Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has delivered what he called a “balanced path to stability” which involves “taking difficult decisions”.
As part of his Autumn Statement, he told MPs: “Anyone who says there are easy answers is not being straight with the British people: some argue for spending cuts, but that would not be compatible with high-quality public services.
“Others say savings should be found by increasing taxes, but Conservatives know that high tax economies damage enterprise and erode freedom.
