25 per cent tariffs on all car imports to the US to take effect in a week. –that would negate the chancellor’s announcements at a stroke. Having just restored her £9.9bn headroom against her self-imposed fiscal rules in the forecast for 2029, American tariffs would wipe it out.

If we were the chancellor, here's what would have been in our #springstatement
An analysis of the economic upsides of financing cycling (and e-bikes)
If you were the Chancellor (and you were making cycling policy...), what would you have included?

Satire but the way Labour are going, this may well be a party political broadcast for them.

I wouldn't trust Rachel Reeves to run a path, never mind the economy. These cuts are going to cause further economic contraction, especially in working class areas. This Labour government are a government for billionaires and bankers. #springstatement #labour #rachelreeves #starmer

Today's front pages are not holding back after Reeves' #SpringStatement. Cutting benefits for people on the lowest incomes is - unsurprisingly - *not* a popular policy. You know what is? A closer trading relationship with the EU. Our latest polling below. ⤵️

"People know that there is no justification for these cuts. It does not have to be like this. The Chancellor could scrap her self-imposed fiscal rules or use our taxation system to raise the revenue needed for the better future we all want to see."

Speaking as I find. Fortunate man had the benefit of studying at the #LSE , that school for dissidents and left wing thought before she sold out to the Yankee $ and the Chinese 💹. So, applying some critical thinking, when 'our' politicians are tub thumping about affairs elsewhere #Ukraine #Russia you can be sure they are trying to distract you from crisis's and catastrophe on the home front. #UKPol #SpringStatement #Defence #Europe #Government

Really worth watching this clear analysis of Reeves’ Spring Statement, showing that it is deeply flawed. It hinges on maintaining high interest rates to attract foreign investors, but this will in effect bankrupt the UK economy

Rachel Reeves’ Spring Statement is deeply worrying
Richard Murphy argues that Reeves' plan is based on attracting massive foreign investment based on high borrowing rates, and the poorest in the UK paying the price.
Funnelling money from poor UK residents to rich foreign investors is not an economic plan, it's a catastrophe, morally disgusting and plays straight into the hands of Reform
