Chancellor Jeremy Hunt promises further tax cuts in pre-general election speech

Jeremy Hunt will promise further tax cuts if the Tories win the next general election and will accuse the Labour Party of not being honest about how it will fund its spending pledges.

The chancellor will give a speech in London on Friday in which he will accuse his shadow, Rachel Reeves, of resorting to "playground politics" with her criticism of the high levels of taxation on UK households.

Mr Hunt will also reiterate his ambition to eradicate the national insurance tax - which the Tories have already slashed twice in a bid to move the polls - where they currently lag 20 points behind Labour

Your talking to deaf ears Hunt. Tories have absolutely zero chance of winning the publics vote

[hawick]

Highest personal taxes under the Tories for 70 years, I would keep your mouth shut Mr Hunt.

Every single days many jobs close down, that's the reality

[JoeWedgwood-ikzo]

Same old drivel. Luckily no one is listening anymore.

Better of getting a passport get the hell out of uk things will get alot worse then people think

We need higher wages not less taxes..Tax cuts are short term… Wage rises are long term.. 14yrs of regression has taken its toll on us all..I’ve had enough of my families living standards cut year on year.

It’s time for a change.
Time for us to get up off our knees and vote these charlatans out!.

[thenglihcollector]

Desperate and a cringe fest. I don't remember starmer saying labour will raise taxes so what's all this nonsense about

[usleluh]

I suppose it's admirable in one way, telling outright lies while keeping a straight face.

Jeremy Hunt announces tax rises for Labour 😂😂

[lgqfhjr]

Tories will cut the tax and raise the inflation, they cut just few pounds income tax and raise indirect taxes on much higer rates, they promised increased VAT is only for 2 years, and now its 14th year with increased VAT.

Tories ‘CON’-The people &
‘SERVE’-Themselves 🤑

[alanparr]

They're getting desperate, this is pathetic.

If they could stand on their own achievements, they would, but all they've got to say is "Labour will be worse" and peddle lies to try to back up that statement.

Labour don't have a plan - yes they do, they won't stop shouting about it.
Labour will raise taxes - they've explicitly said they won't for anyone in spite of calls to raise taxes for the top 1%.
Labour will leave open borders - they've explicitly said they won't and our borders are pretty open now so not sure how they could get more open!

"Independent, official costings" - No doubt paid for by Tufton Street.

Energy crisis is nothing to do with ukrain I love how this government loves to shift blame onto anything but themselves

[dazzaessex]

I’d rather they concentrate on what they are going to do…Rather than slag pff the other side….looks like they are scared of the competition

[asaphasingwire]

No mention of Truss and Kwateng the real reason he is a Chancellor

[hammerofolympia]

Dude is getting me hyped for a Labour government.

[kevinhay]

Soft landing for the one percent. What about the rest of us.

[phillipingham]

The selecter have a song for this guy……..it’s called “missing words”

The biggest myth in British Politics is that it's actually worth a fart.
