Budget 2025 – analysis from our team
The Autumn Budget 2025 presents a series of fiscal measures aimed at stabilising the UK economy, addressing the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, and ensuring long-term growth. With public finances under pressure, the Chancellor has outlined a plan to increase tax...
Budget 2025 – reaction from Sean Wiegand
It was my last year’s Budget comments that started by saying this is probably the Budget that gave me the most anxiety of all time. Who would have thought 12 months on, that statement could already be superseded by Budget 2025. The level of speculation and apparent...
Budget 2025 – reaction from Nick Forsyth
As she looked in the mirror and readied herself for the photographs on the steps and her speech in The House, someone at the OBR pressed a button and released all the Budget 2025 information to the world. Whether a mistake or conspiracy, it's just another thing to...
Budget 2025 – reaction from Richard Hamilton
Labour’s Budget 2025 clearly didn’t get off to a good start with the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) publishing its economic forecast early - an embarrassing moment to kick things off. It should have been “mum’s the word” until Rachel Reeves had stood up to...
Budget 2025 – reaction from Graham McNeill
How were my Budget 2025 predictions? Well, to start, I got the time completely wrong! No massive surprise with our Government that details were released early, published by the OBR (The Office for Budget Responsibility) due to a 'technical error' just before midday!...
Budget 2025 – reaction from Mark Pearson

Budget 2025 – reaction from Lisa Greenwood
Shocks, surprises, disappointment, anger, unexpected twists – no, it isn’t an episode of Eastenders, it’s my opinion of the Budget 2025. As I gear up to do what will probably be my last official Lambert Chapman Budget comments article, I was hoping for something...
Budget 2025 – reaction from Mike Carabine
I know you have probably read this article already … After a couple of months of kite flying by Rachel Reeves, seeing which potential tax-raising ideas would meet with the least resistance, she stood up at 12.30 pm to reveal all - except for the fact that somebody at...
Budget 2025 – reaction from Craig Weavers
The Chancellor’s Budget 2025 announcement that the 100% allowance for APR/BPR assets will be transferable between spouses is welcome news ahead of the upcoming changes to inheritance tax in April 2026. It does not go far enough in my opinion, and the changes will...
Budget 2025 – reaction from Lucy Orrow
Where to start... It’s not a Budget of nothings, but it’s definitely had me scratching my head. There are so many ‘bits’ and ‘pieces’ around the edges which have been tweaked. So, what do I share with you…. The things we ‘sort of’ knew Tax thresholds have been frozen...
