What to expect from Jeremy Hunt’s Spring Budget 2023?

Jeremy Hunt will unveil his Budget on Wednesday as the country faces the pressing issues of inflation, pay and public finances.

The Budget comes in the wake of the autumn statement last November, which saw the chancellor hike taxes as he and Rishi Sunak sought to restore UK financial credibility after Liz Truss’ short-lived premiership.

This time, the chancellor is expected to focus on measures that will get various cohorts back to work as part of a wider push to boost growth.

It's not just energy costs that have sky rocketed, businesses are suffering, every area in life, from personal hygiene, clothes, products thro to shoes . Its travel costs, council tax increases, its rent increases, everything is suffering, in a normal household, it's gone well beyond Greed now, with the profits big Corp giants made last year, its Shameful . . .

Even if Hunt keeps the price cap at £2500 most will still pay an extra £66 per month for their electricity as the £400 winter assistance ends from 1/4. It’s misleading for many to say electricity bills will remain the same

Thanks Liz Truss for making this Reptile Chancellor.
