Episode 1 - Comparing the party manifestos

Welcome to the opening episode of our First 100 Days in Office podcast series, where we will delve into the elected party’s policies and how these could impact sectors, businesses, and individuals.

In this episode, ahead of the country going to the polls, we will compare each party’s manifesto, looking in particular at their views on the economy, income taxes and personal allowance, CGT, pensions, closing tax loopholes for non-dom and corporate taxation.
