The tax rises to look out for tomorrow

Plus: EU vaccine wars, Scottish disputes and reinventing yourself at 50 [View in browser]( Monday March 22 2021 [The Telegraph]( By Chris EvansEditor Dear Reader, It seems that vaccine wars are the latest friction point when it comes to our relationship with the European Union. [The EU moved to block vaccine exports to Britain last night]( and the Prime Minister will be speaking to his European counterparts about this later in the week. In her excellent column, Janet Daley suggests that all this shows not only that the EU is becoming “hysterical” in an attempt to save its credibility, but also that Boris Johnson is winning the Covid political war. “Downing Street has won a genuine moral victory as well as a public relations one,” [she writes](. Political tensions are also high in Scotland, as we await publication of a report into Nicola Sturgeon’s behaviour over the Alex Salmond affair. The Spectator went to court to ensure Mr Salmond’s evidence could be published, but as its editor, Fraser Nelson, writes, this has led to sinister accusations from the SNP that he is “not really Scottish”. [Can it really be right, as Fraser says]( that certain Scots are “slowly being erased from the SNP’s definition of Scottishness”? Tomorrow has been dubbed “Tax Day”, as the Treasury prepares to publish a number of consultations on future tax policy. It means taxpayers could be hit with tax rises, including a possible new online sales tax. [Harry Brennan explains what else might be in store](. Finally, after an impressive journalistic career, Eleanor Mills was devastated when she lost her high status – and high paying – job, at the age of 50. She realised that there was little support for so-called “midlifers", so decided to create an entirely new platform for them.
