Hunt set to announce national insurance cut in pre-election Budget
Jeremy Hunt looks set to unveil a 2p cut to national insurance as he uses the Budget to woo voters ahead of this year’s general election.
The Chancellor is widely reported to have decided to cut national insurance rather than the more expensive option of a 2p reduction in income tax.
The move comes as he attempts to both revive the British economy and address an opinion poll deficit which suggests Rishi Sunak’s party is on course to be ousted at the election.
Downing Street would not be drawn on
