How would hiking tax on landlords impact London's renters?

from The Standard

Today Chancellor Rachel Reeves has been accused of running “the economy like Baldrick”, from the Blackadder sitcom, and risking rising rents, amid reports that the Treasury is considering hiking tax for landlords. Ahead of this autumn’s budget, Reeves is desperately trying to find ways to raise revenue and improve the UK’s public finances. The Standard’s Chief Political Correspondent Rachael Burford is here with the latest. And in part two, freelance writer Kyle MacNeill joins us to discuss the growing popularity of sumo wrestling in the capital, ahead of The Grand Sumo Tournament being hosted at London’s Royal Albert Hall this October.  Hosted on Acast.
