The Budget. Hunt sticks lipstick on a pig. | Conservative Home

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

60% : He did announce the expected end to the non-dom status, robbing Labour of one of their few revenue-raising measures and obvious personal attacks on the Prime Minister.
58% : In what Hunt also flagged as the discovery by the Treasury and OBR of Arthur Laffer's doodlings, higher rate of capital gains tax was cut by 4 per cent.
53% : Starmer rightly pointed towards frozen tax thresholds.
49% : He placed him between ardent tax-cutters on one hand, and starry-eyed spenders on the other.
48% : Deprived of the fiscal headroom he had dreamed of, the Chancellor matched his flurry of tax changes with similar hikes.
42% : Rather than cut planned public spending increases from 1 per cent to 0.75 per cent, Hunt changed nothing.
