Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : As well as significant tax rises, the chancellor has hinted that she will revive plans to reduce the welfare bill, as she wrestles with a costly downgrade to the OBR's productivity forecast.
53% : Figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed public sector net borrowing - the difference between public spending and income - hit £20.2bn last month, up £1.6bn from the same month last year and the highest September borrowing since 2020.
53% : The ONS said a rise in tax receipts was unable to offset the jump in debt interest costs this year and a rise in welfare costs, which have mostly soared in response to rising inflation.
