Brian Byrnes

Andrew Craig, a best-selling author and finance commentator, joins Brian Byrnes, Head of Personal Finance at Moneybox, to dissect the latest UK Budget. They explore the implications of fiscal drag and how it acts as a stealth tax, pushing more workers into higher tax brackets. The duo critiques the impact of high taxes on private sector growth and the UK's pension shortfall compared to Australia. They discuss the limitations of ISA changes, the importance of financial education, and how some budget measures may take years to implement.
