The Autumn Statement. Sunak and Hunt rehearse their general election message. It's a familiar one: "better the devil you know". | Conservative Home

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : Will Labour seek to spend more in government, on top of the £28 billion Hunt twitted Rachel Reeves with today?
50% : So the Chancellor could have used what the Resolution Foundation calls his "near £90 billion of fiscal good news" exclusively to further reduce government borrowing and debt, and continue to say that any tax cuts worth the name would merely stoke inflation - which is the view he was spelling out as recently as October.
41% : You may protest that this is all rot - pointing out that public spending and the tax burden are at record highs.
38% : The leitmotif of this stage in Sunak's story was for him to focus on policies that interest him and promote people he likes.
