Disability services face axe due to Budget, says charity

Latest blow to chancellor on back of national insurance hikes
A leading disability charity has warned it may be forced to stop running dozens of services as a result of Rachel Reeves’s tax hikes in her autumn Budget.
Mencap said it could be forced to stop providing at least 60 of its services as a result of the “charity tax”, the rise in national insurance paid by employers.
Ministers have spared the NHS and the public sector from the tax rise but refused to extend the exemption to charities. The warning comes just days after the chief executive of EveryYouth, a network of 12 youth homelessness charities, wrote to the deputy prime minister Angela Rayner to warn of hundreds of possible job losses within the network.

Marinating in the milk and honey of Israeli hyperbole
