Money guru Martin Lewis has responded to Chancellor Jeremy Hunt's Autumn Statement today, in which tens of billions of pounds of tax rises and spending cuts were announced.
The founder of MoneySavingExpert.com welcomed the 10.1% increase in benefits and state pension, but said it would be "difficult" for the "squeezed" middle, as many won't be eligible for much of the support announced.
Martin shared updates on Chancellor Jeremy Hunt's budget as it happened on Twitter, and wrote afterwards: "I am very pleased that both benefits and the state pension are being increased by the 10.1% September inflation rate.
