The former chancellor said when inflations eases he's 'sure Jeremy Hunt's priority will be to start looking at what more we can do to help people with the tax burden'
Mr Hunt in the aftermath of the budget insisted there was “nothing Conservative about ducking difficult decisions”, as he stressed the need to put UK finances on a more sustainable footing.
“But we have a challenge today, which if allowed to take hold, to embed, will be deeply damaging. We wouldn’t have a hope in hell of being able to do anything to bear down on taxation if we don’t deal with inflation in the first place. The economy is also predicted to contract by 1.4% next year, unemployment is expected to rise by more than 500,000 while taxes are set to reach their highest level as a share of national income since the end of the Second World War.
