If I were Rachel Reeves: Hunt, Zahawi and Mel Stride give their advice
Sir Lots of people think being chancellor is like being Santa Claus with lots of goodies to dole out. The reality is rather different as both Rachel Reeves and I have found out. As I explain in my new book Can We Be Great Again? the biggest difference between good and bad governments is the extent to which you manage to carve out space for long-term decisions as opposed to daily firefighting. Here are the three crucial things I will be looking out for when it comes to the long term. First, given the austerity cuts about to be imposed on the police and criminal justice system, are we going to invest in modernising them so they really can deliver better outcomes with less money? Police officers spend up to eight hours a week on unnecessary admin tasks. They are crying out for modern IT systems which are normally the first casualty of any spending negotiations. If we want services to improve, things that unlock greater efficiency should be top and not bottom of a government's list. Second, when Europe is at war, you cannot commit to a programme that costs 3 per cent of GDP and only provide 2.5 per cent in funding — as the government appears to have done. That is a scandalous and dangerous black hole if ever there was one — not least a fortnight before the Nato summit. I was at the table when Trump nearly pulled the US out of Nato in 2018 so we are taking a big risk. But if we plug the gap, France and Germany are likely to as well. If we don't, and the US pulls out of Nato, it will not be 3 per cent we are arguing over but double that. Keir Starmer has shown he can be an international statesman — now really is the moment we need him to do the right thing. Finally, we have to avoid the doom loop of ever higher taxes creating ever lower growth. That means longer term supply-side policies to boost our growth rate. But in the short-term the only game in town is welfare reform as I explain in my new book. Getting the working age benefit bill to 2019 levels saves £49 billion — more than enough for 3 per cent of GDP on defence and to avoid tax rises. It would also be far better for people on benefits to be in work. Welfare reform isn't easy for Labour but with a large majority and four years in the mandate, if not now when? Nadhim Zahawi Rachel Reeves is in a difficult position. As the only cabinet member with real private sector experience, she should by now understand the difficulties businesses are facing because of the government's actions, not to mention families. Crucial to fixing this is to be able to reduce the tax burden, and that requires getting serious about growth. That will come from getting out of the way, deregulating and allowing supply-side reforms, but it also means attracting investment rather than driving it away. The closure of the non-doms regime has been a catastrophe for this, signalling that Britain isn't interested in prosperity. A flat-rate charge for wealthy individuals and entrepreneurs, as they do in Italy, would be a smart move, and worth eating humble pie over. Rome has had 2,200 multimillionaires settle there — raising hundreds of millions in tax and investment for the Italian people. If the chancellor can tempt them to the UK through a mix of a more welcoming tax regime, and a pledge to tackle law and order concerns, we could be back in business. Even before counting their ingenuity and investment, if we attracted just 3,000 new wealthy residents to Britain, charging them £400,000 per year to have an equivalent of non-dom tax status, she would be able to reverse the winter fuel allowance cut. Taking this further, and aiming for the sort of numbers America is hoping to attract with their Golden Visa programme, and she could do anything from abolishing the hated inheritance tax, which does so much to destroy family businesses and long-term investment in Britain, to an immediate increase in defence to 3 per cent of GDP or more. These are popular, easy fiscal policies which would unlock so much investment and revenue for the government. All Reeves needs to do is convince Labour not to hate wealth creators, which I grant may be a steep political challenge. Nadim Zahawi was Conservative chancellor between July and September 2022 Sir Mel Stride If I were in Rachel Reeves's shoes next week, I would do things very differently. First, I'd level with the public. Our country faces serious economic constraints and Labour's reckless policies are only deepening those problems — high debt, sluggish growth, rising cost of living. LEON NEAL/GETTY IMAGES The chancellor will no doubt tell us she is exercising judicious fiscal discipline, without mentioning that most of the new projects and programmes she is announcing are paid for with hundreds of billions in extra borrowing. I'd focus on what actually moves the dial. Productivity, public service reform and fiscal responsibility. That means rooting out waste, and being clear-eyed about what government can and cannot afford. And I wouldn't be afraid to say 'no'. Sometimes leadership means doing the difficult thing, not the easy or popular one. The scale of the spending being set out next week was confirmed in March, before the chancellor began being forced into embarrassing U-turns on welfare. We've seen what happens when fiscal credibility is lost — I would never let that happen again. So if I were the chancellor, I'd offer a serious plan. Rebuild stability, drive growth and restore trust. No gimmicks. Just hard truths and a credible path forward for our country.

EXCLUSIVE US billionaire dubbed 'the most powerful man on Wall Street' denies neighbours' claims he's plundering Wiltshire's underground water to fill his nine-million-gallon lake
A US billionaire's dream of creating a grand English country estate in the tradition of 18th Century landscape designer Capability Brown is facing a backlash from neighbours convinced he is tapping into their water supply. American financier Stephen Schwarzman bought the magnificent Conholt Park in Wiltshire – described as one of the finest shooting estates in southern England – for £82million three years ago. He has funnelled millions of pounds into transforming the 2,100-acre estate's parkland by building a huge lake that will hold more than nine million gallons of water. But The Mail on Sunday can reveal that Mr Schwarzman, dubbed the most powerful man on Wall Street, is under fire from neighbours who believe he is using a borehole to extract groundwater to fill the lake. This, they allege, could lead to water shortages at their own properties because they rely on a shared aquifer. There is also anger at plans to 'enhance' the estate's pheasant shoots, with local sources claiming Mr Schwarzman is preparing for up to 500 birds to be shot a day. 'I don't like what he is doing,' one local shooting enthusiast told the MoS. 'That's not sport.' Last night a spokesman for Mr Schwarzman, 78, the boss of Blackstone, one of the world's largest private-equity funds, denied the lake is being filled by a borehole and said the estate was instead using a 'highly sophisticated water collection system' that carries rainfall into the lake. The estate will also comply with all local regulations over the organisation of bird shoots and follow recommendations by the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust about bird stocks, the spokesman added. Mr Schwarzman's blueprint, approved by Wiltshire council last July, involves extending the mansion's south lawn, planting hundreds of trees and creating a 'ha-ha' (a sunken fence). Sources close to the tycoon, who is worth an estimated £32 billion and is married to Christine, a lawyer, say he loves the UK and highlight how he has donated around £200 million to the University of Oxford. But his relationship with some Wiltshire neighbours became strained after his landscaping scheme began and construction lorries allegedly started thundering along the narrow roads surrounding the estate. Relations soured further when excavators completed the construction of a lake, covering three acres. Farmers and landowners became suspicious by the sight of the lake filling up with water after it was finished in early March – despite months of dry weather. The MoS understands a neighbouring country estate has written to Conholt's managers on behalf of nearby farms demanding reassurances that groundwater is not being abstracted to fill the lake. One resident claimed the lake already appeared half full, adding: 'How could it have filled that much if it's not being filled from a borehole? It's the farmers around who are so worried as these resources are not infinite.' Another long-standing resident told the MoS: 'I've built lakes in the past during my time in agriculture and I can tell you it takes a hell of a lot of water to fill one that size. In recent months we've had pretty much no proper rain. This is why people are confused and there's mistrust.' A local farmer said: 'The worry is that if the aquifer runs dry then loads of people round here are going to have nothing coming out of the tap. We've got livestock – they'll have nothing to drink.' Last night Mr Schwarzman's spokesman said the lake is only 27 per cent full and claims that a borehole was being used to fill it were 'false'. They highlighted planning documents which detail how the lake will be filled 'through rainfall and a drainage system'. The new drainage system collects rainwater from the main house, outbuildings and paved areas, which then flows downhill into the lake, the spokesman added. 'The lake was installed under full compliance with planning regulations to ensure local residents' water supply would remain unaffected. Groundwater extraction is not being used to fill the lake.' They did concede that on a very limited number of occasions water from a borehole on the estate had entered the lake. This had been when water was used to test a new drainage system or, on one occasion when a faulty valve led to leak that lasted for a weekend. The volume of water was very limited, they said. The planning documents show Mr Schwarzman wants shooting on the estate to be 'further developed and enhanced'. A spokesman for Mr Schwarzman said the estate will be used for shooting 28 days a year 'as opposed to local commercial shoots which operate more than 70 days per year'. The spokesman added: 'The new owners of Conholt Park are committed to the restoration and preservation of a landmark estate of national heritage importance. 'Every aspect of the project is advancing with the highest regard for local planning regulations and a steadfast commitment to environmental stewardship. Any suggestion to the contrary is false and misleading.'

Major fashion brand with over 200 stores to close city centre branch in just HOURS
A CITY centre branch of a major fashion outlet is set to close its doors in a matter of hours. The branch of Cos at St Ann's Square in Manchester will close as of June 8. No statement has been issued by the retailer regarding its closure. However, a sign on the shop reads: "This store is closing on June 8. "For more information, ask a member of our team or visit Cos, which is part of the H&M group, had sat among other brands like OMEGA, Christopher James, and Mappin & Webb on St Ann's Square. The branch's staff are expected to be moved to other stores, the Manchester Evening News has reported. Another H&M brand Monki also saw a store close in Manchester's Arndale recently. Cos had taken its spot on St Ann's Square where GAP had previously been in 2018. The brand, which launched in 2007, currently boasts more than 200 stores. It comes as other high street retailers struggle across the country. The owners of River Island are understood to be drawing up a radical rescue plan, according to Sky News. Final sales begin as popular clothing brand closes all stores leaving 'devastated' shoppers scrambling for alternative The chain is being forced to restructure as a result of tough trading conditions. The firm's latest accounts at Companies House warned of growing financial and operational risks. "The market for retailing of fashion clothing is fast changing with customer preferences for more diverse, convenient and speedier shopping journeys and with increasing competition especially in the digital space," it said. Why are retailers closing stores? RETAILERS have been feeling the squeeze since the pandemic, while shoppers are cutting back on spending due to the soaring cost of living crisis. High energy costs and a move to shopping online after the pandemic are also taking a toll, and many high street shops have struggled to keep going. However, additional costs have added further pain to an already struggling sector. The British Retail Consortium has predicted that the Treasury's hike to employer NICs from April will cost the retail sector £2.3billion. At the same time, the minimum wage will rise to £12.21 an hour from April, and the minimum wage for people aged 18-20 will rise to £10 an hour, an increase of £1.40. The Centre for Retail Research (CRR) has also warned that around 17,350 retail sites are expected to shut down this year. It comes on the back of a tough 2024 when 13,000 shops closed their doors for good, already a 28% increase on the previous year. Professor Joshua Bamfield, director of the CRR said: "The results for 2024 show that although the outcomes for store closures overall were not as poor as in either 2020 or 2022, they are still disconcerting, with worse set to come in 2025." It comes after almost 170,000 retail workers lost their jobs in 2024. End-of-year figures compiled by the Centre for Retail Research showed the number of job losses spiked amid the collapse of major chains such as Homebase and Ted Baker. It said its latest analysis showed that a total of 169,395 retail jobs were lost in the 2024 calendar year to date. This was up 49,990 – an increase of 41.9% – compared with 2023. It is the highest annual reading since more than 200,000 jobs were lost in 2020 in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced retailers to shut their stores during lockdowns. The centre said 38 major retailers went into administration in 2024, including household names such as Lloyds Pharmacy, Homebase, The Body Shop, Carpetright and Ted Baker. Around a third of all retail job losses in 2024, 33% or 55,914 in total, resulted from administrations. Experts have said small high street shops could face a particularly challenging 2025 because of Budget tax and wage changes. Professor Bamfield has warned of a bleak outlook for 2025, predicting that as many as 202,000 jobs could be lost in the sector. "By increasing both the costs of running stores and the costs on each consumer's household it is highly likely that we will see retail job losses eclipse the height of the pandemic in 2020." 2
