Budget Breakdown: Will UK Consumers Pay the Price | Mike Salem on GBN News' The Late Show

UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves has unveiled her new budget — but will consumers be better off? Beth speaks with Mike Salem, UK Policy Associate at the Consumer Choice Centre, who warns that the “revenue-raising” approach may mean higher taxes, higher living costs, and less freedom to choose how we spend our money. 🧾 Topics discussed include: • New taxes on everyday items (like a “milkshake tax”) • Rising property taxes & frozen income thresholds • Cost of living pressures • Government’s push toward “green choices” and sugar levies • Whether the Chancellor can really cut debt • Political pressures blocking spending cuts 📌 Mike’s verdict: Consumers could feel the pinch unless the government cuts inefficient spending instead of increasing taxes.
