British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to introduce significant tax increases in the Labour Party-led government's first Budget since its July electoral triumph. The measures are part of an attempt to address what Labour describes as a financial deficit inherited from the previous Conservative administration.

On Wednesday, Rachel Reeves will make history as the first UK Chancellor to present the Budget in the House of Commons amidst widespread anticipation of tax hikes in areas such as capital gains and inheritance. Starmer's government has pledged not to raise taxes for 'working people', a term that has sparked considerable debate.

Amid criticism, Starmer remains steadfast, emphasizing that these tough decisions are essential to avoiding austerity in public services and securing future investments. This Budget aims to revitalize trust in the Labour Party by focusing on delivering tangible benefits to the working populace of the UK.
