"Sting in the tail. "Reeves is also expected to push ahead with a mansion tax imposing capital gains on the sale of main residences for the most expensive properties" First time I've seen this but it would be madness surely"

"This is not necessarily correct and probably wrong. 🤔 It would certainly be misleading to say this correction could pay for abolishing the two-child cap. This is because the fiscal 'wriggle room' depends on what the OBR is forecasting for the next five years not past data"

"By popular demand here's a chart of the IMF's forecasts for GDP growth *per capita* in 2025 and 2026 which is a better measure of changes in living standards than the headline numbers. 🤔 (I've simply ranked them by cumulative growth over the two years) (ps. it's still a mystery to me why anyone thinks the solution to the UK's problems is to copy the other underperformers notably France and Germany or even to tie us more closely to them again)"

"@Heccles94 FYI this is an obviously misleading chart which has already been debunked many times. Among other things the Eurostat and UK DWP series are defined differently. If you want to compare 'like for like' try this. 👇"

"Something for everyone in Andrew Bailey's remarks on Brexit today. 🤔 Many haven't bothered to read past the bit where he says that he expects Brexit's impact on economic growth to be negative "for the foreseeable future'". That has been the Bank line for many years and is nothing new. But he then says that "over a longer time there should be a positive albeit partial counterbalance" as trade adjusts. In fact he suggests this may already be happening. In other words even Bailey thinks the drag on growth will fade over time - not increase as many assume. Moreover note he's only talking about"

"If Ed Miliband announces that 100000 people will be employed to blow on windmills would these also be newly created 'green jobs'. 🌬 🤔 (serious point: it's the "value added" that matters not just the headcounts esp. if workers are being diverted from other activities)"

"I think this is revealing. 🤔 Polanski admits that the main aim of the Green's wealth tax would be to reduce inequality rather than fund higher public spending (apparently they have a magic money tree for that). In practice of course it would be unlikely to achieve either"

"Two problems with the 'Brexit blame game'. X even if you buy the OBR's assumption of a X% long-term hit to productivity (I don't) this is nothing new (it was first made in 2016). So how does that explain the expected downgrade in next month's Budget 🤔"

"2 aren't Labour claiming that they have improved the terms of the deal with the EU and reaped other Brexit benefits including the new agreements with the US and India If that's true shouldn't the OBR now be *less* pessimistic about the long-term impact 🤷♀"

"Frost is absolutely right to push back on this. X the X% is only a 'working assumption' about the impact on productivity over XX years X it's just a crude average of external studies not a 'calculation' by the OBR X it's not even clear that the OBR believes it any more"

"Among other things this would be a gift to the Conservatives. Even if only a few prople pay (like IHT) it would be a tax on aspiration - and freeze up the property market even further. Compare that to the Tory offer of abolishing stamp duty"

"Some less bad news on UK inflation. The headline CPI held at XXX% in September which was at least below the XXX% plus expected by the Bank of England and the markets but still well above the MPC's X% target and the average in the euro area 👇 More analysis to follow"

"Some takeaways. This is almost certainly the peak for inflation which should start to fall in October and return to target next year. This should allow the Bank to cut rates again. Markets think we may have to wait until February but I think next month is still in play"

"A small sigh of relief from the Treasury too especially as the September CPI will be used to uprate working-age benefits next April. However XXX% is still much higher than the OBR expected in March so the benefit uprating will still add to the budget shortfall"

"Big picture - the levelling out of inflation suggests that the bulk of the business cost increases in Rachel Reeves first Budget has now been passed through. But it is also consistent with weaker demand as activity stalls ahead of the next Budget in November"

"And one for the monetarists. Broad money growth has been running at around X% for some time now which is not fast enough to sustain inflation much above X% for very long"

"Finally Reeves has said she will try to use the November Budget to lower inflation notably by cutting energy bills. But many other government policies will still add to costs including new packaging taxes and additional red tape as a result of the Employment Rights Bill"
