Colmore in Conversation Episode 8: Our Take on the Autumn Budget 2026
With the Autumn Budget taking place last week, we naturally felt obliged to give our two pence on exactly what was discussed and, of course, share our thoughts and feelings about it all.
For our latest edition of Colmore in Conversation, we have a panel consisting of three of our lovely financial planners: Katrania Lowers, Richard Meek and Aidan Bennett. All at different stages in their financial planning careers, each bring intelligent, well-considered perspectives on the latest Budget announcements.
Many of us were expecting a little more to be said and a little more movement to occur. Kat’s expectations for action on student loans weren’t fulfilled, and Richard’s hopes for measures to address income tax cliff edges also went unanswered.
In short, it was largely a budget with little real substance, as you’ll hear in the podcast. Although there haven’t been many dramatic proposals, Richard’s advice is we need to be glad that certain things haven’t changed … so take the rules that we’ve got and embrace them.
We hope you enjoy watching this episode, and if you have any questions or thoughts you’d like to discuss with us, please do get in touch. If that isn’t enough Budget content for you, Richard has shared more of his thoughts in another edition of Richard’s Rants.
Our podcasts are streaming on VIMEO, or you can also listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
