Five Things To Look Out For In Jeremy Hunt’s Budget

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt is aiming to present a safety-first Budget on Wednesday, with the goal of restoring Britain’s credibility after Liz Truss’s short-lived premiership. The Budget will be smaller than Hunt’s Autumn Statement, but he hopes to provide voter-friendly tax cuts and public-spending increases in the autumn. Hunt has billed his Budget as a back-to-work statement, aiming to break down the barriers that stop people from working. Five things to look out for in the Budget include the Office for Budget Responsibility’s economic forecasts, the impact of Brexit on the UK economy, the government’s plans for infrastructure investment, the impact of the National Living Wage, and the government’s plans to tackle the housing crisis.
