Young people shouldn't have to rely on a 'postcode lottery' to access employment opportunities. Our recent report found that regions with less suitable opportunities for young people also tend to have higher NEET rates. Here's @RachaelAHenry on GB news this morning.

Today's stats show that 2024-25 tax year saw record capital gains, and capital gains tax revenue. Capital gains tax is an increasingly important source of revenue for the government, particularly following the unprecedented boom in asset values over the past two decades. Income from wealth is likely to become steadily more significant as technology adoption and automation accelerate in the coming years. We don’t know what the government is planning for the upcoming budget, but CGT reform should be a priority.

Reform are correct in their identification of not enough social housing, but their solution is the wrong one. Social housing is already prioritised for those who need it most - people who are homeless or fleeing domestic violence, families with young children, people living in overcrowded homes. Priority is also given to current or former members of the armed forces and some councils give extra priority to people who are in work or volunteering. Instead of needlessly setting the 1.3 million people on the social housing waiting list against each other, Reform should be laying out exactly how they are going to deliver a boost in social housing numbers. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgj…
