In the interview, Mr. Nowak called Reeves to “not to remove anything from the table” and looked at other options, such as equalizing the capital earning tax with income tax, and said, “The reserve tax itself.”
He continued: “It was introduced in other countries, including Spain with one of the fastest growing economies.”

Nigel Farage’s Party Conference starts on Friday at Birmingham and Mr. Nowak published this warning to Keir Starmer: “The change sounds like a reality that is still unreachable. If the government does not fulfill the change of people, they will be disappointed with the mainstream policies and they will look for reform alternatives.”
Although the chancellor is far from being interested in a traditional dey tax on assets, some pay more to those who have the “widest shoulders” in the wider labor movement.
