Chancellor R ishi Sunak has announced today, March 23, his Spring Statement - a ‘mini-budget’ that dictates the government spending plan moving forward.
Sunak has come under enormous pressure due to the heightening cost of living crisis, which sees hard-up families being forced to the wire by hikes in everything from food to heating.
The new financial plan sets out a number of changes including a 5p drop in fuel duty, a 1p on the pound drop in income tax by 2024 and VAT cuts to green energy technology like solar panels and heat pumps,
