Video insights

@antonia_investing's TikTok video "New ONS figures show the government borrowed £18.3bn in August 2026, £3.5bn more than planned, with £8.8bn of that going purely on debt interest, a record for the month. Chancellor John Healey delivers his first Budget on 28 October, and numbers like this tend to make tax changes more likely. With borrowing this high going into the Budget, it's worth actually understanding how you're taxed rather than just how it feels. I've built a free tax hub that breaks it all down. Go and have a look before the 28th. Are you expecting tax rises, spending cuts, or both this Budget? Let me know below. For educational purposes only. This does not provide financial, tax or investment advice, and tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may change.
