Taxes threshold: The taxes threshold is unlikely to change significantly regardless of election outcome as neither party has proposed a viable plan to fund policies without maintaining the current threshold
The threshold for taxes is unlikely to change significantly regardless of which political party wins the upcoming election, as neither has proposed a viable plan to fund their policies without maintaining the current threshold. Economically, the UK's recovery from recession has been revised slightly upward, with the Office for National Statistics reporting a 0.7% growth rate for the first quarter of the year, up from the previously reported 0.6%. Additionally, Princess Anne, a member of the British royal family, has returned home from the hospital after suffering minor injuries and concussion, believed to have been caused by a horse riding accident. These stories, along with others, will be covered in greater detail throughout the day on Times Radio.
