Treasury minister Emma Reynolds has been criticised after saying on GB News that employers are not working people but companies. She was defending this week's Budget, which raised tax on income from property and savings, against claims it broke Labour's manifesto promise. Conservative and Reform politicians said the remark ignored small business owners who work long hours. She insisted the Budget was targeted and fair.
