Budget Aftermath - Weathering the Fiscal Storm

In this episode, Warren Shute and Paul Cleworth deliver a post-Budget forecast tailored for financial planners. With the dust settling after Rachel Reeves’ first Autumn Budget, they break down what’s changing — and what isn’t — across taxation, pensions, welfare, and public spending. It’s not just about the announcements, but the implications for client conversations and strategic planning.

They explore the potential long-term effects of frozen thresholds, the subtle increases in fiscal drag, and where planners should be looking for hidden risks — and emerging opportunities. From the shifting landscape of capital gains tax to murmurs about pension reform, the geeks help you sort signal from noise.

Whether you’re advising clients this week or prepping for future reviews, this episode equips you with a planner’s-eye view of the budget aftermath. It’s about more than reaction — it’s about readiness. Tune in to make sure you're prepared for whatever financial weather is coming next.
