Reeves refuses to be drawn on wealth tax after ex-shadow chancellor’s call – UK politics live

Chancellor Jeremy Reeves declined to comment on the possibility of a wealth tax, following a call by former shadow chancellor Anneliese Dodds. Reeves stated that the government must "get the balance right on taxation." The government has announced a new civil service internship scheme that will be open only to working-class students. The scheme aims to make the civil service more reflective of the country's demographics. The definition of "working class" will be based on the occupations of the applicants' parents when they were 14 years old, replacing a previous program that was open to all.
