QuoteUK bank shares jump after 'avoiding budget tax raid'
Shares in UK banks have jumped at the start of trading, following reports that they will be spared from a tax raid in the budget.

Splendid, tax raise for me is more guaranteed by the day!

One thing perhaps Labour could take from Fidesz' playbook is the sector taxes. Orban's people would raise taxes on banks and telecom companies. It was very obvious, and came to be, that they'd need to increase prices/interest charged so at the end of the day it'd be the consumers paying the tax, but the majority of the electorate could not make that "complex" connection of the banks being told to pay more and their own personal financial situation becoming a bit worse.
