This year the talk is about a range of tax rises to areas such as wealth, pensions and savings, fuel duty and property taxes. The clear risk here is that these measures will take money out of the economy as people move money between asset classes and the property market slows. A slow property market has a wide impact on legal services, building companies, DIY, furniture, white goods etc.
We are likely to see a lack of confidence in spending, combined with further pressure on some sectors pushing up prices and unemployment adding to today's problems.
Let's hope Reeves decides to stimulate confidence and get more money moving in the economy, the back benches seem to have won the day on Welfare Reform so I doubt it.
PS Why Part Deux, because the French are in the merde and we are not far behind them.

Figures just out showed the economy flat-lined in January. |
We are going to have to reverse the impact on small businesses sooner or later, it's economic suicide.
There's a whole load of ignorant preachers on the left who don't understand how the country's economy is structured. People running small businesses are not greedy bar stewards making millions. The average annual profit is £13,000 for a small business and Reeves has attacked them on four fronts simultaneously.
Torsten Bell, the class war donkey, wrote in the Resolution Foundation strategy for 2030 that the hospitality industry could withstand higher taxes as the middle classes would be happy to pay more.
You couldn't make this stuff up, it's so far wide of the mark. Our economy has stalled and it's now going to get worse with less flexibility for small businesses. It's just utter crap. [Post edited 13 Mar 18:11]

They will never, ever understand. What's mine is mine. What's yours is also mine to spaff away on my voter base. That's how these people think, and it's killing the economy. |  |

The policies that they have introduced put people off from starting a business, we are closing down businesses with a reduced chance of replacing them.
They don't seem to understand that the private sector pays for everything, they are going to find out soon! | |

Milliband in charge of the oil and petrol price scenario we now have is an indication of the wrong people in the wrong roles in Governmemt we have now .
Starmer is the culprit as now admitting his oversight in appointing Mandy , more waffle .
Milliband was on tele recently still banging on about how The UK needs to be greener going forward , person living in another zone to the rest of the petrol payers at the pumps .
Russia will soon release millions of gallons of oil taken in by China and India asap .
We will still hug trees without realising these days that oil overules all of the laws of being nice and green .
Cash was King once , oil is now the major player . |  | | |

If you are thinking times are going to get tough, remember that Reeves pushed the biggest rise in taxes / reduction in spending to the last two years of the Parliament.
10 year gilt rates hit 5 percent today!!
Something radical needs to be done now, it won't happen and Starmer will sit on the fence as our financial position gets worse every month.
We will end up in bail out territory, and then the changes will be forced upon us.

This is the irony. UK is hitting lots of targets and doing better than expected in a lot of the measures. "Sticky" inflation is causing problems and BOE are dealing with it as they decide. The issue is perception though. Even though analysts say that UK is doing better than expected after the last 14 years of a different government the voters' perception is the opposite. |  |
