Labour wants us live like working people and do whatever working people do – but what exactly is that?
There are 109 paid members of the government (there'd be more if it wasn't limited by law), and, as we've come to learn, each one has their own definition of what constitutes 'working people'. This includes non-definition definitions, such as the one most recently offered by Chancellor Rachel Reeves: 'I don't think we need to define more than that, really. We made a commitment in our manifesto to not increase those taxes. We didn't last year. It remains our commitment for this parliament'. To be fair, she was referring back to her party's well-known manifesto commitment ('income tax, VAT and National Insurance are the key taxes that working people pay'). And that's undeniable to the point of truism. But what that fails to acknowledge is that lots of the idle rich pay considerable sums in VAT every time they buy a private jet or dine out at a fancy restaurant. Should we consider those people 'working people'? Her deputy, Darren Jones, chief secretary to the Treasury, has been a bit more specific lately, stating 'working people' covers 'anyone with a payslip'. That could be extremely broad in the figurative sense of doing paid work for an employer – or very narrow if it literally means you get a physical slip of paper with your gross and net pay, tax, NI and pension contributions typed out. Of course, when she was under less pressure, in those easy, balmy days of opposition, Reeves was more forthcoming – well, a bit – when she suggested that 'working people are people who go out to work and work for their incomes… There are people who do have savings, who have been able to save up, and those are working people as well.' How big are the savings, though? No figure has ever been suggested. The nearest we've got was when Keir Starmer said that his idea of 'working people' are those 'who earn their living, rely on our services and don't really have the ability to write a cheque when they get into trouble'. That's not bad, except that even the richest people rely on the council to get their gold-plated bins collected – and if, say, Lord Montagu of Beaulieu had gotten run over by one of his fine classic cars and had been taken to an NHS hospital in an NHS ambulance and fixed up by an NHS doctor. More recent still, at the weekend, transport secretary Heidi Alexander had a stab at it – and said working people were folk on 'a modest income'. Then again, Lisa Nandy, culture secretary and professional Northerner, conceded that people with six-figure salaries can be 'working people' too (which is just as well, seeing as she's on £159,851 per annum). In her own words: 'I mean, if they go to work obviously they will be working'. Unarguable, but inconsistent with colleagues. Bridget Phillipson, over on education, meanwhile, refuses to say if the self-employed are 'working people', confining herself to those 'whose main income arises from the fact that they go out to work every day' – which must surely include small business owners who are plumbers, window cleaners or pest controllers; the ones who cannot work from home and whose only boss is themselves. I suppose that trying to define 'working people' is like the old saying about trying to define an elephant – you know one when you see one. On that basis, the endless variety of categorisations offered by Labour politicians make some sense, because nearly everyone works for a living, has worked for a living (pensioners), will work for a living (students) or would work for a living if they could get a job, or, come to think of it, start their own business. If Labour said that they wouldn't put taxes on 'working people' up, then they meant nearly everyone, and that's how they got to win the election – because no one thought that any prospective tax hikes would affect them. This impression was greatly amplified by the high-profile changes they did propose – VAT on private school fees, attacking the super-rich non doms and ending the use of offshore truest to avoid tax. 'Working people' was a way of saying 'not you' to the floating voter of 2024 worried about the state taking even more of their income away. It's better than 'working-class', which is pejorative, or 'middle class', which would be too exclusive – and, besides, we don't like talking about class these days. It's a bit divisive. We can see another reason why Labour relied on such a rubbery concept as 'working people' – it was based on the searing experience of previous – lost – elections. It's because as soon as a shadow chancellor mentioned any kind of figure about who might actually be worse off under a Labour government, the media went mad and the Tories used it as an 'attack on aspiration' and labelled it a 'tax bombshell', even though few people would ever have been injured by this legendary socialist missile. If Labour's tax and spend plans that would revolutionise health and education cost anyone as much as a quid a week, the press crucified the hapless Labour leader of the day. So now they don't get too specific and they left much unsaid in 2024, sticking to the equally banal slogan of 'change'. Well, we all know what happened next. And what was a meaningless but useful slogan for Opposition has turned into a terrible burden in government, precisely because every 'working person' pays council tax (up), income tax (thresholds frozen, probably for the rest of the decade), has savings and a pension (hit by capital gains tax rises), and, realistically, is affected by the rise in employers' national insurance contributions. Starmer and Reeves left themselves no room for manoeuvre even in good times, and were critically vulnerable to making their pledge sound like a sick joke in the bad times. They should never have given the British people the impression that only the richest would have to make any financial sacrifice to put the public finances on a sustainable basis. But, then again, given that the British are a devoutly cakeist people, who think they can enjoy fine public services without paying much for them, Labour would never have won the election if they'd told the truth – which is that Brexit, which we voted for, is still costing us dearly. In the end, it's all our own fault, and we 'working people' have only ourselves to blame. Still, there's always Reform UK, more than happy to tell us we can have our cake and eat it. Irresistible, isn't it?

What would a wealth tax mean for Britain? Ask Chris Blackhurst anything
Welcome to an exclusive Ask Me Anything with me, Chris Blackhurst – business commentator at The Independent. Scroll down to read more – or jump straight to the Q&A by clicking here. Talk of a wealth tax is back. And this time, it's being pushed not from the political fringe, but from within the Labour Party itself. Former party leader Lord Kinnock has called for a 2 per cent tax on assets over £10 million, arguing it could raise up to £11 billion a year and help shore up the UK's finances. His intervention has reignited debate over an 'asset tax' on the super-rich. With five trade unions now backing the idea, and Rachel Reeves refusing to rule anything out ahead of her Mansion House speech, Labour's direction on tax policy is under real scrutiny. I've spent decades reporting from the Square Mile and speaking to the people who keep Britain's economy turning. And from where I sit, a wealth tax is not just economically risky – it's a political signal that the UK is no longer serious about prosperity, investment, or growth. The wealthy, contrary to popular myth, don't live in a vacuum. They create jobs, fund philanthropy, and help drive economic confidence. Drive them away, and it's not just the rich who suffer – it's the exchequer, small businesses, and the very public services Labour wants to support. The UK's loss is another's gain. There are plenty of countries lining up to entice the wealthy to relocate. So what's really going on here? Is a wealth tax a fair way to close Labour's fiscal black hole – or a dangerous misstep that could stall Britain's recovery just as it gets going? Join me live at 6pm BST on Wednesday, 16 July, as I take your questions and comments on wealth, taxation, and the high-stakes economic choices facing this new Labour government.

Full list of 72 Côte Brasserie restaurants at risk of closure as chain ‘up for sale' – is one getting the chop near you?
POPULAR French restaurant chain Côte Brasserie is on the brink – with all 72 of its UK sites at risk of closure as the company is officially put up for sale. The upmarket bistro chain, loved for its croque monsieurs and steak frites, has already shut several sites. 2 2 While around 60 branches are said to be profitable, insiders warn that underperforming locations could be axed if no buyer is found. Private equity firm Partners Group, which rescued Côte from collapse in 2020, has now called in Interpath Advisory to find a buyer – sparking fears of a major shake-up across the chain. Several restaurants have already bitten the dust, including Gloucester Quays, which closed earlier this year, and Hampstead, which shut after 14 years. The Harrogate branch also closed in April, with hopes of relocating elsewhere in the town. Sources say rising costs, staff shortages, and soaring energy bills have put intense pressure on the business, leaving every branch under review as the sale process unfolds. Now diners across the country are bracing for bad news – and wondering if their go-to Côte is next on the chopping block. Full list of Côte Brasserie locations that have closed: Gloucester Quays Hampstead (London) Harrogate Manchester (St Mary's Street, Deansgate) Trinity Leeds Haywards Heath Full list of Côte Brasserie locations currently operational, but at risk: Barbican Covent Garden Hay's Galleria Kensington Marylebone Sloane Square Soho St Christopher's Place St Katharine Docks St Martin's Lane St Paul's Barnes Blackheath Chislehurst Chiswick Ealing Kingston Muswell Hill Richmond Royal Festival Hall Teddington Wimbledon Basingstoke Bluewater Brighton Canterbury Chichester Esher Farnham Guildford Hanley on Thames Horsham Lewes Marlow Newbury Oxford Reading Reigate Tunbridge Wells Winchester Windsor Woking Wokingham Bath Bournemouth Bristol - Clifton Village Bristol - Quaker Friars Cheltenham Cirencester Dorchester Exeter Salisbury West Bridgford Bishop's Stortford Bury St Edmunds Cambridge Chelmsford Norwich Peterborough St Albans Welwyn Garden City Cardiff Bay Cardiff Central Chester Liverpool Newcastle York Edinburgh Leamington Spa Shrewsbury Solihull Worcester What happens next? All 72 Côte Brasserie branches are on the chopping block as the chain goes up for sale – but that doesn't mean they'll all shut. While some fan-favourite spots could be spared, every single restaurant is under review, and it all comes down to the buyer, the books, and the bottom line. Huge restaurant chain 'up for sale' putting 70 sites at risk of closure Only the most profitable sites are likely to survive, so diners are being warned: no location is safe just yet. Chair of UK Hospitality, Kate Nicholls, said: "If we carry on with these trends and the situation doesn't improve - and clearly Rachel Reeves 's statements are giving a signal to consumers that it is not going to get better any time soon - then I would see this accelerating. "Unless there is a change of tack by the government, we are looking at 150,000-200,000 fewer workers in hospitality during the first full year of [employer national insurance contribution] changes." What is happening to the hospitality industry? By Emily Mee, Consumer reporter RESTAURANTS and pubs have faced a series of blows in recent years. The pandemic had already hit businesses hard as hospitality venues were forced to close during lockdowns. Then they were dealt another blow when the cost of living crisis ramped up, causing customers to spend less on eating out. At the same time they've been dealing with higher costs of things like energy, rents and supplies. More recently they've also been hit by the Government's hike in National Insurance costs for employers. At the same time, the national minimum wage increased - making it more expensive to hire employees. It's led to numerous chains collapsing or having to close sites in recent years. TGI Fridays collapsed into administration last year, although has since launched a huge comeback after being forced to close 35 restaurants. Britain's largest fish and chip chain, Deep Blue Restaurants, has also sold off five of its popular sites. The brand owns popular chain Harry Ramsden's. Plus, dim sum chain Ping Pong has closed all of its locations across the country after reporting it had faced "significant disruption" due to the pandemic.
