Which party has raised taxes the most in recent years? The Tories
The thing to remember: don't look at Budgets in isolation.
Taxes have been rising since 2021. The extra tax we're paying this year is the *cumulative* result of five successive Budgets, under three Chancellors.
This chart shows who's responsible & for how much.

Three cheers for the abolition of stamp duty.
Not SDLT (houses/land) or SDRT (listed shares), but the 334 year-old tax on unlisted shares and some other random stuff.

No change to the cash ISA limit of £20,000 is a win for common sense at likely no cost to the taxman. Let's have more of it #budget2026

Britain needs a defrag.
I wanted to visualise Britain's state spending ahead of the Budget, so I've vibe coded an app which presents it as a disk drive.
Take a look at the tradeoffs and see if you can make the budget fit:

An AI agent won’t forget. It’ll go through all your bills, without getting bored or flagging, to keep checking you’re still into all your standing orders staying that way.
Even so, AI agents with the best of intentions could still be plenty disruptive.

The marginal rate of tax on UK banks is 46.4pc, against just 27.9pc in New York. Yet Labour is toying with the idea of restoring the 8pc surcharge. Ministers speak the language of growth, but don't seem to understand the first thing about it. My column telegraph.co.uk/business/202…
