Jeremy Hunt, Chancellor of the Exchequer, has today announced his Spring budget, as the government attempts to navigate Brits through the ongoing cost of living crisis.
This will be Mr Hunt's first full budget as chancellor, having been appointed the position by former PM Liz Truss in October 2022 after the dismissal of Kwasi Kwarteng. It's only been a few months since he announced the Autumn Statement, after he was brought in to try to fix the economic chaos caused by the former Prime Minister.
The Chancellor announced a "budget for growth", which includes plans to halve inflation, which he claims is the main reason for the various strikes we have seen over the past few months.
