The Chancellor's Big Lie About Britain's Economy
Description
Neil Woodford calls out Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves' ‘expectation management’ speech ahead of the UK Budget — arguing that Britain’s economic problems aren’t caused by low taxes, Brexit or Liz Truss’s mini-Budget, but by record government spending. In this week’s episode, Neil dissects every claim from Rachel Reeves and exposes what he calls “the big lie” about Britain’s economy.
He explains why raising taxes won’t fix the UK’s problems, how inflation and spending have pushed interest costs to £100 billion, and why productivity isn’t what economists think it is. We break down the data behind debt, growth, and the OBR’s forecasts — and reveal which sectors could benefit as inflation and interest rates fall.
If you care about the UK Budget, Rachel Reeves, taxes vs spending, and Britain’s growth outlook, watch this before Budget Day.
